Glenn Beck Stands By His Comments On Protesters: ‘It Ends In Violence With Marxists Every Single Time’

video
» 156 comments

Quite a lot has been said about the Occupy Wall Street protesters both positive and negative but it’s unsurprising that Glenn Beck’s comments from yesterday quickly went viral. Out of everything that’s been said, warning that the protesters would “drag us out into the streets and kill us” kind of stood out. Today on his show, Beck spoke about the outcry over his comments. However, he didn’t budge, steadfastly standing by what he said.

At first it seemed like the segment would take a different track as co-host Pat Gray began accusing those in the media of misconstruing what Beck said. However, Beck didn’t seem to want to play along. While he agreed with Gray that he meant that the situation would spiral into violence instead of happening right away, when Gray gave him the “out” that he didn’t mean the “idiots in the park” specifically, Beck countered that, no, he did mean some of them.

Beck then compared everyone disregarding the seriousness of the situation to Ray Nagin before Hurricane Katrina and said that listening to those people was “dangerous to [his listeners'] survival.”

He explained that the dangerous people were Marxists and then listed the violence that had been perpetrated by Marxists in the past. And he explained that, after studying the man for three years, he could say with certainty that President Obama was a Marxist as well and that the people he surrounded himself with were dangerous revolutionaries.

    Let’s just compare the arrest records thus far of tea partiers vs. the glorified Marxist street theater troupe.

    Marxist street theater troupe – Hundreds of arrests for a variety of crimes, including fighting police officers, shutting down the Brooklyn Bridge, etc., with more to come.

    Tea Partiers – Count them on one hand. If you can.

    Game. Set. Match.

    I’d rather stand with the OWS protesters than with Beck’s racist fans on the Blaze…

    “Van Jones is another “shining” example of the difference between a black person and a n*****”

    “It’s fools like those 2 that cause the word n******” to still be used!”

    “Niggaclowns! It is to laugh!”

    “Can we use the “N Word” now?”

    And this was just one page.

    I agree. I’ve boarded up my house and bought a few more guns.
    Beck tells me nothing but the truth.
    He would never use hyperbole or say things just to scare me.
    The way I see it, OWS protesters will begin breaking into homes, hunting down and killing conservatives and blowing up bank buildings within three months.

    The best story is about the way the OWS groups have been protecting their free food. They’ve been awash in so much fresh gourmet food, donated from their “poor” supporters – smoked salmon last night, in fact – that they’ve attracted all manner of “freeloaders” – as they call them. Isn’t it funny that the guys that want to tear it all down, open the borders, take away property and redistribute wealth… are jealously guarding theirs? There’s no END to the entertainment and hypocrisy from these things. The violence is already making them unpopular; especially locally… give it another month, and no one will give them the time of day. That’s when they’ll get really violent; when they feel they aren’t being listened too anymore.

    The only major thing that has gotten passed was a healthcare bill.  If I’m not mistaken it hasn’t eroded civil liberties like the fucking Patriot Act did.  So I’m sorry if I don’t buy that Marxists have taken over anything.  The god-damned Republicans have obstructed anything from happening in this country which includes a sorely needed jobs bill that they have no alternative for.  The “lefties” in this country are actually trying to make life better for everyone, including you sorry fucking repiglicans.  Don’t forget to check the closet and under your bed for the scary non-existent Marxists, you fucking pussy.

    But that’s because after a few hours of sitting on their prodigious haunches, “protesting” the Kenyan Hitler, all your average Teabagger can manage is to waddle & weeze their way back to the motor home, change their depends, wolf down some lard & sweet tea, and take a 12-hour nap.  By the time the poor things rise, take their BP & cholesterol pills, fry up some more bacon, and pull their shorts back up to around their nipples, the cops have been off duty for 6 hours, and everyone else figure it’s over (and it is).  Plus, what’s the fun in arresting herds of cattle & sheep…well, the firehoses would be hilarious.

