Oh I don't know.
The thing is, Beck was boasting how he, as an individual, managed to call hundreds of thousands to the Mall. Truly that is no easy feat (though I would argue it was clearly not just him). He has lots of people who like him and lots who hate him, but it has become quite apparent that people listen to him and are more than willing to participate with him in his quest to "restore the republic."
My question was loaded, I'll grant you that, but it wouldn't take much for Beck to mobilize large groups of people to various ends. If he can get hundreds of thousands to the Mall, I'm sure he can get large groups to do other things. If he wanted to orchestrate various forms of obstructionism to the "Marxist agenda," do you think he could pull it off? And despite what people think of his stance with the Tea Party, who's to say he isn't galvanizing them into an angry, "ain't gonna take it anymore" frenzy?
Oh, and there is this little bit from him as he recapped the rally on his show on August 30: "I believe we're approaching a last call, all aboard. I had nightmares last night, because I felt maybe I wasn't clear enough. The message I feel I'm supposed to give you is get behind the shield of God."
