In addition to his repeated murder fantasies, Glenn Beck harbors apocalyptic fantasies of mass death–suggesting, for instance, that if the direction of the country doesn’t change, “God will wash this nation with blood.” (Barack Obama, are you listening?) But the Fox News host harbors many deranged obsessions.
He has long obsessed over Frances Fox Piven, the 78-year-old distinguished professor at the City University of New York. Central to Beck’s lies about Piven is the charge that a Nation article she co-wrote with Richard Cloward in 1966 somehow holds the blueprint for a violent leftist takeover of the United States. Beck’s similar fascination with the supposed threat posed by the Tides Foundation apparently led one of his fans to attempt an armed assault on the organization (FAIR Blog, 7/22/10).
Beck’s supposed anti-violence pledge, issued in the wake of the Tucson massacre, contains a bizarre equation of Piven with a violent paramilitary cult under indictment for plotting the wholesale murder of police officers:
I denounce violent threats and calls for the destruction of our system–regardless of their underlying ideology–whether they come from the Hutaree Militia or Frances Fox Piven.
Needless to say, equating Piven’s advocacy of grassroots democratic political activism with terrorism-based revolution is hardly an effective way to discourage violence. Unsurprisingly, some Beck followers have taken his demented fulminations a step further, posting death threats against Piven in the comment section of his website, the Blaze. As Democracy Now!‘s Amy Goodman recounted on her January 14 program:
On December 31, Glenn Beck’s website, the Blaze, published an article titled “Frances Fox Piven Rings in the New Year by Calling for Violent Revolution.” In response to that article, several readers posted direct death threats to Piven. A user named JST1425 wrote, quote, “Be very careful what you ask for, honey…. As I mentioned in previous posts…ONE SHOT…ONE KILL! ‘We the People’ will need to stand up for what is right…. A few well-placed marksmen with high-powered rifles…. Then there would not be any violence,” unquote.
User name SUPERWRENCH4 wrote, quote, “Somebody tell Frances I have 5000 roundas [sic] ready and I’ll give My life to take Our freedom back. Taking Her life and any who would enslave My children and grandchildren and call for violence should meet their demise as They wish. George Washington didn’t use His freedom of speech to defeat the British, He shot them,” unquote.
Another reader wrote on Glenn Beck’s website, quote, “We should blowup Piven’s office and home. And while at it. Keel haul Bernardine Dohrn under one of her freedom ships and blow up Bill Ayers’ house cars and anywhere he can be found,” unquote.
And a user who goes by the name GREEN_MANALISHI wrote, quote, “I’m all for violence and change Francis, where do your loved ones live?” unquote.
Despite the overt threats, Glenn Beck has not removed any of the messages from his site, even though readers of the Blaze are encouraged to highlight troublesome posts.
In Tucson last week, shooting victim James Eric Fuller was arrested after exclaiming “you’re dead” to a Tea Party activist who was criticizing gun control at a post-massacre forum. So apparently the laws against making violent threats still apply to some people.
UPDATE: Last June (6/10), Glenn Beck’s demonization of progressives took an eliminationist turn when he told his Fox News audience that “radicals”–he named Code Pink’s Jody Evans, environmental and civil rights activist Van Jones, University of Wisconsin professor Joel Rogers, progressive strategist Jeff Jones and labor leader Andy Stern–ought to be “shot in the head” by Democrats instead of being courted by them.
Addressing Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, about American “radicals” and “revolutionaries,” Beck said:
You’ve been using them? They believe in communism. 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.
They are dangerous because they believe. Karl Marx is their George Washington. You will never change their mind. And if they feel you have lied to them–they’re revolutionaries. Nancy Pelosi, those are the people you should be worried about.
Here is my advice when you’re dealing with people who believe in something that strongly–you take them seriously. You listen to their words and you believe that they will follow up with what they say.
Of course, there is no danger that Pelosi or other Democratic leaders will take Beck’s demented words to heart. The danger is that Beck devotees are being told by their hero that these dangerous progressives, who may be homicidal themselves, are worthy of assassination. It wouldn’t be the first or second time a Beck devotee took murderous action.
Note that Beck’s words were in dead earnest. Without a hint of irony, Time magazine’s civility panelist called for Democrats to assassinate American political activists.
