I'm not so positive that she is a "lady" --- however, I agree with you that going after an elderly senior citizen is not the wisest choice, and I'm frankly surprised that FOX permitted it.
This will backfire BADLY if she gets hurt in ANY manner, or even if shortly after all this stress she develops cancer or has a heart attack....
AND then.... all the comments by Beck will be played & replayed again & again & again & again, and will be less a reflection up Glenn and will be blamed upon Conservatives.In.General.
You got that right.
And, actually, going after an old lady would be more damaging to a guy with a more masculine image. With his soft features and his tearful emotional affect, Beck has at best an androgynous image that will allow him to get away with more than most guys.
