"His supporters raised the cash on November the 5th to commemorate Guy Fawkes."

Therefore your complaint is not valid. He never said the campaign ran this.



That's not actually true. Here on these forums people have discussed violent overthrow of the government if Ron Paul's campaign doesn't succeed.

He states at the beginning of his program that we need to be worried about threats that are not only foreign but also domestic. He says almost everything to suggest that people in the campaign are terrorists.

Personally, I think it is worse to make a big deal about it, one should just let it go.

However, to say that this is not a hit piece and a distortion of the facts is just beyond me.

Yes....? He doesn't say that all Ron Paul supporters are that threat.

He says almost everything to suggest that people in the campaign are terrorists.

You mean he says things that don't mean that or add up to that.

However, to say that this is not a hit piece and a distortion of the facts is just beyond me.

Which fact was distorted? He said there are some fringe supporters in Ron Paul's campaign that he is worried could resort to violence. I have the same concern, because they've stated that exact thing to me.

The over-arching theme of the piece, however, was not a hit job on Paul and his supporters, but rather his opinion that the government is screwing up so much that its agitating people to get like this, but that we need to remain vigilant against domestic threats that might harm us.

No facts were distorted by Glenn, IMHO.

 

[Goldwater Conservative]

I agree, I have met some fringe supporters who advocate the violent overthrow of government if Ron Paul's campaign does not succeed. Please note, they are FRINGE and Glenn Beck called them so.

And I'm sure we've all seen supporters of one of the neo-con candidates advocating abolishing privacy rights, eliminating due process of law, and bombing all countries that oppose our foreign policy. Everyone has their loons... and in the case of Rudy and Hillary, some loons are even running.

When Glenn Beck first got his show on CNN headline news, I thought he seemed like a pretty reasonable guy. Then I saw this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3QaVGEo2BM

I lost all respect for him for having that sleaze ball on and talk to him as if he had real abilities and wasn't a con artist. People like that need to be exposed, not promoted.

HE JUST LOST ALOT OF BOOK SALES. I THINK HE SHOULD BE REMINDED ABOUT THAT. MAKE A THREAD ABOUT EACH ANCHOR. I AM SURE THEY DO VISIT THIS FORUM. LET HIM SEE HE HURT HIS BOOK SALES. THAT SHOULD MAKE HIM WHINE A BIT MORE ABOUT RON PAUL SUPPORTERS. JUST THINK,HE COULD OF MADE $$$$ FROM THE RON PAUL FAN CLUB. TO BAD BECK,YOUR LOSS YOU PUTZ. MAYBE PUT, DO NOT BUY BECKS BOOK AS A SIG ON OUR NAMES.

I will not participate in some boycott for that "smear"


The only real true smear was by David Horowitz against Lew Rockwell.

Ok as far as the violence thing, it's pretty normal that people spout garbage on the internet. 99% of the time it amounts to nothing, but it's true you can never tell for sure.

He starts out with this emotional plea, "Soldiers are sworn to defend the country against threats foreign and domestic." And now we have to worry about these domestic threats according to Beck. And then he talks about RP supporters and terrorists at the same time. Does he say anything directly? No, but it's very suggestive and as far as propaganda goes that can be more effective then explicitly stating it.

If you cannot see that for what it is, I just don't know what to tell you.

 

[LFOD]

The entire thrust of his segment was to "worry" about whether there is a potential domestic terror threat, and Ron Paul's supporters choosing Nov. 5 is something which suggests the potential for violence.

"I fear some of his fringe supporters are taking the word 'revolution' too literally"

And he "fears" this because.... why? Because of a fundraiser date.

Precisely, the real threat that the supporters of Ron Paul pose is not to the physical well-being to any innocent person in this country or even to some of the sleaze in Washington, but to the vitality of the neo-con establishment. People are starting to get politically conscious that the neo-cons aren't actually conservative at all. This is starting to freak them out, instead of outright fighting us he subversively marginalizes us by insinuating we're terrorists. This is nothing but a tactical maneuver on his part, and if I was in his exact same mindset (if I was a neo-con that is) I would do the exact same thing. An outright decry of Ron Paul would have blowback as he's never experienced before, but this... this could work in his favor. Unless we call this out like the underhanded maneuver it really is.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. - Mahatma Gandhi

They're no longer laughing anymore. They had their fill of that... now it's time for the fight. Brace yourselves like men (or if you're a woman like a woman) it's about to get really real. We've gotta be vigilant and not back down a single iota. Ron Paul can win this fight, we've just gotta bear the media onslaught with pride and knowledge that we're actually posing a threat to the establishment. We can win this, and they know it and they're afraid.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Horowitz is a PoS neo-con who used his legal skills to defend Black Panthers during the 60s uprisings.

Who's the "terrorist" you jerk?

Fuck 'em, all of 'em, Sean Insanity, Horribilowitz, Luntz, every last one of 'em.

 

[xcalybur]

I will say that if you want to hurt Glenn Beck where it really counts, go to HERE and show his advertisers that we will not support a company that supporters someone calling us Terrorists.

The website above makes it really easy to just click a link and send a note to the companies.

 

[jim70769]

Called AARP,told them I have recieved the paperwork to join and will not do as long as they sponsor Glenn Beck. Also told them I would tell as many people as possible.Took about three minutes.

 

[werdd]

in the process im mailing all of his sponsors


I am boycotting Glenn Beck for his slander against Ron Paul likening his supporters to terrorist's. You should be ashamed that you are sponsoring him. I am boycotting all of his sponsors as a result of this, and this includes you.

He said some of Ron Paul's fringe supporters advocate violence. And they do.

 

[fiddler1]

Meh, Nothing to see here. Please move along.
Just wait. This is nothing.. They arent in full attack mode yet.. This is not a battle worth fighting at this point IMHO.. Ignore ignore..

 

[LFOD]

Yeah he was just doing "fair and balanced" reporting. He wasn't engaging in fear-mongering propaganda for ratings, or anything. He just wanted to point out that maybe Americans should start worrying about whether Ron Paul followers might be domestic terrorists, that's all.

 

[Snowfire]

Am listening to the GB show on the radio -- and he just retracted his statement that Ron Paul was behind the Nov. 5th date.

Interesting.....

 

[Midnight77]

Glenn has another Poll up and of course Ron Paul's name isn't on it. If you have a second, go there and vote for Tom Tancredo, like last time, as a protest.

Thus far, Mitt Romney is winning by a small margin.

voted tancredo

 

[LockNLoadRonPaul2008]

Beck is a Neo-Con whack job.

However, we must not let this discourage us. As RP gains more support and popularity there's going to be more friction and attacks.

We need thick skin.


What I suggest is this, since I am not very web savy with designing web pages, someone should establish www.BoycottGlennBeck.com

We should get as many people as we can to sign it and then send it to all of GB sponsors.

Let them know that we mean business and that the people will not stand for such irresponsible media reporting.