People need to wake up the fact that Glenn Beck is simply another opinion pushing charlatan who is a product of mormon cult theology that he mixes with cherry picked parts of Catholicism and his personal core as a dry alcoholic. And for the record, he is a Mormon and not a Christian. The two are not the same as one is a cult and the other is a religion. This makes Glenn Beck one very twisted screwed up moron who sold his soul to the lowest common denominator of personal stupidity. And for the recordâ┚¬Ã‚¦the religion of Islam has far more in common with Christianity than the mormon cult.
Glenn Beck can be summarized simply as a dry mormon alcoholic who never got the counseling required for alcoholics. Those are his only qualifications for anything in life as he never went to college and definitely knows nothing about American History or the US Constitution. Because he does not possess a single ounce of journalistic integrity, this makes him the perfect abortion poster child for Fox Network. Considering the fact that Beck’s personal views are extreme Marxist Libertarian, his form of patriotism is false and he is a person who has no real substance or depth. He is definitely not a true conservative.
As with Joseph Smith or that 5th grade graduate who started the Jehovah’s Witness Cult, this over-paid idiot (Glenn Beck) got in bed with Satan a very long time ago. It’s really all about the money as hate, lies, promotion of ignorance and fear mongering are the only marketable skills that Glenn Beck has on his side and he has a growing flock of very impressionable idiots who do not understand the difference between a cult and a religion or truth & facts versus lies.
Glenn Beck consistently demonstrates all the unstable behaviors of a dry alcoholic which include grandiosity, judgmentalism, intolerance, impulsivity, ADD, indecisiveness and blindness to truth. In short, Beck, Limbaugh, O Reilly, Hannity, Palin, O Donnell, Coulter and others like them frequently pervert truth, history, facts, religion and the US Constitution when they open their big mouths. Beck is simply part of a national league of pseudo-conservative idiots who make big money by selling lies and half truths to impressionable fools who occupy the lowest levels of society. Basicallyâ┚¬Ã‚¦tea baggers and registered republicans who are condemned to repeat the mistakes of history.
How is it that Glenn Beck is not arrested for incitement to violence? He repeats well-known lies nearly endlessly to ill-educated malcontents. He uses words of violence and hate regularly. He urges “action” constantly, stopping just short of calling for armed violence and killing people he doesn’t like.
Is there anyone out there in law enforcement with the balls to bring Glenn Beck to account on his hate speech?
In defense of Mormonism…
First of all, I agree that Glenn Beck is “another opinion pushing charlatan” who “does not possess a single ounce of journalistic integrity” and propagates “hate, lies, promotion of ignorance and fear mongering.”
But that’s not the fault of the Mormon religion.
I grew up in Utah in a Mormon family from generations back. Although I ‘left the church’ when I was 14 years old and have issues with many of their (sexist/racist/homophobic) teachings, I still appreciate the very positive influence the church had on me. Through the Mormon church I learned:
– the importance of a close family
– the importance of hard work
– to love my neighbor
– to do unto others as I would have them do unto me
– to empathize with and help the less fortunate
– that the peacemakers are blessed, as well as the meek
For the record, Joseph Smith founded the ‘Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints’ as a ‘latter day’ continuation of the original ‘Church of Jesus Christ,’ which according to him had been lost through the ages.
He is considered one of many ‘prophets,’ but Jesus Christ is and always has been the central figure, and as in all Christian religions, Mormons believe He was crucified for our sins and that no one can get to heaven but through Him. Joseph Smith was important like Brigham Young was important like the current Mormon President/Prophet is important. They’re like Mormon popes.
I consider myself very fair, and in all fairness, the Mormon religion is very much a Christian religion.
And Glenn Beck does indeed “frequently pervert truth, history, facts, religion” and is supremely bad for our community and our democracy. But he didn’t learn it from the Mormons.
Beck, said, in an interview with MSNBC (surprised?) He said, he is/ his company is an entertainment company and doesn’t “give a flying crap about politics.” Well, that sounds good, but then if he doesn’t give a “flying crap” about politics, why then is he always on a tirade about our politicans? His phoney tears were shown on YOUTUBE, where he is sitting, applying vicks vapor rub under his eyes to make him “cry on demand.” Then turns makes pouting faces and laughs all the while the video is going and someone in the background is taking still photos as you see flash going off from time to time. The scary part is that some of his audience actually believe his BS and some have acted on it. I wish there was some way that either he tells his audience during the course of the program, that this is either supposedly a comedy (not really), but a satire – or a joke, not to be taken seriously by anyone.
