Radio Host Threatens to Kill Michael Moore

Posted May 19, 2005, 12:08 PM ET by Karina Longworth
Filed under: Documentary, IndependentConservative radio host Glenn Beck, whose show is syndicated nationwide by a subsidiary of Clear Channel, is drawing not-nearly-enough fire for threatening on-air to kill Michael Moore. Beck, who previously branded Moore with a made-up charge of "taking help and money from Hezbollah", wondered aloud on Tuesday's show if he should be the one to exterminate the documentary filmmaker, or if he should hire someone to take care of the job. Apparently, Beck used to wear a "What Would Jesus Do?" bracelet that calmed him down when such thoughts popped into his head; but since taking the bracelet off, he says, "I've lost all sense of right and wrong now. I used to be able to say, 'Yeah, I'd kill Michael Moore,' and then I'd see the little [WWJD?] band ... [and] realize, 'Oh, you wouldn't kill Michael Moore. Or at least you wouldn't choke him to death.' And you know, well, I'm not sure." There's an audio clip of the incredibly flippant threat at mediamatters.org.

Anybody who listens to Glenn Beck knows he was kidding. You can't choke a whale and you can't choke Micheal Moore. If Beck wanted to kill him he would be talking about harpooning him.

Taken out of context............

[Windsong]

Quacks. The both of them.

LOL!!! That is classic Beck!!!

[JennysCool]

Taking things out of context is pretty much all the Left has left.

[freemama]

If you read in print what Beck said it sounds horrible. You have to listen to it to understand how terrible SARCASTIC he is in his humor.

Oh - wait - the left has no sense of humor. That's why they don't understand that Beck was just kidding!

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Michael Moore will implode under his own mass and turn into a black hole long before Beck really does anything to him.

I want to go out to the park with Michael Moore and a case or two of Moon Pies and play catch until I get tired.

[bannie]

"They" can dish it out; but "they" sure can't take it!

[BenLurkin]

Didn't Moore check himself into some kind of mental clinic last November?

He sure hasn't been seen much.

Or maybe it was a fat farm.

[TNdandelion]

LOL

No conservative wants to see Michael Moore dead. All we wish is for him to descend into irrelevancy for the rest of his life.

Dear Karina,
please hold while Glenn and I flip to see who gets first
chance at MM.

I kind of favor a 5 ton cream pie dropped from a helo,
but may have to go with something less.

tata.

[discipler]

Liberal weenies.

"No conservative wants to see Michael Moore dead. All we wish is for him to descend into irrelevancy for the rest of his life."


Wait -- not so fast! We still need him to "help" Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, just like he did for John Wilkes Kerry!

[silent_jonny]

This was obviously sarcasm from Beck, but look how the Left overreacts!

Meanwhile, on liberal Air America, they regularly muse about assassinating President Bush. Where's the media outcry?

[fish hawk]

It's a dirty job but somebody has to do it!

[Paul Atreides]

I think that Hollywood and the DNC are already jettisoning him, in time for '08.

[Tribune7]

LOL

I guess Glen was getting a dig at Airhead America for the hints its DJs have dropped concerning Dubya.

[scott says]

MM will implode under his own mass...
