It's the 'far left's' fault that Glenn Beck's fans are becoming violent and attacking the left
Glenn Beck has been warning his audiences for some time that the country's radical leftists were planning violence as the means to "radically transforming" the country. Just how they were supposed to be doing this, we're not sure, but recently he's been insisting that the left is far more hate-filled and violence-prone than the right.

Well, yesterday he explained it: It's not so much that the "far left" is actually going to commit left-wing terrorism. No. What they're actually plotting is to recreate Oklahoma City by pulling off an act of domestic terrorism and then blaming Glenn Beck and the Tea Partiers for it.

Yep, that's really what he said:

2. Which Really Means That THEY Are Planning Such a Thing
and Beck is laying the groundwork to blame the "far left" (what far left?).

5. Correct. They always blame us for what they are actually guilty of or promoting.

8. Of course if you look at McVeigh you can see he took action after the R's
took over both house's of congress. Waco happened in 1993, McVeigh did his deed on 4/19/95, that always made me wonder why as these wing nuts have a belief that the R's will come to their defense or something, even though R's as well as the Beck types distance themselves from the McVeighs they stir up. I remember how R's spoke up after Waco, blaming Reno and Clinton for what happened, reality is if R's had been in charge during Waco there would have been no stand off, the ATF and FBI would have moved on day one soon after shots were fired from the compound.

Remember how fast the feds moved against the Black Panther compound during Nixons term. For 2 years the right wing ranted about the injustice of Waco and Ruby Ridge, what injustice was never made clear because the people involved had every chance to surrender and get their day in court, instead they decided to shoot their way out at Ruby Ridge, Waco Koresh tried to talk his way out by making all kinds of crazy demands in the hopes that the feds would just go away.

But because of the right wing lies about both Waco and Ruby Ridge, McVeigh, a mentally unstable person, decided that the government was out of control and decided to take matters in his own hands. Wing nuts try to claim that the McVeigh types are comparable to the 1960's left wing Weathermen, but that is a stretch because the actions that drove the Weathermen were actually innocent protesters being gunned down without having arms, Waco and Ruby Ridge were heavily armed were as the Kent State protesters weren't. I'm not making excuses for the weathermen, but to compare them to McVeigh is silly at best.

My point is these wing nuts that cry the left is violent too is stupid beyond belief as they can only show 1 group from 40 years ago to prove their point whereas the right has a very long history going back to the Civil war where the right used violence instead of the courts to get their way. But again their victim hood mentality can't accept that the courts decide against them for the main reason they have no facts to present in a court of law for the courts to decide in their favor. Feelings and emotional out breaks don't work in a court of law when legal facts rule court decisions. Another words they understand they have no case so they box themselves into a 1 action action, like McVeigh did.

6. That's the plot of "his" "novel"
Overton Window, by a ghost writer hired by Glen Beck.
Amazingly enough, the ghost writer had a almost identical novel that he wrote in 2004 about a false flag operation run by Republicans to discredit liberals. He just changed the names and added a 'Mary Sue' for Glen.
See the website "Overton Windex" for a analysis.

9. He has a point
I heard a teabagger seriously stubbed his toe while stomping on a woman's skull.
