On Tuesday, Glenn Beck defended his controversial remarks that Occupy Wall Street protesters would "kill" the wealthy.

He had given a stark warning about the Occupy Wall Street movement on Monday, painting protesters as "Marxist radicals" who would "drag you into the streets and kill you." Rachel Maddow, among others, has mocked Beck for his gruesome warning.

On Tuesday, Beck reiterated that he stands by his controversial remarks. He said that some of the protesters were very well "Marxist revolutionaries" and that his warning pertained to the protests spiraling out of control. "These people are dangerous," he warned, adding that political leaders do not have the foresight to see the storm coming.

He then ticked off what he said were the crimes committed by Marxist revolutionaries, including Che Guevara, Mao and Stalin. Echoing his earlier warning about the Occupy Wall Street protesters, he said, "Do you know why people starved to death in the Ukraine? You know why socialism never works? Because they kill all the people who know how to make things. They kill all the industrialists. They kill them all. They drag them in the streets and kill them."

Coming back to the protests in New York, he said, "It ends in violence with Marxists every single time the same way" and alleged that demonstrations of Marxism were "wrapped in hate." He then went on to say that unlike the protests, his criticism of President Obama was never "personal" and alleged that President Obama is "a die-hard Marxist."

    • What is it that Wall Street manufactures? Stock brokers make a commission when the stock, essentially a piece of paper, goes down and the make it when it goes up.
      What are the fruits of their labor at the end of the day, month or year. Nothing but money in their pocket and they haven't planted one seed, framed one house, cooked one "Happy Meal" or produced anything. When you make money and you produce nothing, you are a siphon in a capitalistic system; in essence a parasite. A blood sucking Tick.

      But they have to keep their mouths moving to maintain the destruction and distraction.
      I particularly like Herman Cain's statement, "If you're not rich, no job, blame yourself". I wonder what he pays his employees that work in the Pizza trenches. By his own lips, they have a job, so they should be rich.
      What he's saying is," Ask for a raise, you won't have a job, you won't be rich and it's your fault for wanting to get paid more.

    • I am not sure about Glen, Somehow I think he is longing for the Marie Antoinette moment, real socialists just want to achieve a just society, violent revolution just wastes resources. I am sure we could find a useful role for Glen if he would just start talking sense again.

      I for one do not want to see heads rolling in the street. It wasn't any fun last time..
