Beck: People ‘Pushed To The Wall’ By ‘Political Correctness’ Launch Spree Killings
There was a remarkable segment on Glen Beck’s show yesterday, thankfully captured by Matt Corley in which Beck was basically outlining his view that the reason you see spree killings like the one in Alabama is that conservatives are so deranged, and so racist, that when people point out that they’re being racist they can’t help but fly into a psychotic rage and commit multiple murders. Really:
BECK: But as I’m listening to him. I’m thinking about the American people that feel disenfranchised right now. That feel like nobody’s hearing their voice. The government isn’t hearing their voice. Even if you call, they don’t listen to you on both sides. If you’re a conservative, you’re called a racist. You want to starve children.
O’REILLY: Sure.
BECK: Yada yada yada. And every time they do speak out, they’re shut down by political correctness. How do you not have those people turn into that guy?
O’REILLY: Well, look, nobody, even if they’re frustrated, is going to hurt another human being unless they’re mentally ill. I think.
BECK: I think pushed to the wall, you don’t think people get pushed to the wall?
Thankfully Bill O’Reilly (!) was around to act as the voice of reason (!) and observe that spree killing seem more related to mental illness than to political disagreement.
One also wonders how stifled conservative voices really are in a world where I watched Bill O’Reilly and Glen Beck discuss this on Beck’s show on Fox News. It seems as if there’s an entire TV network—fairly successful and high rated—to catered to conservative views, along with numerous radio shows, tons of guest spots on CNN, Morning Joe on MSNBC, etc. There are magazines, newspaper columnists, blogs. Lots of stuff. I dunno.

Interesting Matt… so being called a racist is proof you are one? Which Hahhhvahhd philosophy class taught you that?
And to what else does this rule apply?
You being called an asshole douche?

I don’t know. Shooting Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck seems perfectly sane to me.
March 13th, 2009 at 9:51 am
I don’t follow any of the right wing very much so I guess I’m guilty of talking out my ass here, but Glenn Beck does seem like he’s genuinely and sincerely a nutcase, rather than a basically sane megalomaniac who got rich by pandering to know-nothings. Colbert has had a segment or two recently mocking Beck’s preparation for economic apocalypse.
March 13th, 2009 at 9:51 am
I think the mental illness part lies in spree killers shooting the wrong people.
March 13th, 2009 at 9:51 am
This is what it’s come to. Public discourse has reached the point where we have to depend on and be thankful for Bill O’Reilly not being as batshit crazy insane as Glenn Beck.
March 13th, 2009 at 9:54 am
Consider Bernie Madoff walking around — although he’s seems to have now checked into taxpayer-provided protective custody.
An economic paper talks about how our financial crises have really be a form of insider looting : see

