Piece says Beck is stoking fire and turning people into vigilantes.


We're going to see more attempts at vigilante violence during the Age of Obama simply because the right-wing media, lead by Beck, continue to gleefully (albeit irresponsibly) stoke dangerous fires with the kind of relentlessly incendiary rhetoric that has no match in terms of modern day, mainstream use in American politics or media.

Just listen to Glenn Beck:

* Progressives "are sucking the blood out of the republic" and are "gonna start getting more and more violent."

* "To the day I die, I am going to be a progressive hunter."

* "[Y]ou will have to shoot me in the forehead before you take away my gun" and "before I acquiesce and be silent."

* "This game is for keeps"; "[Y]ou can shoot me in the head ... but there will be 10 others that line up."

* "There is a coup going on. There is a stealing of America"; "God help us in an emergency."'

And don't forget about the unhinged response when health care reform was passed in March: "Get down on your knees and pray. Pray. It's September 11th all over again, except that we didn't have the collapsing buildings." After financial reform passed last week, Beck told his audience, "Your republic is over."

And what was the Huffington post doing for 8 years while Bush was president?

Get ready for the 1st amendment to go bye bye.

Glenn Beck is slamming the Progressives (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabian_Society) hard and they're scared. Glenn Beck isn't advocating vigilantism or murder.

When he starts about killing liberal babies, I might pay attention to Huff.

Someone elsewhere said he's race baiting, but I don't see it. Although, racist and race baiting have taken on new meanings, so maybe he is according to the "new age" definitions.

I DRV and watch Beck every night. The left is delusional about what he is actually saying.

Race baiting? He has had 4 black founding father fridays, if anything the is going out of his way to be PC.

It's really becoming apparent, that beck wants to focus on the democrats, instead of looking up dirt on the republicans who do the samething.

When all a host can do is attack "liberals" you know that they're playing "the game (http://www.sovereignlife.com/essays/07-06-04.html)".

The country is more polarized. This is reality.

I predict the violence will begin when millions of people start to run out of money and food. It is not possible to jail 15-30 million more people.

I'm pretty sure on one of his last episodes - he was specifically talking about NOT resorting to violence.

HuffPo is getting desperate, and becoming increasingly irrelevant with the more of this pathetic BS they're pulling.

That being said, I don't entirely trust Beck.

Hmm, people who go to a park and wave Gadsden flags, or busloads of people showing up and banging on some mid-level executive's door demanding justice while scaring the wits out of the person's kid.

Horrible..sorry, but when he starts to attack the statists on both sides of the fence, then i will listen. So tired of this polarization from both sides.

So are the Black Founding Fathers on the right or left? I couldn't tell.

Thank you for contributing to the spirit of faction by ignoring Beck's references to T. Roosevelt being part of the progressive movement.

From Washington's farewell address:

Towards the preservation of your government, and the permanency of your present happy state, it is requisite, not only that you steadily discountenance irregular oppositions to its acknowledged authority, but also that you resist with care the spirit of innovation upon its principles, however specious the pretexts. One method of assault may be to effect, in the forms of the Constitution (http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/usconst.asp), alterations which will impair the energy of the system, and thus to undermine what cannot be directly overthrown. In all the changes to which you may be invited, remember that time and habit are at least as necessary to fix the true character of governments as of other human institutions; that experience is the surest standard by which to test the real tendency of the existing constitution of a country; that facility in changes, upon the credit of mere hypothesis and opinion, exposes to perpetual change, from the endless variety of hypothesis and opinion; and remember, especially, that for the efficient management of your common interests, in a country so extensive as ours, a government of as much vigor as is consistent with the perfect security of liberty is indispensable. Liberty itself will find in such a government, with powers properly distributed and adjusted, its surest guardian. It is, indeed, little else than a name, where the government is too feeble to withstand the enterprises of faction, to confine each member of the society within the limits prescribed by the laws, and to maintain all in the secure and tranquil enjoyment of the rights of person and property.



I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally.



This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy.

The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.
