On paper, taxes may seem low, but there is a hidden tax that some people call the inflation tax. http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2006/tst071706.htm
Also, how does forcing everybody to pay for health insurance make healthcare better? It's pure arrogance for the federal government to tell me I need to spend my money on something. Will congress be required to spend their money on health insurance? They probably won't. They probably will keep spending tax payer money for their health care.

Michael Moore has a movie coming out that's supposed to be about problems with capitalism. Let's say that some crazy person watches the movie then tries to murder some rich person. Would Michael Moore be responsible for the murder or attempted murder?

Yeah as people have pretty much deducted... Beck had nothing to do with this. Just like the frog was fake. No story, keep walking...

fireitup

Why don't we spend time more paying attention to what this administration is actually doing then trying to connect some dubious, completely remote event to one of the few who are daring to question it??

Are you sooo caught up in hatred of the "right-wingers" that you suspend ALL judgement of the mess currently being created by "your" team?

Bush disgusted me. 100%. But holy-cr*p the insanity that is now going on is beyond belief, particularly with our national debt. DARE TO FACE IT because there are other alternatives to the Republicans for crissakes!!

@ocanada:

You're absolutely right in your assessment of the area and what goes on there. The KY. newspapers today are saying it hasn't been determined whether it was a murder or a suicide. He did have a rope around his neck and was tied to a tree, but his feet were touching the ground. He was found in Daniel Boone Natnl Forest, parts of which are totally isolated and thick with marijuana groves. His truck, with laptop and gear still in it was found in a neighboring town. What happened hasn't been determined yet, but I seriously doubt that Glenn Beck had a darn thing to do with it.

I truly hope not, however we have not had all the facts in yet, let alone any idea of who is actualy responsible. This region in Kentucky is famous for its marijuana and moonshine production and violent opposition to federal agensts from the A.T.F. investigating in the region. Also it is concievable that some one could have cooked up a scenario by placing that word on his chest that people will look for an idealogically motivated killer to cover themselves. This isn't the time to look before we leap. In america people are innocent until proven guilty. However, guilty or not it wouldn't inspire Beck or Bachman or any other right wing mouthpiece to show personal accountability for their words, please stop dreaming.

hammywill,
"By your logic, everyone who protested Bush should also be tried for sedition. What's good for the goose."

I guess you don't recall the free speech pens. Oh yea you RW brownies want to forget about that when you have your angry violent town halls. Or your governors call for secession.

When you try to incite violence, that is sedition. Simply protesting actions is not. Michell Bachman had a long rant aboiut the Census and used the words revolution and told people they need to be armed. The crazy who did this probably listened to her.

Wow, some really bad journalism here. I'm not a fan of Beck, but I'm not blogging about him inspiring a murder with no proof. Is this guy serious?

Hey how about "Did the tooth fairy inspire Census worker's murder?"

Geez this website has developed a bad case of Beck Derangement Syndrome.

Harry Reid et al., have soldiers blood on their hands.

Blo-boy is going to get a lot of soldiers shot in the back as well.

.

Quick Answer - NO.

Lots of people have called Glen Beck a liar and supplied proof, but those afflicted with "Beliefism," a disease that causes one to believe anything regardless of evidence, can't be expected to understand.

The Authorities have not even determined if this was a murder or a suicide. Posting this story now is nothing more than sensationalism.

Michelle Bachman had been ranting on national Television about the CENSUS and the dangerous of it, and of course hate ranting against the government.

imno she and Glen have blood on their hands. They are trying to incite violence and start a revolution against our government. They should be tried for sedition.

They brought up the Nazi propagandist film makers on war crimes charges along with all those people who actually did the killing, gassing and cooking of all those Jews, gypsies, Russians,Pollocks, blacks, handicap and any poor MF that they got their hands on. My point is If you help stir up the violence you face the music with those you inspired, period.

Locutus,

How much do you get paid by Fox to keep Beck's name on Current everyday?

Who came first...Michael Moore or Glenn Beck?

Look at your own hate first. Don't think it has nothing to do with the reaction you are now seeing on the right.

Look at your hypocrisy in ignoring the corruption that now exists within the current administration and it's toadies like ACORN. It invalidates everything else you have to say. Bush is HISTORY and yes he was a joke but it does NOT excuse what is happening NOW.

