Just in case there was any doubt about what he was implying the day before, Glenn Beck yesterday cleared things up and removed all doubt about the meaning of his garbled rant about administration radicals who advocated violence:
Beck: You see, what they've done is they've radicalized The Man. These people are in the center, but who's down here? They know that these people always lose -- because they experienced it. The crazy teabaggers in the streets.
Why would a government continue to poke you, and poke you, and poke you, and poke you? Why would they say these things? Why have these people said these things about good Americans? Because they need to separate these people from these people.
They know exactly how you feel when the president of the United States says that. ... These guys remember. When these guys said, 'These crazy dope-smoking hippies,' they knew how it felt. They knew and it drove them nuts, and it drove some of them -- it drove this guy and this guy -- to start throwing bombs!
They're counting on it. The Man made them do it. And they learned that once they threw a bomb, they were done. Martin Luther King changed the world without a single act of violence. Gandhi was right in many ways.
This might be the most dangerous monologue I've ever done, because I am telling you now: They need you to be violent. They are begging for it! You are being set up! Do not give them what they want.
The rest of the rant is an ass-covering plea for non-violence -- a lame attempt to cover the fact that he's spent the past year using violent rhetoric to whip people into a state of hysterical paranoia.
And best of all, what Beck's doing here is providing right-wingers with a ready-made excuse for the violence when it does break out: Why, this was what the liberals were planning all along! It's their fault! Even if they are the victims of it.
Wottapiecawork.
Why do I get the feeling Beck has used the words "she was asking for it"?
Her?

beck is one fucked up jackass.
he really should be in an institution for
criminally intentional insane.
beck and his ilk have been using fear tactics and implying that their sheep better do something OR ELSE. The steps to the current violance leads straight to their door. Sedition? They have been yelling fire in a crowed theater for too long.
No doubt
"They need you to be violent. They are begging for it!"= She was asking for it.

This is exactly what I thought of.
"....I wouldn't have to hit you"
"Why is there so much domestic violence? 'Cause women just won't listen"
It's the irrefutable logic of the wife beater. Beck knows his audience .....fuckin'assholes.
To some degree it matters who's in office, but it matters more how much pressure they're under from the public. - Noam Chomsky
"You see, what they've done is they've radicalized The Man. These people are in the center, but who's down here?"
Obama is The Man.
Beck needs to see a psychiatrist.
a lobotomist.
Oh, wait, I forgot. Beckie-weckie doesn't have a brain. The Wizard Of Ailes hasn't found one for him yet.
not even a professional could follow his train of thought. And I use that term VERY loosely..
In a way, I think this is him trying to cover his ass, but trying to figure out what the hell he's talking about is damn near impossible.
I could be wrong, I have been before, but it would seem to me that before anyone called these baggers "crazy" they were the ones showing up places with their incendiary signs and guns. Idiot.
of a studio.
Chris Matthews just called Beck a "jerk". He should have just called him an asshole and get it over with.
An unmitigated asshole, playing a raving lunatic and making millions of dollars.
I would be immediately fired after calling Beckie an asshole. Unless it was on HBO or Showtime :-) But man it would be great somebody did. Where's Seth MacFarlane?
NOBODY 2012
This guy is really losing it as he continues to demonstrate what it means to "use God's name in vain."
Rush was saying on his show that liberals are responsible for all the violence over the years.
These slugs will label Hitler a liberal, Tim McVeigh liveral, Rudolf the bomber - liberal even the uni-bomber was a liberal.
See the rule is perfect.
"I know that there are people who do not love their fellow
man, and I hate people like that! " ~ Tom Lehrer (1928 - )
He killed an IRS worker and yet the GOP sympathizes with this pilot terrorist. AMAZING.
They call Joe Stark a crazy liberal radical and they empathize with him so therefore the nice kindly Rethugs empathize with the bad Democrats and yet the mean old Democrats accuse them of having no empathy for others.
something like that. It's hard to try and keep the right wing crazy straight.
All this makes me wonder if there isn't some Patriot Act 2.0 that the neocons are just itching to put in place that is just waiting for the next Pearl Harbor to cram down our throats (so to speak).
I must say though, for the first time in decades there is a gun in my house.
Just in case...
where the hell were these nutcases when that was passed - nary a peep - of course they were dominated by the only other emotion (besides anger) that they seem to have - palpable fear. If anything should have gotten these creeps motivated it should have been that...and so it just makes me feel they are a tad bit disingenuous.
They were waiting for a D to be elected. They don't want to make trouble for a republican.
"I know that there are people who do not love their fellow

