      The only thing threatening Christie's lifespan is that he's got that same ham-sculpture thing going on that Beck does.

      Hello... union workers in New Jersey!

      Glenn Beck has just accused you of potential murder. Get out there and make some noise about it...

        Given his apparent belief that there's nothing wrong with citing fiction as evidence, I look forward to a reference to "The Sopranos" being set in New Jersey as "proof". Possibly some Kevin Smith references if we're lucky.

          As fuzzy as the line may be, there is a line separating what is or is not responsible for someone on a purported news network to say. To suggest that unions are contemplating murder, without offering any concrete proof, is irresponsible. FOX News should be held accountable...but they won't be.

        Isn't that what Beck wants? More attention?

        They're busy defending their brothers who beat up Kenneth Gladney in St. Louis last year.

      Yes, of course... unions are constantly killing politicians they disagree with. It's in the history books!
      I want my country back! Wah.

        Yes, of course...Cold War-era Republican presidents are constantly killing politicians they disagree with.

        Fixed-ed.

      Says a guy who makes 32 million a year. If you feel like you have to have a safety net Becky, then, why not people with real jobs.

        Doesn't Beck have to be in a union to appear on TV and radio? Maybe that's why he's so prone to violence.

      Christie may already be in trouble. One of my best friends is a staunch Republican and conservative. We had her over for dinner last night and she hadn't heard Christie's rant against our teachers here in NJ.

      Now she wants him gone.

      Interesting Beck failed to mention that all the mine accidents in the last decade involved NON-UNION MINES . .

      Actually it's not interesting 'cause according to Beck he's a rodeo clown . .

        Non-union mines run by one of the craziest global warming denialists out there. How can he resist so many dots waiting to be hysterically connected?

      It seems that Mr. Beck's glorious and comprehensive study of history has failed to inform him of the valiant struggle by trades unionists against the vicious thugs used by employers in attempts to intimidate them.

      Despite the threat to life and limb ordinary workers have managed to unite in order to lift levels of workplace safety as well as fight for wage justice and superannuation/pension security.

      If Mr. Beck is genuinely concerned about violence in industrial relations he would be better served to look at the behaviour of employers rather than fantasising about being pursued by schoolteachers with axe handles or somesuch.
