StopBeck.com: Beck on violent uprising - "begin to think the unthinkable"

StopBeck.com is reporting on Twitter:

Speaking about possibility of a violent uprising in America, @glennbeck says "You must begin to think the unthinkable."

This asshole gets closer and closer to incitement of violence.

As the clip becomes available, I will link it.

ETA: OK, StopBeck may be miscontruing something here. I haven't found the exact clip of Beck saying this, but earlier today, Media Matters recorded this section of his show:

http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201003180017

He says that contrary to what some "Alaska" group is saying, guns have to be off the table lest we end up in a French Revolution. I'm keeping my eye out for the clip StopBeck was talking about.

1. It's long past straight jacket time for Mr. BecKKK

[Dappleganger]

2. And just what are they going to do?

Open fire on democratically-elected officials? Kill people with Obama stickers on their cars? If they think that is going to help their case they are SORELY mistaken.

[Ozymanithrax]

4. Civil wars have been started with less provacation...

We have seen a string of isolated, anti-government, idiots make attacks. These are Beck's base. His type of demagoguery is dangerous because it only takes one nut with a rifle to kill a lot of people. (This is not an attack on the second amendment. Guns aren't nuts. People are nuts.)

There are people who think such acts will help their cause. So far, for all but a few, personal survival trumps outrage.

[Bolo Boffin]

5. Details are up to the little people, naturally.

Beck needs to maintain plausible deniability, if at all possible.

[T Wolf]

7. Do you honestly think that most repukes would object in the least if the violence

of the reich-wingers expanded?

Has there been much condemnation at all resulting from Dr. Tiller's murder?

Has there been any blowback from the gun-nuts stalking the town halls and the President?

The powers-that-be within the overt-traitor party are more than willing to light the fuse and aim the the weapon - they only do not want to pay any consequences when the killings actually occur.

To think that their tactics are not successful is to ignore the violent history of this country. They win because they fight harder for their side, while we wring our hands and try to "compromise."

[arcadian]

3. There was a time when Glenn Beck would have been tarred & feather

and then run out of town on a rail.

[Kievan Rus]

44. There was a time he'd have been thrown in prison for treason and inciting rebellion

[Richard D]

6. And . . .

. . . this isn't being called what it is, treason, because . . .?

[Bolo Boffin]

8. I'm going to have to call shenanigans on my own OP

I just watched the laugh riot/classic episode of Glenn Beck today. He had Sarah Palin on to, among other things, specifically eschew violence as a response to the passage of health care. So props to them on that.

Now if we can only get Glenn Beck to understand just exactly why he needs to quell the violent tendencies of his rightwing audience...

[Caliman73]

13. lip service

Maybe you jumped to early on a particular episode, but just because one of his episodes includes another idiot saying, "Now, Now, violence is not the answer.." it never stops them from going right back to their fear inducing diatribes about "losing freedoms" and "we need to resist" are way more frequent than their occasional "let's be nice to each other" segments.

It's kind of like when the beer commercials show you all the scantily clad women having fun with the schleps because they are drinking Budweiser, then they tell you to "Drink Responsibly", yeah okay, they are real interested in moderation.

9. Bwreck is dangerously close to advocating 3rd Congress action...a treasonable offense w jail time

for offenders...

The Federalies will catch im soon enough....

[NotThisTime]

11. Nobody in authority will ever stop him... should anything happen they'll all wonder why

[Posteritatis]

30. What's that term mean? (nt)

[Matariki]

10. Been reading the graphic novel DMZ

set in the very near future - way too possible w/ the like of Glen Beck about...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMZ_%28comics%29

[Initech]

12. What do the wingnuts and teabaggers hope to accomplish exactly?

[opihimoimoi]

14. They don't even know...do they?? Thats because they are being EXPLOITED

by the GOP EXPLOITORS

End of Message

[Initech]

17. Yeah they're railing against something that benefits them directly.

Is this bizarro world or something? :shrug:

[opihimoimoi]

20. Yep.....Its gatta be genetic, in the water, lack of education, lack of civics, lack of Reasoning ??

[warm regards]

15. Ignore Beck...The 1st Amendment protects his rights as it does yours.

[Flubadubya]

16. Ugh...

Just ugh.

25. Re: your sig line. I'm damn proud to stand with losers. Like Jesus stood with the "least of these"

You like Jesus Christ, right?

The guy who said its easier for a rich man to go through the eye of a needle than enter the kingdom of heaven?

The guy who said the last shall be first and the first shall be last in the kingdom of heaven?

The guy who said blessed are the poor?

The guy who said he had been anointed by God to proclaim liberation of the oppressed and good news to the poor?

