Repeated Branding of 78-Year-Old Professor Frances Fox Piven as “Enemy of the Constitution” Incites Death Threats

January 20, 2011, New York – Today, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) issued a written appeal to Fox News president Roger Ailes to help put a stop to the increasing threats against progressive Professor Frances Fox Piven, largely incited by Fox News host Glenn Beck. In the letter, co-written by Legal Director Bill Quigley and Executive Director Vince Warren the CCR asks that Ailes distinguish between First Amendment rights, of which they are “vigorous defenders” and an “intentional repetition of provocative, incendiary, emotional misinformation and falsehoods in actual physical danger of a violent response.”

1. Tormenting and terrorizing a 78 year old lady

Rupert Murdoch and his boy Ailes must be so proud of themselves.

2. If there's a cage match, put me down for $10 on Piven

Beck would run so fast, your eyeballs would smoke just watching him go.

4. LOL. Yup. Even at 78, Piven is no shrinking violet.

The demonizing, by the way, is utterly predictable.
Look at what they did to ACORN. It's clear that any person or organization who helps poor people is an enemy of Fox News.

3. Why won't Ailes get the message about Beck? His sponsors drop him,

several groups are asking for Beck to stop the hate, but yet Beck continues with the lies.
