3. How?
Fairness doctrine is dead in the water. Impact on sponsors is the only way.

11. Date of Broadcast:: Thursday, June 10, 2010
"I will stand against you and so will millions of others. We believe in something. You in the media and most in Washington don't. The radicals that you and Washington have co-opted and brought in wearing sheep's clothing — change the pose. You will get the ends.

You've been using them? They believe in communism. They believe and have called for a revolution. You're going to have to shoot them in the head. But warning, they may shoot you."

30. she's toast
her approval rating now is at 38%; her disapproval rating is 53%.

She made a fatal tactical error when she took to the airwaves and danced on the grave of a 9 yr old child, trying to make that child's death all about her maintaining her right to be crass, attention-whorish and selfish/self-centered/self-absorbed.

IMO, she needs to be met with the fact that she danced on that child's grave for her own edification without any regard for that child's family's feelings and grief.

She knows she fucked up because she went and got hannitized just days after--but the viewers of that network are not the majority in this country and while that might play well to her knuckledragging, mouthbreathing followers, it falls flat on its face with everyone else. That's why she's got that deer in the headlights look about her these days. She knows she's fucked up and she can't get out of her own way long enough to figure it out.

7. Revolution in Germany? When did that happen?
What happened to "Hitler was elected"?

Actually he wasn't. Hitler never ran for office. The Nazis exploited loopholes in the German constitution to obstruct and shut down the government every time they didn't get their way- then they blamed their political opponents for the government's inability to get anything done.(Sound like anyone we know?) Then he strong armed Hindenburg into appointing him Chancellor by holding the government hostage.

15. Correction...
Hitler did run for office. He lost. The winner, Hindenburg, later appointed him chancellor as a political maneuver.

8. I dont' get it
Edited on Tue Jan-18-11 03:02 PM by booley
wow, I can't imagine how anyone could think there was a connection between Beck and people who try to shoot others in the head.

Nope, i don't see it.

Now excuse me, I need to make my tea party signs saying that I came unarmed.. this time.

Oh and a :sarcasm: for the POE challenged.

BTW, the poster might want to add the date of that broadcast.

I see a lot of cons saying you took Beck out of context.

Because I am sure there is some context that would make "You need to shoot them in the head before they shoot you!" not mean a call to do violence.

I'm just at a loss as to what that context could possibly be right now.

Bud. Dude. How about someone saying they should shoot YOU before you shoot them?

--: Republicans and Tea Party types (aka bikers, neo-nazis, skinheads, white supremacists)listen with adoration to Beck and Limbaugh and ---yuck---Savage and ARE QUITE WILLING TO ACT ON THEIR BIGOTRY.

Seriously dude, I even made a point of mentioning I had a sarcasm tag.

And even if I hadn't, surely the rest of my post would have clued you in.

26. Well done
Did the OP create this video? I've been working on my own video using this same rant from Beck. The original rant is quite different from what's in your video. I managed to turn Beck's own words against him throughout. :D I'm close to uploading it now but will probably wait until tomorrow to post the link.

29. A bit more context - Beck speaks of shooting himself in the head first (strange, strange man)
BECK: Yes, it has. It has. This is an ominous statement coming from a revolutionary. Please go to GlennBeck.com and look up "STORM: Reclaiming Revolution." This is his organization. He is in this. From a revolutionary.

I'm sorry but when did the Obama administration not be progressive? Excuse me? They were normal? We have seen progressives. We haven't seen the actual spooky progressives yet. I think you are about to. Something has changed this week. He's right.

But what the politicians don't understand, the ones who have co-opted these revolutionaries and brought them in the process, is they are dangerous. Why? Why? Well, because a lot of them have called for violent revolution in the past and they never distanced themselves from it.

You cannot co-opt and lie to people who believe in something. Why is Ahmadinejad dangerous? Well, because he says he wants to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth, OK? The press and the politicians — "Oh, he's just saying that."

Why do they say that? Because nobody in the press and nobody in Washington actually believes a damn thing, except their own image. That's it. This man is a twelver. Look it up. Do you know what it is? It's a revolutionary so dangerous that the Ayatollah Khomeini banned twelvers.

OK. Here's the Ayatollah Khomeini, who is a revolutionary — he says stay away from these guys. They're spooky. He didn't co-opt them because he understood they believed in the 12th Imam coming back, and the way to bring the 12th Imam back is wash the world in blood.

There are politicians like the Ayatollah Khomeini who will do revolution for power. And then there are people like this who are mad men. I never thought I'd say we better learn something from the Ayatollah Khomeini, but here it is.

The media and the politician have all of this wrong. In every single walk of life — you want to know why TV doesn't reflect you? You want to know why Washington doesn't reflect you? Because they don't understand, from the radical revolutionaries to the Islamic extremists — and yes, DOJ, they do exist — to the Tea Party movements.

