In reply to the discussion: 'BECKSTABBED!': Glenn Beck Supporters Turn on Him After 'Operation American Spring' Failure [View all]uhnope
(6,419 posts)22. This article misses the point about the dismal failure of OAS re Beck, Limbaugh
Beck, Limbaugh, Mark Levin etc only endorse and promote events that they are paid to promote. The main reason OAS failed was because it wasn't funded and organized by any of the right wing groups like Americans for Prosperity or FreedomWorks. That's why Sarah Palin didn't show up at this thing.
The good news is that it shows how little power the lunatic fringe has without the big money of DeVos, Koch, Scaife, Walton, ALEC, AFC.
The bad news is it shows how much power the big money RW puppetmasters have
