Velveeta, o g,
Your thoughts on the transcripts?
“Your thoughts on the transcripts?”

It would appear that based upon the transcript/audio that Beck has some “wiggle room” as to whether he intended his remarks to be directed at Trump or one of Beck’s compatriots in the studio (Stu?). My feeling is, while this may be open to interpretation, Beck knew exactly what he was suggesting. Personally, I hope the Secret Service pays Glenn a visit to allow him to clarify his remarks for the record.
While that may seem “heavy handed” to some; I think Beck’s toying w/some very dangerous territory for anyone who has a nationwide broadcast audience.
As a point of reference, we had a case here in VA where a young man, who happened to be former Marine E-5, posted some violent song lyrics from a well known band that were misconstrued to be a threat against President Obama. The SS and Commonwealth authorities descended upon him immediately and the next thing he knew he was whisked away to a mental institution for evaluation w/o ever having been charged w/any offense. Fortunately, his mother contacted the Rutherford Institute and they were able to mount a legal defense that resulted in his being released after a few days.
Beck at least deserves some close scrutiny by the federal authorities after this latest stunt.
