1. Glen Beck needs to be behind bars.
Too many are there for smoking a harmless plant. He is more dangerous than any illegal drug can approach.

They need to deal HARSHLY with these death threats. Solitary confienement harsh.

3. Unfortunately, someone will have to be killed or severely hurt before this is addressed.
Classic case of closing the door after the horse escapes.

We've been seeing these warning signs since the last presidential race. Palin's mobs shouting racist and death threats. The Pew report confirming increased activities among conservative racist groups. Elevated cases of confrontations at town hall meetings. Hateful language spewed regularly from Beck and other talk show idiots of his ilk.

What's it gonna take before these people are dealt with appropriately? We're seeing it. It's like watching a train wreck taking place in slow motion.

2. It can happen here. And with people like Palin, Sinclair Lewis's novel seems
possible. (the novel "It Can't Happen Here", where U.S. turns fascist appealing to ignorance).

Rednecks, guns, and pick-em-up trucks = Aryan Nation, KKK, Faux News, and the Republican Party.

10. This should be required viewing for all US citizens.
Unfortunately, half the citizenry is completely apathetic to politics/news, and then a quarter of the remaining populace is batshit crazy republicans, so that really only leaves about a quarter of the population that would even consider watching Maddow, much less listen and take in what it is she's saying. :(
