Glen Beck's Fox News advertisers - "Blood On Your Hands"

^ Nothing like dredging up old threads just to bash Jews. Oh wait, you just don't like the Zionists

"...Let my words echo in the depths of your soul: When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews--make no mistake about it."

MLK, Jr.

Anyone?....................

 

[rareboy]

You'd be wrong.

He'd be beyond totally wrong.

I don't even listen to either.

But I still know that Beck is one of the most evil influences in America today.

 

[ThreeCrows]

Yea.

He has described himself as “recovering alcoholic rodeo clown with limited education.”

Those words were his, not mine, he has also described himself as "real crazy" and "ready to explode."

Everything one could want from a [strike]schoolteacher[/strike], [strike]commentator[/strike] (not journalist), maverick. *wink*

 

[chance1]

You guys are the ones who make Glenn Beck more popular with your hateful spews

For guys who are so smart ................

 

[Edward Twinkletoes]

Anyone that can piss off that many lefists has to be doing something right.

Endorsed.

 

[chance1]

How do we do that?

rather than taking him to task in a reasoned way for his OCCASIONAL moments where he is deserving you rail at him in a hateful way for ALL of his actions, most of which are just simply disagreements with you and your POV

by doing so you prop him up by making him a martyr

same with Sarah Palin

w/o the unwarranted attention and vile response they would so much less powerful as their supporters would not be emboldened

Attack his ideas if they deserve to be

 

[Kulindahr]

Attack his ideas if they deserve to be

He has ideas?!

What nonsense.

He is never reasonable.

He deserves only derision and scorn.

Everyone that I ever heard say that he is worth listening to is a tin foil hat wearing mentally deficient or some geriatric white guy who believes that the black folk are comin' after him.

They fail to see Back for what he is.

A mentally unstable, religious wing-nut who is laughing all the way to the bank as he exploits the stupidity and fear of his audience.

 

[Kulindahr]

He is never reasonable.

Okay, there's a challenge for chance: give us some footage of Beck being reasonable.

 

[rareboy]

But it can't just be of him sounding reasonable in a sound bite. It has to be in the context of the entire argument he's making being reasonable and not founded in some wacko scheme to get people to buy gold or fear one another or the government.

Even Hitler sounds reasonable some days if you lift his comments out of context.

So don't try parsing crazy.

This isn't a general railing about all of his actions. This is actually very specific. This started about Drummond Pike's appeal to Glen Beck's sponsors and cutting off his funding. Drummond Pike was the target of of an assassination attempt by a "progressive hunter" who considered Glenn Beck his "schoolteacher."

How is this "unwarranted attention"? It's not a big deal for a man to commit premeditated murder? Possibly multiple murders?

You say:
"w/o the unwarranted attention and vile response they would so much less powerful as their supporters would not be emboldened"

So by paying attention, and being on watch - it is actually we that are responsible for the actions of Byron Williams?

Sarah Palin is Glenn Beck’s Most Dangerous Disciple

If Byron Williams represents the danger of extremist and violent rhetoric, Sarah Palin represents what happens the language of conspiracy and hate are legitimized into the politics of fear. Beck would still be popular without Palin, but she will be providing his disciples a Beck messaged and approved candidate for 2012.

^ Did Glenn Beck tell anyone to go kill someone? Of course not. It's so absurd that you would even attempt to connect the two dots.

Using your logic, well lack of logic, JD Salinger should be blamed for John Lennon's death

It's not my logic, it's that of Byron Williams. I never said Glenn Beck told anyone to kill.

Is it so absurd to connect two dots? Glen Beck does it all the time and far more absurdly - he just uses a chalkboard.

I find it ironic that beck's wacky mormon ass called Obama a racist, when it is his [STRIKE]religion[/STRIKE] cult that he pays into that is racist towards blacks by [STRIKE]doctrine[/STRIKE] brainwashing.

So, you're right, people shouldn't take an uneducated former addict's opinions too seriously.

 

[Lostlover]

well, get Murdoch to sack beck.
Otherwise deport Murdoch beck to Australia ...

I wish. Why did he ever leave?

 

[andysayshi]

Australian's wouldn't watch Beck or O'Reilly.

you're kidding right? my job is prove that a man is reasonable??

i don't watch glenn save for an odd time or two - i do know that soundbite journalism can make just about anyone seem crazy or "unreasonable"

i thought the attacks on him prior to his wash dc rally where people tried desperately to portray the crowds as minimal and crazy ........... were typical of his enemies

he apologized for calling the president a racist

i have never heard keith olbermann apologize for calling george bush or for that matter any republican names

my point is that personal attacks on palin/beck/etc. lack any reason and make her/his supporters more committed (not a pun)

You admit you rarely watch him, but are willing to claim he's reasonable and the wild-man spells are aberrations? You don't have sufficient data to make such an assertion!
