      Pick an angle, Glenn. Wasn't this guy just an apolitical nut according to you yesterday?

        I mean if you find this to be against:
        Thomas Jefferson was concise in his early warning to the American nation, "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
        Not only he but also Andre Jackson who more or less started the DNC. He abolished the second bank of the United States. Oh, but what's history?

      And spouting THIS NONSENSE is being stupid and ignorant in the way that Glenn Beck is stupid and ignorant. I'm sure the mother/wife/childeren of the guard that was killed is happy to know that you put his killer on a pedastal next to one of this country's greatest men, presidents and founding fathers.

      What a jackass. I hope somebody shoots him.

        The fact that he's a jackass (apologies to all beasts of burden) doesn't mean that he and his ilk on cable and airways aren't dangerous, and becoming more so each day. As they rachet up the hysteria (and accuse us of being hate-filled), more and more of their invincibly ignorant and lethally armed followers will act out their fantasies of revolution.

        Bring back the Fairness Doctrine!

      Wow. Beck really needs to get on the same page with the rest of the right and blame this on Obama. Defending this guy really hurts their argument that it was all Obama's fault. Freakin' psycho terrorist enabler.

      "I guess that's extremist in the way Thomas Jefferson was an extremist."

      Um... Beck(erhead)....

      You are an idiot!

      Jefferson, near as I can tell based on historical FACT, never would have shot an unsuspecting man for being nothing more than a black man or a representative of the federal government!

      The form of extremism that the 88 year old racist prick has is the kind that is destructive to Democracy... the kind the Jefferson had was against that of the Wal-Mart of his day (East India Co.)

      Of course... since context is everything and you are unwilling or perhaps unable to make the clear distinction...

      Leave it to Glenn Back to stick up for a hate-filled right-wing terrorist.
