JOHN HINDERAKER: THE LEFT’S TUCSON STRATEGY, STAGE TWO. Glenn Beck accurately quotes France Fox Piven’s calls for violence, then gets called evil when she gets “threats.”
Glenn Beck has pulled back the curtain on this disgraceful specimen by quoting her accurately. No one has identified any statements he has made about Piven that are incorrect, or claims that he has in any way threatened her. Unlike Piven, Beck is a staunch opponent of political violence. But the mis-named Center for Constitutional Rights–another Orwellian touch–thinks there is such a thing as too much free speech. They want Fox News to shut Beck up because of the “sheer quantity” of Beck’s references to Piven.
They can take anything except honest discussion.
