There is no reason to hate Beck...

Beck is like most libertarians when they start out (myself included). They are confused, and can't quite get everything to line up right. If you start as a neo-con (like I did) usually the foreign policy stuff takes a bit longer. Slowly you start to come around to the whole philosophy. This is what I have witnessed from Beck. Over the years he has slowly become more libertarian, though he seems to bounce around a bit. He is just confused in some areas and he is great in others. But his point that we libertarian "eat our own" is certainly true, and I have been guilty of this many a time in the past. So I really don't think it is a good idea to place Beck in a box as an enemy, I would call him a luke warm ally. The real enemies are people like Bill Orielly, John McCain, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Lindsay Graham and those types, people who have NO libertarian tendencies at all and aren't willing to learn or open their mind. Beck has most certainly opened his mind and is certainly a candidate to become a full blown libertarian. Don't hate him for what he said about Ron Paul (he has praised Ron Paul many a time too by the way), look at him as a future ally but be aware that he isn't completely on our side yet.
