just how crazy is Beck?

Glenn "McCarthy" Beck tries to link Communists to Obama, but they don't cooperate

Of course, any sane repug uses the "socialism" tag on Obama for shock and smear value, but they don't actually believe it. No one who has even a passing familiarity with socialism would believe it.

So, Beck actually trying to get a member of the Communist Party to say that Obama is one of them is beyond the beyond. Unless he really is as crazy as he acts, he had to know that an actual communist wouldn't say Obama was one of them because it is obviously untrue. Is he just trying to say that all communists are liars so we can't believe when Obama says that he isn't one? I really can't wrap my head around whatever twisted "logic" he was using...

It's funny also because any part of the world that is actually familiar with left wing politics knows that Obama is at best a centrist. A good portion of the world is far more liberal that Obama - or at least his current policies.
