‘You’re going to have to shoot them in the head,’ Beck said of Democratic leaders | Raw Story
I shudder to think that thousands tune in to hear this conspiratorial, incendiary rubbish. To believe that the Democrats are anything close to communists is insanity. Can this culture get anymore pathetic; fucked up; hopeless?
My bet is yes.
Discussing Democratic leaders during a June broadcast for the Republican Fox News Channel, conspiracy host Glenn Beck told his followers they would have to "shoot them in the head" in order to bring an end to an alleged "communist" agenda.
"They believe in communism," he said. "They believe and have called for a revolution. You're going to have to shoot them in the head. But warning, they may shoot you."
A transcript of Beck's show was still available on the Fox News website. (Screenshot.)
In the very next breath, he mentioned then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), claiming her "George Washington" was "Karl Marx."
For context, more of Beck's contentious statement is reflected below:
"Tea parties believe in small government. We believe in returning to the principles of our Founding Fathers. We respect them. We revere them. Shoot me in the head before I stop talking about the Founders. Shoot me in the head if you try to change our government.
"I will stand against you and so will millions of others. We believe in something. You in the media and most in Washington don't. The radicals that you and Washington have co-opted and brought in wearing sheep's clothing — change the pose. You will get the ends.
I shudder to think that thousands tune in to hear this conspiratorial, incendiary rubbish. To believe that the Democrats are anything close to communists is insanity. Can this culture get anymore pathetic; fucked up; hopeless?
My bet is yes.
