Now, Beck's statements are a perfect example of being a Populist.
US Senator and FED shill Judd Gregg called Ron Paul a "populist" with his HR 1207 a few months ago on CNBC... this is an absolute lie because we all know Ron has been after the FED for decades and Gregg, et al, labeled him as nutty, before this became popular, but now that people/citizens/Americans are catching on to the truth of the Federal Reserve, it has become very popular, not onl;y in AMerica, but across the planet.
For Glenn Beck, now that the people(especially the true Tea Party starters here and now TP groups across America), realize, exposed, and against the damage of THE FED, THE PATRIOT ACT, or Liberties and Freedoms systematically being stripped.
The revolt against the huge Government establishment lining their pockets or for themselves immunites, special privledges, and growth of their imperial empire... has struck a nerve with Americans across all political persuasions ... Beck and FOX and FRIENDS knows this...
Beck is riding the wave, all the way to the bank and he can falsely fool himself as a "Do Gooder"
Never trust ANY MSM corporate outlet or their puppets running popularity games!