There is something wrong with Glenn Beck. The man is consumed with irrational fear and anger. When I watch his show, I can’t even follow who he is directing his anger at, besides the “government”.
He always references these fictional villians with fictional and outraged victims, who are just like him and his viewers and who aren’t going to take it anymore.
March 13th, 2009 at 9:57 am
Throw this guy off the air.
March 13th, 2009 at 10:01 am
Unlike, say Ann Coulter, who probably only believes a relatively small fraction of the crap that comes out of her (his) mouth, I think that Glenn Beck is a true believer who doesn’t even realize that he is a whackjob of monumental proportions. Let’s recall that Mr. Beck is a “reformed” alcoholic; who knows how much of his brain was pickled in booze before he went on the wagon.
March 13th, 2009 at 10:03 am
Conservatives are so oppressed, it’s really frightening. I mean, just a couple years ago they had control of every single branch of the federal government. And now they don’t. It’s a complete tragedy.
March 13th, 2009 at 10:06 am
Sadly, folks like Glenn Beck and O’Reilly feed these folks irrational and mentally unbalanced views.
March 13th, 2009 at 10:17 am
I’m always struck by how large a bogeyman “political correctness” is for so many on the right. People are always saying things like “you just can’t say X,” without specifying exactly what horrible fate awaits the bold conservative who dares to say X. But it’s very useful as an excuse for making very vague claims that could never be supported by specifics.
March 13th, 2009 at 10:21 am
I just want to know why in the world Glenn Beck thinks it’s good for conservatives to have mass murders associated with right-wing politics.
March 13th, 2009 at 10:23 am
Glenn Beck is calling out for help… in conducting violent revolt.
At what point does it become incitement?
March 13th, 2009 at 10:29 am
Limbaugh and O’Reilly are not stupid. They make a lot of money pandering to right wing people of low intelligence. Beck is part of their target audience. He is not mentally capable of following an argument beyond how it makes him feel initially. This, combined with his emotional instability is an odd combination for a TV show host.
He seems like a very unhappy man. I think he probably worries about all these things he rants about, unlike Limbaugh and O’Reilly, who think of everyone as a bunch of suckers. I think he’ll probably kill himself when his career ends. It would be a shame, because he isn’t really that harmful. He has no influence and almost no audience.
I think FOX puts him on as a display of their power. “See what we can do to people!”, they say, and show us Glenn Beck. He is broadcast, living proof that right-wing noise can turn people of below average intelligence into paranoid, raving idiots.
March 13th, 2009 at 10:34 am
When you have 2 people in a room, having a conversation, and one of them is Bill O’Reilly…AND BILL O’FUCKING REILLY IS THE VOICE OF SANITY (ahem…sorry)…the other person is truly a deranged lunatic.
Bill O’Reilly!!!
The sane one!!!
Jesus F’ing Christ. Glen Beck shouldn’t be on the teevee. Or the radio. He should be in a straight jacket.
March 13th, 2009 at 10:43 am
Ditto. He’s always struck me as a genuine, dyed-in-the-wool paranoid, delusional loser with no real self worth or intelligence. He is indeed the kind of guy (isn’t he a HS dropout?) who would gravitate toward Rush and eventually try to impersonate him. He’s deeply uncomfortable with himself and sees no place for people like him in the world, so he thinks the PC, liberal, secular world is out to crush him rather than ignore him. The first time I saw him on CNN I thought I was watching an in-the-flash representation of some Orwellian nightmare about the future of information and journalism. I emailed CNN and told them (for whatever that’s worth) that I wouldn’t watch their network again as long as that flaccid turd was on the air.
March 13th, 2009 at 10:43 am
Don’t push Glen Beck, cuz he’s close to the edge,
he’s trying not to lose his head.
His world is like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how he keeps from going under.
March 13th, 2009 at 11:01 am
Glenn Beck is calling out for help… in conducting violent revolt.
Welcome to the Republican-dominated South, kids.
At what point does it become incitement?
It’s not incitement. It’s “heritage.”
March 13th, 2009 at 11:08 am
I don’t think O’Reilly would have much difficulty defending mass murder if it advanced his personal interests, but in this case he is smart enough to know that if people start viewing spree killings as the inevitable response of conservatives pushed to the extreme, they aren’t going to blame “political correctness.” They are going to look at people like Beck and O’Reilly and Hannity and Limbaugh who have been telling their viewers/listeners that the country is being taken over by foreign-born socialist baby killers who want to ban Christmas. Beck, on the other hand, lives in his own wingnut world where everyone agrees that there is no such thing as an irrational reaction when it comes to disagreements with liberals, including going out and shooting people who may or may not be liberals.
March 13th, 2009 at 11:17 am
RE the cognitive dissonance aspect I’d guess the complaints are presented as “not being listened to”, “being disenfranchised” etc but this is only because they can’t distinguish “not getting their way” from “not being listened to”.
March 13th, 2009 at 11:20 am
The tell is really that he has a dominant political voice–anybody with a national show can communicate to a great many people.
And he’s saying “shooting sprees are a perfectly normal way to react to the world”.
I think the problem is that you can try to rationalize the shooter when you’re in the wingnutosphere. When you’re on a major news show, though, what you’re doing is ENCOURAGING the behavior.
“I’m not saying that I’M going to go on a killing rampage, because I HAVE a job. I’m just saying that I understand where YOU’RE coming from, viewers, if you DON’T have a job.”