The guy who told the rich rule to go sell everything he had and give it to the poor (OMG SOCIALIST!)

The guy who said if you do it unto the "least of these" you do it unto me?

The guy who said you would enter heaven if you fed the hungry, clothed the naked, gave water to the thirst, visited the sick or those in prison?

Yeah.... THAT GUY.

I'm proud to stand with the "losers" against the worldly "winners." :hi:

[warm regards]

26. Well then, you stand with those who perpetrate poverty and starvation upon the world.

You see, it was capitalism that fed the poor while socialist nations starved. An example of this can be found in Korea, where those who live in the capitalist south thrive, while those in the socialist north depend on assistance from capitalist countries like the US.

You say that capitalism is a system for the rich man; however, capitalism is the system that raised the standard of living for poor people to heights no socialist system has ever dreamed of.

Thus, if you prefer, stand with the losers. For in a capitalist society, you are free to do as you choose. But know that by doing so, you are standing in the way of hope, progress, good will and the guy you mentioned in your post.

[Political Heretic]

27. Like I said, I'll stand with Jesus.... you know that guy right?

Jesus didn't practice capitalism. Nor advocate it. In face he preached the precise opposite.

[warm regards]

33. Unfortunately, we live amongst men (myself included) who are far less perfect than he was.

Socialism only works in heaven. Capitalism is the best thing for those of us who still live here on Earth.

[LanternWaste]

36. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

"Capitalism is the best thing for those of us who still live here on Earth..."

If and only if one is shortsighted enough to deny themselves and the planet progress. I imagine each dominant political or economic system of its day thought precisely the same way. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

I am interested though in your implication that Jesus supports capitalism. Could you expound on that...?

[warm regards]

37. I am not going to pretend that I know what sort of economic system that Jesus would support.

However, from what I know about Jesus, it seems reasonable to assume that he would favor an economic system that allows people the freedom to interact with one another as their own individual judgments, convictions, and interests dictate.

If we all agree there are no problems; but what if we disagree? Don't you think that Jesus would support a system that allows us to do so without the fear of violence or coercion by others? In my mind, that is the key to capitalism's superiority. And the recognition of life, liberty and property is what establishes and protects the right to differ.

[Marr]

42. "In a capitalist society, you are free to do as you choose".

You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Socialism and capitalism have nothing to do with freedom of the press or freedom of speech. There are oppressive capitalist states, and free and open socialist states. They're just economic systems.

[MattBaggins]

32. Inciting violence is not protected speech

[warm regards]

34. Well then, why don't you make a citizen's arrest?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

38. Hey, we had a banquet today.

Are you vying for the "cherry on top" position?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

40. Yum. Tasty cherry.

[LuckyTheDog]

18. I saw a REALLY scary clip Beck

He claimed that the ONLY American institutions worth respecting are the military and law enforcement.

I think Beck wants a Pinochet-style coup.

[upi402]

21. These useful idiots are the first sacrificed

A mistaken comment
A staged incitement killing
A message to others

The Devil that Beckkk naively kisses will get him on the flip. Beckkk should be careful what he asks for

[anonymous171]

19. Who cares? Dead teabaggers are the least of our problems. nt

[readmoreoften]

24. Do you think it's other teabaggers that the teabaggers are ready to kill? /nt

[anonymous171]

29. Teabaggers vs the US Federal Government. Which side do you think is going to have more casualties?

[readmoreoften]

22. What makes people think Beck is acting alone? He is on a major news station, after all.

It's not like he's some blogger. I mean, is it so hard to believe that there is a HARDCORE proto-fascist element in this country that's ready to drop the "proto"?

[agent46]

39. I've been asking myself that same question

Beck has backers, no doubt also writers, researchers, marketers, image consultants and a Rolodex filled with names of high level Republican bureaucrats. Beck is a brand and a political franchise. There's a lot of money involved. Nothing that's said or done would be left to chance. I've watched the guy. It's a one man show and it's rehearsed. Someone is being deliberate about the rabble rousing.

[will_in_chicago]

41. Useful idiots

The threat of political violence can be used to try to cow others. I find the threat of violence to be cowardly, and undemocratic.

However, I think that what worries me less than Beck or those who would be inspired by him are those who are backing him. So, while Beck and his followers are useful idiots, the backers are the ones who trouble me. There is nothing democratic about threatening violence, and it is cowardly. However, there are some in this country who may see feudalism as a good idea that perhaps should be revived.

[malaise]

28. Jon Stewart skewered his ignorant ass last night

It was freaking priceless.

[Kievan Rus]

43. How he's allowed to still be on the air is beyond me. Beck has officially lost it
