Why is Glenn Beck Obsessively Targeting New York City Professor Frances Fox Piven? 2 of 2

For more than a year, Fox News host Glenn Beck has been increasingly targeting Frances Fox Piven, a 78-year-old distinguished professor of political science and sociology at the Graduate Center, City University of New York. Beck has repeatedly accused her of advocating violence and of hatching a plan in 1966 to overthrow the system. Democracy Now! asks Professor Piven to discuss the attacks and the social justice work and research she has done for the last 40 years.

1. To prove that he can target any Mfu#$er he chooses. As the shooter said, he can say anything he

chooses.

2. So, Beck has revealed

the latest incarnation of Emmanuel Goldstein, and he is a little old lady from New York.

First, this sly fucker makes disclaimers that he doesn't advocate violence or tolerate it from any quarter. Then he names the names and shows the faces of the leftists enemies of the state who should be liquidated. Forget contacting FOX. The FBI should be inundated with demands for his investigation every time he indirectly targets a living person for his cult brand of Old Testament "blood cleansing". Enough is enough.

I think I'll start tomorrow.

4. Saw the interview on Democracy Now

Was surprised that Andrew Breitbart was the one who got the ball rolling that Frances Fox Piven was behind our financial problems.

She wanted welfare assistance to be given to those who were eligible.And all Americans to have the right to vote. Now why would this bother Andrew Breitbart? Remember his work with Acorn? The two have something in common.

Then the biggest shocker to me...Vanity Fair this month in an article about the beginnings of HuffPo..Arrianna hired Andrew Breitbart! He later went on to take credit for Huff Po. Says he did it all.

6. been to Huff Post

It's a weird website. Seems like "Info-tainment" still, but with these persistent sections that are more "National Enquirer". It's almost like weird map of information where frequency can be tracked.

There's a lot of stuff I DO NOT click on from there.

5. Throughout her career, Piven has combined academic work with political action....

For instance, in 1983 she co-founded Human SERVE (Service Employees Registration and Voter Education), an organization whose stated goal was increasing voter registration under the linking of social services or Department of Motor Vehicles usage with voter registration offerings. Human SERVE's initiative was taken up by the Clinton administration and made it into the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, colloquially called the "Motor Voter Bill".

8. I can't watch this insane MFer. Sorry. nt

10. Seriously, who can

stomach to watch Glen the hate mongering clown? I had to FF through most of his segment to watch the Democracy Now interview. I don't comprehend how G.B.'s visceral hatred, given voice by an obvious jester, can be tolerated by anyone.

11. Cause she is a widow and probably to old to fight back? K&R