Despite their blustering, it seems that some far righties really feel more comfortable as victims. On a road trip yesterday I heard a Marketplace segment about how gun sales are through the roof in Florida. The gun shop owner was quoted as saying the old tired line, “People love their country but fear their government.” I’m sure these were the same guys demanding that Obama wear his flag pin. Now they “fear” their government. Then while scanning the radio, I heard some “Christian” talk-radio guy moaning how oppressed Christians were in the USA and how it is just going to get worse.
Like El Cid said @11, it’s a tragedy. In a few weeks, it will be a full-blown rapture time for some.
March 13th, 2009 at 11:45 am
Put “killing liberals” in a search engine. Most of the hits are “Is killing liberals a hate crime?”
Duh.
March 13th, 2009 at 11:55 am
Yes, the Christians are so oppressed.
They have churches with membership in the 1000s.
They have representatives in Congress and on the Supreme Court. They used to have the White House but they fucked that up.
Just because other people don’t want your beliefs to dictate how they live, doesn’t mean you are oppressed. It’s when you dictate how others live without regard to their beliefs is when you’re oppressed. Ask gay people.

THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!!
Or something.
March 13th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
This is not the first time O’Reilly has played this role to Beck. O’Reilly, like Limbaugh, cares about having a career. Beck doesn’t.
March 13th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Hey Glen, project much?
So at this point I suppose there’s no doubt how Mr. Beck will respond when pushed against some wall by…the person-to-wall pushers. Does anybody know where his armory is, and can they please change the combination? Stat.
What a tiny, tiny man.
March 13th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
The cult of right-wing victimhood has devolved to such a point that it can be used to justify mass murder.
Awesome.
March 13th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
Beck IS a delusional moron, but I’ve been saying for months that we’d see a big spike in violence from Krazy Konservative Killers in the Obama era, just as we saw one when Clinton was president. These Rush-led lemmings are heavily armed and stupid and resorting to violence comes naturally to them. The next Timothy McVeigh is sitting in his trailer right now getting stoked by Rush and Michael Savage and Hannity. So is the next Eric Rudolph.
March 13th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
“Glenn Beck considers himself a “self-educated” man, and he did not graduate from college. He claims that he “spent more time in the parking lot than in class.” As he began to recover from alcoholism, he decided he would throw everything he knew out and start from scratch. He began reading by having a book in every room.”
Amazing.
March 13th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Yeah—murdering five members of your family, an unrelated 18 month old child and her mother, and four others. Somehow, Beck has eclipsed this mass murder with a charge of “political correctness” “pushing people to the wall”.
Bonkers, and incendiary. I just hope it turned off more people than it titillated.
March 13th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Oh, yippie! My favorite wingnut reply!
Lame, non-sequitur, ad hominim attacks laced with hypocrisy that reinforces Matt’s original point.
More please!

Re Paladin
Shhoting Don Williams seems sane to me!
On come on, psychopaths like Richard Steven Hack and paranoid Bolsheviks like Don Williams make this blog interesting. The blog would be a much duller place without them.

