Has anyone heard Beck today especially after Media Matters interview?

[redirish28]

Just wondering if he is laying low OR is FAUX news spinning this to save Beck?

1. what did he say?

[napi21]

2. I think he's off today & tomorrow to get tests. Something about

peripheral neuropathy in his hands & feet. All I heard was that he was taking some time off so maybe it's the whole week.

5. Hope he's well

It'd be too hard to make fun of him if he's sick (physically).

8. somebody linked a story about this, didn't they? here's one from SPLC

The media watchdog Media Matters for America today released audio of an interview conducted with Byron Williams, the would-be terrorist who last July was arrested after a shootout with cops on his way to San Francisco, where he allegedly planned to kill employees at the offices of the ACLU and the Tides Foundation.

The interview and the accompanying article, by Pacifica Radio producer John Hamilton, illuminates the role Fox News and specifically Fox host Glenn Beck played in turning Williams’ attention toward the groups and convincing him that they were at the center of a vast plot to destroy the country.

“I would have never started watching Fox News if it wasn’t for the fact that Beck was on there,” Williams tells Hamilton. “And it was the things that he did, it was the things he exposed that blew my mind.”

........................

......In the interview from prison, Williams describes Beck as being “like a schoolteacher on TV.” This contradicts statements made by Williams in another interview with the Examiner, in which he claims he already knew everything Beck discussed on his show.

9. ''Conservative media figures have history of violent rhetoric''

In recent years, conservative media figures on Fox News and elsewhere have frequently used violent rhetoric in criticizing progressives.

Beck talks about "put poison" in Pelosi's wine. Glenn Beck stated:

BECK: So, Speaker Pelosi, I just wanted to -- you gonna drink your wine? Are you blind? Do those eyes not work? There you -- I want you to drink it now. Drink it. Drink it. Drink it.

I really just wanted to thank you for having me over here to wine country. You know, to be invited, I thought I had to be a major Democratic donor or a longtime friend of yours, which I'm not.

By the way, I put poison in your -- no, I -- I look forward to all the policy discussions that we're supposed to have -- you know, on health care, energy reform, and the economy.
