[...] Former Bush speechwriter Peter Wehner: “[T]he role Glenn Beck is playing is harmful in its totality.” In a post for Commentary magazine’s Contentions blog, Peter Wehner, a regular contributor to the blog, stated, “Only recently have I watched portions of [Beck's] television program, as well as interviews with him, and heard parts of his radio program. And what I’ve seen should worry the conservative movement.” He later added, “Some of Beck’s statements — for example, that President Obama has a ‘deep-seated hatred for white people‘ — are quite unfair and not good for the country.” Wehner also stated, “And certainly some of the things Beck has done on his program are fine and appropriate. But the role Glenn Beck is playing is harmful in its totality.” [commentarymagazine.com, 9/21/09] [...]

[...] Peter Wehner believes that spells trouble for conservatives: I say that because he seems to be more of a populist and libertarian than a conservative, more of a Perotista than a Reaganite. His interest in conspiracy theories is disquieting, as is his admiration for Ron Paul and his charges of American “imperialism.” (He is now talking about pulling troops out of Afghanistan, South Korea, Germany, and elsewhere.) Some of Beck’s statements—for example, that President Obama has a “deep-seated hatred for white people”–are quite unfair and not good for the country. His argument that there is very little difference between the two parties is silly, and his contempt for parties in general is anti-Burkean (Burke himself was a great champion of political parties). And then there is his sometimes bizarre behavior, from tearing up to screaming at his callers. Beck seems to be a roiling mix of fear, resentment, and anger—the antithesis of Ronald Reagan. [...]
