‘You’re going to have to shoot them in the head,’ Beck said of Democratic leaders
page: 5share:
Why are so many people arguing over the subtle nuance of Beck's tripe in this thread.
He is inciting violence, whether tongue in cheek, sarcastic, the not...
He is inciting violence.
I see people on ATS constantly state things that are similar to "having to shoot people in the head" (more or less), in order to rid or further an agenda; and those people are post banned and/or laughed off of the boards by most people.
Glenn Beck has one job and one job only and that is to make anyone who seems somewhat "radical" in their beliefs look like a complete nut.
It is no surprise that he signed a 40 million dollar contract before he hit it big. (to be a "Rodeo Clown": his words not mine)
He is obviously being used to fill an agenda. He latches onto to subtle outlandish elements found within the current community of "conspiracy theorists", a community promoted by the intelligence agencies mind you (more on that in a sec), and then blows them out of proportion like a total windbag, and our community winds up looking as bat%^&* crazy as that fool. Guilt by association.
Now onto the community being a creation of the CIA.
Disinformation is useful. The more that TPTB can control a community through creating controlled opposition (Beck, Alex Jones, Freeman, Jordan Maxwell, Icke, etc...), then the outcome of the chaos is known and owned.
Think people.

Nothing better to do? Really?

It is true. If somebody goes too far and ignores all rules and laws, death is the only solution.
Maybe I've just been playing assassin's creed for too long.

He is NOT insighting anything,he is stateing a fact.When the radical left finds out they are being used to further Obama,s agenda and they are
not going to get there way as they were told "THEY" the " radical left" are going to come after the people that used them,the progressive left.
Any body else that is not involved in this hateful insanity can just sit back and watch these wingnut's destory each other.
As much as I can't stand Beck anymore this thread is nothing but an "hate Beck" thread by the very type of person I have discribed to you and possiably you if you don't get it.

I think that you underestimate my comprehension skills. I understand what he is saying, but you are not paying attention to the reinforcement.
This is psychology, which you might be unfamiliar, but his actions are what behaviorists refer to as conditioning.
His exact words taken with no context speak for themselves, along with Alex Jone's screams and girlish cries and Jordan Maxwell's outright lies.
He is creating an abominable persona that then becomes associated with the anyone with similar BELIEFS (and several of those beliefs have been associated with a groupified set of people known as "conspiracy theorists").
Thank you for the reply.

you have NO clue what you are talking about. Brainwashed by MSM funded by the right wing cabal. Congrats.
You've lost all credibility here. Congratulations.
Saul Alinsky's 'daughter' ... the marxist luuuuuved her so much he offered her a job.
"There Is Only the Fight" .. the Hillary thesis (manifesto)
And of course her activities since then confirm what direction she wants to go in.
(geee .. sounds a lot like Obama)
Now that you have yet again been proven wrong, perhaps you'd like to actually get on topic???

I can't lie... as I saw the thread title, I had a bit of chuckle. I imagined a fat kid running into the house yelling, "Dad!! Glenn said to shoot
the Dems in the head!"
No offense to the OP, but this thread comes off like tattle telling. Plus yeah.. if this was said, it was said in June 2010. That would have been the time to condemn him, not January of 2011.

I don't give 2 craps about politics or beck, but this clip seems like it is taken way out of context and not what you are making it to be OP.
And plus, this statement would of been from last year, your comparison with him and the shooting is laughable, you have my pity.

Context is everything. I'm not a big Beck fan, but this is just laughable.

You haven't seen the video clip, but I have. And it wasn't taken out of context. Often adolescent girls refuse to accept the truth about guys they like. But the truth is the truth, no matter who it comes from.

Discussing Democratic leaders during a June broadcast for the Republican Fox News Channel, conspiracy host Glenn Beck told his followers they would have to "shoot them in the head" in order to bring an end to an alleged "communist" agenda.
You're going to have to shoot them in the head. But warning, they may shoot you."
Ss has Glen Beck gone bat**** crazy? I know he said this back in June. I wonder if he himself has bought a 9mm to go hunting Democratic leader that were elected. If you voted for a Democrat; does that mean you are also fair game?
Beck has some listeners/viewers that are as goofy as he is and just might be influenced by his hateful rhetoric.
They believe in communism. They believe and have called for a revolution. You're going to have to shoot them in the head. But warning, they may shoot you.
Most of the talk of "revolution" I hear comes from the right wing conservatives. I wonder how many advertisers will bail on beck this time?
Or is Beck secretly working for the Feds because he knows this type of talk will eventually lead to gun restrictions.

This is a bad hit piece... seriously...
I dont really watch Glenn Beck anymore, but he is quoting communists.
"They want revolution. You have to shoot them in the head.(referring to communist agenda)
But warning, they(we) are gonna shoot you back. "
Thats what he was trying to say.

You've pretty much nailed it. I think american's as a whole (and most of ATS included) are pretty easy to fool. Look how many people are running up to defend Beck even though it's pretty easy to see what he's about. People defend Jones even though he has been caught in lies on his show constantly. Many people defend them because they are followers. They represent agendas these people have latched on to and will defend to their last breath because they have invested their ego's into it.
Don't worry ATS you are going to get what you want. Obama is a one-termer and meant to be that. You probably won't get Palin, but you will get another neo-con. We'll have another war. The top 10% of this country will further consolidate their wealth so they end up with close to 90% of all the assets (instead of the paltry 70% they have now). This still won't be a problem to many of you because any mention of such facts is Socialism.
The more i listen to the average American the more I think it's time to expatriate.

This is another example of not having ALL THE FACTS! The link posted only show PART of what Glenn was saying and when you listen to it ALL you get the context of what he was saying. He was in no way, shape, or form telling his viewers to shoot democrats in the head!

Perhaps you should read all the thread. Especially the post where I admitted the article was taken out of context.
sheesh....

Simply put- LEAVE, we would be better off without you. You say viewers of Beck are just "followers". Who do you follow, I wonder?
Once again I must ask why some people get so caught up in how much others make?
Is it fair?Hmmmmmmm............not so much unfortunately. But then again much of life is not fair, get over it already. Try to worry a little more about ones own finances and less about others.
If government would get out of business the Free Market can and will work. The Government is actually the problem. Not the "average American" your fellow citizen, not Beck, or Jones. The Government and their need to help their banker buddies.
Say what you want, Government is the problem, Republicans as well as Democrats. You can help fix this problem or do as you suggest and expatriate, PLEASE.

So go already. Bye bye now. We need real citizens who will sit up and take notice, then stand up and do something about it. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Not working. Taking peoples words and twisting them
into what you want them to be is ignorant.
Unfortunately it is not a fail.
Look how many people on this board think he said to shoot democrats in the head.
People on this board are supposed to know how to deny ignorance; if the people on this board can't figure out he didn't say anyone should go out and shoot democrats in the head, then the general public won't be able to figure it out either.

I watched the show live.
Where does he say *shoot democrats in the head*?
Adolescent girls, truth about guys, truth, truth, truth,
no matter how many times you post *truth* in your post
will not make what YOU say truth..
Something about adolescent girls?? The truth about guys, what??
What the hell are YOU talking about?

Yea, pretty much everyone who listens to Beck questions nothing of what he says. This is similar to what followers of other personalties do. Your first sentence was so predictable as to be laughable. I knew you'd say it. The followers of the right-wing always shoot from the hip with that crap. I don't care about your patriotism. It won't feed my family, it won't mend wounds my child may get when you fools finally wig out and start shooting each other. I am an american by chance of birth. That is not an accomplishment.