    So the Dept of Justice is functioning well? The Fed isn’t printing money like Zimbabwe? We haven’t nationalized companies or banks? And the 230,000 new govt jobs that were largely political hires are nothing to worry about? There simply is a lot more going on than you are aware of. Which is why you’re the perfect tool.

    You refuse to understand that there is a fundamental difference in approach to creating jobs; Republicans know how, Democrats don’t. So when you throw around all this, “waaaaah republicans won’t let us spend money to create jobs waaaaah” you’re assuming a level of success that really isn’t there.

    The fact is, your agenda is so wildly extreme and unpopular that you can’t even snark away the few RINO republicans and you can’t even get your own party to go along on your suicide march.

    Remember Bush signed the Obama Reid Pelosi Clinton bailout bill – we’ve been operating under leftist economic models since 2007. Its only made it worse. You don’t get to sit here and criticize others for not following your recommendation of more poison.

    They like those big government Democrats because OWS protesters want a complete overhaul of our government and economic systems – get rid of capitalism and move to a more government sanctioned economy with equality for everyone … aka more of a socialist system. So they are anarchist in the sense that they want an overhaul of the status quo.

    I meant that some of the protesters are anarchist in the sense that they want an overthrow of the current institutions and systems.

    timb116,
    How stupid are you? Capitalism declares that the company that cannot make a product that people want to buy fails. In this case that would be GM and Chrysler. You do remember that Ford took a grand total of $0 from the bailouts, because they were selling cars.
    Capitalism also declares that those banks that make bad choices with loans, fail. However, it was the government that told them they had to make the loans in the first place, so they had no choice but to save the banks from government stupidity.

    Can you make up your mind, either you are accusing Obama of being a Marxist or you accuse him of being Fascist – it cant be both as they are opposing ends of the same spectrum.

    For Corporatism to take hold all that is needed is for regulations to be dropped, this is what you and Beck want – you fail to see that strong government keeps Corporations in their place through regulation and taxation. If Corporatism takes hold then this leads to Fascism as the government becomes pawns of the Corporations.

    I know that you and many of the people on the right fail to see this, but that is either because you have been brainwashed by idiots like Beck or you don’t have the capacity to see it.

    How does Glenn Beck have expertise on Marxist uprisings? I”m just asking? He must have just read it somewhere, like everyone else. 

    Marxist uprisings happen when power is concentrated to the 1% and the lower waged workers are pushed even lower, so low in fact they MUST rise up and take power back… or else are they supposed to live like slaves? For low wages? Not have a vote? Just because they don’t want to be considered marxist? They can’t fight for their freedom because they’re afraid of what some loud fat greying FAILED TV PERSONALITY will have to say?

    Screw Glenn Back, after these comments, when the uprisings starts, I’m sure there will be a hoard of angry marxists ready to teach him the fundamentals of our economy :O

    All I know is that I want to hear what happened in 1991 when, it is alleged, he raped and murdered a girl… but now, somehow, all evidence of that event has disappered from the internet… its a huge campaign to basically re-write history. I’m serious, check around, there is little to no information about the accused rape… I just feel for that girls parents, unsure of what happened, it’s a good thing Glenn Beck isn’t famous anymore, I’m sure it was hard to see him as a mainstream media figure.

    “”I hate corporations” – Except all the ones who help me get online, built my computer, sold my computer shipped my computer, gave me youtube, twitter, facebook, and google maps to contact my fellow maxists.”

    Actually the OWS rallying is not about corporations making money, all corporations deserve to make money, OWS has a problem with corporations trying to wrestle power from the people through money. You’re clueless.

    “”I hate Wall Street” – Except all the one who loaned me money for school. my car, my credit cards, my rent, my food, the restaraunts, the bathrooms, my 401k, my stocks, my pension, the grocery stores, the delivery trucks, the water plants, the electrical grid, the soda pop, and all the rest.”

    Loans? We already bailed out these companies for billions of dollars? Americans deserve the bailout money back. We payed these companies trillions of dollars because they were going to fail.. and now you’re saying that’s OK? Do you have any value for money? Or anything? You’re complaining after these people were already given our money? Screw you.

