Naturally at the largest poker site, you're bound to see more bad beats but I'd say it's proportional as anywhere else. I prefer Full Tilt, and contrary to what Carol's said, I've found play there to be considerably tighter if you're playing anything other than Micro Limits (where you'll see donks at ANY site, at the micro limits).

But, yes, there are plenty of donkeys as well poker super stars. especially in the huge MTTs! Many of these players are really just playing craps, not poker, and are hoping to get lucky on a few hands and take down a big prize for a minimal buy-in poker super stars. If you play any of the cash games (no limit, in particular), you'll find the competition is far better than what you're getting in the MTTs. Of course better players tend to be easier to put on a range of hands and may be more likely to fold to an aggressive bet, but if you're going to play in that game, don't think the players there are putty. Personally I prefer the cash games, but do play my share of small tourneys (especially if I'm multi-tabling). I prefer to play in the mornings (I'm in the Eastern time zone) as I often find myself playing against weaker European (especially German) competition. BTW, before you categorize all players there as donkeys, know that both Daniel Negraneau and Gus Hansen are in the red there (as far as tourneys go, anyway)! So some of the players must be pretty accomplished.
