Byron Williams and Glenn Beck

How many ''shooters'' did you mention? Enright-not a shooter. Ayers-not a shooter(and he was 40 years ago too). Crowder-not a shooter. So whats your point?

 

Hey let's not forget Becks more recent support of letting peoples houses burn down!

 

I read this and immediately thought of TomClown. How long will it take for Stephen Jones to turn Tommy Boy into a martyr?

 

Good one Davey.

 

Well, recent examples are:

James Von Brunn
Jim D. Adkisson
Richard Poplawski
John Patrick Bedell
Scott Roeder

Lest we forget Byron Williams

Recent enough for you?

 

Another interesting nugget:

RIGHT-WING VIOLENCE.... In light of the shootings at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in D.C. this afternoon, allegedly committed by white supremacist James Von Brunn, Matt Yglesias noted, "I hope that everyone who mau-maued the Department of Homeland Security for expressing concern about this kind of thing feel appropriately ashamed of themselves."

It's hardly an unreasonable point. Two months ago, Richard Poplawski, a right-wing extremist, allegedly gunned down three police officers in Pittsburgh, in part because he feared the non-existent "Obama gun ban." A few weeks ago, Scott Roeder, another right-wing extremist, allegedly assassinated Dr. George Tiller in Kansas. A few hours ago, Von Brunn, another right-wing extremist, allegedly opened fire at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

There are other recent examples that bear similar characteristics. This story out of Tennessee from last year continues to haunt.

Knoxville police Sunday evening searched the Levy Drive home of Jim David Adkisson after he allegedly entered the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church and killed two people and wounded six others during the presentation of a children's musical. [...]

Inside the house, officers found "Liberalism is a Mental Health Disorder" by radio talk show host Michael Savage, "Let Freedom Ring" by talk show host Sean Hannity, and "The O'Reilly Factor," by television talk show host Bill O'Reilly.

The shotgun-wielding suspect in Sunday's mass shooting at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church was motivated by a hatred of "the liberal movement," and he planned to shoot until police shot him, Knoxville Police Chief Sterling P. Owen IV said this morning.

Adkisson, 58, of Powell wrote a four-page letter in which he stated his "hatred of the liberal movement," Owen said. "Liberals in general, as well as gays."

Obviously, we're dealing with sick individuals here. There are key differences between violent right-wing radicals and mainstream Americans who happen to be conservative. Indeed, I'm not suggesting that conservative activists are necessarily dangerous, violent people.

I am suggesting that it makes sense of the Department of Homeland Security to coordinate and communicate with law enforcement agencies about potentially violent extremists -- of every ideological stripe -- to help prevent tragedies like the ones we've seen lately.

The DHS report specifically addressed the possibility of violence from anti-abortion radicals and anti-Semitic extremists. And in the last two weeks, Tiller was assassinated and a white supremacist opened fire at the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

The Republican hysteria over the DHS report -- which was, by the way, initiated by a Bush administration official -- was always based more on a partisan scheme than reality, but the incessant complaints look especially misguided today.

 

You notice how rlm disappeared right after he got exactly the answer he though didn't exist. Such commitment to the truth is so honorable eh?

 

I just did a quick serch of the web and came up with this list of current Right wing American groups some of who have a record of violece
•American Nazi Party
•Aryan Nations
•Aryan Brotherhood
•Creativity Movement
•Jew Watch
•Ku Klux Klan
•Libertarian National Socialist Green Party
•National Alliance
•National Independents Movement
•National Socialist Party of America
•NSDAP-AO
•Overthrow.com (Bill White)
•Stormfront.org
•White Aryan Resistance


Now to say that the far right in America has not commited any violent acts within the last 40 years other than the one mentioned is to be honest living with your head in the sand have a read of this it is just a sample then tell me that right wing violence dont exist

DeOrc,

The only problem with this example is that only about 0.000001% of the population would consider themselves to be members of any of these organizations. They comprising the REAL far right fringe.
The problem being that the term "Far Right" has expanded in definition (by individuals such as moen) to encompass just about every human being that isn't an Obama cheerleader. To people like moen, 50 to 60% of the country are "far right" and can be compared with these groups. Which has become an absolute joke. Such non-sense in fact, that it's hardly worth your time reading threads like these.

To the original question in this thread, I have to ask what scenario would Moen prefer? Would it be better for Beck to join the View and discuss mindless B.S. all day so that all the real, important things that enrage people don't get exposed?!!! Better to let these scumbag, career politicians operate in the shadows and let their transgressions remain hidden from public view?? The American public doesn't have a right to know who's donating to special interests or what's going on behind the scenes because ONE mentally unstable person MAY go off the deep end and act out in violence? So cut the show?? What a joke. More liberal, knee jerk response, B.S.

I listen to Beck daily on XM. The guy does his research and makes valid points. The LIES AND STUPIDITY that comes out of the mouths of people like Obama, Harry Reid and Pelosi are what drives the man insane!! Don't blame him!! Occasionally it comes out in strange, angry voices and outbursts, but that's just his personality. He's nothing more than a concerned citizen who is shocked daily, like the rest of us, by the current administration. Anybody that could find a way to hate the guy has a problem themselves.

 

I quite agree that they are a small percentage of the American population (Thankfuly) but the original jist of this thread was to do with Right wing fanatics and it was the responses dening that they exist!! that prompted my response.
Fanatics exist on both sides of the political spectrum and shoudnt be brushed under the carpet so to speak

 

It is funny how people can see the same person and categorize him as either left winger or right winger. I happened to come across this guy's story today in an article online today, remembered his name from here and looked him up. I saw him described as a right wing tea partier by some and as a left wing, anti-Bush, 911 truther and registered Democrat by others.
