Just stop. What you are doing with this thread is offensive and intentionally participating in defamation of character. Glenn Beck consistently and repeatedly tells his views/listeners not to be violent and not to take his word for anything but to do their own research.
This is a trolling thread if ever there was one. Really low class attempt, very low class.
BS. I"m calling you out. Nothing in the thread is incorrect. It's all facts. If you have an issue take it up with the media. I'm just reporting a few stories widely available from well known sources. You just want to censor, plain and simple.
I got banned for a couple days several days ago for posting a very similar thread to this one except directed at Mexicans so let's see how this one holds up
Difference is this thread is not racist. Racist threads are a clear violation of TOS
You know, you can make fun of the OP if you want, but there is something to this. If you go on rants about organizations and the government, painting them as evil (and Beck evidently did that with Tides Foundation--the shooter was on the way there to kill people before he got in a shoot out with police) don't be surprised when some vulnerable people take what you say seriously, and follow through with action. This isn't a liberal or conservative thing--it's a responsible citizen thing. Is Glenn Beck directly responsible for this shooting? No. As a leader of the conservative movement (and he is one of the leaders--don't try to say he's just a media personality) he needs to consider that leadership inspires other people to act. If he's promoting violence as the last resort of a "patriotic citizen" somebody may just pick up the flag.
"I would've never started watching Fox News if it wasn't for the fact that Beck was on there," says this friend, Byron Williams. "And it was the things he did, it was the things he exposed, that blew my mind."
"I do enjoy Glenn Beck," Williams also says, "and the reason why I enjoy that is because... no other channel will speak about the same things that he's talking about, and if you go and investigate those things you'll find out that they're true."
Unfortunately for Beck, this satisfied viewer currently resides at the Santa Rita Jail near Oakland and stands accused of a freeway shootout with police.
Does it now. Hmm. Wonder how many other examples we can come up with of EXTREMELY VIOLENT ANTI GOVERNMENT LEFT WINGERS who were inspired by lets see: AYERS, Obama's buddy. lol.
I mean seriously this thread is THE BOMB for its Irony (no pun intended lol)!
And I can't stop laughing over the thread title and it's nonnpartisan even tone!
How 'bout that professor lady in Alabama that shot some of her co-workers.
They said all she talked about was how awesome Obama was.

The Huffington Post would never try to spin anything to benefit the left would they?
I'm not at all a fan of Beck but have no doubt whatsoever that he will denounce this individual and reaffirm his request that listeners not engage in violent actions.

"The Examiner, in an article published this week, exonerated Beck by pointing to Williams's statement that "I know Beck continuously talks about peaceful resolution but I have constantly disagreed."
Again this is why people are moving away from liberals and towards conservatives, they the left is intellectually bankrupt and will distort any comment to hew to their point of view.
David Hinckley had a fixation with Jodie Foster so of course it is her fault he tried to kill Reagan.
Manson had a fixation with the Beatles so of course it is their fault he was a mass murderer. Sheesh.
Actually I believe it was the Beachboys, not the Beatles - they even recorded a song he wrote on their 20/20 album