I don't believe they're aware of the hypocrisy of their "arguments". Heck, I'm not even sure they fully understand their arguments.
If you watched the House vote on CSPAN Sunday, it was apparent that many of "their" congressman hadn't even read the freaking bill. However, it seemed like many of the democrats hadn't read it either. It was really just talking point after talking point. I was expecting more direct reference to the bill. Apparently our congressman don't get paid enough to discuss the actual content of the bill. No no, thats left up to the committee.
This strikes me as absurd!
Jakes,
The rightards don't give a shit about the patriot act because they think (and I use the term loosely) that it doesn't apply to them. It's for terrorists, not patriots. Thus the name.
"Someday somebody related to some of these sufferers, these victims, these collaterally damaged souls, may try to kill you. And I have to tell you, I think you’ll have it coming." - Christopher Cooper
Whatever they're being accused of is consumed, ruminated(spun) if necessary and defecated straight out of their asses.
Their homeworld was a place called Earth, located in an uninteresting part of the galaxy. They had an expression: pride goeth before a fall. Their pride was their undoing. I know. I was there....They did not listen, of course. Arrogant men never do.

GREATEST. TROLL. EVER.
aside from the terror and fear they're selling, I don't get who is really suffering and from what? I mean, if this is all the result of 8 years of the right rule, shouldn't they welcome the change too, since things went downhill during that time? And if not, what is so horrible that the left is doing? I mean, I get the teabaggers want less taxes, and that will put all of them in the hole, but what is all the panic over?

"I know that there are people who do not love their fellow
man, and I hate people like that! " ~ Tom Lehrer (1928 - )
does Beck actually believe this shit, or is he just preemptively blaming the inevitable violence on Obama as a defense mechanism? I mean, how much of his drivel is of his own devising, and how much of it comes from Ailes/Dick Armey/Howard Hunt's ghost?
with all the nazi/hitler references Beck keeps spewing about, I had to read a bit on what the man was actually saying.
"The doom of a nation can be averted only by a storm of flowing passion, but only those who are passionate themselves can arouse passion in others. "
"The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it. "
"Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruction. "
Someone's got a mentor.
between Becks rants and those of Hitler are very eerily disturbing. It's as if he goes home each night and reads some Mein Kampf or watches some of Hitlers speeches to prepare for his next days psycho rant. The logic is about the same as well as the targets.
"Don't try to stop me, smee..."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUx8NEbsIa8
Oh golly, Beck says something stupid and insane, it must be one of those days that end in a 'y'. Yawn.
1] Create a toxic environment.
2] Blame the victim for creating the toxic environment.

"I know that there are people who do not love their fellow

....he loved the smell of fear in the morning.
“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
This is as old as Caesar and probably older. This is what the Church does: Create a "reality" in which sex is evil, women are evil, and guilt is de rigueur; enforce the "reality" for a few centuries with torture, mandatory ignorance, and overwhelming financial pressure, and it takes on a life of its own ... and the worst-victimized are the most ardent supporters.
This translates just about perfectly to the Republican / Teabagger way of operating today.

