During the interview, Beck was at times was incoherent, meandering, silly, made irrelevant observations, and used strange facial expressions. In contrast, Kampia was calm and quoted fact after fact.

Oh, please. Glenn Beck was "strange" because he was caught in his own contradictions and wanted to look good for his conservative audience.
Beck is a recovering alcoholic and a self-pronounced libertarian who said in the interview that, as a libertarian, marijuana use is your own business, but if we have a nationalized health plan, it is his business because of the health risk.
Yes, there is a health risk, but I have not heard Beck rail against alcohol because of the same national health plan. Booze is still our number one killer drug.
He didn't make much sense, but I didn't think that the marijuana spokesman was much of a spokesman. He could have called out Beck right there on the spot for Beck's contradiction.
There is a point to the idea that everyone's bad habits become everyone else's business when we have national health care. There is resistance to the idea that we owe it to others to maintain ourselves as much as we can in good health through self-discipline.
But, as I have already said, that was a fig leaf to give Beck cover for his hypocrisy as a libertarian while he sought to make his convervative audience happy by being against the use of marijuana.
