I wish you used a classification algorithm that more naturally identified the tension between "wanting low-politics conversation" and comparing someone to Glenn Beck as a means of criticism.
Sorry. This was probably simply a terrible mistake born of unusual ignorance of pop culture and current politics. I meant to invoke "using questions as a means to plant accusations" and honestly didn't understand that he was radically unpopular. I've never watched anything by him.
Well, it's not that Beck is unpopular; it's that he's very popular with people of a particular political ideology.
In fairness, though, he is sort of the canonical example for "I'm just asking questions, here!". (And I wasn't one of those voting you down on this.)
I think referring to the phenomenon itself is enough to make one's point on the issue, and it's not necessary to identify a person who does it a lot.
