I like his statement, it is a nonsense, he is not supporting people who rise up in anger or vengence, so Mr Beck, how about people who rise up just to restore a constitutional government?
It sounds to me like he is saying he would support them.
Besides no one has control over what will happen if violence breaks out. History shows many times that all of a sudden it just happens..........Tens of thousands of people just take to the streets, if millions did it would bring down the fascists in our government and a constitutional government could be re-installed.....
...and in return for your love offering of $10, $15 or $20, I will send you a prayer towel...........
Maybe. I think he is merely a fair weather patriot who will sideline himself when it comes to backing up the rhetoric. He only wishes to protest when the authoritarian yoke gets heavier (for as long as his overlords allow it, of course), never thinking of ever casting off the yoke.
silly televangelist...
See tag line.
It’s way too complicated. Nothing is cut and dry. But I know where Glenn Beck is coming from. There is a guy named Pete Santili, who was behind the Truckers Boycott in D.C., and there is two guys Alex Jones and his rival Jeff Rense. There are others as well like Jack Blood, Michael Rivero, and Adam Kokesh. They are all radio hosts, but underground hosts on the net or fringe radio networks. They peddle in conspiracy and they all love 9-11 conspiracies too. Not all, but some of them, especially Pete Santilli and Adam Kokesh have been advocating violence. On Monday when Glenn Beck said that some people and some sites have been egging on violence, I am 100% sure he meant them.
Glenn singled out one site, but did not name it. He said they jumped on the rancher stuff and have been advocating war instead of a resolution to Bundy’s case. Beck said he doesn’t trust that “site” and that it would ruin the tea party if things got violent and people who were probably “plants” started stuff.
I am unsure exactly what site he meant. But I have ideas. One is Alex Jones’ Info Wars, another is Pete Santilli’s site Guerrilla Media Network, a third option is Michael Rivero’s site What Really Happened and the fourth candidate is Adam Kokesh’s site for his new radio show Adam Vs. The Man, which used to be a RT America show. There are probably others, but those came to mind.
It would be quick to single out Alex Jones and his two sites Info Wars and Prison Planet. But I think he meant Pete Santilli and Guerrilla Media Network because he is egging on violence in this situation and he was personally there on Saturday. Those guys are a bit too “radical” and no longer want to deal in politics but want disobedience and disorder to start stuff. I am sure he is not the only one, but he fits the bill that Glenn was talking about.
Glenn feels the tea party is close to winning the mid-terms, taking back the senate, and the DNC wants people like those “guys” with Pete to start stuff. Glenn is worried that hot heads who do not care are going to go rouge like the people on the left. Glenn knows most people on the right are law abiding peaceful people. So he is warning people to becareful because bad elements have entered the “movement.”
Glenn Beck is also saying that anybody supporting confrontation instead of exhausting every avenue like winning back the senate and helping out candidates is not a “good guy.” He blasted anybody wanting violence for not using that energy to help candidates win back the senate and stop Obama’s agenda. Any confrontation might result in martial law. And it doesn’t gain much but problems. It is not time for war he said.
That’s his take.
Please forgive my spelling and punctuation in my past comments... I don’t comment much here, but i just wanted to share my thoughts on the subject! I’ve visited FR every day for several years now, and i agree 99.7% of the time with most point of views shared here! I just have a difficult time seeing the benefit in supporting this particular fight! Again, I don’t have all the answers here, but i just know for me... supporting this rancher doesn’t meet the qualifications of my core values!
He is incredibly histrionic and this article is just more proof of that. Since when is standing up for your freedom vengeance? He has made a name for himself and plenty of profit by screaming against all the injustice of our government and now that allot of people are awake to it wants to distance himself for fear of risking his new fortune. He’s no different than the politicians who promise to do everything right when running for office and then as soon as they are elected and tempted with money from the lobbyists quickly walk lockstep with them to get paid.
And by the way, what exactly did his march on the mall accomplish? How about nothing. And neither does voting anymore in my opinion. The only votes that seem to be counted are from the local cemetery.
And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.Not likely that Beck would have been among those that didn’t run away at the sight of Goliath.

STFU, asshole. And I say that without any anger whatsoever.