    Did you like funding wall street when it collapsed? I thought the Tea Party though that was bullshit, I guess it depends which way the wind is blowing.

    That takes place all over the world in every kind of society, you’re so clueless about this whole rally, you’ve tried to simplifiy it in your brain and I’ll give you credit.. but you’re just so off, it’s no wonder to see why you disagree with it, you don’t even understand what they are trying to do. It’s OK though, you’ll see how wrong you are in a few years, no sweat!

    “Spread the wealth” – I DESERVE WHAT THEY EARNED AND PROVIDED BECAUSE…………………..”

    You know, our economy will continue to spiral out of control unti more money is in the hands of consumers. Right now there isn’t enough wealth around and we’re headed toward recision. Can you tell me how Obama has spread the wealth though? 

    To me, it seems like we’ve bailed out big corporations and now they are trying to raise our taxes, so they can continue to make massive earnings… and they’re hiring lobbyists to also take the vote from us… and they also have the corporate media to put down whoever they dis;like.. this is why OWS exists. IT’s come to a point where it Can’t be like this anymore or the country is over. You can be part of the solution, or you can be on the side of a big business and look forward to a really crappy future.

    Just remember, the only “spreading of wealth” that occured was us bailing out the banks and wall st. Now us liberals are INSANE because after paying these people, we want them regulated. How can you be a good businesses if you pay someone(wall st), they fail, then you don’t do anything to punish them?  Are we supposed to let them play games with the economy because they are merely rich?  Get a clue.

    From the three Bagger rallies that I’ve personally attended, I would guess that maybe a handful of people in all three crowds combined–and I’m including myself in that handful–could even manage standing on their heads.  Once most of them get low to the ground, it would take a crane to lift them back up.

    As for understanding what the Tea Party’s all about, y’all really aren’t that complex: small government with a huge military and police; personal freedom and responsibility, unless you’re gay and want to marry your partner and raise family, or want to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, or want to enjoy the drug of your choice, or want other people’s religion out of your government; and, finally, no socialized medicine with no cuts to Medicare.  In short, the same ol’ conservative claptrap we’ve been hearing for decades.

    So, how’d I do?

    Wow, you supplied five links to the same story, good for you.

    From your links:

    “Five women aged between 55 and 80 were arrested in Chicago last night for taking rubbish from a foreclosed home owned by Bank of America and dumping it at one of the company’s branches.

    They were taken away as 21 economic protesters in total were arrested for trespassing in the Illinois city on Tuesday.
    In Washington D.C. six people were arrested on Tuesday after 100 protesters unfurled upside-down flags – a symbol of distress – and anti-war banners in the atrium of a Senate office building.  Demonstrators stormed the Hart building’s atrium and dropped large banners, one which said “End War Now,” the other “People for the People.” As soon as they displayed their signs, Capitol police arrested them.In Washington D.C. six people were arrested on Tuesday after 100 protesters unfurled upside-down flags – a symbol of distress – and anti-war banners in the atrium of a Senate office building.  Demonstrators stormed the Hart building’s atrium and dropped large banners, one which said “End War Now,” the other “People for the People.” As soon as they displayed their signs, Capitol police arrested them.
    141 protestors were arrested in Boston for trespassing.  Boston resident Matt Hollander, 25, said a group of veterans carrying American flags were standing between police and the protesters when officers advanced on them. John Nilles, 74, who served in Vietnam and is a member of Veterans for Peace, told the Globe that he was knocked to the ground during the arrest operation, banging his knee.  “I have absolutely no use for police anymore. I don’t know what I’m going to do,” he told the paper.”

    Where’s the beheadings?  Where’s the violence you alluded to in your first post?  Were those grannies and veterans out for blood?

    Again, I would love to see a month long TEA Party rally and see the crazies that would come out.

    BTW, my five posts were of five separate TEA Party organizers (not rally goers, organizers) who have been arested for soliciting prostitution, software piracy, and assaulting a police officer.