“RE the cognitive dissonance aspect I’d guess the complaints are presented as ‘not being listened to’, ‘being disenfranchised’ etc but this is only because they can’t distinguish ‘not getting their way’ from ‘not being listened to’.”
Andrew, I think you’re on to something here. Whenever I hear these right-wing talk show hosts go on and on about how their voice is being stifled, I have to chuckle. Their problem isn’t that people aren’t listening to them, its that people are listening to them, and rejecting their arguments by a healthy margin.
If the Republican Party wants any chance of governing again on a national level, and reversing the trend towards regional irrelevancy, they should start by distancing themselves as far as possible from these so-called “conservative” commentators. The Republicans need to begin adjusting to the changing demographics in the U.S. and building the broad coalitions necessary to govern, and people like Mr. Beck aren’t doing them any favors.
March 13th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
So for Beck, if the shooter was conservative, it would prove that liberalism is evil and drove him to it. But if the shooter was liberal, it would prove that… liberalism is evil and drove him to it?
March 13th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
It’s been illuminating to see, post-election, how many righties have been willing to give up even pretending to be reasonable (see the “going Galt” discussions for less frightening examples of this). Makes all those people who talked about moving to Canada after Bush was elected seem pretty damn good in comparison. The more that voices like Beck’s come to define the Republican party, the more I imagine that a third party (American Tories? Now’s your moment, Andrew Sullivan!) come to fill the gap between conservatives and off-the-reservation nutjobs.
Far-lefties have been guilty of saying some stupid stuff (I’m looking at you, Cynthia “Don’t you know who I am?!” McKinney), but none of them had the same platform as someone like Beck. Imagine some 9/11-truther hosting a show on CNN, and you have something sort of equivalent.
I apologize in advance if I have incited truther trolls. I mean no harm, Matt!
March 13th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
It’s rather worse than you think: Beck believes he can be the center of a full blown revolt against “the way the country is being taken”: it will be televised and begin today, with “We Surround You” parties, where his followers will be shown the truth about the March To Socialism..
You owe it to yourselves to check out the paranoid and silly stuff that is being thrown.
I’m sure there is an audience for this stuff, but this seems to be a call to treason. I’m sure it will play well with certain folks down here in rural Georgia.

March 13th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
C’mon, people, Beck’s point is perfectly clear. Was it Hitler’s fault that a World Jewish Conspiracy sold out his beloved German fatherland and turned him a bit irritable? I don’t think so. Sometimes it’s just hard for a supporter of all things bright and beautiful to cope with evil, you know?
March 13th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
STFU Glenn Beck. Listening to idiots like you would make me want to, I don’t know, join a support group or something. Something I ordnarily would be very unlikely to do, but when pushed to the wall, who knows?
March 13th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
People who yammer about “political correctness” are just looking for social sanction to let their racism, sexism, and homophobia shine.
March 13th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Of course, just a few years ago, when conservatives ran everything, they were very receptive to liberal views. They really listened and gave progressives a seat at the table. When you called your government, they really cared about your opinions. And, of course, in the wake of 9/11, as liberals watched GWB lie us into an unnecessary war, there was no backlash if you spoke against Bush. No “politically correct police” called you a traitor for disagreeing with Bush. No no.
March 13th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Everyone should read Alternet website, they have the story on the Alabama shootings, also why the reason for them is being hushed up, it is not a pretty story, please read it. This is why we should all support the EFCA. Read it people!
March 13th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
If Beck’s “pushed to the wall” theory were true, I would have gone on several rampages during the 80’s, 90’s, and 2000’s.
The difference between liberals and conservatives:
Liberals write songs like “If I Had A Rocket Launcher” and get stoned and listen to them.
Republicans form militia groups, make bombs out of fertilizer, and blow up hundreds of people in a federal building.
March 13th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Interesting Matt… so being called a racist is proof you are one? Which Hahhhvahhd philosophy class taught you that?
And to what else does this rule apply?
You being called an asshole douche?
How ’bout you being called a fuckin’ idiot for this dumb post?
March 13th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
The assumed intelligence of “Liberals” is immediately destroied by the use of “curse” words. If you’re bread of a higher education why revert to the most basic use of insulting? In retrospect, why “Conservatives” do you then tend to demonize and shun the accepted views of the “other side”? Political forces, Republicans and Democrats, ALWAYS use the powers of division to win an arguement instead of first compromising and second using factual evidence to ammend policies and ideas implemented! Now a moment of barbarism….. Fuck both of you, fight with each other not against! We are Fucking Americans first! Not Republicans and Democrats!!!
March 13th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
It’s funny that someone who goes by the moniker ‘nomoreleft’ would complain about how people demonize the views of the other side, then complain about how people use curse words and ad hominem attacks only to finish off by cussing and using ad hominem attacks. And then he wonders why we can’t have a reasonable discussion? Mote, meet beam.
March 13th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Simply stated nomoreleft = nothing remaining. I’m not complaining, personally complaining wastes time and energy and in the end your still faced with whatever the problem is that needs addressing. The cussing is an example of ignorance, the lack of knowledge. You provide an example of whats wrong by assuming you know my thoughts and intentions. All need to remember when you make an assumption you make an ass out of you and me. Thank you for your time reading my post and have a great day.
March 13th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
This IS just a forum, is it not? Can any of you not see the humor in all of this anger?

