The Wizard of Beck. David Brooks on the Influence and Power of Right Wing Talkers.

So, should Beck and Limbaugh be silenced, or should people be able to reason for themselves and recognize idiocy when they see it?

I think David Brooks is a slick charachter who works very hard to come across as thoughtful and balanced. He comes across as a voice of reason and logic and centrism on domestic affairs but he's also an apologist for liberal interventionism.

He often speaketh with forked tongue himself but he's much more sophisticated.

Explain to me at what point I suggested they should be silenced? What does that even have to do with this topic? A topic about the real or imagined power of these talking heads.