    The notion that the CRA, approved nearly 35 years ago in 1977, had anything much to do with a lending crisis that flowered in 2007 and 2008 has been roundly discredited. In a 2008 speech, Randall Kroszner, a federal reserve board governor, a former member of George W. Bush’s Council of Economic Advisers and a business professor at the University of Chicago responded to the charge.
    ”Some critics of the CRA contend that by encouraging banking institutions to help meet the credit needs of lower-income borrowers and areas, the law pushed banking institutions to undertake high-risk mortgage lending. We have not yet seen empirical evidence to support these claims, nor has it been our experience in implementing the law over the past 30 years that the CRA has contributed to the erosion of safe and sound lending practices,” Kroszner said, before discussing a Fed analysis of mortgage data “that runs counter to the charge that the CRA was at the root of, or otherwise contributed in any substantive way to, the current subprime crisis.”
     Other experts have noted that the majority of subprime loans were made by firms that are not subject to the CRA. University of Michigan law professor Michael Barr has testified on Capitol Hill that half of subprime loans were made by mortgage service companies not subject to comprehensive federal supervision and another third were made by affiliates of banks or thrifts that are not subject to routine supervision.
    In a 2008 blog post, Robert Gordon, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, noted: “It’s telling that, amid all the recent recriminations, even lenders have not fingered CRA. That’s because CRA didn’t bring about the reckless lending at the heart of the crisis. Just as sub-prime lending was exploding, CRA was losing force and relevance. And the worst offenders, the independent mortgage companies, were never subject to CRA — or any federal regulator. Law didn’t make them lend. The profit motive did.”

    Beck again….   Looks like it is business as usual for Glenn Beck as he is at it as usual giving right wing and conspiracy blow jobs once again.  Now that Beck no longer has Fox News to help him felate every brainless registered GOP idiot willing to pull down their pants and look the other way, he is getting desperate. As long as the protests end with the death of this loser Glenn Beck, then their efforts were all a worthy cause.

    GLENN BECK,
       You are right on target as to the danger that Marxist Obama and his radicals present to America.  You will recall many of the facts that you brought out on THE GLENN BECK PROGRAM.  I am now  a member of your new gbtv.com.   OBAMA, you have been consistently instilling fear in Americans, and you are a complete FARCE.  Now, you are orchestrating protesters to achieve your CAUSE.  You and Soros are determined to destroy the United States of America.  You have done everything possible to divide this nation.  The Wall Street Protesters and the D.C. Protesters constitute your only hope to create a Revolution in this nation.  Call off your Union Thugs and take your protesters back to the Rehabs. 
       Obama and Soros, let me give you both some advice.  Acts of Treason are punishable by DEATH.  You are both guilty of many ACTS OF TREASON and will be charged and convicted, along with your radicals.  You will not get the Revolution you seek.  We are going to the polls in 2012 to VOTE.  If you do anything to stop the election, my plan is to convict you both of TREASON.  COUNT ON IT.  You’ve met your match!

    Really?
    You are right the original CRA was passed in 1977, and amended in 1989, 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1999, 2005, 2007, and 2009.
    The 1995 Amendments changed the regulations on housing loans, allowing sub-prime lending. What caused the collapse of the Housing market again? In 1999, the Amendments were the Glass-Steagall Act, that repealed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act that kept Banks from getting their hands in to many dangerous lending

    Why would I weep?  Did I anoint Obama as a teller of truths?  You’re the one that proclaimed Beck can “stand by [his] comments when they are the truth.”  And now you’ve been called out, so provide evidence to back up your statement or retract it.  Just so you know, “he did it, too!” is not evidence.

    If what Glans Beck said is so true, why are his little lemmings the ones who went out and bought all the bullets? Why are Glans Beck’s little lemmings the ones who show up at political rallies wearing guns, doing their best to intimidate their opposition.

    It does end in violence every time – the bought and paid for police come in and crack the skulls of peaceful protesters.
