From the July 29 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program:

Blaming the actions of Williams on Beck
Please back that up with concrete evidence or STFU.
MM, if you are a conservative, you believe in personal responsibility. Beck needs to OWN his responsibility in this incident.
"The Party of Personal Responsibility".
And then he'll turn around and embrace the label when it benefits him.
Of course, he'll ALWAYS deny he's a hypocrite...
If you plant seeds of sedition and encourage people to arm themselves against -well, insert any of Glenda's targets - and they then act on your comments, you might as well be hiring them to carry out your wishes.
If an evil person takes someone that is mentally/emotionally ill and talks to them every day.... "the government is against you", "the TIDES FOUNDATION is part of a conspiracy to destroy our country", "our government is evil and out to destroy you", "its just a matter of time", "I need an army", "I need you to keep a diary (humm... called "California"?), "I need you to scour the internet, watch my shows, record them", "soon they will erase history, so listen to me" -
... and you feed this into the mind of an unbalanced man with weapons, body armor, an alcohol problem and mental issues. He listens every day and gets more and more agitated. Glenn Beck's words mix with the voices in his head saying "the government is out to get me", "Tides Foundation is evil and destroying America", "I must keep a diary with my Plan", and then finally - "I will start by killing people at the Tides Foundation".
Where else did he hear it? Glenn Beck talked about it 29 times on his shows. He connected the lines on his crazy chalkboard. And he fed a dangerous man information that the man then planned to use to kill people.
How is Glenn Beck not responsible here? Do you really think that this man heard his words of "do not use violence"? Does a mentally ill person listen to reason when they are being given information that validates their own conspiracy theories?
Please come back when you have something other then stale, debunked right-wing talking points to distribute.
Try to stay on topic, would you?
You might want to look up the definition of sedition.
Yep, fits Beck's actions to a T.
So, you are wrong and you make no point worth debating.
You, Glenn, are a lying sack of excrement. Violence is coming from one place, and that is you.
Get this Glenn, and get it straight and clear: Your actions are evil, and unmitigated evil.
He can deny it all he wants, but it's the truth.
Yep, that's pretty much it in a nutshell.
Nutshell...what an appropriate word.
"I am the only one that has mentioned the Tides Foundation..."
And of course the Crazy Man cannot see any connection even after making that statement.
Distrust of empirical fact-based observation is the construct Beck builds upon. You first have to be a believer in Beck.
Beck's followers have a faith-based hatred for provable empirical truth, and prefer instead that "their truth" be "revealed" to them by Glenn.
Beck's faithful distrust traditional means of arriving at logical conclusions and opt for conclusions that fit ingrained ideology to be drawn out for them on a chalkboard by a witless clown.
Maybe you can give more content to the accusations about "corrupt, underhanded scum" than anything Glenn has with his murky vague conspiracy theories, but I sincerely doubt that the Tides Foundation poses any threat to the republic.
Big of you not to think -- just as a matter of your own personal opinion of course, and reasonable people can differ on the subject -- that killing isn't the correct way to deal with them, though. Big-hearted, really.
They've given money to the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, the American Red Cross ($450,000), and thousands of other groups. Just this year alone, they gave out over 300 million in grants.
So go ahead and visit their site. Among the thousands of grantees I'm sure you'll find a few you can disagree with, but please don't make blanket statements that they are "corrupt, under-handed scum". You just don't know what you are talking about.
I'm so scared! Protect us, Glenn!
