Moore" Uses part of Ron Paul interview
to suggest his supporters are dangerous

Ron Paul appeared on Glenn Beck's CNN show last night for a full
hour in what was, it has to be said, a fair
interview, rare as that concept has been in the past
where Beck is concerned. However, Beck couldn't resist straying
away from Ron Paul's campaign issues towards the end of the interview
in order to complain that he has received several death threats
from people who claim to support Paul.
The thinly veiled attack was clearly designed to
suggest that Ron Paul's supporters are dangerous and that this
reflects on his policies, a smear tactic Beck has
previously used, and one that most likely landed
him with said threats in the first instance.
A bemused Ron Paul was of course cornered into condemning
any threat of violence, despite not having any knowledge of what
Beck was referring to. However it is quite impossible to have
any sympathy for Beck given the fact that not only does he regularly
regurgitate the "kill those darn Islamists before
they kill us" mantra, but has also personally threatened
to kill people whose views he condemns, namely those of film maker
Michael Moore.
Credit goes to blogspot Real
Truth Online for pointing out that on May 17, 2005,
Glenn Beck, on his radio show, said the following:
“Hang on, let me just tell you what I'm
thinking. I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm
wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to
hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could. I think he could
be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking
the life out -- is this wrong? I stopped wearing my What Would
Jesus -- band -- Do, and I've lost all sense of right and wrong
now. I used to be able to say, "Yeah, I'd kill Michael
Moore," and then I'd see the little band: What Would Jesus
Do? And then I'd realize, "Oh, you wouldn't kill Michael
Moore. Or at least you wouldn't choke him to death." And
you know, well, I'm not sure”.

No explanation of Beck's incredible hypocrisy is
required, instead here is Ron Paul's elegant response which Beck
should maybe take more careful consideration of in the future:
"All I can do is address the subject of violence,
I am committed to non violence, no initiation of aggression,
these are my political viewpoints, I believe in political change
coming about through the mode of Gandhi and Martin Luther King,
through non-violence. I happen to believe that we should practice
these principles both domestically against individuals as well
as other countries, this is the reason I don't want to use aggression
against other countries to bring about change. I don't ever
want to initiate aggression, this is what is in our constitution
and so I reject anybody who would use violence."
We support this view 100% and have always urged
a commitment to non violence and peaceful political activism,
sadly Mr Beck, you cannot say the same.
