What happened to the Glenn Beck and Michael Moore story

[DemonFighterLives]

Does anyone know? I just checked MM.com and he never seemed to mention it. I didn't hear if Beck apologised or laughed or what and never got a reply from the FCC.

1. What's the story about

somehow I missed it

2. Got this quote from the media forum:

Below is a transcript from the Glenn Beck show on May 17th. Your firm is sponsoring a threat of murder.

"BECK: Hang on, let me just tell you what I'm thinking. I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong? I stopped wearing my What Would Jesus -- band -- Do, and I've lost all sense of right and wrong now. I used to be able to say, "Yeah, I'd kill Michael Moore," and then I'd see the little band: What Would Jesus Do? And then I'd realize, "Oh, you wouldn't kill Michael Moore. Or at least you wouldn't choke him to death." And you know, well, I'm not sure."

He threatened Michael Moore on air.

3. Glenn Beck said he wanted to kill Michael Moore

but that his WWJD bracelet kept him from doing it.



Or something like that.

4. I'm being lazy this morning

But somewhere there is the clip of him babbling about wanting to kill Moore. Many DU'ers wrote to FCC, Clear Channel and Sponsors of Beck. I wrote to some and was thinking Moore would be on him like stink on sh*t but I'm seeing no outrage. Freepers who I have talked to only poopooed it. I guess it was humor in thier eyes.

6. Beck lost a sponsor. I don't know how to link to thread, but it was

DirectTV.

8. I didn't find that

Here is a weekly recap from Media Matters:
Speaking of bizarre right-wing murder fantasies: On May 18, Media Matters revealed that Clear Channel radio host Glenn Beck said on-air that he was "thinking about killing Michael Moore" and wondered whether "I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it."

And the media didn't care.

Beck is syndicated on more than 100 radio stations; 3 million people listen to him each week -- as many as listen to Don Imus and O'Reilly -- and he fantasized on-air about killing a man. And there has been no outrage, no uproar, no media coverage at all -- save one article in the Columbus Dispatch that reported that two liberal radio hosts "needle conservative radio talk-show host Glenn Beck for saying he'd like to kill Michael Moore."

An obscure college professor named Ward Churchill wrote an obscure essay comparing victims of 9/11 to Nazis, after which an obscure college invited him to speak to a few hundred students -- and suddenly you couldn't turn on the television without hearing his name. A search of the Lexis-Nexis database yields more than 700 "hits" for "Ward Churchill and Nazi"; Bill O'Reilly alone has covered Churchill on 25 separate shows this year, according to the weblog CJR Daily.

Yet a right-wing radio host with a weekly audience in the millions can openly contemplate killing a man, and news outlets don't consider this a story.

At least he hasn't been featured on the cover of Time -- yet.

This story followed the fantasy that O'reily had of beheading Michael Kinsley.

How can these weirdos get away with this?

7. I called the Montgomery D.A. AND they said

to call the Police, the detective? told me that they were not interested! and that I should try the FCC.

God damned repukes can do, or say, ANYTHING with no repercussions

9. Ain't that something

If you heard this kind of talk down at the Laundromat they would take notice, but spewing it out to 30 million freeptards doesn't count.

10. I e-mailed the FCC, but never heard back from them. Drudge has

been silent on this one, but boy did he ever give Randi Rhodes hell on the AAARP skit..

11. They never replied to me

Maybe I'll send the FCC another just for sh*ts and giggles.
I had the freepers on another board throwing up the Rhandi thing to shield their side from attack. When I heard the Rhandi skit, it wasn't even the pres. who was being shot at. Am I wrong?

Truth doesn't matter to the righties, just spewing points.
