@electango How does being angry at Washington justify calling congressmen niggers & faggots, spitting in their faces, threatening their lives? How is it not racist to portray our black president in white face or as a cartoonish witch doctor? Why denigrate & ridicule the sick & infirmed? Quit pretending you have the high ground while attacking your fellow Americans from the low ground. You'll earn America's respect when your group starts behaving respectfully to its neighbors and fellow citizens.

@electango I get that hate isn't what Teabaggers started out doing, but you are ignoring that hate is presently now a central characteristic of the group regardless of its beginnings. I say again, if you want the movement to succeed, to have legitimacy, you absolutely have to acknowledge & disavow the hate being spewed at all of its gatherings. If no clear dileation is ever established between the nutjobs & the serious, then all appear to be nutjobs, hate undermining their message.

@dafttool You know some ppl have put together very good collaborations of video of the incidents when the congressman was supposedly called these things and well it doesnt look like it actually happened, not to mention the multilpe congressman who have told of this tales stories dont match up, but whatever. As far as ppl making nasty picture of obama offending you. How does it feel?? You dont remmeber bush being treated in an equal or worse way??how bout watch?v=yEr65ZX6gLw

Mediamatters is so ridiculously biased, so much time and energy slandering conservative views, beck didnt tell anyone to go kill pelosi or attack her or harm her. And yet a man goes into discovery hq with a bomb, quoting Al gores fearmongering and metiamatters wont seem a bit concerned. Can u imagine if that man had been influence by beck. Lol. Not an ounce of intellectual honesty, What a joke the Left has become, Full of the same racism and hatefulness they accuse conservatives of.

@ReliableInsider opinions cannot be construed as fact or fiction. suspicions of his, therefore, cannot be a lie unless he himself does not believe him. either way, it makes as much sense for Beck to want "liberal deaths" from radicals as it would for Obama to want black panthers and the like to kill mainstream conservatives; it doesn't paint a message that the respective people want the public to hear. Your argument of him wanting politicians murdered holds no logical base.

Glenn Beck hasn't told one or two jokes. His entire career now is dedicated to creating hysteria by lying constantly whenever he is on the air. He is trying to get some nutcase to kill a Congressman. He's crossed over from hate-monger to violence-monger.

Anyone who listens to his nonsense and can't see it is blinded by politics.

@ReliableInsider glenn beck joked. it may have been of poor tastes, but it was not even a hinted message to kill the one of best boon for the republican party. Further, while mobsters are sociopaths, they get the go-ahead from a don to do the job. The don says "kill mr. so-and-so." Beck did not tell people to threaten lives; on the contrary, he said be peaceful. What would violence do for his cause, whether real or cash crop? Nothing positive. your reasoning is very flawed on that example.

@4lifejackhammer

Prosecuting people for incitement to riot has nothing to do with prior restraint.

If Glenn Beck or a mafia don convinces someone to murder someone, we should hold Glenn Beck responsible, just as we would hold the mafia don responsible.

the tea oarty movement is nothing but a smoke screen to cover up these racist mothersfuckers hate for our president.
