Beck to Palin: "Look into protection for your family...attempt on you could bring the republic down"

[jefferson_dem]

Now she's the victim. Oy.

"But please look into protection for your family. An attempt on you could bring the republic down."

-- Glenn Beck, giving advice to Sarah Palin in the aftermath of the Arizona shootings

1. Is he out of his fucking mind??

No one really gives a shit about you anymore Ms. Palin. Your show was canceled.

[Shandris]

5. No, he's not out of his mind.

He's placed in his follower's mind the vision of a left-wing retaliatory 'strike' on Palin (as if that were somehow something we would consider, let alone condone, let alone DO) and amped up the fear that anyone who is trying to place blame (where it belongs) on her is now actually attempting to BRING DOWN THE REPUBLIC.

It's his call for a self-fulfilled prophecy of revolution. And I've no doubt it's quite intentional.

[spanone]

2. wow, he does have her on a high pedestal

[nmbluesky]

3. Also another palin hates violence. she talked to Beck..

4. They'll find her somewhere in the back country of Alaska with...

B. O. carved in her forehead backwards.

"Bring the republic down"?

Dear God, we've had four SITTING PRESIDENTS assassinated, and still the republic stood. Now harm befalling Sarah Palin will be the straw that broke the republic's back? I hate these people.

[eleny]

6. A classic response - try to turn the tables. Fail!

[AspenRose]

7. I'm so sick of this shit. Enough is enough.

Clearly these people have no conscience.

[ck4829]

8. She can't even keep her own "reality" show on the air

If anyone has her on a hit list, then they are just as much of an idiot who thinks that she is tied to the security of the republic.

[efhmc]

9. The worse thing that can happen to her and the best thing for

our country is for her to be revealed as the stupid, violent self promoter that she is.

[bushisanidiot]

10. and Beck feeds into the parnoid right once again.

he is telling, not just Palin, but other repukes to arm themselves. he desperately WANTS the right to be "victims" to justify any violence committed on their part.

[Horse with no Name]

11. They are VERY EFFECTIVE victims

and their base will buy into it.

I'm dealing on that with some folks IRL. Long story short--they killed their kids by reckless driving, knew the sheriff, accident reports falsified, won huge lawsuit with millions of dollars, now they are trying to drag their dead children through court for sympathy so they can steal my grandchild. They are very very very very very good at being victims. I don't underestimate that from them and the progressive community should be very careful not to allow these hatemongers to turn themselves into sympathetic victims either.

[LynneSin]

12. We're liberals, we don't solve problems with guns

What an idiot - both of them.

[kctim]

13. Kind of sounds like

he is worried about the right-wing response if such a terrible thing were to happen.
Interesting thing to ponder.

[The Backlash Cometh]

14. Morons.

They still don't get it. Our choice of weapons are vastly different. They use automatic rifles, we use wit and satire.

[polmaven]

23. With a little logic thown in

for good measure.

[JDPriestly]

15. No one is going to harm Sarah Palin.

It just isn't going to happen. That's not the way Palin's political opponents think or act.

We on the left grumble and complain and campaign about the direction of the country and how slow Obama's change is. We hope that the Justice Department will finally wake up. But there isn't even a threat or discussion of violence because we on this side are rational and know that violence never improves things.

The most physical that I have seen people on the left become is to waterboard THEMSELVES in public, chain themselves or climb or try cross to fences or barriers, throw messy but harmless substances at people and scream and yell. Oh,yes. On rare occasions, some rabid leftists carry handcuffs and attempt "citizens' arrests."

Rush, based on the historical record, you are safe from physical assault from leftists for the rest of your life. No one on the left has inflicted any damage to any prominent figure in the US for a very, very long time.

The Weather Underground and the Black Panthers disappeared long, long ago. They just could not draw much interest in what they were doing.

[NotThisTime]

16. He's just freaking crazy himself....

[Tsiyu]

17. Call him Bloody Beck

That's what I'm calling him now

And the republic brought down if the Queen is threatened?

In your wet dreams, Bloody Beck. :rofl:

[cutlassmama]

18. He's delusional.

[DonCoquixote]

19. Her death would not bring down the republic

If anything it might heal things.

Of course, i would not call for it, as it would make her a martyr.

[niyad]

20. weird thought--as crazy as those people are, would not surprise me in the least if one of THEM did

something like that, to set a match to the tinderbox.

[Contrary1]

21. Look into protection?

Oh please...the woman goes nowhere without guards.

I think the Palins' safest bet would be to barricade themselves in their home, and have their faithful servants cater to their basic needs.

Sarah, that camera man from Fox may be in fact a hired assassin!!! Refuse all interviews.

Your phone may be tapped!!! Talk to no one...ever!

There may be a terrorist on that plane gunning for you!!! You can no longer fly anywhere. Even those aerial moose/caribou/wolf hunts are off limits!!!

Your meal may be poisoned!!! No more restaurants for you!

Most importantly, feel the fear you love to spread.

Please, Sarah...just stay home.

[StreetKnowledge]

22. Glenn, Shut the fuck up.

As much as many of us would love to see Palin disappear forever, none of us are going to do what the brain-dead dipshit in Arizona did. You're just making a mess bigger, numbskull.

And Palin is not the messiah to anybody but you. Most of us think she's a moron, trying to get somewhere on simple-minded rhetoric, slogans and being proud to know absolutely shit all about the world beyond her own little bubble. People like her are America's curse, not her savior.
