Scary Fox News Shit
The key here, is plausible deniability.
Fox News bullshitter Glenn Beck pleads with his viewing audience to NOT kill the people they disagree with.
Gawker is running with the theory that the folks at Fox are becoming increasingly concerned about the ferocity of the shitstorms they’ve kicked up, citing Shepard Smith’s recent offhand mention of the crazies they know are watching at home.
This bizarre and almost chilling clip is a bit like watching Beck pull down the mask and wink at the audience. For just a moment the blowhard character steps back and is interrupted by the more than slightly terrified performer who hides within. It’s one thing to play a bad guy, quite another to turn around and see the bad guys that will follow you.

I’m suprised that you show such disgust for a man that is denouncing violence. Imagine your comments if he was attempting to justify violent acts.

But he’s not denouncing violence my brother, he’s fanning its flames while creating just enough of a perception of distance to wash his hands should things get ugly.
Oh – and when “violent acts” do happen, I guarantee Glen Beck will be among the first to attempt to justify them.
