Very odd. A subdued Glenn Beck asks his viewers to remain calm and not turn violent. What could have provoked this?

Beck implores viewers to not turn violent: "Just one lunatic like Timothy McVeigh could ruin everything"

If he had to say that on his show, then he has no business on TV.

I happened to watch the broadcast and he didn't say that but what matters is someone said he said that.

He never used the terms "homicidal" or "rampages".

But perhaps Homeland Security can fire up a "Peoples Committee for the Preservation of Domestic Peace" and appoint a Truth Czar with the power to decide who can be on television.

It's the left, not the right, that likes to blow things up.
Perhaps you should put the word out.

First, I'm impressed a lefty would watch Glen Beck since you are mis-informed about him being a republican. Second, he hates the fringes on both sides, and he was talking about being disrespectful.

Wonder what on earth information Faux learned about the kind of people who watch Beck's show that he was told to go on and say this.

A mix of scary and pathetic as usual.

It is scary. I wonder what kind of Obama hate mail he got. But then, Beck's an irresponsible idiot if he didn't realized that his language could lead to potential violence. Just shows the kind of people who tune in to his show.

That will come as comforting news to the 4th St. Baptist Church and the occupants of the Murray Federal Building.

He was talking about MORE than being disrespectful. He was also talking about TREASON.
Clearly he feels some of his viewers are inclined towards that direction.

And you want to know something?
He's right to be concerned about that - but that's what happens when you rile people up with hateful talk.

The left also get their thrills by changing/rearranging the letters of Fox News. Just like 10-year-olds like to do!
