Oh, how I love how he thinks! Sometimes, I laugh so hard and other times I wonder how his mind comes up with all of those thoughts. Do I agree 100% with him? No, but sometimes he is just so deep into political stuff that I really don’t know enough to be listening and making judgement.

Recently, I found another journalist who was defending Glenn Beck, hence the title of my post. I thought I would share a little here, and then let you head on over to really read it all.

For a self-described rodeo clown who frequently admits he isn’t that bright, Glenn Beck must be doing something right. A de facto leader of the populist backlash against President Obama, he made the cover of Time magazine, with his tongue sticking out no less. His books are immediate best-sellers. His radio and TV shows have stratospheric ratings. His one-man comedy performances draw packed audiences, and the proceeds from his numerous ventures have him making north of $20 million a year.

Now, before I proceed, I should disclose the fact that I like Beck personally and that his support for my book Liberal Fascism was a huge boon, helping to push it to No. 1 on The New York Times best-seller list. As a Fox News contributor, I have appeared regularly on his show. Whether that gives me more, or less, credibility when I say I cannot defend some of the things he says is for others to decide.

But perhaps his most impressive feat is his ability to unite a broad coalition of liberals, media scolds and conservatives under the single banner of Beck-hatred.
