Glenn Beck Associates Obama Administration With Violent Murder Imagery
He uses bloody scenes from the motion picture "The Untouchables." And the Fox News 'Denied Access' story was fabricated anyway.

Sick fuck. Real sick fuck. All to make him rich. He needs to be called out on this in a major way.

4. Beck has lost 83 advertisers, so far...
I'm not quite getting why we give him credence, though I obviously do also. But he's so repugnant. :scared:

So who's still advertising on Beck? October 23 edition...

October 23, 2009 6:36 pm ET by Media Matters staff

Eighty advertisers have reportedly dropped their ads from Glenn Beck's Fox News program since he called President Obama a "racist" who has a "deep-seated hatred of white people." Here are his October 23 sponsors, in the order they appeared:

* Goldline International, Inc.
* Sandals
* Lifestyle Lift
* Superior Gold Group
* Real Estate Disposition, LLC. (Auction.com)
* News Corp. (The Wall Street Journal)

25. You have pointed out the most important thing
We must not ignore him and if anything happens to any government official Beck and the others better by targeted as being involved.

Faux also needs to be held liable if anything happens.

6. Beck is just so horrible, I can't stand to watch him for more than one minute (unless he's crying).
A side note: Looks like Glenn Beck has gained at least 10 pounds, maybe 20, in the past couple of months.
Is being in the center of controversy making him turn to food for comfort? :cry:

10. Glenn is unhinged; and I honestly believe his ramblings got Pittsburgh cops killed
On March 19 of this year, he aired a segment in which he rambled about a completely bogus, unsubstantiated nonsense about Obama's plans to take people's guns away as part of a phony Obama gun ban. Here's the evidence: http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/beck-and-nras-lapierre-warn-insidiou

Sixteen days later in the Stanton Heights part of Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Police were called to a house in Stanton Heights (near the Pittsburgh Zoo on the Allegheny River) for a domestic dispute. A paranoid, anti-Semitic right-winger, Richard Poplawski, thought the cops were coming to take his guns away as part of a phony Obama gun ban. He armed himself with an AK-47 and fired on the officers, killing three and wounding two.

In Beck's defense, he wasn't the only right-winger airing the bullshit about a completely fictional Obama gun ban. Lots of right-wingers airing nonsense completely ungrounded in reality pushed that wacko over the edge.

11. Beck is different than Limbaugh
Limbaugh is a perfectly sane vile human being who profits off of people's prejudice and hate.

Glenn Beck is actually insane. He honestly believes the nonsense he is selling.

24. It may be mean
But I wish Beck all the bad luck in the world, because it is quite obvious to me that he is trolling the TV airwaves to fire up a racist psycho assassin to attack the president.

It is no accident that the weirdos are showing up at President Obama;s events carrying guns. The U.S. Secret Service is over taxed from almost 500 assassination threats against President Obama, and Beck is directly responsible.

If suicide is in his gene pool, the United States is better off for it if he does himself in. Sorry to sound mean, but homeboy JFK was killed when I was in high school. I don't want to see President Obama or his family suffer the same fate.

21. This was the most chilling thing I have ever seen in national politics
Last night's Glen Beck program on Fox news featured a lengthy segment, perhaps a half hour long segment, in which Mr. Beck brought a full sized wooden baseball bat on the set and constantly held it in his hands, waved it around and pointed it at the camera in threatening poses while playing clips from President Obama's speeches and then paraphrasing Obama's comments in the accent of a Chicago gangster. He used the bat to illustrate his point that Obama was a Chicago style gangster politician intent on punishing his enemies. He interspersed this rant with gory clips from the movie,The Untouchables, showing a mob boss bashing someone's head in with a bat, and other scenes of blood and mayhem.

This violent and angry performance by Mr. Beck was one of the most chilling things I have ever seen in all the years I have followed national politics. I consider it beyond the pale, and I say that in the sense that if this is what now passes for civil discourse in national politics, then we are sliding into the abyss. Hans Olsen

22. A few days ago...
A few days ago, after seeing Beck's show having a clip showing the Detroit stimulus lines, and the progressives are slaveowners comment, I wrote a little something about Beck and a lot of America's vendetta against the less fortunate. I'd make a thread, but it says that I don't have enough posts to start a thread.

27. What's with the increasing right wing obsession with violence and death?
Whether it's bringing guns to Obama speeches or making statements on the Internet about how the U.S. should nuke entire countries, is this in any way normal thinking and behavior? Is this rational? Is this just a part of normal political debate and the exchange of ideas? Or is this not evidence that something more serious is going on, of a mass mental breakdown within the conservative mind? Even if Glenn Beck is just pretending, would you say and do the same things just to make money? Would you incite violence towards the President for any amount of money? To me, pretending is even more mentally deranged, amoral, and sociopathic than if he actually believed in what he says.
