Poll question: POLL:How Dangerous is Glenn Beck to America and President Obama?
Edited on Sun Aug-09-09 04:18 PM by indimuse
This is unacceptable behavior! Inciting violence and riots daily, from his MS PLATFORM!

Please Watch:

When Is Enough Enough? Beck's Rabid Hate Speech On Fox News
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL5tjGK-x-g

((REMEMBER THIS ONE???)))

Treasonous Glenn Beck and Michael Scheuer WANT and WISH For Another Terrorist Attack in the U.S.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HtSb7kwTFE


Don Imus said some really stupid racist things about basketball players and he was fired! DAILY, (Radio show and on FAUX Spews) Glenn Beck incites violent
rebellion, compares President Obama and Dem's to Nazis...Marxist, Fascists, Communists..etc...The Traitor even called OUR President a RACIST!This goes on DAILY.. ALL DAY..Pretty much EVERYDAY!!!
-Pittsburgh Cop Killer Richard Poplawski Beck Fan - posting a link to Stormfront of a YouTube video featuring talk show host Glenn Beck talking about FEMA camps...
-Beck's 912 group was cited by several FL news reports for causing the caustic situation at the FL townhall meeting which led to violence.
-Let's not forget..HE threatened to poison the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi...


<snip>
As Media Matters has repeatedly documented, Beck has a history of violent rhetoric and fear mongering.

Beck: Obama has "exposed himself as a guy" with "a deep seated hatred for white people"

http://mediamatters.org/clips/200907280008

Beck imitates Obama pouring gasoline on "average American"; says: "President Obama, why don't you just set us on fire? ... We didn't vote to lose the Republic"

http://mediamatters.org/clips/200904090036

Beck portrays Obama, Democrats as vampires "going after the blood of our businesses," suggests "drive a stake through the heart of the bloodsuckers"

http://mediamatters.org/clips/200903300040

Beck denies responsibility for Pittsburgh shooting, adds that Obama "will slowly but surely take away your gun or take away your ability to shoot a gun, carry a gun"

1. Beck is wicked dangerous...but taking him off the air would make him MORE dangerous...
If you did that, he'd then be able to paint himself as a "martyr to the cause of 'free speech'". Beck probably already has that gamed-out.

3. He needs to be taken out by 'market forces'.
Kind of like Theodore Bilbo was. Taken out by reasonable people pulling the rug out from under him. If FOX had to defend what he said in court, they would be too cheap to pay the lawyers and would cut him loose.

4. Just found a great line about Bilbo in his Wikipedia entry:
"For years, a bronze statue of him stood in the rotunda of the Mississippi state Capitol building, but it was eventually relocated to a room where the Legislative Black Caucus often meets—where it is used as a coat rack."

2. He's only dangerous because people are so stupid.
And racist. And willing to believe anything anyone says as long as it aligns with their idiotic beliefs about religion.

9. Without responsible media regulation, America is doomed to ever more of this
Edited on Sun Aug-09-09 04:21 PM by depakid
Good luck with it- because it's going to take something serious- and likely quite violent (more likely a set of such things) for people to clue in and support the necessary reforms (which the FCC could be doing right now, if they're paying attention and documenting the facts).

So called "free" markets aren't going to make it happen outside of major regulatory changes.

11. Beck seems the kind of guy
Edited on Mon Aug-10-09 05:33 AM by AsahinaKimi
Who wants to see how far over the line he can step and get away with it. If he could insight violence
at a town hall so much the better. If he can get one right winger to throw a punch, or kick someone down, then he would enjoy it.

He joins the ranks of people like Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and the idiots at Fox News who would enjoy roasting marshmallows at a three alarm fire, so long as the property belonged to a democrat or liberal. Corporate shrills who are paid the big money to egg on the crazy nut bags to commit violence in the name of the Right wing movement.

12. Beck is a tough-talking PUNK. His courage is magnified
Edited on Mon Aug-10-09 01:55 PM by rustydog
by his safety in a studio far removed from those he rails against.
The chicken-shit would cry for mamma if he had a face to face confrontation with those he puts down in the safety of his studio.

A gutless punk with a loud mouth...
