The thing is: Beck and Limbaugh are the voices of the real opposition. There is no single Republican politician who has nearly the forum and demagoguing skills those guys have. So it would only be natural that the President goes for the big shots of his opponents. It may increase the number of listeners, and that may help the fringe in the short-term. In the long-run OTOH Beck and Limbaugh either suck their listeners into the loonie bin or drive them away (ideologically) with their far-fetched, insane rants.