Beck gets weirder and weirder as time goes by. Don’t people realize how much of a bozo he is?
As far as Republicans … they always say they don’t want to be political, or they are not really Republicans … they say TEA or Libertarian a lot, some even claim to be Democrats so they can spew their Republican BS once they get started.
Republicans are always dissembling the truth and trying to twist logic. They are always claiming for example the estate tax hurt the little guy when the facts showed there were ZERO little guys that got hurt by the estate tax … and “hurt” itself is an odd word to use when someone is inheriting millions of dollars. The other one is that they claim everything will hurt small business … but Republicans are so pro-big-corporation that they never think how much the big corporations are squashing and taking over every single small type business there is.
How many single owner run restaurants are still out there, video stores, dry cleaning stores, grocery markets, barber shops, pharmacies, hardware store … corporations are destroying small businesses and any chance any American has of standing on their own and being their own boss.
I am certainly willing to grant that Latter Day Saints are not Christians. In any case the two religions are quite different in doctrine. But they are both religious cults, as are all the variations of Buddhism. If you are Christian then you belong to some religious cult. If there is something wrong with cults then there is something wrong with religions.
To be attacked by Beck is one more tribute to Frances Fox Piven. She is grand!
One day someone will shoot Glenn Beck. It will likely be a military veteran fulfilling his or her enlistment oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Nice work, folks–you nailed it so I don’t have to, and your relatively measured responses have tempered my keen need to come in here and really lay into the butterball charlatan with some truly foul (but deserved) invective. Thanks for the fine work. Beware though–Beck has his low-brow admirers, fascist and totalitarian boot-lickers and nincompoops who will soon flutter in from Wingnuttia to defend the great man from the sharp arrow-points of the Truth. You have been warned; sometimes the best thing to do is ignore these fools, though sometimes stupidity calls for strong, unequivocal, foul-mouthed put-downs. Don’t be afraid. It’s possible to use violent language without using the rhetoric of violent, irrational attack.
Beck is just another voice.Just one man saying very simply that your government is lying to you.People give him too much sway.The grand theories about the monster that is Glen beck are all appearing on the left(just look at the blogs here).And why not?His words daily lay bare the lies of people on the left or those posing to be on the left. So He is now being attacked by George Soros backed/owned media because ,well we all know the Beck bloodied his twisted nose.I would think most people here would say I disagree with what he says- but will defend his right to say it to the death.Yet i don’t think anyone here will defend him at all.And that means you have lost the thread of who we are.Little advise.Turn off the radio/Tv.You are creating boogy men again.He is one opinion among man.Has he been right about a lot of things?Absolutely.So he carries some weight.But….He can not send your children to war.Raise your taxes.Tell you how to live your life.Not like the slick, smiling oh so amiable man named Barock Obama.How many times on these blogs i see lightning rods like Palin,beck,and limbaugh attacked on these Fair blogs.Never have I heard the man in charge sent to the wood shed.Why is that?
So no,bleat the day away my friends on the left.We on the conservative/ constitutional end- will keep our eye on the ball.These diversions wont work
Just an observation – without judgment, without irony – about the group of previous posts. Which was the ONLY one rife with misspellings, grammatical errors, bad punctuation and misplaced capitalization?
One can see the same grasp of the English language on the signs at any Tea Party rally.
frances scott piven was/is an obscure academic who co-authored a book entitled “regulating the poor” which was a standard social policy text at the most conservative “social professions ” depts in the usa-to wit the univ ky. she wrote an article in “the nation” 40 years ago entitled “the weight of the poor”-which became part of the “welfare rights” movement-as it argued that social workers and community advocates might be able to make the bureaucracy more responsive to the economically disadvantaged if all the people who were eligible-gasp-entitled- to benefits were encouraged to apply at roughly the same time.
this is hardly a leninist proposal,its no panacea for the problem of poverty,and dialectically,its not clear that the results would have been what dr.fox-piven seems to have intended.in any event ,the real cost of dealing with poor people as human beings with social rights-not just narrow legal rights would have been much,much lower than criminalizing them,and building the enormously expensive prison/industrial complex we have at the present time.
the article was reduced to mothballs until “common dreams” reprinted it last winter,and the book has long since been replaced in the “social professions ” syllabus by texts more sensitive to the “free market” orientation of the trustees down here at univ ky,and i suspect other places.dr.fox-piven is better known now,than she probably ever was-i understand she finds it rather disconcerting.
