I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong?"

From the May 17 broadcast of The Glenn Beck Program:

BECK: Hang on, let me just tell you what I'm thinking. I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong? I stopped wearing my What Would Jesus -- band -- Do, and I've lost all sense of right and wrong now. I used to be able to say, "Yeah, I'd kill Michael Moore," and then I'd see the little band: What Would Jesus Do? And then I'd realize, "Oh, you wouldn't kill Michael Moore. Or at least you wouldn't choke him to death." And you know, well, I'm not sure.

Can you guess the year?







2010? nope













2009 ? nope












2008? nope















2007? come on it has to be ........

















2006 ? guess again

















2005? winner !!!




If Beck's words have caused so much violence there should be a huge list of dead victims since 2005 right? nope




Did you know since Beck 2005 show over 400+ people have died from lightening?






and 900+ from sky diving?






Aircraft Crashes? like 6000




Septicemia ? over 2,000,000 people








and yet Michael Moore lives

Just those documented crazy people going after public figures, saying they listened to Beck and he influenced them, like the guy caught on the way to kill folks at the Tides Foundation, as Glenn Beck recommended on his show:
http://mediamatters.org/research/201101130002

Glenn isn't pesonally responsible for these folks. But he is responsible, having a public forum, to realize that his verbal attacks on people and public calls for action could be taken very, very seriously by the crazy. You know, like Bill O'Reilly repeatedly calling a particular physician a baby killer, saying someone should take him out - and dang, if someone didn't do exactly that.

Glenn Beck is a shock jock, who knows how to rile his audience up for ratings. The President is a racist, people should be killed, the world is ending and buy gold, yak, yak, yak. He excels at scaring old white people.

Beck lost all his "real" advertisers with the racist comments. He's free to speak, and America is free to respond.

Did you buy your gold yet, Geeker? Have you purchased your dehydrated meals so your family will not starve during the apocalypse?

If you bought gold back when Beck first suggested you would have quadrupled your money!

Yeah, they have dominated for some time. The market for the demographic of scared old white folks has gotten smaller and smaller, over the years, ever since Walter Cronkite retired. Fox is their haven.

Ah. No. These were just two guys trying to look badass to the locals, and unassociated with anybody or anything. Fox News created this "story" out of whole cloth.

And how is trading that gold bar in at the Kroger's for groceries, because we've collapsed as a nation due to the black guy being elected President, going? :rolleyes:

The Cash for Gold stores are doing just fine. Largest 'fence' America has ever seen. Keep playing the race card though. It's getting so old and battered everyone knows it's coming before being turned up.

BTW Keep hoping Landslide LMAO!

Sorry Riot - FOX leads in (25-54) = Adults 25-54 viewing

A bit of a bigoted statement don't you think?

They were associated with this. If it were 2 KKK members, oops sorry 2 men dressed as KKK but not associated with them, standing in front of a polling place holding billy clubs, but minding their own business would it be different? Would Ashton Kuscher jump out from around a corner?

If the average age of a CNN news viewer is 62 compared to 65 for FOX, I'd argue they have far more old people than FOX simply to off-set all their young, hip viewers. For every 30 year old watching CNN there is also a 90 plus year old. Forget about an 18 year old.

Or could it simply be, young people don't watch a news channel?

LOL - "bigoted" ??? Not when looking at the actual physical makeup of the audiences who turned out for the Fox-sponsored Tea Party rallies, and the Glenn Beck rallies.

Here you go: only 1.38% of Fox News viewers are African American. Least of any news channel. Old (very old, Fox owns the over 65 demographic) and white.

Quote:

According to Nielsen Media Research, Fox News has averaged just 29,000 black viewers in primetime so far this television season (9/09-7/10). That represents just 1.38% of its 2.102 million total viewer audience. CNN and MSNBC, meanwhile, both have far more black viewers, both in absolute terms and as a proportion of their overall audiences

Nice try, though.

There isn't a GOP who can beat Obama in 2012. And the way the GOP have started this Congress, I wouldn't be surprised if the Dems get the Congress back, too.

"Race card" - you mean like Glenn Beck repeatedly plays? The President is "a racist with a deep-seated hatred of white people?"

dems are defending 23 senate seats in 2012 while republicans have only 10. some of the democratic seats are in very red states. republicans need 4 seats or 3 if they take the white house. if i was a republican i'd feel pretty good about the chances of taking the senate in 2 years.

it would really take another wave election in the other direction to the one we just saw to prevent it.

you know i'm on your side riot but math is a bitch here.

I know what the math is, and yes, it is a bitch - I figured both H & S would be GOP in 2012.

But watching what these guys are doing so far: they are not starting out strong at all, the Tea Party will do nothing but harm them over the next 2 years, as will caving to the extreme wingnut base (as they are doing daily now, see Pawlenty). They'd better turn it around if they want to win what they "should". Don't forget the Presidential wave will carry some Dems.

The Dems don't have very many blue dogs left, it's become pretty polarized between red and blue. Will be a very interesting election.

Unbelievable that no GOP (well, one has) has declared yet for President. I think they have written it off, and none of the truly viable candidates want to risk the reputation harm of the guaranteed loss.

I think there will be a strong resurgence of the "moderate" Republican, as some guys are simply already drawing the line in the sand and refusing to compromise their intelligence and ethics when facing the more crazy rightest part of the party. Joe Scarborough had a nice editorial in Politico** the other day. But I think this will fracture, not unite, the party. The convention in Tampa will be exciting - sorta like the 1960's.

I'll go on the limb right now saying Jeb Bush-Rubio in 2016.

** Presidential-year elections are driven by a completely different demographic. Good luck trying that “Second Amendment remedies” crap on swing voters in the suburbs. It just won’t fly. And neither will the cacophony of crazy talk that has gripped the far right for the past two years.

Hoof - these were two guys unassociated with anyone else. This is a manufactured, created conspiracy theory.