1) Exhibit and personify all the behaviors of being co-dependent on the toxic environment including denial.
2) Spin yourself as the poor, widdle, hapless victim/martyr "moderates" and "centrists" of both the partisan progressive pissed off left and the partisan regressive pissed off right.
3) Stand on a soapbox and embrace your inner Rodney King and bleat, "Can't we all just get along?!?"
4) Feign shock and surprise when the voters flush Rahmocrats out of office and straight down the Potomac so that they can go right back to winning LifeTime Movie Network's "Jellyfish of The Year" award instead of elections and all because perpetually playing Wendy to the GOP's Jack Torrance is their "dope", their "fix", their "buzz" and they derive more from that endless "Victim/Martyr/Villain Rotation" role of classic co-dependency than doing anything worth a damn ...
5) Repeat like clockwork year after year until 30 years have rolled by, you realize the mistake, and yet fully intend to devote yourself to another 30 years because it's all you've ever done, has become the devil you know, and the idea of pulling a Rosa Parks and empowering yourself seems like sooooo much work that its much easier to keep playing the hapless "Victim/Martyr/Villain Rotation" game in the hopes that it'll eventually pay off once a plurality of voters have been manipulated into felling sorry for you enough to vote your wretched and pathetic Rahmocrat asses back into majority power.
It's embarrassing.
The party of the liberal lion Ted Kennedy has used the above steps over and over for decades to become the party of Rahm Emmanuel and the DLC: a useless pathetic shower of cowardly lions. They deserve everything they're getting right now and I don't feel sorry for 'em one bit. When they threw the public option to the back of the bus, my give-a-damn was busted into a million bits right alongside the hope and change ...
Here's a thought....
Stop posting this garbage. Stop fanning the flames of conflict, stop making this out be Liberals v/ Conservatives, Republicans v. Democrats. There is only as much as conflict as we decide there is.
If we ignore him; if we turn off our idiot boxes, Glenn Beck and every nut like him will fade away.
if Glenn Beck shits in the woods and there's nobody watching, we still smell it.
Ignoring Beck will solve these violence problems?
You can't be this fucking simple.
I want him to stay on TV. When he finally has his seizure and keels over, it will be cable gold and make Youtube history.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
These lawless pyscho righties will swear this sick fucker Beck is still alive somewhere, ordering them to continue causing mayhem...just like Osama.
they'll blame his untimely death on Keith Olbermann.
they can blame it on me if they want to.
turn off this nut and only the nuts will watch him. The rest of us can ignore him while he raises the level of hate. If I'm attacked by one of these nuts, it would be nice to know why and what to watch for.
its a natural trait. I actually like to know what the whackjobs are on about, its a good thing, but unfortunately, good people have to waste a lot of time and brain cells watching them, i just cant afford either at this juncture
So to David N. et al.: THANK YOU!

How's that working out with Limbaugh?
That would work if Beck was an obscure blogger with a following of a few dozen fellow nutcases.
Instead he is watched on Fox News and listened to on his radio program by millions of people. His rhetoric is out there and making an impact whether those of us he is targetting are paying attention or not. Thanks to Dave and others pointing out his insanity, the rest of us can at least not be taken by surprise when his fellow lunatics start to act on his inflammatory propoganda.
And who knows, maybe a few of the least deranged of his followers will see his words outside the context of the fevered swamp of his show and realize just how noxious they are and turn away from him. Or maybe more of the "undecided" voters will see how dangerous Beck, Limbaugh and the rest Fox News and right-wing talk radio crowd are and then notice which politicians are cozying up to these scumbags.
Yeah that is what Pre-war Eruope tried to do with Hitler.
Take a deep breath and step away from the TV.
There is no conflict. Its all bullshit. There is only CONTROL. Those who have it, wish to keep it. They do it using a very simple tried and true "Divide and Conquer' strategy. Glenn Beck is not the problem; (and he's certainly not Hitler!) he's a prop. He doesn't go off on these ridiculous rants despite our pleas for control and moderation; he does it BECAUSE we beg and plead for moderation.
The more we get ourselves wrapped-up in this non-conflict, the more we defeat ourselves. Republicans are no more the source of this problem than Democrats are terrorists. These are ridiculous assertions designed to get us worked-up into a frenzy. As long as we keep fighting amongst ourselves, do you honestly think that those in control care which 'side" we support? There are no sides, problems are not B&W, Repub v Dem, Liberal v. Cons,but many shades of grey. Ignore him. Ignore the soundbites and turn off the TV.
ilk are doing. Trying to blame us if things happen that they have inspired. You don't fool me with your pretend concern. We must really be getting to the opposition. So many sleeper cells activated here lately.
One huge problem is that the real idiots won't turn off their idiot boxes; they will listen and obey the commands they're given, and the hints, and the winks, and the subtexts.
Bringing this crap out into the light in a timely manner is possible for the first time in history, and light is a prerequisite for fighting this kind of evil.
Here's a thought: If we ignore him, and pretend he really isn't stirring up hatred and anger, just imagine how blissfully ignorant everyone else will be -- until the raging nutcases break down our doors and blow up our federal office buildings and shoot our leaders.
And then the blissfully ignorant like yourself will wonder how this could have happened.
..issued another one of his "we-will-smite-you" warnings today. You just know the Republicans are hoping and praying we get attacked again just before November.
Osama: "We'll smite you!"
Beck: "all the problems in the world are because of liberals"
McCain: "The republicans wil not work with the democrats on anything this year"

A clever cockroach......
"Ronald Reagan is DEAD! His policies live on but we're doing something about THAT!"
Now you're being insulting to cockroaches!
Unclever little cur Mr. Dreck better hope and pray that nothing goes down.
On the contrary, Beck is instigating violence.
"Why would a government continue to poke you, and poke you, and poke you, and poke you? Why would they say these things? Why have these people said these things about good Americans?"
He's saying to his listeners that the govt is contiually taunting them, which begs the question "what are you going to do about it?"
He has covered his ass, simply by stating the FACT that his opponents started this whole mess. This absolves his minions of responsibility (in their little minds) and plays on their patriotism ("good americans") and gives them justification. But I doubt the "Glenn Beck" defense will carry much weight in court.
No this man is not dumb, or crazy. He is very smart. And we would do well to take him very seriously. Thanks David.

