Attack of the Theocrats!
I would sure like Beck to have to meet the family members of the 14 people who have died so far in the hurricane, face to face, and explain to them how this is a "blessing" from God. I'm sure they'd like to hear that, if their loved ones had only stockpiled food, those trees wouldn't have fallen on them.
But what do we expect? This is a guy who has guzzled down the Mormon koolaid, despite all the scientific evidence that its founder Joseph "Myth" was a complete and utter fraud. He wears magically protective underwear, thinks he has been ordained with supernatural healing and cursing powers, carries a tiny vial of consecrated oil on his keychain, believes that polygamy is an eternal principle that will be practiced in the afterlife, that God lives on a planet near a star named Kolob, that to join him there he will need to give him secret passwords and handshakes, that Native Americans are descendents of Jews who sailed in a boat to the New World around 600 BCE, that God cursed later them with a reddish skin for their wickedness, etc., etc. Sigh....