It doesn’t feel like spin. It’s a grueling three-dimensional portrait. I can see why some people would go to ridiculous lengths to make anyone but the shooter and his situation the subject of these shooting.

March 13th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
*
You don’t understand that it isn’t against “them”. It is about us v us. Inside each of us is the best of humanity and the worse of humanity. That is why everyone looking for the enemy Beck is fighting seems puzzled. They don’t understand that it isn’t about fighting other Americans. It is about internal growth. That could change, but I doubt it. We shall both stay tuned.
If he goes nutty and wants to rise up against America, I will join you in opposing him. Until then, let him be. He has amazing ratings. They are up ten fold over his last network. He has only one showing and beats most of the prime time shows even entertainment shows. He is speaking to what a lot of other people feel. Considering he has been saying this since at least 2006. It is obvious this is from his heart.
That is why it is resonating. Whether you think the man is a prophet or a nut, he is real.
Glenn Beck is a stand up guy who is trying to help us see the good in America. The loony left must have him confused with someone else. I don’t get to listen to or watch all of Mr. Beck’s programs’ because of work, but I get about 5 hours a week or more. I have never heard him say anything in the last 5 years which is anti-American or violent. It is almost Orwellian to read what the left wing sites say about him. They obviously read summaries from media matters and daily kos.
It should be clear that we reject extremist responses to the crisis or our government. From what I can see, so does Glenn Beck. He wants us to get back to the basic values and principles which made America great. Delaware Liberal did an analysis of the 9 principles and basically agreed with them but found fault because that ex-drunken remarried DJ Beck espoused them. The fact he hit bottom and fought back to become a success (which they wouldn’t know if he didn’t freely admit his past) validates his message. The principles work.
The over the top hate operations are on MsNBC not FoxNews.
March 13th, 2009 at 11:37 pm
Bill O’Reilly says ‘You fight for your country, you fight for your family, you fight for your dignity. And that’s it. And you don’t hurt other people in the process.’
Interesting idea, Bill. Tell me again about this new type of ‘fighting’ where nobody gets hurt.