Def.: Delusional disorder, previously called paranoid disorder, is a type of serious mental illness called a "psychosis" in which a person cannot tell what is real from what is imagined. The main feature of this disorder is the presence of delusions, which are unshakable beliefs in something untrue. People with delusional disorder experience non-bizarre delusions, which involve situations that could occur in real life, such as being followed, poisoned, deceived, conspired against, or loved from a distance. These delusions usually involve the misinterpretation of perceptions or experiences. In reality, however, the situations are either not true at all or highly exaggerated.

Get help Glenn. Roger Ailes is exploiting your illness for his gains.
You should hear him tonight. He is walking across the river on stones. He was at first carefully wording his sentences when he said no tea party person has ever caused any violence at the tea parties. Little caveat there.
Then he went on to attack Matthews and make snide comments about no one watching his show. Next he talked about Pelosi walking up the steps Sunday carrying that gavel. But Beck called it "a big hammer" and said she seemed to be taunting the crowd with it.
So bottom line, the progressives in the democratic party are the real problem and just take his word for it. Buy Gold.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Glenn Beck said:

and all that poking. Eww.
If he does, he's clever. If he doesn't, he's insane.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
I guess they just totally dropped the whole "Personal Responsibility" talking point.
He's providing an excuse he believes will work in case one of his followers does do something awful. Kind of like the twinkie excuse only it's the becky excuse.

is repellent. The few times that I've seen him (in clips on line, because my teevee doesn't go to Fox News) I've been stunned by how repulsive his whole spiel is. To believe any of the dreck he vomits up on air, you'd have to WANT the crap to be true, and that's very, very troubling.

Study the symptoms not the virus...
Every time some one ask a Republican about the violence we get a bunch of crap then they all say the same thing. The "media" and everyone else needs to quit talking about this and focus on the health care...
This is scaring the shit out of them. After all the gains they made whipping these people up is going down the drain. They have no one to blame but themselves. They created the monster now they need to destroy it.
is intended to be a factual statement
I said almost the exact same thing on an earlier thread today. The repubs like getting the tea party votes, they just don't want to be a part of them any longer. Good luck to them with that.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
So I guess this means..... that republicans are weak willed, nancy pants that cannot control their own behavior? You mean the boy can't pull up their own big boy pants and deal with it? Really?
Does beck really want to go down that road?
Does that mean the crazies should be jailed for our protection? Since they can't control themselves, maybe they need martial law? Curfews?
Since Democrats controlled ourselves during 8 long years of bush, and God knows, we were provoked(2000 election of bush, 9/11, Iraq wars etc.) then maybe we are the better, stronger party.

I don't know if anyone's posted this here yet, but Glenn Beck is the Joker.
Glenn Beck is a mentally ill man. He needs treatment, not enabling on national television.
Everyone is equally entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Wasn't that once self evident?
He's had treament as a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, as well as suffering from ADHD, which probably accounts for his inability to complete one single class even in something as underwater basketweavy as 'Early Christology' at Yale before dropping out. Therapy has obviously had no effect.
I suspect his wife Tania could use some brochures for victims of domestic abuse, since her husband has that self-pitying 'she provoked me' attitude common to wifebeaters and teabagging Republicans.
Even sadder, so could just about anyone subjected to his show. Takes a special sort of perverse masochism to enjoy this.
Nothing shameful about being an addict or having ADHD. A lot of very successful and brilliant people have ADHD. I don't know what else he has, but I imagine there's more.
Somewhere along the line, someone saw a chance to exploit Beck. Enable his every delusion. Let him shout it from a national rooftop. Make money off of the mass insanity that ensues.
Therapy requires not just a good doctor, but a patient genuinely willing to work with unpleasant sides of himself. Patients often run away when it gets too hard to deal with. I understand the impulse. I've learned many an unpleasant fact about myself, but learning and accepting are the first steps to healing. And there's a much brighter day on the other side of therapy, if you're willing to really dig in and do it.
If everyone whose therapy supposedly didn't work were given a television show to rant about how they saw the world, just imagine the results.
Everyone is equally entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Wasn't that once self evident?

