From Dave Neiwert:

Now, we’ve been saying for a long time that Beck is a right-wing populist; lately, a number of other observers have reached the same conclusion. So Beck has been making special note of being called a populist, and in his guest appearance on The O’Reilly Factor, he talked about it:

Beck: The second thing is, is that — you know, I was called — who was it that called me today, “a populist”? I’m not a populist! I’ve been saying this stuff when it was unpopular! I’ve got news for you: It’s still pretty unpopular!

O’Reilly actually had to clue him in on what populism really means. He honestly didn’t know.

No wonder Beck’s being touted as the new Rush Limbaugh.
