Rightwingers Responses to (Beck's Target) Frances Fox Piven. I Fear for this Woman's Life.
Beck is not the only rightwinger going after Fox Piven. Breitbart's minions have done the same. First, some Background on Frances Fox Piven Here:

The ACORN Conspiracy, Continued
Kyle Olson from Andrew Breitbart's Big Government 'Punks' Frances Fox Piven:

From Media Matters, now take a look at these responses directed at Fox Piven from the Beck followers:

Frances Fox Piven appeared on today's edition of Democracy Now! to respond to Beck's "nutty" claims and discuss the threats that have been made against her as a result. Watch: (Democracy Now! video at link)

Below are screenshots of the threatening statements mentioned in the Democracy Now! segment that were posted in the comments section of an article on Glenn Beck's The Blaze titled "Frances Fox Piven Rings In The New Year By Calling For Violent Revolution" -- all of which had not been deleted as of 3 p.m. ET

Somebody tell Frances I have 5000 roundas ready and I'll give My life to take Our freedom back. Taking Her life and any who would enslave My chidlren and grandchildren and call violence should meet their demise as They wish. George Washington didn't use His freedom of speech to defeat the British. He shot them.

She's getting older...maybe death panels would be a good idea after all.

I believe that when the laws of this great nation fail it's own citizens, and all the voting and talking has been done..."We The People" have a very serious choice to make...I for one believe our fore fathers would expect nothing less! As I mentioned in previous posts...ONE SHOT...ONE KILL! "We The People" will need to stand up for what is right...a few well placed marksmen with high powered rifles...then there would not be any violence....those spineless evil people will not show their faces in the light of day again!(hummm...sounds a little like the terrorist attack the Eric Holder and Obama told Americans we could withstand)

I am our of work. I do not blame myself or my ex employer. I blame these fools that preach redistribution of wealth and the government that practices it. The violence that she preaches is not the answer. Attacking police officers and destroying property is not the answer.
Although, this being a new year, maybe we should start paying attention to what she says. Maybe we should go after the people. We should blowup Piven's office and home. And while at it. Keel haul Bernardine Dohrn under one of her freedom shops and blow up Bill Ayers' house cars and anywhere he can be found. I could go on with the new black panthers and the rest of the hate preachers. You get the idea. These fools better hope that we who believe in the constitution, rule of law, and the American way of life, don't decide to act as they suggest.

1. Did you ever notice...
that those who are always spouting "We the people" are also the ones who advocate violence?

I wonder if they think that by uttering three words, it somehow absolves them of anything evil they would say or do.

3. There is nothing inherently wrong with using the term
We the People. It's that the phrase has been hijacked and framed to foment hate and bigotry.

5. Yes, exactly
reflecting on this post, I was just thinking the same. That they think they are somehow absolved because they fancy themselves 'patriots.' The Cloward-Piven conspiracy, slyly crafted and insidious among the rightwingers and tea 'baggers, does well to instill this exact manner of thinking. It's the basis for a lot of wingers and 'baggers believing they are 'fighting' Socialists/Socialism.

2. If anything happens to her even the liberal media will be hard pressed to deny the connection
Of course they still will deny it but the contortions they go through to do so will be beyond anything they have done so far.

6. I don't know, but, take a look at some of her hate mail...
On the afternoon of January 6, Frances Fox Piven, a distinguished professor, legendary activist, writer and longtime contributor to this magazine, received an e-mail from an unknown correspondent. There was no text, just a subject line that read: DIE YOU CUNT. It was not the first piece of hateful e-mail Piven had gotten, nor would it be the last. One writer told her to "go back to Canada you dumb bitch"; another ended with this wish: "may cancer find you soon."

I hope she is being careful.
