But I don't recall specifically a study of blog comments. Second Eric: Yes, the troll doesn't appear to realize that <i>my</i> point was that Beck is actually a great rhetorician (though I'd add unethical). I fail to see how my single point is "convoluted" or full of "meaningless words." Though I don't really see the quoted material as meaningless or convoluted either. Pardon me, I have to go. I think one of my left-wing socialist teachers is calling. — oh, wait, my mistake. I re-read his comment. The entire "left wing socialism thinking school system" is calling!

However, you do exactly what you accuse Beck of doing when you use terms like 'right-fringe' to make your convoluted points. You are an example of a student of a left wing socialism thinking school system that is dangerous to America. You believe you are credible but your words are meaningless..
