Glenn Beck Defines “Violent Rhetoric” And Explains Where You’ll Find It

audio
» 77 comments

On his radio show this morning, Glenn Beck decided to take some time out to clear up what exactly this “violent rhetoric” everyone’s talking about is. It’s not coming out of the mouths of Sarah Palin or Rush Limbaugh, he promised. Instead, it’s coming from Frances Fox Piven and the other progressive radicals he rails against on his show.

However, while we need to “tune in” to this rhetoric, Beck explained, we’re not here to regulate it. Helpfully using the example of President Obama’s “gun to a knife fight” comment (you know the one as you may have heard a couple of Conservatives mention it over the past couple of days), Beck pointed out that it is entirely within anyone’s right to talk like this as long as they’re not actively threatening anyone. He wouldn’t, though, because the climate has now changed.

Beck seemed the most passionate when he was talking about a joke he made about killing Michael Moore back in 2005. Beck was clearly frustrated that the comments had been getting so much play on the Internet yesterday, angrily pointing out that they’re nearly six years old. For the record, that’s nearly three and a half years older than Obama’s knife fight comment.

Check out the audio from the Glenn Beck Program below:

    Good for you Beckerhead. Defend yourself vociferously against everything you have ever said.

    All the Marys in Heaven, this guy is unstable.

    You know when you’re making peanut brittle, you’ve reached the hard crack stage, you take the syrup mixture off the heat and add the Baking Soda? Whosh! I call the my Beckerhead moment.

  • errxn

    I guess the “finger quotes” are there because the “argument” is only “valid” if it’s coming from someone you “agree with” politically. How “shocking.”

    ” We have a long history of political violence in America, and when the discourse heated as it did, as early as October 2008, when it was clear that Palin was going to pull McCain down into cesspool from which the campaign would never recover, reaching its “high” point in the 2009 Town Halls and continuing through the Congressional Lame Duck Session, every thoughtful American ought to have known it was just a matter of time.” RRK

    Why are you rightists so defensive? No one has been linking Palin to violence.

    You are certainly intellectually dishonest, aren’t you? The context was my statement that I felt a bit of pity for Palin for being unfairly linked to the Tucson shootings. I guess that would not have furthered yours purpose.

    So in other words, King, I shouldn’t quote your own words. You said it, but you didn’t say it. Or you meant it, but you didn’t mean it. And maybe you meant it, but it was taken out of context.

    Excellent point! Someone with serious issues could see something he said, misunderstand it, and do something terrible because of it!

    I say we work to get everyone who says something that might be taken incorrectly off the air. That means all other television hosts, sitcoms, police dramas, rap music, movies, graphic novels, and so on. All that stuff is terrible, and could be taken the wrong way by someone with issues, and used as motivation.

    And lets ban heavy metal, violent movies, pornography (hopefully not), classic literature (John Lennon anyone), and the full gammit of debunked links to violence in our society. Lets just shave a little off the constitution to fit your fairy dust view of what a perfect society should be.

    Let’s see, will you have the courage to admit that you’re just trying to politicize this for your own gain? It’s obvious from your comments, but let’s see if you will admit it.

    Glenn Beck is a charlatin and a hate monger and anyone with half an ounce of brains or sense of decency can see that.. His own words tell the story

    Beck rants against Progressives who, he assures us, are heirs to the legacy of slaveholders, tyrants, dictators, Nazis and Communists. And, in a warning to viewers, Beck asks, “What happens if these Progressives don’t get their way?” According to Beck, “You get a bullet in the head.”

    While talking about the recent health care bill Beck compared it to the Nazi eugenics program. Beck also compared the National Endowment for the Arts to the German Propaganda Ministry under Joseph Gobbels, teaching kids about climate change was likened to the Hitler Youth program, ACORN was compared to the Brown Shirts of Nazi Germany that aided Hitler’s rise, and President Obama’s call for more volunteers for the Peace Corp reminded him of Hitler’s SS.

    On one show he exhorted his listeners, in a highly emotional rant, to “find the exit closest to you and prepare for a crash landing because the pilot (Obama) is intentionally steering it towards the trees!” Then he adds, “They are taking you to a place to be slaughtered!”

    In other shows he has claimed Democrats are vampires and we should “drive a stake through the hearts of the bloodsuckers!”

    Other Beck statements include, “Every night I get down on my knees and pray that Dennis Kucinich will burst into flames”, “ I am thinking about killing Michael Moore and I am wondering if I could kill him myself or if I would need to hire someone to do it”, “When I see a 9/11 victim family on television or whatever, I’m like ‘Oh shut up’ I am so sick of them because they are always complaining’, “The only Katrina victims we’re seeing on television are scumbags”’ and a segment of one program depicted the poisoning of Nancy Polosi. He called President Obama a “punk” for criticizing a Supreme Court decision during his State of the Union address apparently unaware that both George Bush and Ronald Reagan had done the same.

