Looks like Glenn Beck is touching some nerves. I suspect libs will not consider this hate speech however
and libs have to wonder why they can't compete with conservative radio talk show hosts like Rush, Sean, and Glen
Libtalker Malloy: I Hope Glenn Beck Kills Himself
DO IT LIVE, GLENN
Libtalker Takes Hate Speech To New Level
*** EXCLUSIVE TO THE RADIO EQUALIZER ***
Proving that liberal talk radio still has new frontiers of bad taste to explore, syndicated host Mike Malloy has openly called for FOX News Channel host Glenn Beck to commit suicide, something he hopes will occur live and on the air.
Heard during yesterday's Malloy program, it's the second time in a week that the former WLS/ Chicago talker has called for the death of one of his political opponents. Earlier, he said he hoped Rush Limbaugh would "choke to death".

What do you think the reaction would be if Sean, Rush, Glenn, Mark, or any other conservative were on air hoping openly for the suicide of any liberal?
The left would be outraged, and demand he be fired
So far all I see coming from the left on this is...... silence

So one liberal, preaching his tolerance, is an example of all of America? Noir, most of the hate comes from your side of the political asile
The left wallows in their hate of their political opponents
Here is another example of why liberals can't compete in the marketplace, and another example of liberal tolerance

I'm just amazed by it all, I'm pretty certain I have never heard a British news presenter wish death on another, or anything like it.
And I'm sure you can find thousands of clips of liberals being rude/insultive, as I am sure others can find thousands of clips on conservitive doing the same, don't be so puerile as to say 'they call us more names than we call them' pot, kettle, blackness.

This clown is NOT a news presenter - he is a wacko liberal talk show host
Noir, I have not seen any examples of a conservative talk show host, or elected offical wishing death on their political opponents

Yup, and I do hope to be in their one day, debating with the best of them. We have a very blunt method of scrutiny, no doubt. But that's just something which is inbuilt into British culture. Even when I was debating at school level you would get boos, cheers and heckles from the audience, but no matter how chaotic it may seem, the chair has respect, and is obeyed when it speaks.

It sounded like satire to me - but it also did sound like it was edited
If it was an accurate account of what he said, I am sure the liberal media would have been all over it, and the usual calls for Beck to be fired would been heard around the world
I do not recall hearing anything about it

Malloy represents all that is evil in humanity - hatred, viciousness, oppression and intolerance.
Beck represents hope that humanity can overcome that - faith, humility, honesty, and courage.
No wonder the far left has to take such vile shots at him. Again, this is liberal tolerance at its best
I don't think it sounded like satire, but anyways, googles a fair bit and can't find anything saying it was cut&pasted together, but did find several transcripts such as
http://mediamatters.org/iphone/research/200505180008
From the May 17 broadcast of The Glenn Beck Program
BECK: 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.

Media Matters? The hate site funded by George Soros? That is credible as the Daily Kos or the Demorat Underground
Malloy simply makes himself look like a vile little troll by doing what he does, and support will increase for Beck because of it.
It will all work out in the end
Righto, sorry I didn't know of mediamatterss or who runs it ECG, but there are many sources on google with the same story, and a video recording of Beck speaking, so what he said is in little doubt.
However, on my travels to find out more about this man I also found this
The Times mentioned one of the things Beck has said recently, to newly elected U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), a Muslim: "Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies." But as press critic Eric Alterman pointed out (Altercation, 12/4/06), as offensive as that question is, it doesn't begin to suggest the poisonousness of Beck's rhetoric about Muslims.
On his August 10 radio show, distributed by Clear Channel's Premiere Radio Networks, Beck told listeners, "The world is on the brink of World War III," then issued this warning:
All you Muslims who have sat on your frickin' hands the whole time and have not been marching in the streets and have not been saying, 'Hey, you know what? There are good Muslims and bad Muslims. We need to be the first ones in the recruitment office lining up to shoot the bad Muslims in the head.' I'm telling you, with God as my witness... human beings are not strong enough, unfortunately, to restrain themselves from putting up razor wire and putting you on one side of it. When things—when people become hungry, when people see that their way of life is on the edge of being over, they will put razor wire up and just based on the way you look or just based on your religion, they will round you up. Is that wrong? Oh my gosh, it is Nazi, World War II wrong, but society has proved it time and time again: It will happen.
On September 5, Beck took the same message to his CNN Headline News audience, declaring, "In 10 years, Muslims and Arabs will be looking through a razor wire fence at the West." He explained:
Since 9/11, Americans have gotten so fed up with the "yes, but" Muslims. The "yes, but" Muslims are the ones who show up on talkshows and in the media and say, "Yes, terrorism is bad, but"—and then they go through a list of reasons on why we should try and sympathize with people who fly planes into buildings.... If, God forbid, there's another attack, we won't have anymore patience for the "yes, buts." The Muslim community better find a spokesman who isn't a "yes, but" Muslim. They shouldn't even understand the word "but," because if they don't, when things heat up, the profiling will only get worse, and the razor wire will be coming.
Beck went on to say:
You want the profiling to stop? Then, here's an idea. Stop murdering innocent people. Stop excusing the people who do. You do that for a while, and I guarantee you won't have any more problems at the airports. Stop blowing stuff up and the world just might be your oyster. Otherwise, it's going to be like that movie, The Siege. You remember that movie? The Muslims will see the West through razor wire if things don't change.

I'm sure glad Beck is a tolerent and loving, I mean, could you imagin what he'd be like if he were not?
Btw, I'm not trying to suggest here that liberals are the goodies and beck and others Conservitives are badies ect ect, I'm just trying to point out that both sides are as bad as eachother.

