Guest Of CNN’s Beck: Watching Someone Murder The Clintons Would Be ‘Great’

Last night on CNN Headline News, host Glenn Beck and former GOP consultant and radio host Michael Graham discussed a new video of President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) spoofing the final episode of the Sopranos.

During the conversation, Graham asked Beck if he wanted to see the Clintons murdered in the video. “(S)eriously, Glenn, didn’t you at one point want to see, like, Paulie Walnuts or someone come in and just whack them both right there. Wouldn’t that have been great?” Beck responded with a smile, “No, I did not want to see that.” Graham said, “C’mon. … I wanted that.”

Though Beck said he didn’t want to see the Clintons murdered on video, he smiled at the comments and failed to reprimand his guest or end the interview. Moreover, Michael Graham has a history of offensive remarks. In 2005, he was fired from Washington radio station WMAL-AM after he labeled Islam “a terrorist organization” on the air.

Previously, Beck has called Hillary Clinton “the stereotypical bitch” and said her “stereotypical, nagging” voice is “like an icepick” in my ear.

2. What's with all the strikeouts?

And, regarding the story...

I can think of a former presidential candidate I'd really like to see whacked, too. Who's voice is an icepick in my ear. Who's administration is ruining my country and my people.

Think the Secret Service will be showing up on my doorstep tomorrow?

7. How likely is CNN to take the high road?

I'm ever the optimist... (sadly shaking my head)

9. Okay, we have to target his advertisers because CNN obviously doesn't give a flying F***.

10. Isn't that actually illegal?

Particularly to say that about the President, even a former President? I thought you can't even joke about it.

12. Taking bets: Will this guy get away with advocating assassination?

13. Why not? Jesse Helms did.

Simply because, well, he's Jesse Helms. Good ol' bwahs with power are allowed to get away with anything.

Note to mods: this is sarcasm, satire, and mockery, in case you hadn't guessed