about being a recovering addict or receiving treatment for ADHD. All deserved kudos to those who wrestle with their demons in good faith.
The response was to a poster who said he needed treatment. He's had treatment. It obviously hasn't worked. Then again, Glen Beck is making a fortune off his insanity - bad for him, bad for the country. Good for his pocket and those of his enablers.
I suppose I should pity Beck, as he at least has some medical reason for acting the way he does, unlike all too many who indulge in simliar abusive behaviour because they're just evil bastards. But to be honest - as someone who's been on the receiving end of that sort of abuse, I don't really care if Beck is a sad pathetic loser without enough willpower to tackle his mental illness or if he's just another evil bastard who enjoys inflicting pain and suffering. The end result is the same - another black eye, another broken bone, another gullible idiot convinced shooting complete strangers is justified.
I don't care what Beck's problem is. I don't care if he self-destructs. I care about the damage Beck is doing to the country, and to what used to be considered responsible journalism. Like any other battered victim - I just want him to stop.
'Twas my post to which you responded, Madame Mouse. And I didn't think you were suggesting there was shame involved. I understood what you were saying.
And I know he's had treatment. My guess is he ran away when his doctors told him something about himself he didn't want to hear. I can't know that by any means, but it sure wouldn't surprise me.
To be clear, I wasn't trying to induce any pity for him either. I don't pity him. Instead of getting help for his problems, he's being paid to broadcast them, and getting paid very well. Fuck him.
Funny though, no one seemed to pick up on the Beck = The Joker part of the thread. It's actually frightening to listen to the clips on the page I linked to. He really does act and sound like the Joker (only the Joker seems more rational).
Everyone is equally entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Wasn't that once self evident?
But I certainly wouldn't give an alcoholic or a drug addict the keys to anything important. Then there was Bush..
I remember telling people back in 2000 that I genuinely did not care if George Bush did a whole mess of drugs way back when. If he conquered his addictions, more power to him, and it's a cheap shot to use it for political gain.
Whether he's still struggling with it without proper help, however, is a whole different story. And clearly, Bush treatment involved paying lip service to turning his life over to a deity, and thinking he was "cured." Which, to my mind, is just trading one addiction for another.
Addicts who understand the nature of their problem and who have gained control over it (and who continue in therapy work) can be as successful as anyone else. It's the ones in denial we need to watch out for.
Everyone is equally entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Wasn't that once self evident?
Sorry if that makes me a bad person, but I'm just being honest.
When I was single I wouldn't even consider a girl that had been in a 12 step. Mean? Maybe. But I don't need that drama in my life. So I certainly wouldn't knowingly vote for someone who is an addict..
Something tells me that wasn't Yale he went to before he dropped out.
The Bush family alone tarnishes their reputation.
Meh. The Ivies are kind of moderate, if you average them out politically.

That reminds of a time long ago in a state far away when I was helping a couple with their two little boys, ages 3.5 and 18 months. One day I heard screams and went outside to the sandbox. The older one was dumping sand on the little one's head and patting it down with a toy shovel. The little one was crying. Their mother and I stood there looking at the older one, and he smiled sweetly and said, "He LIKES it! See?"
I have always said I thought Beck really wanted to be a tv preacher. Well, I might have been on to something. He is starting a tour called the Glenn Beck Revival Tour. He is telling people to bring lots of pencils and paper as he is going to be teaching them things about their country. The first one is in Orlando (why must this stuff always come to Florida?) So far there are tickets still available. I hope there will be many still available the night the Revival begins.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
I bet we don't see his little traveling tent revival coming to California, Oregon or Washington. Although Southern and Central California harbors quite few right-wing nutcases, so who knows, maybe he will...
Religion will be the downfall of Humanity.
By harnasing the electricity that would result from King and Ghandi turning in their graves every time Beck mentions their names.

