Lindsey Graham Takes Another Swipe At Glenn Beck (VIDEO)

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) took another swipe at Glenn Beck on Sunday, this time during an appearance on the Fox News host's own network.

The South Carolina Republican said he didn't think that the temperamental star -- who has used his 5 P.M. perch at Fox to routinely vilify members of the Obama administration as corrupt, closeted Communists -- was necessarily bad for the country. But Graham didn't mince words or, for that matter, duck the question when he was asked why he said Beck was "aligned with cynicism" at a conference earlier in the week.

"I'm not saying he's bad for America," the senator said on Fox News Sunday. "You have got the freedom to watch him if you choose. He did a pretty good job on ACORN. What I am saying is he doesn't represent the Republican Party."

"You can listen to him if like," Graham added. "I choose not to because quite frankly I don't want to go down the road of thinking our best days are behind us. We need to act decisively. People are generally upset with how much money we are being spending up here. But at the end of the day when a person says he represents conservatism and that the country is better off with Barack Obama than John McCain, that sort of ends the debate for me as to how much more I'm going to listen. So, he has the right to say what he wants to say. In my view it is not the kind of political analysis that I buy into."
