Media Matters founder David Brock holds Glenn Beck responsible for three assassination attacks that took place last year.
During a Chris Matthews Show interview that aired Wednesday, Brock discussed Saturday’s Tucson shooting rampage and went on to list three 2010 instances in which somebody targeted liberals.
“I mean, Glenn Beck himself has been responsible for three thwarted assassination attacks this year,” Brock said. “Well, you want to know what they are? So he burned Nancy Pelosi in effigy on his set, he tried to poison her with a chalice. Some weeks later somebody tried to firebomb Nancy Pelosi’s house. That guy’s mother went on television and said he gets all his ideas from Fox News.”
Brock said Democratic Sen. Patty Murray received a death threat in April 2010 because she supported health care reform. Brock added that the threatener’s cousin said he was slowly drawn into Glenn Beck’s world.
In October 2010, Byron Williams was charged with participating in a shootout and targeting the American Civil Liberties Union and the Tides Foundation.
“[Byron Williams] says Glenn Beck is his school teacher on television and points specific episodes of the Glenn Beck Show that inspired him to do it,” Brock said.
Political commentator Ron Reagan said Brock explained the situation very well.
“You have people like Glenn Beck who repeatedly and constantly refer to political opponents on the left as traitors, treasonists, Marxists, fascists, Nazi’s,” Brock said. “You can see that as entertainment but some people like Mr. Loughner are not going to see it as entertainment, they’re going to take it seriously.”
ABC reported Wednesday that Zach Osler, an old friend of Loughner, said the accused shooter didn’t express any interest in politics or news. Osler said Loughner was merely an angry person who “was shooting at the world” rather than carrying out a politically motivated attack.
“He did not watch TV. He disliked the news. He didn’t listen to political radio. He didn’t take sides. He wasn’t on the left. He wasn’t on the right,” Osler said.
There is no evidence that Loughner watched Glenn Beck’s program.
David Brock is guilty of the murder of millions of brain cells.
Leave Beck alone and go after Maher if media Matters needs a scapegoat
Time for Beck to call in the lawyers.
I’m thinking Beck, Palin, and all the other typical “targets” of the Left should start responding to these types of statements as follows:
“As for (name your Leftwing Loon)’s recent comment, we refuse to respond to anything as assinine and ridiculous as this type of statement. When Mr./Ms. (Leftwing Loon) chooses to discuss matters in an adult fashion, we will be glad to respond. Next story please...”
Nothing would drive these people over the edge faster than just plain ignoring them.
Don't shoot the messenger!*
Just because Beck points out that many on the Left actually are: traitors, treasonists, Marxists, fascists, Nazi’s-some by there own admission, does mean that he is the problem.
If the members on the Left would stop being traitors, treasonists, Marxists, fascists, Nazi’s, then Beck would not have a need to expose them.
*Note to the Left:
“Shoot the messenger” is merely an expression. It has nothing to do with actually shooting someone with a gun. An expression has to do with metaphor. I apologize that so many of the Left do not understand this subtlety. We on the Right do. Ask a Conservative to explain it to you
and speak
s l o w l y
in one syllable words if you do not get my meaning.
And the death threats against Beck?
And the death threats against Sarah?
And the SNIPERS WANTED graphic on a picture of President Bush?
Excuse me crazy people, but you are as deranged as can be.
You leftoid freaks are a danger to Glenn Beck and his family. Glenn has security that goes with him everywhere.
Beck is inundated with threats
SECOND: IF any of this can be substantiated -- and I doubt it -- any nut can claim influence from anything. Some murders claim a dog made them do it.
THIRD: A person's actions are never the responsibility of anyone else. What you do is what you do.
FOURTH: Free speech is in the Constitution, and what I say is protected by the Constitution.
FIFTH: Glen Beck is very explicit in denouncing violence. Much more explicit than David Brock is.
I think I heard Levin say last night that he’s considering a libel lawsuit. I suggest Beck do the same.
KOS: My CongressWOMAN [Giffords] voted against Nancy Pelosi! And is now DEAD to me!

He is a very small man..
I guess all those years of “Kill Bush,” “Kill Cheney” and “Abort Palin” are just lost on turncoat Brock.
He is driving the far-left loonies absolutely nuts.
They have never had to deal with a conservative who has his national exposure...well, except for Rush.
