What exactly would it take for Billo and Beck to resign?
Edited on Sun Jan-09-11 01:05 AM by mahina
They incite people to mass murder, and go back to work on the air the next day like anybody else. Shower, make coffee, put their socks on, get in the car, clock in or whatever, and sit down to another days's work of dividing our country against itself.

They say they love America, but they sure hate Americans.

Is there anything under the sun that would make them say, "Thank you all for listening but I realized I have to end this, I'm sorry for the harm I have caused, goodbye"?

Anything at all? I poked around in the darkest corners for a few minutes and found a page with these links to crimes committed between President Obama's election and July 2009: http://www.politicalforum.com/united-states/86990-7-politically-motivated-murders-right-wing-extremists-since-obama-ran-office.html

* Gun nut who posted Glenn Beck and NRA videos on racists websites ambushes 3 cops "who wanted to take his guns away"

http://www.adl.org/learn/extremism_i...sm_in_the_News

* Bitter Right wing extremist walks into Unitarian Church and kill two "liberals"
Leaves suicide note blaming liberals for harming America.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jul/28/usa

* Right wing extremist drives 50 miles to Arkansas State Democratic Headquarters prentends to want to volunteer...murders Chairman in his office. A man he has never met.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/0..._n_118720.html

* Doctor who performed abortions in Kansas shot dead. Killer congratulated and defended by right wing extremist websites.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,523581,00.html



If it was liberals murdering fascists, we'd never hear the end of it. These guys behind the mic are inciting murder. There has to be a legal way to stop them from calling open season. It's like the Hutus and the Tutsis.

Still waiting for Billo and Beck to stand down in shame. Waiting...

2. A sense of shame is necessary to suffer from it.
I don't think they have a sense of shame. Perhaps a transplant.

5. Don't forget the pickup truck driver arrested
in Oakland who had a "hit list" and some number of guns and a literal truck load of ammunition. I think he was from Kentucky or somewhere around there.

11. Nothing short of
death or a physical ailment which renders them incapable of doing their shows.

Actually, I take that back - the threat of loss of substantial amounts of their money (as in being fined $500,000 for every minute they are on the air) would silence them. You can't give them enough money to silence them but threatening to take away their money (with some real teeth behind it) would silence them. The only thing that stops a mob boss is a bigger, badder mob boss.

IMO these criminal events are EXACTLY what they want to happen. They are sadistic greedy power-hunger psychopaths who have no empathy, compassion, or shame. They consider ANY number of deaths (as long as those deaths are not their own or their very, very, very small circle of loved ones) are an insignificant price to pay for increasing their power and wealth. But they are too cowardly and devious to get their own hands dirty. They believe that if the cold civil war which has been going on in this country for 30 years turns into a hot civil war, they will be safe and they will emerge the victors ... and they would welcome it with open arms. They don't necessarily want to be the supreme totalitarian ruler of the US - they just want one of "theirs" to be that person. They don't want the pesky barriers of democracy or law and order or human rights to interfere with their lives or their accumulation of wealth. They don't love America - they love themselves and they know professing to love America is the only way they can keep people listening to them. In a way they are the Leni Rieffenstahl's of the fascist takeover of the US - and they revel in their role in intensifying people's fear, manipulating that fear into hatred, and directing that hatred toward violence.

13. Fear.
Fear of losing MONEY.

Make them pay, inform their sponsors that you will refuse to use their products as long as they support domestic terrorism espoused by O'Reilly and Beck.

15. They'll quit if they stop getting paid.
That's why they're doing it, to get paid. If they don't get paid, they'll stop.

17. Their mother (wife or child) is a bystander and is shot by a right-wing nut case
Then, maybe, just maybe they'll see the light. People like that care only for themselves, so until it actually hits home, they can keep egging on the war.
