For once can you just discuss what's relevant to the topic?
Why can't you just say "Beck was wrong for what he did..." and just leave it at that? Why bring up other irrelevance shit about left wing liberals?

Because its really the liberals fault, all of it! everything!

more open minded liberal trolls. Think like they do, or you will be tarred and feathered.

How you got to this ^ from the story indicates you A) didn't read the article, B) can't read, or C) are just plain stupid

I'd love to be on that jury. The punitive damages would hit the pocketbook (as they should, and is the purpose of punitive damages.)

Do you really trust the FBI? When they say they cleared someone of wrongdoing, that just means there is not enough evidence to make a charge stick. I see nothing wrong with discussing and issue in the news. Look at how many people said "the juice" is guilty of killing his wife? He was cleared in court. If it is a person in the news you can discuss it.

I'm surprised there's any partisan defense of Beck. Both because this was an extremely terrible thing to do and because he seems more like a conspiracy nut to me than a right wing commentator.

Finding a lawyer and building a case takes time. Given the fact that the event file data is incorrect and that he lied about what an SAO was, I'd say that Beck won't emerge from this ordeal unscathed.


Its not about tolerance. It's about the dangers that these propagandists represent. Suppose someone would have killed this kid because Glenn Beck told people that he was a terrorist. How would you feel of you were made a target and starting getting harassed by right wing loonies?

Glenn Beck lied his ass off to make a dime at this kids expense, and this is one thing that goes to show you the true nature of these "moral crusaders".

Fair enough. Glenn Beck should be sued for what he did, I said that in my earlier post. He falsely accused this guy even when he was told he was wrong.

No, if Rachel Maddow had said it, I'd be all in favor of suing her as well. No matter who says it, you don't falsely identify some random person as a potential terrorist absent evidence; that's just a horrible thing to do. But I am glad it's Beck, as he's consistently been a terrible human being for the last 30 years.

You would be in favor but many of the leftists would be silent. Leftist morons are happy about this but won't say anything if a leftist does it. I don't like the hypocrisy. Spike Lee gave out the wrong address shortly after Trayvon Martin was killed, How many leftists went after him?

Which political ideologies are associated with being a conspiracy theorist besides Libertarian?
