I thought it looked like he wore one.

[skeeter]

Yeah, and the left will be smirking all the way to irrelevancy.

Why would Beck be in any danger? DC has all sorts of "tough anti gun laws restrictions." There's NO WAY anyone with ill intent could have possibly brought a gun to DC!

[Anti-Bubba182]

He should wear body armor in public. I hope he has bodyguards too.

[MNJohnnie]

Considering how he has had the FBI on his TV set because of death threats, it probably was a prudent move on his part.

[bergmeid]

Did Sarah wear one?

[RexBeach]

Boy, nothing gets by Mr. Sisk(we had a number of postings on this yesterday).

[albie]

Of course he wore a vest. I’m surprised he didn’t wear a suit of armor! Beck AND Palin on the same stage?! Forget about it.

[Alter Kaker]

Is it just me or is Beck suffering from something of a Messiah complex?

I think he half expected to be "martyred" at the rally, before returning to his Fox show three days later...

[Spok]

Given the propensities of the tolerant, non-judgmental, free speech loving left, I’d wear one too.

[paulycy]

Twitter had many accounts of slime calling literally for the assassination of Glenn Beck all day Saturday.

And Glenn said yesterday that both he and Sarah wore armor.

Liberals hate Beck - and in spite of their ‘good press’ - liberals are the violent ones in our culture. Beck was smart to take this common sense precaution.

One need only watch a few minutes of MSNBC to realize the MOST HATEFUL folks in this country are LIBERALS. The further left they are the more they hate.

Glen said that the only reason he wore the vest was because his wife wanted it. He put his trust in God.

[GnuHere]

The author says Beck is wearing a vest due to “his conspiracy theories” - what an idiot. He gets death threats on a regular basis, I’m sure. Thus the need for 5 guards around him just to shake hands.

[TommyDale]

The vest was the first thing I noticed on Saturday. I pointed it out on Facebook at the time.

[Oldpuppymax]

I don’t blame him. I wonder if leftist MSM types will ask Hussein why he doesn’t give speeches to large, uncontrolled crowds, why he doesn’t appear in true PUBLIC settings or why any room in which he does speak is carefully stacked with his own worshipers??

[GunningForTheBuddha]

He’s crazy, not stupid.

[tina07]

I could tell he had one on, don’t blame him since many whackos out there want him dead.