I find it especially ghoulish that he brings up the history of suicide in Beck's family (which I didn't know about til now). Apparently both his mother and his brother.
When the audio started, I figured it was some sort of gag gone wrong
He doesn't deserve to have probably the most difficult moments in his life thrown in his face.
But that is a perfect example of the tolerance the left shows on a daily basis

Something to note about Glenn Beck. He's a satirist. And anyone that hasn't listened to him for long can easily misunderstand what he's saying. Not to mention he might stay on something for weeks to get a point across.
He's a practicing Morman. Very religious. He's honest and straight forward and digs into things the other hosts won't touch. I think he scares the liberals more than all the other talk show hosts combined.

Malloy has a history of making absurd attacks on Republicans, and it is an obvious tactic to elicit attention - and liberal moonbats as listeners
This comment is both ridiculous and disgusting, and fits right into his schtick. He's really just another liberal loser with a microphone who is desperate for ratings, and probably jealous of the ratings Beck, Rush, and Sean get

It is too bad that most Liberal talk show hosts have resorted to a shock jock mentality,a dn their ratings still stink

I saw a few clips of him on the Dialy show about a month back were he had cut up parts of a speech that Obama had made to make it sound like he supported terrorism in Pakistan , then Jon cut up some of what Beck had said to make it sound like he too was supporting terrorism.

You know nothing about Beck. All you have ever seen or heard are out takes from one show or another. And since its all presented on liberal media your getting their version of things and they will make him appear as bad as they can. You can never get the full honest truth about Beck where you are.
Your condemning someone you know absolutely nothing about. The very same thing I have seen you get you wand in a knot over many times before. So stop proving that ALL liberals are hypocrites and try being the exception for once.

Well let me tell you what I know. When I started following American politics for my A levels I decided to keep my eye on CNN and Fox news, back when I was doing my AS levels Glen Beck was on CNN, and I quite liked the show because it gave a decent conservitive spin on anotherwise liberal channel and felt well fitted. Then he disapeared for a while last year, before reapearing earlyer this year except on Fox, well in time for A2 level reserch, I assume he is still there now (I haven't kept up on my American politics much over the summer)
I think that he can be a bit of a prat who loves to play up to the camera, but lost within that are some pretty good arguements. So even I must say I was surprised - and then again not surprised - when I found some of the things he has said/done earlyer today.
But please, I do a he'll of allot of reserch into American politics to try and be as knowing as I can. Don't just assume I know nothing.

I've been watching Glen Beck since I attended my first protest rally on April 15th - our local tea party held at Courthouse Square. I grew up in the 60's and never attended a rally or march, but I felt compelled to attend the tea party. I actually got up on one of the park benches and insisted that we all say the Plege of Allegiance.....that is how outspoken I've become since this administration has taken over. I feel they are definitely turning this country into a social state.

There you are again telling me I know nothing about him, I have known of him and his shows and have watched them many times over the past 3 years, ofcourse I wasn't listening to his radio shows 10 years ago, but you could hardly expect a 9 year old to follow another nations political comentator, could you? Ofcouse there will be a certain limit to what I can know, you can turn on the radio, or look into American chat shows and see/hear him and others daily, however, having seen his shows on CNN & FOX, which are ofcourse uncut, for 3 years I find it amazing that you think you can tell me that I know nothing, does your ignorence know no bounds?

I think there's equal blame to go around here.
There are compassionate and open-minded liberals. There are compassionate and open-minded conservatives as well. There are also those on each side who are compassionate and open-minded sometimes, but get into moods and sometimes are filled with a dark passion that causes them to not be. I've been guilty of that myself.
I don't think, however, that the sins we all share disbars us from dealing with health care reform. If Jesus Christ ran a privatized health care company, I'd agree with you. Since He doesn't, I'm prone to think that the privatized health care companies are prone to the same lack of compassion and open-mindedness.

How many times does a conservative express the same?
I think there's equal blame to go around here.

I am speaking under the presupposition that we both agree that conservative men and women in the past have made death threats against liberals and liberal leaders.
I suppose I can try hunting down a statement somewhere (I doubt I would have run across this Glenn Beck threat randomly had I not been here).
What the man said was not right, but there is plenty of hate in both sides. The hate is bad from either side. I'm not excusing what he said, but simply stating that hate is not in liberals alone.

Equivication isnt something I like. Im not going to justify my actions because someone else does it too.

Of course you would. I mean why would the people who care enough to provide cures and pay for services, have compassion?
And why would their lack of compassion somehow justify the government to put them out of business and take control of our health.

I reject that presumption.

The man never made a threat. I know Glenn. The man doesnt want to kill people simply because they disagree with him. People want to kill him for that.

You very much are excusing what he is saying. You are here defending him. Its all Glenns fault that people want him dead.

What you will see though is that the fringe seeps through. The difference is that we are not hearing death threats and calls of people being Nazi's from some kook in a barn somewhere chatting with his like minded buddies. We are hearing these comments from our politicians and news-anchors on nationally televised programs.
Our government is calling we the people a "mob" for daring to have a different opinion then them. If we are supposed to lead by example, then our leaders certainly setting the example for the kooks to follow.

We don't both agree on anything. You do hear conservatives of national prominence calling for anyone to be killed. You also don't find conservatives burning the flag, shiting on the flag, burning the president in effigy, calling people nazi's, attacking speakers at meetings, damaging public and private property, or rioting.
Hunt down one that has called for someones death. I would bet he won't be a conservative.
The idea that there is plenty of hate on both sides is lame. That's the standard liberal answer when they won't accept responsibility for their actions. Look around for someone else to blame besides the perpetrator.

Will Media Matters put up a video of this on Youtube?
