"Beck is an enigma, a chameleon, a shape-shifter, continually reinventing himself. He has gone from 'zoo radio' cut-up, to stand-up comedian, to political commentator/entertainer, to Fox News firebrand, to cheerleader of a populist anti-government movement, to a modern-day Cassandra prophesying doom and destruction for a nation allegedly in the thrall of progressivism. Beck has constructed a universe where the U.S. is under siege by progressives plotting to transform the nation into a socialist or--worse--communist or fascist state. Using innuendo, chop logic, guilt by association, conspiracy theories, progressive and liberal bogeymen, and what seems a carefully cultivated image of righteous indignation, Beck presents himself as today's Paul Revere, warning the countryside that the enemy is at the gate."
