Satellite radio company SiriusXM has suspended Glenn Beck's syndicated show this week and is "evaluating" the program's place over comments made last week by one of Beck's guests.
Last week, fiction writer Brad Thor appeared on Beck's program and suggested GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump was a danger to America and that citizens would have to take means that may not be legal in order to get Trump out of office. Beck did not immediately admonish or distance himself from the comments, leading to the suspension by SiriusXM.
Look I understand people's very real concerns about Donald Trump, and support numerous methods for stopping him from being elected.
But like pretty much all liberals I draw the line at actual murder.
And clearly Glenn Beck should do the same.
So why don't those assholes on RightWing Radio get the hook when their callers advocate a 2nd Amendment Solution to Pres. Obama????
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing!
DeleteI was also outraged at the same thing. They should all be off the air by now.
DeleteI think we all know the reason for that. President Obama is black and Trump is white.
DeleteAfter yesterday's press conference I do believe that Trump has taken the first big step to kill his own campaign. As he said, he just don't care LOL

Sirius is just trying to shake off the dingleberry because of his ratings.
ReplyDeleteHowever, this is censorship.
Not.
Delete5:40, this is at least not government censorship. It is being done by a privately owned corporation which has a right to determine what can and cannot be said by its employees or contractors using the equipment they own.
DeleteAside from that, I agree with Gryphen that murder is definitely NOT a solution. The ramifications of such a thing would be totally destructive.
Look, this is a loaded topic. The bright side for me is this makes the GOP even more fractured.

I guess FOX news should fire their reporter when Trump responded to his question by saying he would target (kill) the wives and children of terrorists.
ReplyDeleteBrad Thor? King of right wing fiction? You sure about that???
ReplyDeleteCan't believe it. SMH
So THAT'S where Glenn's been hiding, he has the perfect face for radio. I don't believe in second amendment remedies, words (and symbols) have consequences.
ReplyDeleteI think Trump will be meeting his maker sooner than later. It could be from ill health - obesity - heart attack - cannot handle pressure - cancer - etc.
ReplyDeleteNo one will need to worry about killing him - he'll do it to himself. Like suicide when he looses against Hillary Clinton! He will not be able to handle defeat - too much for his ego!