Just because you in Washington and you who are so out of touch with life in the media, just because you don't believe in anything doesn't mean nobody else does. We do. You know why you're confused by this show? It's because I believe in something. You don't.

Tea parties believe in small government. We believe in returning to the principles of our Founding Fathers. We respect them. We revere them. Shoot me in the head before I stop talking about the Founders. Shoot me in the head if you try to change our government.

I will stand against you and so will millions of others. We believe in something. You in the media and most in Washington don't. The radicals that you and Washington have co-opted and brought in wearing sheep's clothing — change the pose. You will get the ends.

You've been using them? They believe in communism. They believe and have called for a revolution. You're going to have to shoot them in the head. But warning, they may shoot you.

They are dangerous because they believe. Karl Marx is their George Washington. You will never change their mind. And if they feel you have lied to them — they're revolutionaries. Nancy Pelosi, those are the people you should be worried about.

Here is my advice when you're dealing with people who believe in something that strongly — you take them seriously. You listen to their words and you believe that they will follow up with what they say.

Didn't we learn that lesson from Usama bin Laden? I heard his warning in 1998. I said on the air at the time, listen to him. We didn't listen. We didn't listen to the revolutionaries in Germany, the revolutionaries in Russia or Venezuela or Cuba — no, no, no. They all have one thing in common. They have all called for revolution.

They want to overthrow our entire system of government, and their words say it. Why won't you believe it?

As you will learn on "Founding Fridays(sic)," this Friday, we're talking about James Madison. Here is what you will learn. The revolution of 1776 was a picnic compared to what the revolutionaries of today would like to do. It's not a lot of fun. Usually, millions of people die.

But I'm glad to see our politicians will co-opt those people so they can have power. Fundamental transformation. It's what America is going through right now. And the progressives, the Marxist revolutionary progressives are still not happy. I'm going to show you the beginning of that civil war inside the Democratic Party, next.

Though Beck doesn't get it, that statement of his may be the best piece of advice he has ever given.

33. FCC doesn't care about this though --
Edited on Wed Jan-19-11 09:34 AM by defendandprotect
Nor did they care when O'Reilly was calling for Dr. Tiller's death --

But an exposed woman's breast -- that allegedly shakes the world!

COMCAST profits from internet pornography -- $500 million or more every year --

that didn't count though when it came time to allow them to increase their

monopoly over media.

The right wing is nothing but total fakery --

based on bullying and intimidation, political violence, stolen elections and lies.

And making GUNS more prevalent in our society is certainly part of the GOP/NRA plan.


EVERYTHING on the right is bought and paid for by them --

from the Christian Coalition to the T-BAGGERS --

and the violence is steadily being encouraged and increasing.

ONLY the right wing profits from political violence.

Why if Beck had said -- go "knife them" -- ?

Would that wake up Americans?

39. What an ignorant fuck.
We didn't take the Russian revolutionaries seriously? We sent fucking troops to fight along side the white army. This guy convinces his followers that he knows history when he doesn't have a clue. In his world anyone that believes in a social safety net is a violent communist.

41. This is most important, but does the cartoonist animation perhaps make it ...
Edited on Wed Jan-19-11 01:28 PM by Faryn Balyncd

...less effective, perhaps raising the question in the viewer's mind that his inflamatory words had been altered or exaggerated, and were not any more real than the animation?

Would the damning audio unadorned by the cartoon, or accompanied by still photos, be more effective with the unconverted?

42. I am afraid I was wrong again..
Edited on Wed Jan-19-11 02:34 PM by Stuart G
I have looked at it again, and again..
and .I was wrong..........sorry.

the end of the video where it is repeated over and over is wrong....
There is one sentence in the transcript that does say..
"You're going to have to shoot them in the head. But warning , they may shoot you.."
That is correct and he does say that once in reference to the "radicals"


It was hard to find that one sentence in the 7 page transcript that I had printed..
and the order is different in the transcript than it is on the video.. ........... But it is there
and Beck said it. I was wrong in previous post to call it a fraud..(I took that down.)
and it is my mistake.
.I'm otta here. shame on me, I am sorry, and I was wrong...

44. Great comment at my youtube site.
Shockna I am not saying Loughner listened to Beck.
I am saying it's incredible coincidence. Tea baggers and pundits like Beck encourage violence like shooting people in the head
And then people get shot in the head

Maybe I should just flat out ask

"""""is it really acceptable to encourage violence as long as the gunman doesn't seem to have a direct connection?"""""

A direct connection this time I should add since others like Byron Williams did listen to Beck
When is saying to shoot others going too far?
