With Roger Ailes at Fox News telling his gang of angry hate mongers to cool it or else. It now seems possible that Glenn Beck, after having lost more than 100 advertisers, could receive that "or else." And more importantly, after you are fired from FOX for being too much of a Right-wing nutcake, where do you go? He is already losing radio syndication in major markets. And boy is the mainstream media staying away from this one! Wooooooo E
Being far more fair and balanced than Fox News let me do a little preliminary research on this for yall.
1. Gregory Lee Giusti threatened to firebomb Nancy Pelosi’s house after passage of health care reform. A few weeks before Glenn Beck had played to burn Pelosi’s in effigy.
"Greg has — frequently gets in with a group of people that have really radical ideas and that are not consistent with myself or the rest of the family and — which gets him into problems," said Eleanor Giusti, 83, in an interview with ABC 7. "And apparently I would say this must be another one that somehow he’s gotten onto either by — I’d say Fox News or all of those that are really radical, and he — that’s where he comes from."

2. Charles Wilson threatened to kill Senator Patty Murray after voting for health care reform.
During the sentencing phase of the trial, Wilson’s cousin submitted a letter to the court arguing for leniency. The cousin wrote, "What happened later with Charlie is something I think I can understand. He became basically house-bound due to his illness and his small world got even smaller. His brother got him a computer and he was able to stay connected with family, and he watched television and found Glenn Beck. I found Glenn Beck about the same time that Charlie did, and I understand how his fears were grown and fostered by Mr. Beck’s persuasive personality. While his actions were undeniably wrong and his choices terrible, in part they were the actions of others played out against a very gullible Charlie. He was under the spell that Glenn Beck cast, aided by the turbulent times in our economy." Seattle Weekly Report
3. Byron Williams tried to assassinate the staff of a liberal philanthropic foundation in San Francisco.
"I would have never started watching Fox News if it wasn’t for the fact that Beck was on there. And it was the things that he did, it was the things he exposed that blew my mind" Mr. Williams said from his jail cell. New York Daily News Report
The bottom line here is that all these examples are far more credible than anything Glenn Beck has ever said about anyone at all.