You know what Meems? Tee hee! I concur. :)
Far as I know only some of the various Christian denominations rail against Mormonism as a “cult” and “satanic” etc as part of their quiver of enemies they periodically vilify to make money and keep their flocks close to heel. As for Beck, he’s a sly one and obviously erratic and must be followed carefully. Since he and those with and behind him like Koch Inds. have real power and want people to absorb and regurgitate this false history that has been concocted. He keeps building up his/their points of view of history, people and gov’t with religion. It is insidious and powerful and must not be ignored. I just wish there was an anti-Beck using the same techniques to put the points across what the real history is. The real politics could help to diffuse some of it. Those on MSNBC are very good and they cater to a better educated audience. But we need to hit the Tea Baggers on their level.
Dave Luckens said that Frances Scott Piven promoted the idea that poor people entitled to assistance should be encouraged to take advantage of it and try to improve their status. This has apparently outraged Glenn Beck.
Dave went on to say “the real cost of dealing with poor people as human beings with social rights-not just narrow legal rights would have been much, much lower than criminalizing them,and building the enormously expensive prison/industrial complex we have at the present time.”
Yes, but—it wouldn’t have been nearly as profitable to Glenn’s Republican friends in the Prison Industrial Complex, would it?
No it wouldn’t, karenvista. And you know what, Roblimo? Your observation is, unfortunately, beyond the bounds of our current, brief flirtation with “civility.” Very accurate, though.
I knew Francis Fox Piven and Dick Cloward as professors of Social Work policy and community organization in the 60s and 70s when I was teaching the same at the University of Michigan School of Social Work. They were outspoken advocates human and civil rights for the poor, the unemployed, the unemployable and street youth and others in our society were discriminated against. They argued that change would only be brought about by mass organizing because their only source of power was numbers of bodies who spoke to power and took some of it. Those in power do not voluntarily share it. Whether Glenn likes it or not, that is the essence of participatory democracy. Representative democracy is not working in the USA now days.
A reasonable (as opposed to Glenn Beck and the Tea Party) critique of Piven and Cloward was written by John McWhorter in The New Republic:
http://www.tnr.com/article/politics/taking-out-my-eraser?page=0,2
It honestly turns my stomach to read this. How people have gotten the idea that murder is a solution and that they are so “angry” that they actually consider it. As Anti-Flag says, “Bullets can’t silence ideas.”
Hey, Paul H, Forgive me, but do you approve of the LGBT movement?The Head Mormon and the church spent money on Prop 8 against the gays. What is your position? In light of these tenets:
–to love my neighbor
â┚¬“ to do unto others as I would have them do unto me
â┚¬“ to empathize with and help the less fortunate
â┚¬“ that the peacemakers are blessed, as well as the meek.
Just curious.
Go Meems. Oh, and TimN, you, sir are a prognosticator, you predicted what immediately followed followed you when you said this:
Beware though–Beck has his low-brow admirers, fascist and totalitarian boot-lickers and nincompoops who will soon flutter in from Wingnuttia to defend the great man from the sharp arrow-points of the Truth. You have been warned; sometimes the best thing to do is ignore these fools, though sometimes stupidity calls for strong, unequivocal, foul-mouthed put-downs. Don’t be afraid. It’s possible to use violent language without using the rhetoric of violent, irrational attack.
And then Meems verified it.
Michael e., Name just one lie on the left that Beck has laid bare. Just one.
Beck, Palin, Limbaugh, Coulter, Ingraham, O’Reilly, Hannity, and others of the Right Wing Echo Chamber deserve stern rebuttal as often as they open their lying, cheating, stealing mouths. Unfortunately for America, there are not enough stern rebuttals to their slanted and disingenuous commentary in support of injustice, unfairness, and exclusivity.
