A pro-Newt Gingrich caller -- Ray -- found that out the hard when when he called into Beck's radio show on Thursday in an effort to set Beck straight on the 2012 presidential candidate, and to accuse Beck of supporting Romney. Adding to the whole scenario: Ray said he was a huge Beck fan and had every one of Beck's books, but was now considering throwing them all away. That's all Beck needed to hear.
Beck quickly reminded Ray that he's actually a Santorum fan, since he's come out several times and said Santorum is the candidate he'd vote for. He then let it fly.
