You don’t think they get there ideas that folks like Beck, Palin, O’Reilly, etc., are “dangerous” from MSBNC personalities like Maddow, Olbermann? Not to mention the tomes written by Klein, Fineman, Cohen, Kurtz, etc. What about the daily radio rantings of Malloy or Rhodes who state that beck and others should be “stopped in any way possible” ?

Not to mention this website which places Beck in the same category as Hitler. What happens when someone shoots Beck or Palin or blows up the Fox News headquarters and they find that the guy was a big fan of Malloy or MSNBC, The Daily KOS, or The Huffington Post?

What then? Will the SPLC place the aforementioned in their “hate group” category?

You don’t think that the premise in this article cannot be flipped to present the same danger by personalities on the Left side of the dial?

If, not, then you are ignorant and hypocritical.

So far the record is: 1 czar shot(Nikolai II), and 1 exiled(Simeon II of Bulgaria).

It seems that Glenn Beck’s famous blackboard would be better used diagramming sentences so that his followers could learn to use the English language.

Guardian you have a lot of gall defaming Paul Revere like that.

The precedent of Yigal Amir, who shot Yizhak Rabin in 1995 after listening to the rabid rhetoric of the Israeli far right is one that readily comes to mind.

As for me, growing up in ‘the ghetto,’ or ‘urban sprawl,’ as some people would call it, I’ve learned the hard way. I had a friend who had a passenger in the car. The passenger asked to be taken to the store to buy cigarettes. Instead, the passenger went in to rob the store. My friend was convicted as get-away driver.

When I was about 19 years old, I had a guy in my car. The police was behind us, and he thought the police would pull us over. He threw drugs on the floor near my feet. I threw it back on his side. He left it there on the floor. At the time, I didn’t realize that if the police had pulled us over, I still could have been convicted if he had denied it was his because it was my car. This lesson has taught me, not to give people rides, and not to ride in other peoples’ cars if they are not family members.

For that matter, no legitimate news agency has reported the fact that FOX “News” eggs these Christian Republican loons in to terrorism and treason against us.

Would you mind pointing me towards a couple of specific cases? I’m not well-versed in law either, but I think that Fox News, being the media giant that it is, would have some kind of disclaimer removing them from liability. If these were individual persons that hinted or complained about certain things, they probably didn’t have that same protection.

They are NOT journalists. They have no ethics.

So does the ACLU defends everyone? Not necessarily. Certianly not in Hardy Lloyd’s case.

As for Beck being to blame, I think he is partially to blame. The man who did the shooting believed that he was trying to save America because of things Beck said. Taking Beck’s hyperbolic, fearmongering warnings seriously was his choice, but without said warnings the man wouldn’t have been thinking that he had to save America from these groups.

Should Beck be tried over this? No. Is he partially to blame? In my opinion, yes. As someone else said, unlike Hal Turner, Beck is within his 1st Amendment rights. Until he starts outright saying that there needs to be violence against some certain group, he’s untouchable. Boycott his show and his advertisers, try to get others to do the same.

Many of them feel aggrieved because they are doing poorly in a bad economy while they perceive that their neighbors are doing well. Wealthy and cynical men like Beck are using the dissatisfaction of Tea Partiers for their own political gain.

It so happens that today’s Germany is doing very well, while the US, because of it’s poor treatment of wage earners, is doing very poorly in comparison to the majority of European nations. Germany has not outsourced its industry as the US has done.

Of course we can only speculate about the motivation of broadcasters like Fox and their premier personalities like Beck, but it definitely has to do with more money and power for the American “ownership” class.

I view their statements as an attempt to get approval for a 2-class system in America. Those classes would be the desperate and powerless workers and their overseers who would own all of the resources of America, including land and water.

I believe we would end up in the same position as most poor people in countries like India, Mexico, etc. Is that what we want for cheap thrills now?

Also could you please tell us the name of this new “Czar”? And did you consider CHECKING with the ACLU website to see what they have to say about wire-tapping and electronic spying? Or did you just assume that because they are a bunch of “libruhls”, they don’t care about wire-tapping when a Democrat is in the oval office?

That brings me to another point- were you in a coma from 2001-2009? I’m asking because you seem to think that invasions of privacy are somehow tied to the “new government”(you know, the one that was elected by a majority of the American people). You HAVE heard of the Patriot Act right?
