Here, let Beck speak for himself:
Yeah it's terrible Beck is. I mean he should do it right, by producing a "fictional" account of Piven being assassinated or writing a book on how to do it. Then he wouldn't get any criticism, it'd be art.
Here, let Beck speak for himself:
I don't care. If Piven feels insecure, let her hire bodyguards. This is just payback for the death threats from the left while Bush was president. Remember the play called Checkpoint in which Bush's assassination was portrayed? The left created this atmosphere and now must live with the consequences of it's own violent rhetoric.
Beck didn't lie about Piven. Twist and spin all you want, but you're not fooling me, or anyone else with a lick of common sense.
Beck sarcastically remarks the New York Times must have "creditable firm solid proof" in reference to his article. Then he presents this statement, "Piven wants to overwhelm the system and bring about the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with impossible demands and bring on economic collapse." as fact without any kind of "creditable firm solid proof"
I don't know who Piven is and I don't really care, but if what Beck is saying is without any proof, how is it anything other than a lie?
Beck is not a journalist - investigating and reporting. He's an emotional commentator and discusses how he *feels* about things.
Oh that retort again. Seems I've heard something similar from the right when Rush Lardass says something assinine. Something to the effect of "he's only an entertainer." Never mind his viewers take everything he says as the God's honest truth. I know an individual that feels the same about Beck.
I'm not saying that people don't respect him, take him seriously - or anything like that.
But everyone needs to understand that - in his exact niche - the "truth" is not a necessity or a requirement. If he was a journalist in a publication it would be a firm issue. But he's not - so it's not.
There is nothing that regulates commentary of such nature from anyone.
Only that ass of a man Beck would do something like that. I really hate him. With a passion. I would punch him if I was given the opportunity.
And let me jump ahead of the obvious response to that as well and say if anyone thinks they're clever for pointing out there's a liberal here, assuming he is a liberal, inciting violence you need to catch up with everyone else.
Im going to jump ahead of the obvious response to this and add that yes the New York Times also has opinion in its news curricular like any other news body such as Fox News.

You need to change that lean to "Very Liberal".
Never. I am a communist. Not a liberal. I'm as far left as it gets.
How unreasonable of him???
You are right... Unless of course you read her very own words. Whether she wrote that plan 40 years ago, or 40 days ago, the woman has never denounced that plan, or backed away from it in any way.
The proof is in her own words... When a person makes statements and offers solutions to the problems they perceive exist, unless they retract or denounce them, shouldn't that person be held accountable for those statements?
That's what Beck does... He holds progressives like Ms. Piven and others to their very own words and statements.
That's why I suggested "Very Liberal"... Unless there's a "Communist" option there.
There isn't. I will never label myself a liberal. Liberalism is still in the realm of capitalism. I'm satisfied with "Other."
It takes becoming a communist to realize that I guess. But I have to retract my comment about you not inciting violence, violence is critical part of communism. Unless of course you've got your own communist theories or follow a less traditional communist belief of achieving a communist society, but looking at your sig I'm going to have to say you're a fan of violence in some regard for political gains.

Nothing wrong with proof, but damn if this lady really wrote and created a plan to destroy capitalism and overthrow the US government and it was that big of a deal I don't think the NY Times would support her so much.
And couldn't Beck quote more from that in his show? Maybe he did which I'm sure you will say he did because in only watched that 10 minute clip.
I really don't care about Beck, the whole basis of his existance is being the biggest loudest most far out guy he can be to attract viewers. I just hate that he's become a news item in himself.
What is wrong with Glenn Beck? He has attacked this professor to the point that she is now getting death threats, and when confronted, he makes a joke about it.
Have Republicans/conservatives lost all sense of civility? All sense of what is right and wrong? It sure seems so. And, if this Prof Piven happens to end up dead one day, I am sure the majority of Reps/cons will all claim they had absolutely nothing to do with it!
