Well, I certainly won't be listening to Glenn Beck anymore.

Prior to this stunt this is what Beck said the first of last month.



He must be off his meds.

No, advocating any type of physical threat crosses over the line,
especially for a media personality to broadcast... Beck really f'd up there!

Yes, politicians cause a lot of harm, especially the ones with good intentions
who unleash massive negative unintended consequences. They no longer even
have the common courtesy to utter the warning catch phrase, "for the children".

Yikes, I just watched that YT...

LOL, now he will get the SS interrogation flashlight shined up his six, and it might
be a very long time before allowed near a "high-powered" microphone again.

He might have to wear the Dr. Hannibal Lecter jacket and mask combo outfit for
a while and just say, "okey dokey" as Clarice Starling asks all the best questions.

Beck is a useful idiot whose usefulness, for the Globalist, is no longer needed.

He's coming around?

He went full circle.

SiriusXM is a private company, so if they think it's bad for them, they can punish or fire Beck at any time.

On the other hand, are these serious (realistic) threats? Are they even threats, or just stupid talk? Does anyone believe that Beck will be shooting or stabbing anyone? Does talk like this become dangerous when the speaker is influential? Will Beck be charged with a crime? Issued a restraining order?

Had you or I made that utterance we'd be locked in a deep dark hole.........

I'm no Beck fan but I did listen to that segment and I really would never have even considered that they may have been talking about assassination unless someone else had first made the accusation. I still think this has been blown way out of proportion.

Glenn Beck Tells Ron Paul That Paul's Supporter's Threatened His Life

Dr. Paul then replies, "well, I can only in general. I have no idea who the people are. I have never heard about this; I haven't seen this before but all I can do is address the subject of violence. I'm committed to nonviolence, no initiation of aggression. These are my political viewpooints; I believe in political change coming about in the mode of Ghandi and Martin Luther King through non violence .. soIi reject anybody who would use violence... so I don't have to endorse what they do, and if they try to get away with attaching my name to what they do, it's wong."
...
Beck continues, "Okay. heres.. heres what, the people who are.. at least the ones that i have met and recieved tons of mail- and I can read them to you if you want sir.. where they're calling for my death.. They say that i am part of a 9/11 conspiracy. And I have watched the interviews with you. you don't leave any room for any doubt on a 911 conspiracy. But id just like to make it clear , and ask you, and I don't believe these need explanation, .. but may I just run through these 911 conspiracies?..."
Little mention has been made of these alleged 'death threats' against Beck since then. If there has been any arrest, indictment, charges filed, trial, or conviction of the threat makers, it has not been reported by a single news outlet. This leaves the discerning observer no other choice than to conclude that the entire thing may have been fabricated. If the threats really occured, and were posted via youtube video or email, the person could have easily been tracked down and arrested. Case in point:

It might be justice if he was, regardless.

Beck has made up such things in the past against him to suit his own purpose. It doesn't strike me as far fetched he got a little cocky about lying and misleading about such things, and did something illegal.

Whole reason sirus has him off the air for only one week. legal liability.

"With the feckless, spineless Congress we have, who will stand in the way of Donald Trump overstepping his constitutional authority as president?" Thor asked in the 15-minute interview, the full audio of which was obtained by NBC News.
"If Congress won't remove him from office, what patriot will step up and do that if he oversteps his mandate as president, his constitutional-granted authority, I should say, as president. If he oversteps that, how do we get him out of office?" Thor continued, adding:

"And I don't think there is a legal means available. I think it will be a terrible, terrible position the American people will be in to get Trump out of office, because you won't be able to do it through Congress."

Beck responded: "I would agree with you on that, and I don't think you actually have the voices — we've been talking about, we've been talking about this off-air for a while."

I'm no Beck fan, nor am I a Trump supporter, but I don't know how one can fail to see that assassination is clearly implied here.

Of course there is a difference in reading a transcript and listening to the audio. The transcript is definitely more damning. All I am saying is that if I had heard this on the radio, I would have glossed over it not having thought that they were talking about assassination. In listening to the audio, to me it sounded like they were talking about if/when we elect someone who decides they want to be a dictator (in this situation, potentially Trump) who is going to step up and do something about the massive increases in executive power said person begins to accumulate. How will we get that person out of office once they have accumulated that power? I would not have jumped to the conclusion that they were talking about assassination and/or violence. It just didn't sound like that to me, based on the audio segment. I suppose that's just a matter of opinion.

This is exactly the type of speech that Trump is consistently allowed to get away with. The media reaction to these statements would have Trump supporters bugging out.

It isn't only Beck that is getting away with suggestively calling for Trump's assassination.

'We're going to kill Donald Trump': Shocking video shows parents teaching their toddler daughter to say she wants to murder the Republican presidential candidate

Shocking new video footage shows two parents teaching their toddler to say she wants to kill Donald Trump.

The young girl, who is sat surrounded by dolls, is heard telling her mom and dad, who are off camera: 'We're going to kill Donald Trump.'

'Oh is that a fact?' Her father asked in the video posted by a right-wing blogger. 'Why are we going to kill Donald Trump?' her mother chimed in.

'Cause he's bad,' said three-year-old, whose identity has been obscured for her own privacy.


Shocking new video footage shows two parents teaching their toddler to say she wants to kill Donald Trump (pictured on the left is right-wing blogger and conspiracy theorist Mark Dice who claimed the family were 'no different from (militant Islamist group) Hamas')

Her mother, who is believed to be a Mexican immigrant living in America, is heard whispering in agreement, 'that's right'.

When asked why she thought Trump was bad, the girl replied it was: 'Cause he wants to take away our family.'

'That's mean, huh?' her dad replies. 'Mean Donald Trump.'

When the youngster's mother asks her what they were going to do about Trump, her daughter fires back: 'We have to kill him,' as her parents burst into laughter.

The video has been posted by right-wing blogger and conspiracy theorist Mark Dice who claimed the family were 'no different from (militant Islamist group) Hamas, raising their children to grow up to be suicide bombers'.

'Now Mexican Americans are doing the same thing to their children, encouraging them to want to kill the possible next president of the United States,' he said at the end of the video on Infowars.com.

'This is the sort of trash,' the staunch Trump supporter said, referring to the toddler and her parents, 'Donald Trump wants deported from this country.

That is how I understood it, the assassination is conditional on Trump being a dictator which is illegal. Essential one dangerous and illegal act begets another dangerous and self defensive act. But leave it to the censors among us to cheer the take down of a journalist doing a thought experiment on the radio. Had this been a guy they liked, they would have been the first on here mourning the death of free speech.

If fact, I think we should all support the idea of taking out ANY president who has jumped the constitutional restraints set up for him by the constitution. But oh no, we criticize someone with the balls to say something that needs to be said and try to make him out as a maniac.

He is truly coming around if he extends this idea to ALL presidents. I hope he comes out and doubles down on what he said and please do not apologize to the censors cos you said nothing wrong.

I like David Webb better anyway.
