2. I've actually reported this website to the FBI/Secret Service in the past
for threats against the president. They are a SCARY bunch. Lots of militia types there.

7. It's not about health care, believe me.
It's about our popular black President.

9. I suggest you anticipate that it will happen, and prepare accordingly
99% of it is just talk, and Beck himself is too much of a coward to actually do anything, but we shouldn't be caught off guard in case the last thread conecting them to sanity breaks.

4. speaking of whacked out websites
I went looking for what a "Vibrant Response Exercise" was and found this site. Ugh. The "ads" are truly disgusting, too. Jackals.

Man oh Man there are some really f'd up people in this country.

6. Yep; there are. Infowars is Alex Jones' website... a real nut
and a birther to boot.

I hope people are constantly keeping an eye on these sites. This is where the wackjobs seem to congregate. I was booted off of that timebomb site as far as posting goes as I made some comments about their threats which I shouldn't have done. Now I dont have access to all of their hidden areas which is where it gets even nuttier.

10. Glenn Beck's propaganda, and a definite link to the Pittsburgh cop-killer
Edited on Wed Aug-12-09 08:50 PM by Kievan Rus
http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/beck-and-nras-lapierre-warn-insidiou

On Thursday, March 19, Beck warned that Barack Obama was hellbent on taking all of America's guns away and ultimately eradicating the Second Amendment; when there was no indication at all that Obama had ANY gun legislation in mind at the time.

Sixteen days later on Saturday, April 4, a paranoid wingnut by the name of Richard Poplawski living in the Pittsburgh suburb of Stanton Heights had the cops called on him for a domestic dispute. Fearing that the police were coming to take all of his guns from him, Poplawski armed himself with an AK-47 and opened fire on the Pittsburgh Police officers, ultimately killing three and wounding two more.

Beck's rhetoric is dangerous and scary. However, Beck was far from the only hard-right carnival barker passing nonsense about Obama planning to confiscate guns. But it's scary that this dangerous rhetoric can push people over the edge and contribute to tragedies like the one there was in Pittsburgh in April (sadly, only the first of two wingnut terrorist attacks, with the gym shooting coming last week).

11. I am a afraid that things are getting out of hand. Obama needs to get on TV with everyone in that
Congress and Senate and state the facts that are not being given to the sheeple or there may be a lot of violence. I am really getting concerned after watching Rachael and Olbermann tonight. Rachael brought it out in numbers one right after the other......something big needs to be done. A announcement on TV hourly in all Newspapers ordered by the President with witnesses in our legislature on both sides stating the facts and saying that what has been told on websites (name them) and on Fox (name it) is not true. And name the insurance companies and pharma companies and their backhanded participation in the guise of help old people . com or whatever they call themselves. Action must be taken against those insighting violence.

13. I'm wondering where are all the DUers who said we were blowing this out of proportion
If anything, I was probably understating just how dangerous these assholes are.

16. A new friend is an in-law of m best friend. He is a medical professional,
and I respect his knowledge and commitment tremendously. But today he sent me an email with info from a guest of Glenn Beck that despises the UK NIH. I thanked him for the info, but told him that I can't tolerate beck because he's crazy and apparently his sponsors think so too.

I also told him our family's experiences with insurance and that there needs to be reform. I also told him the Stephen Hawking story. I was kind to him, but I won't be able to tolerate lies if he emails garbage.
