Media Matter Blames Beck!

[Sarah G]

Media Matter is trying to shut down any dissent from the Obama Ministry of Truth by holding, wait for it, Glenn Beck responsible for the actions of an individual who tried to attack the Tides Foundation.

Beck's crime? He did...a story!!! on the Tides Foundation!!! Is that even legal?!

Beck denies being "responsible" for planned massacre at office of group he demonized | Media Matters for America

Then Media Matters sent this out this afternoon:

"Dear Friend,

On Sunday, July 18, unhinged ex-convict Byron Williams loaded his truck with guns and headed up a California highway with the intention of starting a revolution. If he hadn't been stopped by brave officers -- two of whom were wounded in the confrontation -- he could have carried out a plan to kill staff at progressive organizations, including the Tides Foundation.

What is the Tides Foundation? It's the nonprofit that Glenn Beck brags about "turning the light of day" on by constantly attacking it as part of a socialist conspiracy to destroy our government. The Tides Foundation isn't the shadowy political influence of Beck's fantasies -- it's a transparent organization known in the philanthropic community for doing good public service. Make no mistake: Beck's intention was to paint the Tides Foundation as a dangerous, increasingly powerful threat to freedom that must be stopped. And Williams set out to stop them. ..."

What?????????????????????

Were the Beatles responsible for Charles Manson?

You know Beck had a good thing going for him then he had add the psycho factor like a lot of Cons do. Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, Rush, all those crazy extremist tea partiers, etc..

They limit themselves because only other extremists can ever agree with them.

There was an attack on the TIDES Foundation?

Ironic, a group dedicated to revolution, being threatened by a counter revolutionary.

Oh and btw. Name calling really doesnt disprove anything he says.

Here you go Frank...a brainwashed Beck pea brain that endorses the planned attack.

Is planning murders a first amendment right?

Im endorsing an attack? Really?

Do you have reading comprehension issues? Cause you really should address those if you want to participate on a message board.

Funny, you guys were saying he was psycho long before he went over to Fox. When exactly did he add this psycho factor?

And why is it you can't actually deal with what he says? I mean he is totally psycho for quoting people and organizations that freely share who they are and what their purposes are. Very psycho. We should just ignore the man behind the curtain.

Williams was reportedly heavily armed with a handgun, shotgun, rifle and body armor. Shortly after the shooting, a CHP sergeant said that "There is no doubt in our mind, given the body armor and the extensive amount of ammunition he had, that he was on his way to do a very serious crime against either someone or a group of people" And indeed, Williams reportedly told investigators that "his intention was to start a revolution by traveling to San Francisco and killing people of importance at the Tides Foundation and the ACLU."

The ACLU is a very well-known entity, but the Tides Foundation, which seeks to "promote economic justice, robust democratic processes, and the opportunity to live in a healthy and sustainable environment where human rights are preserved and protected," is much more obscure.

Williams may have been a disturbed individual who was destined to explode. But the question the media should be asking is why he decided to target Tides.

Wow.. Beck spoke about the Tides Foundation. Obviously He wanted people to go out and, you know kill them.

I mean how can anyone not reach the obvious conclusion that talking about an organization means you want them dead.

I talk about Democrats. I talk about Republicans. I talk about my Church. I talk about these things all the time. According to your logic, I want someone to go out and kill them all.

Fabulous critical analysis there. And you wonder why we think you are a dishonest partisan hack.

 

[cad]

you found the smoking gun. beck talked about Tides. where does he advocate violence?

I could deal with it if I cared enough to listen. He is psychotic. You want to base your pov on what one of these dopes has to say, be my guest.

I am not accusing Beck of wanting them dead. BUT, Glenn Beck DID constantly and consistently portray the Tides Foundation as a dangerous and dire enemy of America.

What you or I say on this tiny little piece of cyberspace has little or no exposure. Glenn Beck's lies and propaganda about the Tides Foundation was broadcast across the world nightly, and that adds credibility and justification to a sick, twisted mind like Byron Williams.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

This Administration portrays US Veterans potentially "a dangerous and dire enemy of America."

 

[peach174]

You all don't watch GlennBeck do ya? He is always and consistently saying that violence is not the answer.

Most of Beck's quotes simply point out who gave money to Tides, or who Tides gave money to. Where does Beck lie?

So you dont listen to what he has to say but have concluded that he is psychotic.

I seriously hope if I ever get falsely accused of a crime that you aren't on my jury.

They are dangerous. They are a propaganda organization.

and yes you did accuse Beck of wanting them dead. You posted all of that in the specific response to my request to show where Beck advocated killing anyone. Stop trying to backtrack now that you've been shown to be talking out of your rear.

You know, it's not as much the accusation that annoys me as much as it is with you trying to blatantly claim you didn't make it. We aren't freakin stupid. We can read the conversation.

How would they know? It's not like they've ever bothered watching what Glenn has to say.
