A Pledge of Non-Violence
Dear Mr. Beck,
I watch your show every day (not really) and I would just like you to know that I took your pledge of non-violence because I too, am someone who believes that people have the right to stand up for what they believe in…even if those things are inherently stupid, unproductive and possibly dangerous.
Glenn, I fear that your “pledge” is just an excuse for you to cover your ass just in case something goes horribly wrong. If you have nothing to fear, then why post the pledge? Why preach non-violence if you don’t fear your words could incite it?
With that being said, can you please apologize to the police officers in California that were shot at by Byron Williams because he wanted to start a revolution by planning to kill a bunch of people at the Tides Foundation? You love to mention the Tides Foundation on your show and talk about how dangerous progressives are. I know you’re hoping this guy doesn’t mention you when he’s being interrogated about why he did what he did. You’re also probably praying that one or two of your books isn’t found in his home.
These organizations you attack, the things you say, scare the crap out of people. Our freedoms are not under attack. President Obama is not a Marxist. Stop having fiction writers on your show and stop writing books like the Overton Window that deal with issues like government takeovers and grassroots revolution. Your audience needs you to guide them because they can’t seem to guide themselves to the facts. “I’m a father, I’m tired,” is not a good excuse. Either man up and take responsibility or go home and sit on your millions.
What you’re doing is not helping the American people you claim to love so much. I can’t identify the purpose of what you do. It’s clearly not to educate people on the facts.
I’d rather be poor man with reason than a rich, ignorant buffoon like you.
Sincerely,
Civilized society.
