Mourn a Monday's mountain with a song: please come CAPTION Head Wreck!!!!

Head Wreck, from the open wound he calls a soul, is saying: "Francis Fox Piven may look like a grandmother to some people, America, but to me she's Satan incarnate, a great danger to the republic, the hole down which we're being sucked even while I speak. . . . And as our nation is being destroyed, while our nation is being shoved down the shredder, stuffed down the crapper, what do you think she is doing? . . . She is laughing, America, she is laughing and saying you have it coming. . . . Won't anything shut this woman up???? . . . Can't anything stop her???? . . . My critics should take a hard look at Professor Piven and stop dreaming up bogus charges about me, saying I stir up hatred and have violent rhetoric . . . Imagine!!!! . . . While this witch yet breathes!!!"


(The caption is creative, channeling Beck's essence with statements only slighly more venomous than his actual statements, but the death threats Francis Fox Piven, professor and conntributor to The Nation, has been receiving are not! I fear for this woman.)

1. "You know, America, Joe McCarthy might have had the right idea!"

2. Beck is inciting violence.

This falls under the category of Stochastic Terrorism.

"Stochastic terrorism is the use of mass communications to stir up random lone wolves to carry out violent or terrorist acts that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable.

This is what occurs when Bin Laden releases a video that stirs random extremists halfway around the globe to commit a bombing or shooting."

3. Piven's death threats reported in New York Times:

One such threat, published as an anonymous comment on The Blaze, read, “Somebody tell Frances I have 5000 roundas ready and I’ll give My life to take Our freedom back.” (The spelling and capitalizing have not been changed.)

But the way Fox is handling this is frighteningly telling:


<snip>

“Mr. Beck is putting Professor Piven in actual physical danger of a violent response,” the group wrote.

Fox News disagrees. Joel Cheatwood, a senior vice president, said Friday that Mr. Beck would not be ordered to stop talking about Ms. Piven on television. He said Mr. Beck had quoted her accurately and had never threatened her.

“ ‘The Glenn Beck Program,’ probably above and beyond any on television, has denounced violence repeatedly,” Mr. Cheatwood said.

He said he had no knowledge of the threats against Ms. Piven, and noted that The Blaze was operated independently of Fox News.

It seems like only a matter of time until she is violently confronted.
