First off, I think that being sensitive to words makes one vulnerable, and announcing it is worse. Especially if those wielding such words look like the all-grown-up version of your neighborhood bully, and that's how I've always thought of Beck. The taunting big mouth, all swagger and little substance.

He likely earns lots of money for Fox because of the spectacle. Sure, some people are dim enough, or wannabe bullies themselves, but I'd guess a significant number of those who watch him just wonder what stupid stuff is gonna come out of his mouth next. He's more of a joke, like a cable network version of a local access whacko, but viewers is viewers, and no one expects truth from Fox.