I agree with Robin Miller that Glenn Beck is skating on thin ice. He’s got only so much “capital” that he can “invest” into the world before he experiences a “correction”.
@ TimN
Does the ‘N” stand for Nostradamus? Your prediction worked out perfectly.
Cheers
Helen
It’s amazing that after reading all the comments above that none of you see what is truly going on in our country. But yet, when Beck, Palin, Limbaugh, Coulter, Ingraham, O’Reilly & Hannity not only try to inform us but also give us proof people ignore what is right in front of them. But yet people stand up to defend people like Francis Fox Piven who are trying to create civil unrest in our cities…
Gloria, Really “none” of you? So the right leaning non thinkers are the great prognosticators. The people you named would not know evidence if they were sitting on it.
The people you named, list each one and just one of their revelations of what is “truly” going on in our country. One catch, it has to be true.
Palin—-death panels.
Limbaugh—costant racist spew.
Beck—conspiratory theorist.
Coulter—liar and dishonest rhetoric.
Ingraham—another pretty face with nothing else to offer.
O’Reilly—-supremely ignorant man, look it up.
Hannity—Tea Party shill, global warming is a hoax.
I’d like to know how people like you decide what is true and what is not. These people can be refuted in an hour on facts.
At least Piven was concerned about someone other than the rich and wealthy corporations and and extreme ideology. Schwarzaneggar found out about how Republican ideology fairs with reality.
I’m sure I’m deluding myself, but is there any high school civics class in which Piven & Cloward’s “Blaming the Victim” is not required reading? I wouldn’t want to detract from the other books very close to my heart, but that should be standard.
I recommend to Beck-lovers to take up a fund, buy him history books, along with a salary for the reader and the tutor. Psych guidance is preferred.
People need to wake up the fact that Glenn Beck is the biggest ASS in the world. This closet homosexual is simply another opinion pushing charlatan who is a product of mormon cult theology that he mixes with cherry picked parts of Catholicism, New Age Religions and his personal core as a washed up, dry alcoholic. He is a pretty messed up individual who possesses absolutely no personal integrity. And for the record, he is a Mormon and not a Christian. The two are not the same as one is a cult and the other is a religion. This makes Glenn Beck one very twisted screwed up moron who sold his soul to the lowest common denominator of personal stupidity. And for the recordâ┚¬Ã‚¦the religion of Islam has far more in common with Christianity than the mormon cult.

Um Agent of truth……Better keep that anger management appointment.I think to sum up your opinion ,you could of just said “Conservatives is stupider and libs are from Jupiter”.Now wipe the spittle from your lips and you may go on insulting Glen Beck.
Raymond….One lie Beck has uncorked?I could go on litterly all day but….How about the one that jumps to my evil capitalist mind. Rememeber the government trying to calm the fears of a coming calamity early in Obamas tenor, and the meltdowns epoch.Beck screamed sell sell sell.The government is lying.Buy gold for christ sake.Well I thought his case was spot on.Got out of everything i could and bought gold.Some of my friends did the same.So as everybody lost their shirt we made hay while the sun shined.Thank you thank yo thank you Mr Beck.So Ray….how did you do?I remember Kieth O saying Glen was crazy for his views.Hope he was just posing and bought gold.Seeing as he is out of a job and all :)
When you listen to him he will sound reasonable and accurate then he will through in a Christian Reconstructionist zinger rewriting history. (David Barton) That is how you sow a lie. You wrap it with truth. That is also how fiction writers do it. Like constructing a hoax, but not for fun.
Nightgaunt….I do feel uncomfortable with his religious overtones at times.Not that i feel it is any danger.Just bad radio.Stick to facts Glen I would tell him.Passion with those overtones that drive a man to almost weeping is just tiresome radio over time.Rush is a very religious man.I dont think I have ever heard him mix it in -in any way to his show.
I say let Beck rant and spew out his BS. If he wants his minions to do his bidding,so be it. Even w/out the Becks, people are at risk and have been. So, we can take care of the problem in any case.
i am 15 and i just learned about mccarthyism. glenn beck’s statements seem to be bordering it.
