1. Here was my letter
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."

Is this what Direct TV stands for? I believe this is called a death threat. He is advocating hiring a "hit man". He admits, "I've lost all sight of right and wrong".

Please do what is right. .

2. Glad to hear it.

Sadly, this is a pretty common thing from Beck. For instance, Beck ran some questionable quotes from the mayor of Columbus, Ohio not that long ago, and I swear, they sounded all cut-up, like Beck had fucked with them in some way.