Kudos to those of you who actually submit useful, intelligent comments.
I am a political conservative. I see government as a necessary evil that must be kept in check. Nearly all people who seek power over others (as politicians do) don’t know when to stop. Power becomes the end in itself and public service becomes a distant second. An aristocracy has developed in America. They are trying to destroy the middle class because the middle class is typically their competition.
One doesn’t have to look far to find ridiculous hypocrisy and criminal transgressions of the people’s trust and authority on BOTH sides of the political aisle. It is getting worse. All governments, all nations that I know of eventually ended in revolution. Few of them lasted more than a couple hundred years.
With the angst and disunion the citizens of America are showing today, it is not a stretch to think that there could be a violent revolution in our country within our lifetimes. I think that the only way to avoid this is to reestablish civil discourse. The posts on this site demonstrate how isolated, polarized and uncivil people have become. They just reinforce the negative opinion their opponents have of them.
Unless we can come to some agreement on exactly what this country stands for, and who we are as a people, this country may not exist soon.
Everyone makes stupid statements frequently. Watch any politician speak. With careful thought and preparation, Glenn Beck has proposed a set of common principles and values for Americans to unite on. He has even allowed for the possibility that you may not agree with all of them, but you can still be included. I think that shows more of his character than an offhand comment about an event which boggles the mind of any sane person.
Note that I have used my real name in this post. It is time for earnest citizens, who may disagree, but who believe in America, to stand up and be counted.
March 14th, 2009 at 4:31 am
Beck has redefined “disenfranchised.”
That used to mean being deprived of your vote.
Now, per Beck, it means when the other side wins because they got more votes.
It’s not fair!
March 14th, 2009 at 11:38 am
The whole of government has lost it’s way. It makes no difference if they are Dem. or Rep. there is NO Sense to anything they are doing at this point and until “WE THE PEOPLE” show them we mean business they will continue to ignore what’s happening out here on the highways and byways of AMERICA. What we need are a few “STATESMAN” to step forward and grab the bull by the horns and get our heads out of our ASSES and use some common sense again.
March 14th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
You liberals think Beck in a nut and Ayers is not. All Beck is doing is trying to get back to basic’s of what made this country, not the social engineering you guys advocate. If you think this country should be socialist i suggest you move to a country that is. I hope none of you are business owners lol
March 14th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
What’s on the 24 hour Ayer’s channel today?
March 15th, 2009 at 12:28 am
You liberal Beck haters are clowns, at best. O’Reilly and Beck are just sayin it like it is, and you are so busy slobbering all over yourselves about paranoia and such, you are not capable of listening through that dope haze around your noggins.
Do a little thinking here, and maybe you all won’t come off so dumb sounding.
March 15th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Well, I’m glad to see that my anguished plea for unity and cooperation was successful in elevating the dialog on this site. LOL
March 15th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
in most of these responses i can see the ugly nasty face of bill maher. you can’t have a normal conversation with the likes of these,because the sheer hatred they possess is hard not to notice, even if you’ve never seen them before.i think glenn beck and bill o’reilly want to get back to the basics that this country was founded on. personal responsibility, decency,honor,when a handshake meant something other than showing off your political correctness.the next time you see maher or carville on the news, watch their eyes, the hatred that comes from them is overwhelming and hard to hide,and it has NOTHING to do with politics.if some people want to sit on their asses and complain about what everybody else should be doing FOR THEM, they don’t deserve to have anything but themselves. i don’t want a government or union or congress telling me want i can or can NOT do, just because some lazy ass won’t get off of theirs. but i also understand that sometimes bad things happen to good people, and i help out, not because someone political moron tells me i have to, i do it because i WANT to, and nowdays there seems to be a LOT of people who would rather take advantage of the good hearted, than do good. to all of those nasty sob’s, in the last year how much did you give in money and personal time to help someone else in need? the two top men, president and vp gave hardly NOTHING, along with members of this administration and congress who don’t even pay their taxes. this is not jealosy for losing an election, and if that is all you get out of beck and oreilly, SHAME ON YOU!!
March 16th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Glenn Beck is a man who knows what he believes and acts accordingly. He says what he means and he means what he says. It’s a sad indication of what our country has come to when doing so is equated with being crazy.
Those of you who are so quick to call him a nut-job should really take a look in the mirror.
Do you know what you stand for and do your actions represent your personal principles?
Do you have principles and values that you can outline and explain succinctly? Glenn Beck does…and because he does you call him crazy???
Take a good long look in that mirror….if you’re truly honest with yourself, you’ll probably find that you have little idea who you really are and what you would stand for if push came to shove.
Do us all a favor and figure that out before you berate a man who actually does know who he is. The world could use a little more credibility and you might earn some if you can do more than just hate people whose opinions differ from what you think you believe.

I think that Glenn is simply expressing what I feel everyday. I am not going on a killing spree but certainly know the frustration that the man felt.I call my politicians on a weekly basis and have to explain to their staffers what has happened in the past week. My president has jumped the idealogical fence.Not only have we elected our first black president, but our first Marxist. Allan Keys certainly got this one right. The American people have just about had enough of this man in the first hundred days.I do not have a police record but i certainly can see myself being arrested for civil disobedience in the near future. The police have re opened the case against Bill Ayers,Tony Rezko is in prison, our tresuaty secretary is an admitted tax cheat,Bill Richardson is under investigation,our secretary of state has pledged 1 billion to Hamas, and the beat goes on. Frustration Hell that is the under statement of the year. I have some vacation time and know the way to D.C. I am almost ready to take this show on the road.