Beck and all these uneducated Reslugs, on Faux Noise, have a lot of screws loose, besides being crooks.
Tonight he found a man to be his guest who just might be more batshit crazy than beck. He seems to have fewer and fewer guests on lately. I wonder if people have decided they don't want to be seen on his show. If they have, it's a smart move.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
He said we provoked him as he held the gun on us. He wanted us to accept Joseph Smith as Christ. Hell, we don't even know what a Joe Smith is. That's when he pulled the trigger and the whole thing went bad. He still blames us for the "back fire". He should have cleaned his own gun. Naw, Beck doesn't talk anymore. He blew most of his face off. But you can tell he's nuts because he still thinks we provoked him by not accepting Joseph Smith as Christ. He's weird man. Great Karma though. We know God loves us after that. Beck? God don't care for him, much, at all. Just look at him. He's a total mess.
Beck is full of shit. He is trying to provide a ready-made excuse of "Obama made me do it!" in case any teabagger loon turns violent.
what we have with Beck is an uneducated DJ, recovering alcoholic and drug addict diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder that tells his listeners/followers one week to run from your social justice teaching churchs and then a week later starts "testifying" about the need for religious scriptures, prayers, miracales and the finger of god because our country is in real trouble. pray to god it is your only chance sort of images.
revolution vs. evolution, socialism, radical progressives are evil, the founding fathers picking up your weapons images.
and this is all supported by media whores that will broadcast all of this for the money it brings to their pockets.
I mean really, a guy like that telling people to "leave your church, I am a man of god, enemies are out to harm us for our wisdom and belief in what I say."
What could possibly go wrong with that?
In other news, local grocery stores are experiencing a Kool-Aid shortage.
Why is this madman allowed on television? It's just like he's saying, "She asked for it"
This is incitement to violence, sponsored by Fux Noise.

These insane rightarded Christians are spewing the same ideologies of "Look what you made me do" after the thug rapes or beats someone.
Republican Christianics: Blame the victim.
Fucking insane cultists.
What the hell does Christianity have to do with Beck and what he's doing ? Geeeese , give it a break .
Insanity , it is what it is , there is no understanding it .
his listeners would overwhelmingly claim? Muslim? Hindu? And which faith do you suppose they would likewise claim is really enshrined in the constitution?
Hasa Diga Eebowai
Especially now that Beck has directed them not to go if they feel any socialism is involved. Herding idiots and misfits. What a good career move that was for him.
...christianity has everything to do with it.
Religion will be the downfall of Humanity.

Because you omitted the second "e" in "piece," I read this as: wotta pie cash it.
Like, wow, what a pie!
If Glenn Beck is immunizing himself from blame by a last-minute appeal for peace (for paranoid reasons, of course), it is because Roger Ailes and the mandarins of Rupert's Flying Monkey Circus think one of their zombies is getting ready to shoot somebody.
If it happens, Beck will point to this lame appeal as proof that he hasn't spent the vast majority of his time fomenting politically motivated violence.
Someone to take advice from? Did Beck actually quote him or is this the gist of his blather. I can't watch him at all, so this is a serious question.
I wish the CIA would do it's thing once more .
Insanity , it is what it is , there is no understanding it .
It's not my fault that I raped that [insert victim type here], it's their fault for being so damned hot.
It's not my fault for running over that guy in the wheelchair, he shouldn't have been on the sidewalk that time of day.
It's not my fault I knocked her teeth out, she shouldn't have talked back.
Ad infinitum, Ad nauseam
I forget his name , damn it , but one of the more unlikeable Repug weasels just held a little press get together saying his life has been threatened , probably completely made it up , trying to take the heat of the Repugs and their band of dumb asses and thugs .
Insanity , it is what it is , there is no understanding it .
about Eric Cantor claiming his office was shot at. Is that the one? In the comments it turns out that the police are saying the "bullet" was falling as it hit the window and cracked it, not going through. Which sounds like maybe a BB gun or a sling shot. But of course the little weasel wants to call that just the same as a brick thrown through a window that smashes out all the glass and leaves a huge gouge in the desk it hits. Yeah as if that's the same effing thing. And knowing Cantor does anyone want to take any bets that it was one of his own aides that did it?
Remember when conservaturds called KO a coward after clearing the building he works in when they got a big in the mail filled with white powder?
limpball's box of powdered donuts went to the wrong address.

to "blowback". Incitement to violence against even the most basic of human rights deserves some karmic balance. Glenn Beck would do well to ease op greatly upon his rabble-rousing, lest he reap what he sows.
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
-- John F. Kennedy
Well, he's probably violated the Brandenburg v. Ohio incitement law. Anyone want to sue him on that?
blaming the results of his inciting violence against the US government on Obama. What a useless piece of America hating sh*t this loser clown is!
It doesn't make any sense to me, one way or another.

it sounds like FOX News.

... Maybe Beck loves Latinos after all ...?
Nah ...
I'm Boycotting NewsCorp! Heres what not to buy: http://www.cjr.org/resources/index.php?c=news...
Fake noise is inciting domestic terrorism against our own govmt by allowing this goofball (Beck) to rant and rave about violence against people he doesn't agree with.
Am I wrong?
