Then I'll answer the question directly - NO. To be honest, if Glen Beck said the sky was blue, I'd look up.
Why? Because he's interested in ratings and conflict. The same way Limbaugh got caught. Limbaugh wasn't interested in the truth, he was interested in winning a fight - didn't matter if it was true or not.
And before you pidgeon-hole me, after all I'm relatively new here, I've used Limbaugh's website in the past to back up certain assertations because it was a LOT easier to collect certain information published about tax returns than to navigate through the IRS website.
When someone is right, it does me no good to say "no he isn't".
The Republican Party bears NO resemblance to the party by that name in my youth. (And, for the record, Reagan in 1980 was the first President I was old enough to vote for) The Democrats are closer to their ideals (whether or not I agree with them) but are also colossal sellouts.
As to revisit the idea that I'm not being able to bring myself to answer the question - the original question was 3 words: "Does it matter?"
Does what Glen Beck says matter? No. He's acting like a moonbat. Think of the difference in deliverance between Beck and when Walter cronkite delivered HIS opinions.
So then when the question of Beck's OPINION that Obama is surrounded by Marxosts was answered ("No"), you either changed or clarified the question to a point that ASSUMED Beck's OPINION was fact. The goalposts, as they say, were moved. This is despite the fact that you asked "What if he's right?"
It's like saying "John Doe says the sky will turn yellow and this will destroy the Blue Paint Industry - what if he's right?"
Now, perhaps if you named some of these "Marxists" or pointed to a Beck-sourced list, at least I could look for myself and THEN judge whether or not it 'matters' or if I agree with the assertation of how dangerous it is.

Anita Dunn...the WH says she was joking when she said how she admired Mao
Carol Browner....past member (although it is now hard to find..most references earased) of Socialist International...actually she was one of the leaders of the group.
Cecilia Munoz....a leader in the group La Raza, a very questionable chicano organization. If you you favor immigration reform, you may not like this group.
Robert Bauer....served as an attorney for Obama Brown Shirts (a somewhat interesting organization)
Dr James Hansen...who supports openly using global warming as a way to redistribute weatlh
Van Jones...of course one of the czars and we do not have to revisit this as he has resigned.
Now,that is a START, and simply a start...but if you need further I will be glad to supply.
You ignore YODA's intial question and again must go after Beck and Limbaugh...let me ask you something.....are you one who follows the verbage of Olberman or Maddow as two examples ?
I am curious about that since with all this talk about Fox only, it is as if they just came on the scene last week...and the issue to me is this....how can a President of the United States declare war on a news organization and
THAT FACT not be something of outrage ?
Did you hear the interview with Dunn on CNN where she was also asked about MSNBC and began to backpedal even on Fox. Remember, we have a SITTING President of the United States going after publicly a news source. Imagine with Bush's poor poll numbers and poor press had that WH taken the same tack !
