Glenn Beck Repudiates Broden’s Violent Overthrow Comments: ‘What Are You Thinking?’

Sounds like Glenn Beck is the one who likes to take passages (especially the closing sentence) of the Declaration of Independence out of context. What do you think the Founders were intending when they signed it? Are our founding documents no longer valid, Glenn, or just the passages you like for your show?

[Parley Baer]

Well violence is the last resort but I see nothing wrong with Broden’s statement.

[achilles2000]

Apparently Beck rejects Jefferson, who wrote about watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants and other armed resistance kinds of stuff. Beck - what a sissy.

nobody on the right needs to be talking about a violent overthrow of the government a week and a half before the most important election in years.. idiocy

[humblegunner]

I heard that this morning.

I thought Beck was sounding a bit pussified.
Perhaps, failing other options, we should wave our hankies at the bad guys and weep soulfully?

I say bring it before I get too damned old.

For those of you who don’t know, Pastor Broden is a black minister in South Dallas who is up against Eddie Bernice Johnson who was in recent trouble for giving scholarship money to relatives and kids of aides—money she was couldn’t be used on anyone else because no one qualified had applied for it. He’s a big believer in our God-given freedoms and was pushed (IMO) into admitting that if our liberties are taken away, there could be a violent overthrow of the government. I don’t see anything wrong with his comments—however, I didn’t hear them in the entire context of the interview.

[cripplecreek]

Agreed, Broden is correct but saying it right right now is playing into the hands of the left.

[LibFreeUSA]

Totally agree!

I detect a touch of “martyre syndrome” in Beck.

[grobdriver]

Joe Stack Was Right.

[GeronL]

I guess Glenn Beck believes the media doesn’t lie about conservatives.

[GeronL]

Article 1 of the Texas Constitution says that as long as its a Republic form of government the people have the right to alter, abolish the government as they see fit.

[TxDas]

Do we get to use a guillotine?

[LibFreeUSA]

Let’s not turn America into a ‘Banana Republic’. As long as there is legitimacy in the voting process, it is totally irresponsible idiotic to inject any violent intent into the campaign.

[GeronL]

Glenn Beck has fallen for the leftstream media trick again

[Marty62]

Ofcourse the DECLARATION was an act that would provoke WAR.

GB needs to get his story straight.

[freekitty]

Agree

[KC_Lion]

Oh Glenn, I love you but you a such a silly goose sometimes,........... HOW DO YOU THINK WE GOT OUR INDEPENDENCE FROM THE UK!!!!!! ITS NOT CALLED THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR BECAUSE WASHINGTON,GREENE AND GATES ALL SAT DOWN VOTED THE BRITISH OUT!!!!

I mean Really, he would have called Sam Adams and the Sons of Liberty thugs because they Tared and Feathered The Royal Officials!!!!

[allmendream]

He sounded like a crybaby ready to throw a hissy fit if he didn't get his way.

Unless the elections provide a “change in leadership” and are “producing results”, he advocates armed insurrection against our Constitutional form of governance.

Imagine if in 2006 a left winger were saying that unless the 2006 election brought about a “change in leadership” and was “producing results” they were going to go Rambo on us?

Would anyone here be quoting Thomas Jefferson in that person's defense?