    If exactly the same things were said about Jews would anyone be surprised if someone bombed a synagogue? But you cant tell Conservatives this.. they are too busy feeling sorry for themselves and talking to God who tells them God Hates Democrats!

    Oh no Glenn Beck does not inspire violence …and bears dont s*** in the woods either!!

    On that we agree.

    Our only question is whether you’re one of the gullible and ignorant… or you, yourself, is just preying on them.

    But back to what Truth said, since you apparently agree… do you think violent movies, television shows, songs, comic books, etc. should all be pulled as well? Couldn’t they (and haven’t they) “inspire” someone unstable? Apply the same standard, and see what the world looks like.

    Is that what you really believe… or do you, as predicted, just want to use this to attack Beck to feed you unhealthy obsession?

    Everyone has made statements they regret and everyone has used imagery that could be taken as encouraging violence. We have all spoken of “targeting the opposition” and such and if this were the only problem, there would be no problem. We also know that there are those that have occasionally gone further and they can be somewhat excused because we all say over the top things on occasion in the heat of battle. Those things are not the issue or the problem.

    The problem is a continual, on going campaign of hate and demonization that takes place 24-7 from thousands of conservative outlets day after day whose aim it is to create fear and loathing among their base.. This campaign to depict themselves as holy defenders of all that is sacred against the evil liberals is unlike anything in our history. They intend to create the same hate for those that disagree with them as Hitler created against the Jews. Now there is no need for me to repeat all the things they have said and done to this end but the key point is that this is not just a few isolated individuals or a few intemperate remarks.. but an organized, well financed campaign or fear and terror preying on frightened people which they intend to use to ride back to power regardless of the consequences.. that is what makes this movement so damaging to the nation and it is overwhelmingly a creation of the far right..

    Pathetic.

    Because the story isn’t on the home page (or wasn’t when you checked it out… who knows, we already know you’re looking skills aren’t terrific), they buried it? Really?

    You do realize that stories are listed on the TV/Online/Print pages by the time they were written, right?

    Unbelievable. Basically, because YOU didn’t see it, and because YOU don’t believe it was easy enough to find for YOU (not for everyone else), they were trying to hide it? HA!

    Oh, and you didn’t answer my question… who cares? How is that photo relevant to anything?

    Beck is pointing ONE FINGER at the “other” to blame, while pointing the other three at himself.

    With Beck, it’s not about his reactionary politics. It’s about his lies, hypocrisy, lack of qualifications for his job (he’s a fake), his vitriolic, hateful and violent rhetoric and his self-righteous arrogance about his sheer ignorance. Persuasive, convincing and captivating, Beck has you at the tips of his puppet strings.

That doesn’t counter the argument that Beck is a hypocrite for putting the image up there in the first place, AND Beck is the one pointing at progressives for scrubbing their websites. That’s two, two, count them TWO hypocrisies in one.

    A Beckerhead like you should know better than to point fingers and claim, “brilliant and dastardly.” I’m not the one who has inspired three, three, count them THREE assassination attempts last year. Glenn Beck, your “hero” was. Dastardly indeed.

    From Thom Hartmann:
    “When you listen to people like Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, and the rest of the gang – it’s easy to see – these men and women are guilty of something called stochastic terrorism. That is – the use of mass communication like radio or television to encourage individuals to commit random lone acts of violence. It’s what Glenn Beck was guilty of when he encouraged Byron Williams to attempt to massacre members of the Tides foundation and ACLU. It’s what Bill O’ Reilly was guilty of when he shouted “Tiller the baby killer” a dozen times on his show – and then someone killed Dr. George Tiller. And it could be what all these talking heads are guilty of when Jared Lee Loughner took his semi-automatic pistol to a local Safeway grocery store in Tucson on Saturday and attacked his hated “big government” by trying to assassinate a Congresswoman. We are living in a volatile and violent nation today – and if we want to emerge from it – we need to recognize the damage certain people on the Right are doing. They are profiting off their own unique form of terrorism.”

    The contrast between libertarian Howard Stern and charlatan Glenn Beck makes it obvious that my issues with Mr. Beck have nothing to do with political values and everything to do with honesty and integrity. Stern has them; Beck is a habitual liar and a nearly complete hypocrite. The sooner people who do not want to be routinely lied to can understand that, the sooner Beck can crawl back into the sewer from where he slid out from. The sooner people of faith can come to understand that Beck is to Christianity as Jared Loughner is to sanity, the sooner Beck can be pushed into the ashcan of history along with the Marxism he so needlessly fears.

    Glenn Beck nail it!, I was about to say that he make a clear shot, but….let the nail thing!

