Frances Fox Piven is a profressor at NYU and has been targeted for about two years on Glenn Beck's show. She tells an account of two men posing as students who asked to interview her for their term paper on her book "Challenging Authority". Turns out they were nothing more than one Andrew Breitbart's goons. Also "Democracy Now!" shows people's comments about Frances Fox Piven on Glenn Beck's website "The Blaze". People were making death threats on the site and posting up her address. I got to tell you. After watching this video and hearing Frances Fox Piven speak about this I really fear for her safety. She claims to not be as afraid as she should but after hearing her speak you can tell otherwise. Damn, the far right has no shame.

1. I heard it when it was first broadcast.

It's a damn shame this kind of reporting isn't the norm.

2. Could this be also posted in the Gun forum?

I'd like to see what they have to say...

3. Just like Bill O'Rielly kept hammering away at Dr. Tiller until a crazy goon

murdered the man, Glenn Beck is doing it to Frances Fox Piven.

Day after day, after day, these innocent people get targeted by the irresponsible insane network FOX and eventually are murdered by a goon who feeds into the Rupert network.

Just like Sarah didn't pull the trigger and Bill didn't load the gun, both of them aimed the weapons that shot and murdered people through their hate mongering.

Now Glenn is lining up a new target. I hope and pray Professor Piven gets some protection because the goons are listening to the Rupert network.

Who is going to be the next innocent victim?

4. That is an incredible piece. Thank you for posting it.

When I heard her speak of Breitbart and the tricks they pulled on her to get clips for their propaganda, as well as the death threats, the hair stood up on my arms and I don't even have any!

This should be posted again and again for people on DU to listen to. It supports what we've been saying, or at least suspecting, for a long, long time.

I am shocked and also fear for Frances Fox Piven's safety.

5. Thanks for the infornation- I had no idea.

I guess I have seen outlandish comments on utube sometimes from unhinged righties, I am still shocked when I hear these violent threats on Glennie's website (or Palin's)- with addresses etc no less- and nobody is taking this to court in the public interest. (Huh?) This is way beyond the proverbial yelling fire in a theater. Considering the Chicago 7 pic's were shown in every post office in the country as the top 10 most wanted back in the late 60's, what in the world is the FBI doing about this??? Where's the FBI??? In jest, I can only imagine they're smoking the contraband they seem to enjoy focusing on.

6. The last part of this show is the most disturbing part

the death threats and the general insanity from Beck and his followers
