Here in Glen Beckistan, Our Violence is More "Tasteful" than Violence in the Muslim World

This morning, America is clutching its pearls and assessing the violence in Libya, shaking its head at extremists who are easily goaded into murdering strangers in the name of their personal religion.

"My divine creator can beat up your divine creator, so there."

""Oh yeah? Well, my divine creator needs me to kill a few random strangers to get even with you. So there."

**boom**


It's so tacky the way they do it, I swear.



Here, we have Glen Beck announcing on 50,000 Watt AM stations that "Progressives must die!" and urging listeners to "Cut Nancy Pelosi's head off!"

"My politics can beat up your politics," and so on....and we see, as in the above example, where this leads.

But when OUR crazy people are goaded into killing others in the name of dogma, we don't blame the Glen Becks - those frothing at the mouth, violence-inciting lunatics who daily urge listeners to harm strangers - we instead focus on the "mental stability" of the murderer, divorcing him from any stochastic or reactionary rationale for his deadly rage.

We don't stop the Glen Becks who incite violence here, as my response from the FCC clearly indicates.

We tastefully look the other way when there is a mass killing by an American, choosing to explore the problems and fatal flaws of the individual. We tastefully look the other way at the record numbers of threats made on a president's life, at the post after post on internet forums in which American Christian fundamentalists indulge in discussions of fantasies where they kill all the "non-believers."

So we feel very free to criticize all you Arabs. You guys need to be more "tasteful" about your murders in the name of religion and politics, as we are in the US.

We are outraged, outraged, I tell you.