    Beck is such a liar! Does he think that wanting to poison the wine of the Speaker of the House is not violent rhetoric? See last link below if you missed that on his slow last year.

    In Beck’s own words: “The government is evil, and you must take them down at all costs.” That’s just one of the quotes of Beck fomenting violence and hatred on “Glenn Beck’s violent rhetoric” video montage.

    Nobody in the media expresses hatred anything like Glenn Beck; hatred and violence is in his DNA.

    When Glenn Beck connected President Obama to Lucifer, that was not exactly a “peaceful” image. For a fundamentalist Christian , that’s as close you can come to painting a gun-sight over someone’s image without actually displaying it.

    The fact is, violent rhetoric is a staple on Beck’s shows, so can we add this denialistic monologue to Beck’s long and growing examples of his crude hypocrisies? I think so. Either that or he’s the most self-unaware person in the media. I’ll run with hypocrisy because Beck can hardly spout a principle that he doesn’t undermine eventually.

    His many minions here will continue to attack me personally and made baseless claims that are shallow and deceitful attempts to defend their “hero,” the liar, hypocrite and charlatan, Glenn Beck. Don’t buy their nonsense: find out for yourself what the truth is about Glenn Beck. I’m opposed to all domestic violence and only supportive of wars of self-defense.

    Sorry, make that the penultimate link of the five in that comment.

    Beck’s arguments are so wrong.

    First, about Obama’s comment about if they bring knives, we bring guns: Obama was paraphrasing a line from the movie “The Untouchables.” He said it at a closed fund raiser, not meant for the general public. Beck has his cable show on 5 days a week, as does he the same on his radio program, spewing hate day in, day out to some 2 million plus on his cable show; I don’t know what his audience is on radio, but I know it is a large number. Obama does not make comments like this day in, day out.

    Second, Beck “defends” his Michael Moore comments, saying that this happened almost 6 years ago. This is not the only hate speech Beck has used. He has said he “hates” some 9-11 victims’ families. Shortly after Katrina, he said that he didn’t think he could “hate” anyone more than these 9-11 victims’ families, but now (then) he had found someone he hates worse: some Katrina victims.

    Recently, I took a look at Beck’s “university” site. He has a course called something like “The Presidents You Should Hate.” Presumeably, this includes Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, and perhaps others because they were “progessives,” and Beck hates “progressives.” He has called progressive “evil.”

    How long ago was it when Beck made the comments about putting poison in Nancy Pelosi’s wine? I saw that show myself. It was less than 2 years ago. Further, Dana Millbank has documented that Beck has made the Nazi/Hitler references over 200 times in the past 2 years, since he’s been on Fox. Beck is trying to tie Nazis to “socialism,” but most normal people I know, when they think of Nazis, think of the murder of 6 million Jews. They think of the 50 to 70 million killed in WWII because of the Nazis.

    Last summer, Beck condemned the fact that people were bringing politicians’ children into the story (notably, he was condemning what he thought were attacks on Palin’s children, as he should). Within a couple of weeks, Beck was making fun of Malia Obama, with respect to the BP oil spill. What’s wrong with this picture?

    Early in Beck’s career, in the early 1980s, when he was starting out as a radio shock jock, Beck called up, live and on the air, a radio rival’s wife. This lady had just had a miscarriage 3 days earlier. He asked her about it. He said that her husband could not do anything right; why, he couldn’t even have a baby. How evil and hateful is this?

    Beck later apologized for this, claiming it was youthful indiscretion. Well, if this is the only thing Beck did that was horribly wrong, maybe I’d be willing to forgive him after some 25+- years. But how many times does he have to keep on apologizing for the incendiary, hateful rhetoric he has historically used? There is something deeply “evil” rooted in this man.

    The only people who do not readily grasp that Glenn Beck is a bald faced liar are his loyal fans who are too ignorant to comprehend when Beck lies and don’t want face up to the truth. Glenn Beck lies about Van Jones, about Obama, about telling the truth even! The latter makes Glenn Beck a hypocrite, not just that one time though, but over and over again, Beck demonstrates that he’s a blatant hypocrite!

    Beck took one college course on the history of religion and dropped out. He has spent his entire life working hard and preparing to be a huge radio star, not studying political theory or political science. Beck is not much more than an amazing performance artistand an extremely convincing demagogue with ideas that Republican, President Eisenhower considered “stupid” in his days as President. Glenn Beck demonstrates repeatedly that he has virtually no understanding of political language or ideas. Beck is a yellow propagandist who comes across as sincerely interested in the country but his motivations are “”are, and have always been, money and fame. If Beck has a true religion, it’s not Patriotism. It’s not Mormonism. It’s cross-platform self-marketing.”
