David Brock and Michael Keegan call for Sarah Palin to "Refudiate" Glenn Beck
TRANSCRIPT:
GLENN BECK: Well, she was-- They published it, so she's going to call today. We should get-- Can we call Sarah Palin? Let's call her and see if she has a response for David Brock, the founder of Media Matters, and all of the Soros money and the Tides money, trying to put me out of business, to isolate me, to say that I am going to cause another Oklahoma City. There is no one -- no one -- who has been more clear on violence for longer than me. There has been no one more outspoken on violence since Martin Luther King.
PAT GRAY: That's absolutely true.
BECK: It is absolutely true.
GRAY: This is dangerous stuff this guy is doing.
BECK: No, no, what they're doing is, they're setting it up--
GRAY: It's dangerous.
BECK: Look, I'm telling you right now--
GRAY: They're trying to eliminate free speech in this country. That's what they're trying to do. They're trying to eliminate any opposition at all.
BECK: No, they're setting something up. They know that violence is coming as much as I do, because the pressure on this country and its citizens is becoming overwhelming. And as I said last night -- and when I told you a minute ago that I know exactly where I'm going, that I know exactly what I'm doing -- I'm going to be relieving some of that pressure. Oh no, no, no, not by-- not by going away. Oh no, by transforming. By transforming exactly what I do, and by doing it in a much more powerful way. We will provide leadership. And when I say "we," I mean you. And me. We are going to be the group of people that stand together in peace and in love. And when the whole world is freaking out, you will not be freaking out. You have been on this journey with me for a reason, and it is certainly not to kill anybody, it is certainly not to blow anything up. It is to restore the Republic.

Beck has REPEATEDLY lied about various people and entities. Crazy, ignorant Beck followers have followed through on those lies by threatening the people Beck is lying about.
Beck is irresponsible and blind, ignorant followers like you ENCOURAGE his irresponsibility with your support.
Unbelievable.
His lips are moving.

He's building an army of old, white, rich, fundamentally religious hippies with guns?
And you are the nuttiest entertainer on TV since Andy Kaufman...except Kaufman wasn't dangerous, just nutty.
What a tool.
That may be technically accurate in terms of sheer magnitude of outspokenness: MLK was quite outspoken on violence as a thing to be avoided, and Beck has been most outspoken on violence as a thing about which he enjoys fantasizing.

Oh wait, those were soldiers, so they dont matter to you?
Have some principals, have some dignity, have some honor.

If Mr. West had cared about the soldiers, he wouldn't have used torture.
oh, and if you're going to use a BIG word like principles, you should learn how to spell it. 'Course, you're here defending Glenn Beck who has NONE, so I really doubt you've ever come into contact with principles . . . a few principals, maybe, in your past, but no principles.)
You're honestly a terrible person for believing what you have just stated. I sincerely hope that you have no children or access to any such, because I fear what you would try to teach them regarding your twisted sense of ethics and morality (insofar as having none could be called that).
I know, I don't.
Is this really that hard for you to understand or do you have the BeckianOReillyhannityfauxNewsGOP (BORNGOP for short) gene?
If we treat our prisoners better we do that, BECAUSE we are a better country, and I would say, morally superior to those we are fighting. We owe it to ourselves to do such things. We owe it to our own country. We should be setting the examples here, and having others follow our lead on it.
Do you want us to treat prisoners worse because other countries, or other groups do so? That would be bad. Bad for America, and bad for our standing in the world as a leader for human rights. We don't, or should NOT lower ourselves as a country, just because other people do it.
That you don't understand that, doesn't surprise me. I know plenty of folks who are in the Army, and they would NEVER adhere to your viewpoint. They would die to protect this country, and the ideal that we are indeed much better than everyone else, and that includes not torturing prisoners when they've taken then in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I'd like to know when it was acceptable for our troops to torture?
Certainly not in the country where I was raised.
When you start a program by saying that you don't believe violence is the answer and then spend the entire rest of the program implying that it is, you're not an advocate of 'peace'.
Only in 2010 America could a blog thread, with the topic being Beck's claim of opposing violence, could elicit a response from one of his Kool-Aid-drinkin' followers defending an American soldier's violent torture of another human being.
(Side note: Some people can rhetorically walk and chew gum at the same time. Glenn Beck is a master at it.)
If it were possible, I'd reach through these Internet tubes and give you a big wet sloppy hetero man-on-man kiss. You are Peace and Love personified, in a "War Is Peace" kind of way.
Isn't it ridiculous on its face of things that they say this, ON THEIR OWN SHOWS that are in no threat of being taken away from them, and even after that, nobody has again, impinged on their freedom of speech, because, they're still allowed to say whatever they want.
What's even worse? People believe these jokers that people are attempting to "shut them up".
Actually, not even close really. I know a ton of progressives, and most don't follow blindly.
The only folks I know who follow things blindly, but claim that they are individuals, are the ones repeating ad nauseum Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, et all, talking points.
The Sherman Antitrust Act was passed in 1890 in response to growing concerns related to monopolies and cartels consolidating power. Are you saying that those monopolies wouldn't have existed if not for the mountains of government regulations and big government influence that plagued the market... in the late 1800s?
A couple of things are worth discussion here. First: why "so called"? Do you think monopolies can exist or don't you? Was Western Union not a monopoly? Second: calling them "natural" neither makes them so nor makes them healthy.
We don't have a few elite leaders in DC running everything. We have at least 535 in Congress who are running things, as is done in a representative republic, such as ours. Those people are directly answerable to us, the voters, and their constituents. This is how our Constitution made for our country to run.
Counterbalanced, of course, by the executive and the judicial.
Anyway, nobody in DC is running healthcare. We still have for profit insurance businesses doing that. The health care bill that passed will not result in government run health care, the only gov run health care is of course medicare/medicade, and tri-care for our active and retired military members.
Do you not think, after what happened, that Wall Street doesn't need to be regulated? We saw what happened when regulations were relaxed, and or non existant. Let me help you. We almost spiraled into a full blown worldwide depression because of de-regulation, and allowing the so called, "free market" to run Wall Street.
I don't believe in blind allegiance to leaders. I believe that we have to hold our leaders accountable for what they do in representing us. It's called participatory democracy. I suggest you take part in it.
And you are right, no one in DC is running healthcare.....yet. You guys are quite finished there are you. Obama said himself yesterday how you have to be patient and get the foundation in place first before you take everything over.
You are so wrong about the source of financial meltdown. It was 100% caused by government intervention into real estate free markets.
Then it should be really easy to knock them down through the courts. I doubt you'll encounter a single reasoned argument to the contrary since these institutions are so obviously anti-Constitutional.
OK, I'll buy that. But then the question comes, "What do you call the followers of Limbaugh (self-described as "dittoheads") and Beck?
not only do they instigate domestic terrorism,but they claim ther were never domestic terrorists.eric rudolph.christian,ted kazinsky,christian,timothy mcvey,christian and a nazi,how many others do we have to name before they even semi-admit to this?
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You paint the world in terms similar to Malcolm X in his "white devil" militant days. You simply don't advocate change "by any means necessary." That doesn't make you MLK. It just makes you inconsistent.
