Glenn Beck urges his followers not to kill public figures.

What does it say that crazy, crazy Glenn Beck feels he has to spend 3 minutes on his TV show to implore his people not to engage in Timothy McVeigh type violence? (No, I'm not kidding.)

(Is this a network "forced" statement after his "Obama has a deep seated hatred of white people" comment?)

And, if you'll notice, his objection isn't so much that bombings would be wrong and kill people, but that "liberals" would use such incidents against his causes.

  • What is it about the current GOP psyche that they seem to only stand for hate, violence and war. Yet they proclaim that they are the most christian political group.

    Are they just Xtian Nationalists? Existing in an echo chamber that just reinforces their fear and ignorance? I have yet to find a truly moral or legal stance that isn't undermined by a contradictory stance ie. "pro-life" yet they are incredibly pro-death penalty and war is the answer for everything.

    I don't know how they can live in their own minds with such schizoid opinions.

  • Because they're righteous.

    Yes. There is a great dichotomy in the GOP's profession of Christianity and it's rhetoric, positions, and tactics. It's truly amazing to those outside, but inside, it's more about adherence and fundamentalism (political) than it is about logic. A fundamentalist group under pressure tends towards more strict enforcement of beliefs, not reexamination, pushing the group further out towards its edge.
