Yeah its about crafting that typical us vs them garbage people like him are so good at, its the same shtick that kept Rush on the air through the Clinton years...create an enemy and then harp on it until people are incensed over the dumbest of issues.

"How dare them libruls wanna put veggies in our school lunches!!! Communism I say!"

What annoys me about people like Beck though is the hyperbole he uses the process. Look at the story above. Somebody probably could build a reasonable argument that universities are too liberal and not doing enough to craft conservative thinkers (sounds like a bunch of hooey to me but whatever). But not Beck and his peers, instead he throws around terms like "re-education camps" and "indoctrinating our children" to sensationalize what should be nothing more then a trivial discussion about politics. Keep 'em angry and separate 'em over every issue and they'll keep tuning in in droves.
