I think the word you are looking for is "demagogue," though one would hope "demagog" enters the lexicon at some point. I think it would make a right proper name for a Dungeons & Dragons creature.
Interestingly, an Op-Ed piece in the New York Times speaks rather glowingly of Beck, most particularly with reference to the influence that Dr. King’s niece, Alveda, has had on Beck.
I might note: if what this writer indicates is so, pretty much the entire interpretation by David of the Beck and Palin march is simply wrong.

Agreed, as far as the twisted truths a demagog such as Beck is prone to, this isn't a show stopper by any means.
Why doesn't my on line dictionary recognize the term "demagog"?