No one is giving Glenn Beck too much credit. When someone is making death threats to the people he targets with hate and lies that is to his credit. Beck has been attacking a 78 year old woman who wrote an article in the Nation Magazine he did not like. Obviously I would have agreed with the article, but Beck has been dragging this woman’s name through the mud and the people who watch his show are not all stable mentally. A man was in a gun battle with police on the way to kill some other people that Beck had demonized. So it is clear that some very emotionally unstable people are listening to the hate and evil from Beck and are inspired to threaten their lives and to kill as well. Beck is a conspiratorial idiot who is unchristian and is not worthy to have a program on any television.
You might spend a minute or two wondering about Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes, the billionaire republican owners of Fox News. They have demonized George Soros for years and who even knew who this man was. But of course he is an extremely wealthy Jewish Democrat who opposes the hate and lies that is the Fox agenda. Murdoch and Ailes are against Democrats, against President Obama and against the truth about most political issues. Soros has done nothing that is terrible other than being a person of great wealth who does not agree with their greed, their deception and their hateful lies about anything Democrats are working toward. What did Bush and republicans do for this country? Some very bad spending and very bad policies. What have Democrats and President Obama done for the country? A lot of good programs, laws and policies that benefit Americans and will help this country prosper. Republicans have just been lying about what Democrats have worked on for the country while they did nothing other than want failure for the policies, for Democrats and for the country. Rather sad really.
I’ve lived in Salt Lake City for 20 years. Any person free of tattoos, piercings or vividly colored hair is assumed to be Mormon – one of US. Individually, and in public they are friendly and seemingly tolerant of the differences of others. In groups where they are the majority, or in private settings â┚¬“ away from THEM â┚¬“ the tone changes dramatically and their paranoia becomes apparent. They strenuously re-assure themselves that the OTHERS – those who disagree with their religion or politics â┚¬“ are either stupid or evil, probably both.
Mormonism is considered non-Christian because it uses Christian terminology, re-defining it to reflect a non-trinitarian theology contrary to historic Christian beliefs. The word “Christian” is a noun, not an adjective. Calling Mormonism non-Christian is not a value judgement, but a clarification. Mormons believe that at a critical time in history their Church will step in to rescue the country from collapse. Glenn Beck promotes this without actually identifying it as a peculiar Mormon belief. Mormons “in the know” are familiar with this teaching but, for obvious reasons, are reluctant to discuss it publicly. Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, didn’t go like a sheep to the slaughter as the faithful have been taught, he died in a blaze of gunfire, shooting several others before he died. It is well known here in Mormon country (but not discussed in polite society) that his successor, Brigham Young advocated violence in dealing with dissenters. The decades long Mormon PR campaign has succeeded in convincing Americans that the Church is really “not that different”. The Mormon hierarchy is thrilled to have Glenn Beck covertly promoting its objectives while it maintains plausible deniability.
Why does it always have to be religion at the core of every blog, statement, opinion, political veiw ever expressed? If you people want to talk politics leave your religion out of the conversation. Seems to me religion has started more wars,caused more bloodshed than any political aspirations of anyone in history. Makes me sad to have to put up with religion, period. Evolution,fact. Religion? Maybe not. You live, you die, you rot, thats it, end of story.
Personaly i think Beck is nuts why he is still on tv I have no idea .Deeply disturbed man
I don’t think religion is the problem. I think it’s the human tendency to separate people into “them” and “us”. Some people of faith are certainly guilty of that but so are some atheists. There are many people of faith and people of no faith who are working together to try to build a peaceful world for all of us to live in. Unfortunately it doesn’t make for good ratings so their work often goes unnoticed.
Its funny you call this forum “FAIR”, nothing in this article even partially made it a level playing field for Mr. Beck, to Ms. Piven.
Amen Jordan. Whey read this article I laughed at the name of the website. Fair “if” you are on the left.
Thanks for the strategies you share through this website. In addition, lots of young women which become pregnant will not even try and get medical insurance because they dread they couldn’t qualify. Although a lot of states at this moment require that insurers offer coverage irrespective of the pre-existing conditions. Prices on these kind of guaranteed options are usually larger, but when considering the high cost of medical care it may be a new safer strategy to use to protect your current financial potential.
The only propaganda I see here is this disengenuous site’s insistence on re-casting the braindead, totalitarianism-fetishizing, violence-obsessed Francis Fox Piven as “distinguished”.
