Demand that News Corp.'s major shareholders renounce Glenn Beck's violent rhetoric and its dangerous

[RamboLiberal]

On Sunday, July 18, unhinged ex-convict Byron Williams loaded his truck with guns and headed up a California highway with the intention of starting a revolution. If he hadn't been stopped by brave officers -- two of whom were wounded in the confrontation -- he could have carried out a plan to kill staff at progressive organizations, including the Tides Foundation.

Glenn Beck brags about "turning the light of day" on the Tides Foundation by constantly attacking it as part of a socialist conspiracy to destroy our government. The Tides Foundation isn't the shadowy political influence of Beck's fantasies -- it's a transparent organization known in the philanthropic community for doing good public service. Make no mistake: Beck's intention was to paint the Tides Foundation as a dangerous, increasingly powerful threat to freedom that must be stopped. And Williams set out to stop them.

It's time for those who profit from Beck to take responsibility for his incitements to violence. Beck's paranoid, dishonest and incendiary rhetoric doesn't just reflect on Beck -- it reflects on News Corp., Fox News' parent company, and its shareholders.

3. Newscorpse's Major Shareholders...

Dear Newscorp Shareholder,

Glenn Beck's violent and unhinged rhetoric has real-world consequences. Last week, a gunman set out to "start a revolution" by killing members of the Tides Foundation -- a philanthropic organization that Beck has frequently and falsely targeted as a threat to the country and a player in a sinister conspiracy.

As shareholders of Newscorp, you have a stake in the poisonous rhetoric Beck unleashes every day. You must speak out and renounce Beck's violent rhetoric and its potential consequences.
