The worst part is that when it does happen, or happens more than once, there will be a strong knee jerk reaction (the only kind America seems to have) and there will be a call to do something, which will probably lead to some kind of censorship because people can't censor themselves anymore. And we will have nobody to blame but ourselves for encourage these kinds of things and calling it "free speech".
agree. Nobody wants that.
Faux has probably been warned by the FCC that they need to tone it down... Rush too I'll bet.
Ironic that these guys who talk about the greatness of America have so little faith in it's resilience to withstand what they see as an assault on it, and transmit that pessimism on to their listeners who no longer believe in America anymore.
I think it's mostly the same crowd that cheered when Rick Perry talked about Texas leaving the union if they didn't get their way. They proclaim that they love America, but then if things don't go their way, they say they're leaving the union or that they're stockpiling guns for the revolution.
The people who resort to violence and even personal verbal attacks are for the most part simply not intelligent enough to express their opinions effectively or they have serious emotional problems.
I think there are people like this in any group including the groups we define as liberal and conservative. What Beck says is good advice and should be said more often.

I think Beck, among all the Faux hosts, had to make this statement because his recent comments about Obama hating white people, being a racist etc. turned over a rock that let loose a swarm of monsters....his bosses had him say it. Not BillO, not Sean. Beck generates this sort of response.

what do you think?
Ah, edit...
The FCC wouldnt be involved in this. It's the sponsors.
But here's what I don't get: Why does he even feel he has to regularly remind his viewers not to resort to violence? That tells me that a sizeable part of his audience is unstable and potentially dangerous, and that something he's saying is--dare I say it?--inciting them to think about getting violent.
I still say that if a commentator has to regularly say that to his audience, to remind them of Timothy McVeigh, then there's something horribly wrong with the picture.
why should it tell you that a seizable part of his audience would do something bad? He knows there are NUTS in this world that take things off kilter and do bad things because of something said. He does not want ONE person to ruin the movement that has been started and should be peaceful to get the maximum impact. ONE person that is a little skitzo can ruin the whole thing.

so they went back in time, told Beck to say this many times even when bush was in office? wow, I did not know we had that technology yet

I hate to say it but you are probably right. I fully expect buildings to be blown up and people attacked as the lunatic Republcians are stirred to action by the reactionary AM radio host. There are many more where McVeigh came from. No doubt about it.
I guess you haven't read the left wing wacko blogs lately. It's on both sides. Beck is giving good advice to both sides.
