Glenn Beck Under Investigation For Alleged Threat Against Trump
CBS DFW ^ | 3/4/16 | CBS DFW

Posted on 03/05/2016 5:54:30 AM PST by jimbo123

Conservative radio host Glenn Beck is under investigation after a comment he made on his radio show when talking about GOP front-runner Donald Trump. Beck says his comment was not directed towards the presidential candidate.

This appears to be a misunderstanding but the Secret Service tells CBS11 it’s aware of the comment and will conduct an appropriate follow-up investigation.

I don't get into trouble for my rants at the television,
but I don't go live over the air to people.
I also don't rant about causing physical harm to anyone.

I believe beck was talking about Donald Trump.
Politics can be a blood sport.

But, you can't go on your show, and publicly say that you want to do this,
without expecting that people are going to pay attention.

And it doesn't matter who you say you were talking about.

If Ted Cruz doesn't separate himself from beck after this, it's a problem.

Beck should have his CCW revoked, too.

Is this along the same lines as saying you could go into times square and shoot someone and get away with it?


I have a feeling you do in fact know that what you posted is not true. Why do you follow along the same lines as the hated media?

Nope, not even a nice try.

Trump said "They say I could ...."

Not even close to what you're trying to imply.

Only if the secret service shows up. Then it is along the same lines.

I’ve heard it, it’s clear to anyone who is listening and not spinning this was about Trump.

Beck was once very respected for his patriotic preservation of America and American history and values.

He has earned and enjoyed fame and credibility, along with a large listening audience.

To the world of crazy, Beck might sound reasonable, even prophetic, and his rantings might well be taken seriously and perhaps acted on.

Investors, networks, individual stations generally would rather not be a part of that sort of crazy, let alone be promoting it.

With great power often comes great consequences, especially if you're crazy stupid with it.

Time to take a break, Glenn, before you really eff things up for yourself and others.

Do it now, before the demons have gone too far and you do real damage. Let it go.

You don't want to find out how heavy that burden is, nor do you look like the type who carries that weight well.

Take a break, Glenn, far, far away from all of this.

A lot was made of Trump ‘not disavowing’ the KKK David Duke.

Cruz should be hounded to disavow Glenn Beck for his threat to kill Trump.

Typical, get caught in a lie, move goal post by calling target name.

You go to school to learn that or does it come naturally?

Glenn is betraying all the people who went to Washington and who listen to him. His remarks over the last three months are a problem for the people who believed he was doing the right thing then. Ted can’t keep caring this loaded knife.

If we could get 10 people together and attend one of Ted’s Rallies, we could completely outnumber his supporters and force the issue.

Operation Chaos.

When he had his show on Fox I would often say to the wife I wish I had a history teacher like him in school.

I really wonder what happened to that guy on Fox, sad to see him this way.

Clearly a solicitation to murder. Words have consequences. His vitriolic show needs to be off the air and he needs a straight jacket.
If there is a Tea Party, they need to disassociate with Beck.
Cruz needs to be condemning and running from this kind of jackass or suspend his campaign.
If Beck represents conservatives in America, count me out.
