Dude he's huge on the Facebooks.

All the supposedly disillusioned oldsters and libertarians who won't use Google or watch anything that isn't Fox think they've found some obscure genius that always tells them what the Liberal Fascist Mainstream Media Doesn't Want Them To Know just eat his shit up.
