They've already had the Goldman Sach's CEO effigy with his head on a pike. Is that really the violence for which you hunger?

These kind of asinine statements appear to be classic signs of paranoid schizophrenia

Glenn Beck: Protestors ‘Will Come For You, Drag You Into The Streets, And Kill You’ | Mediaite
I disagree with and dislike most right-wing commentators. However, there are only two of them whom I believe are certifiably insane and in need of serious mental care: Glen Beck and Michael Savage. Beck's former partner in radio has given interviews where he describes Beck's mental lapses in detail. Just listen to Beck. For those of you who have never had a crazy relative, that's what crazy sounds like folks.

I suspect Fox canned him because they don't want to be associated with him when the inevitable major meltdown occurs. Mark my words, Beck is going to be hospitalized for "mental exhaustion" or something along those lines in the near future.

Beck's always done this--it's all about sensationalism for ratings--the guy will stoop to anything and has zero shame. FOX let him go for the same reason. The problem is that some people actually take him seriously.

Yes, those included. However, it requires a coruppt government to allow that to happen.

Do you ignore the Solyndras, SunPower, GM, LightSquared, Brookfield Properties, and other chronies whom Obama has paid back the most recently?

Look at those in Obama's cabinet and his czars:
JP Morgan
Goldman Sachs
GE
Monsanto
Google

You should be protesting the Obama administration!

I so disagree with the "spirit" of this statement. If it wasn't for Limbaugh and others, these movements would never have happened. The OWS protesters, for the most part, I think, are paid protesters. What they are doing is good, to some extent, but don't get too starry eyed over the individuals.

Can you give a link to the former partners statements ? I would like to read that. Not doubting, mind you, just curious.

Check out who was in Bushy boy and DICK Cheney's pockets too...repubs and dems are both corrupt trash...I wont argue against that point.....but,until something comes along better you just have to make lemonade out of the lemons you've got.

BTW..BUSH played with those same companies prior to Obama as did Clinton... as did H.W.... as did Reagan ad nauseum.

Newsflash: Obama is the one handing out the money NOW.

Pull your head out already. Make the one in office NOW be accountable. Hypocrits!

Is this any crazier than the Congressional Black Caucus and Rep. Andre Carson (D-Illinois) claiming that the Tea Party wants to lynch all blacks and take the U.S. back to the good old Jim Crow days?

The only difference I see is that Beck is paid to play the role of a lunatic fringe radio personality but Carson is an elected government official who wields power and influence.
