The controversy over a Nevada rancher’s decades-long use of public land without paying federal grazing fees has quickly become a national issue — one that Glenn Beck on Monday urged Americans to fully understand before taking a side on.
“We did some research online with PsyID today, and found that there’s about 10 or 15 percent of the people who are talking about this online that are truly frightening,” Beck said on his television program. “They don’t care what the facts are. They just want a fight.”
Beck said there are many “decent, small-government proponents from groups like the Tea Party” supporting Bundy, and they need to be aware that the controversy has drawn “violent, anti-government” individuals who are “the right’s version of Occupy Wall Street,” as well....

OK Glenn as long as you don’t cry.
I can see his point.
Alot of the times with riots, people come out and loot just to steal a TV and run amuck, having no idea what the original protest was about.
He has a right to be free from being attacked by his government acting outside it’s rightful limits...
Fox’s the FIVE agree with Beck.
+1. Nailed it!
When a center-left network appears and competes against a left and far-left network, they sometimes appear conservative.
The time for action, if not now, then when? This seems to me to be an obvious place and time to make a stand. The recent push to take people’s guns away is a big red flag here. They know their time is coming.

Yeah. I’ve read them. Like I said, believable, but totally unproven.
Under Clinton they passed a full AWB. I haven’t seen the Feds do anything like that since then. I mean actually pass a Bill, not just propose one.
The time for action was way back then, too, I guess?
Bookmarked for later viewing.
Yes, actually.
Too many turtles (not tortoises) on fenceposts on that one.
My default position is that the government is lying until it's proven otherwise.
Exactly how is the gov’t acting outside it limits?
So, our country is not worth fighting for? We should remain passive?
It’s not a death warrant—it is a lessor not extending a lease.
People have to deal with things like that all the time.
Erica Ritz, the writer, is the assistant editor of the Blaze, which is owned by Beck.
Why would she dis her own boss?
So who fell for what? Next time you decide to jump to conclusions you might want to put on a parachute........
Art 1 Sec 8 lays it out pretty specifically.
Post roads, post offices, government buildings, navy docks, .mil bases, and ten miles square for DC.
No where else does the FedGov get to “own” and have ownership of anything.
Period.
And yes, I know what the 9th Circus has said.
I am done with Beck as of today.
I used to put up with the stuff I didn’t like for the things I did. But he came out today and called himself a pacifist. That tells me what I need to know. You can’t claim to love and support the founders and then condemn their methods. Glenn says he would not support violence unless God told him to do so. So divine manifestation is the standard now to take up arms?
I’m also sick of his MLK and Gandhi worship. You can’t talk to me about loving freedom and independence, and then turn around every five seconds and fall all over yourself to kiss the rear end of a socialist. Beck gives lip service to the founders, but then anytime the question of how to deal with adversity comes up, its not what would Washington or Jefferson do...its what would MLK or Gandhi do.
One last thing. He tried to make the argument today that violence is not justified because we have “representation” and because the founders were more long suffering before they revolted with arms. Glenn, to the representation point, what the hell do you think immigration is all about? They want to flood the ballot box with 20 million Mexicans,and 3 times that many welfare recipients,making your vote worthless. As to the founders and the time frame, technology is moving far faster than it did then. they could suffer for 20 years and then revolt because they still had the means. If we wait that long, we wont have the guns to do it with or the freedom to organize. You can’t live on a 1776 time frame anymore.
