Just like I don't approve of people being rude to Glenn Beck while he's trying to enjoy an evening in a park. While I may find him to be an abrasive pundit whose rhetoric is ultimately divisive and paranoid, he's almost certainly never done personally to those people who were rude to him.
Have you watched Beck once in the last 6 months? I am sure that you know just what he is saying from reading Media Matters, Think Progress or Kos. I sometimes waste time reading what they say about his daily show and find so much twisting of words that I nearly get sick.

At the end of the day, you're suggesting physical harassment of not only people you don't agree with, but their families too. It's very telling. I would argue with you and try to explain why this is wrong, but what's the point...

When was the last time you watched Beck to know all that crap about his hate? I bet you have never watched his show but I do know where you probably get your info about him.

spilling a drink on your picnic blanket is not my opinion of getting physical.

I've had people throw chairs at me, take swings at me, now that's physical.

Beck is a wimp.

Nope, I tend not to spend my time watching or listening to people that I find to be abrasive pundits whose rhetoric is ultimately divisive and paranoid. I watched his 9/12 rally and his Lincoln Memorial rally, and reached my conclusion off of those. If those rallies are significantly different from the person he is on a day to day basis please let me know. Also please let me know in what way Beck's allegation that Obama is racist against white people was twisted out of context.

You are the guy who said we should keep it that way. You know throwing pies and drinks when there is somebody who may not think like you. You two together will really have a ball being good little progressives.

The guy was a straight up nutjob, he didn't engage in his murderous rampage for any political reasons.
I can agree with you on that point.

You are right. I wouldn't want to see him because I've seen enough of his hate and it makes me sick.