One thing you cannot call Glenn Beck is a liar. The real reason you hate him is because he is exposing the repulsive left and is kicking AZZZ. And I suspect that we've seen nothing yet.

Wake the he11 up people.

Here is a Video Beck is about to get from Brierbart ...You wont belive it ,,,,,All I can say we won't be talking about that "PUUNY ACORN STORY"

Not a cause but definitely an influence. What needs to be taken into account here is the lesson of history. Extremists always talk against the people in power, but act against the weak. This "fed" was just a substitute school teacher trying to earn a little extra scratch. The people who killed him were reactionary cowards who shame themselves and the movement that will inevitably be scarred by their actions. Making it about Beck is just a diversion. The clowns don't run the circus.

Glenn Beck Had nothing to do with the Tea Party protest.. WTF???? shit is so twisted right now, nobody knows what's going on.

Liberals just drown in this blame game puke fest.

I am scared for my life because of this guy. I am originally from sfo but am stuck in Bethlahem. PA on a consulting project because of the bad CA employment rate.

This guy keeps trying to run me over in the parking lot because I once disagreed with him in the breakroom and said "it would be a decent idea for everyone to pay the same fed tax percent from their salary. Even Warren Buffet thinks it unfair that his secretary pays more taxes (percentage) than him."

He told be me I hated america because of my opinions - I am a veteran for god sakes!!! - when I asked him who else agreed with him he said the dreaded and scary, closeminded name "GLEN BECK"!!

So people of Current TV... if I stop posting stuff for a while please make a slight effort to look into this for me - I might be road kill.

dirtman,

Holy Shit! So now Beck is Manson? Come on.

How much different is Glenn Beck's televised calls for tea-bagging from Charles Manson's calls for Helter Skelter?... other than the fact that Beck hasn't pulled any triggers.

It's not so much how many viewers he has. It's where is the line? Is there a line? Faking the killing of a frog seems to be crossing a line. What's next?

i used to work for the census they get death threats daily

Give it a rest. This is pathetic. You assign so much power to this guy. He has what 3 million viewers out of a country of 307 million people? Who cares?

I can't wait for Beck to switch it up and play the victim role again. He is good for a laugh, And I'm not laughing with him......

Glenn Beck and his tea party loons not only stole Ron Paul's "gimmick" but are just as unbalanced and clueless as he is.

All this talk about Glenn Beck is making me want to cry..........How does this paranoid weasel get up in the morning with all his anger, gloom and doom?

Does whoever murdered this person and write FED across their chest have a problem? Yes.

Is fear mongering and skewing the truth further than its been skewed before wrong? Yes.

Nobody said Glenn Beck was using a super power, but inciting anger does have its consequences.

Yes, not only was he responsible for this murder, but Glenn Beck was also responsible for the Rodney King murder, 9/11, the assassination of JFK, the crack boom, the AIDS epidemic, and I'm pretty sure he engineered the first strain of cancer cells.

Do you people hear yourselves? The guy is an entertainer, and an asshole to boot. Leave it at that, he isn't using telekinesis to have people do his bidding. Just don't watch it and turn a deaf ear to any story about him. Jebus.

beck always says to be non-violent. what if the man just knocked on the door of the wrong meth-lab. we will know soon enough who is responsible for this sad event.>. if you see a sign that says no trespassing and you didnt put it up, that means you.

He is such a DOUCHEBAG.

Beck is sending unstable righties over the edge and more people will die. Does he give a shit? Not even a little one.

I'm sorry, Glen Beck is a lunatic, I agree. But I have known people who had this mentality WELL before Glen Beck ever had access to a Cable network. Unless you can show a DIRECT link, then I just have to assume this is a dubious connection at BEST, and is completely without merit.

I dont like this asshole hes always talkin bout other people and their socialistic ways but this idiot is a strong believer in McCarthyism which isnt that much better.

Yeah, I guess the guy who yelled "FIRE" in the crowded theater wasn't really responsible for the people who were trampled, it was just a coincidence that the people started running at the same time he yelled the false warning.

While it would be hard to prove a direct link between this murder and Glen Beck, there is no doubt that Glen Beck's twisted views are designed to inspire hatred, fear, and violent action. If America flocks to this lying, hateful, self promoting clown and his poison rhetoric, then I guess we all get what we deserve.
