Treason is a crime that is specifically defined in the Constitution. For it to be charged, America must be formally at war, and since Congress has declared no war, the charge of treason may not be invoked against Glen Beck and his cohorts at Fox. However, Webster defines sedition as: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority. That is the charge to level against Glen Beck, Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes
Days after host Eric Bolling used scripted news teases and online graphics to portray hip-hop artist Common and the president of Gabon as a couple of the "hoods" that President Obama hosted in "the hizzy," an image of Obama appeared onscreen during the Monday episode of Glenn Beck at the exact moment Beck asked, "Why would you get a gun?"
Earlier in the episode Beck claimed that "others," including President Obama and financier George Soros, were "preparing" for "tough times." He also warned of food shortages, natural disasters, and E. coli; stoked fears that world leaders would conspire to "make it harder for you to get a gun"; and asked, "Why would you get a gun?" As Beck asked the question and pointed to a monitor, an image appeared showing President Obama and White House advisor Cass Sunstein. "To prepare for tough times," Beck said. "That’s why."
It’s astounding that it needs to be said, but answering the question, "Why would you get a gun?" by pointing to a picture of the president, is unacceptable… [emphasis added]

If the suggestion to get a gun to use against the President of the United States is not sedition, what is? Ailes and Murdoch put the microphone in this monster’s hands. They share his guilt.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
He and his ilk are more of a reason to be armed than any other I can think of. The only difference tween Beck boy and me is I would not hesitate if he came across the fence-line or inside the wire.
He wouldn’t dare. He stirs it up, but hides from it himself.
It is my professional opinion that Beck is in DIRE need of some major psychiatric intervention.
Even the Secret Service had a great Tweet about Faux News:

It is my professional opinion that you’re right.
LMAO!
Ed’s right “to get a gun and the point to a picture of the president is the supreme of idiocy.” Not only that but to put the supposition into the gun nuts heads that it may lead the UN to have a “world wide law on acquiring a gun, making it harder for you to apply for or get a get a gun against your second amendment rights” just plays into the crazy gun nut people as it is. Gun sales went WAY up after Obama became president (and before) even though he never campaigned on restricting gun access nor has he said word one about it since. So gun nuts will now be mortgaging their houses (again if they still have one) to buy even more weapons (which will make Smith and Wesson really happy. I can’t wait until this paranoid, psychotic kook is off the air. but until then, he’ll be raising the stakes on how paranoid and psychotic he can be. How anyone could believe this idiot is beyond me; he gets more radical and psychotic by the day. Thank God most people can’t afford cable to watch this idiot on, but watch them mortgage their homes (again, if they still have one) to get cable so they can continue to watch this psychotic monster and his ridiculous rants. 🙄 😯 😯 😯
On the plus side, maybe they will be included in the next tound of foreclosures.
This is more to be feared than anything– It is exactly the sort of instigation unstable minds need–What he preaches does sound very psychotic–but do not let us delude ourselves ; Beck and his sponsors know exactly what they are doing– Every word is scripted and controlled; EVERY WORD!!
Exactly. I have no doubt whatsoever that Beck’s intent is to incite violent acts to capitalize on the publicity they generate.
Last time I checked only Obama has asserted an extra-legal “right” to ASSASSINATE, even his fellow Americans!
