Glenn Beck to Sarah Palin: An ‘attempt on you could bring the Republic down’
Daily Caller ^ | 1/10/2011 | Laura Donovan / Will Rahn

Posted on 01/10/2011 11:13:13 AM PST by markomalley

In the wake of Saturday’s Tucson, Ariz., shooting that left Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in critical condition, six dead and more than a dozen injured, former Alaska gov. Sarah Palin reached out to Fox’s Glenn Beck via e-mail.

“Sarah, as you know, peace is always the answer. I know you are felling the same heat, if not much more on this,” Beck wrote Palin in an e-mail, which he read on-air during his radio program Monday.

“I want you to know you have my full support,” Beck told Palin. “You are always in my thoughts and prayers.”

Concerned for her safety,  Beck urged Palin to protect herself and invest in more security because an “attempt on you could bring the Republic down.”

“There are nutjobs on all sides,” Beck said. “Tomorrow I am issuing a challenge to reject all violence. If people really believe Americans can become some version of al Qaeda, I will not stand in the shadows as too many overseas did after 9/11. Terror is terror. I don’t care if it’s for Allah or for your party, you are not a freedom fighter, but a killer. There is a difference between a hard-fought political battle and violence … It’s time for politics to stop and sanity to begin.”

Palin responded, “I hate violence. I hate war. Our children will not have peace if politicos just capitalize on this to succeed in portraying anyone as inciting terror and violence. Thanks for all you do to send the message of truth and love and God as the answer.”

Beck went on to say a few brief words about Giffords, who he had talked about on his show once before.

“I used her as an example of someone with some political courage,” Beck said.

Since Saturday’s massacre, both Beck and Palin have been criticized by dozens of pundits and bloggers. Palin has been accused of inspiring the incident for creating a map during elections targeting districts of several liberal lawmakers, including Giffords’s district, with the cross hairs of a rifle scope and instructing her followers, “Don’t retreat, reload.”

I reject violence in the political process. But I am not disarming.

Jeebus H., have we become that much of a gawd-damned Banana Republic that if some crazy wacko does something like that, then it could "take down the Republic"???

A person can strike a match in an empty room or a powder magazine with two very different results.

World War I was started by an assassination. That war ended more than one government and nation.

I hope Palin and Beck knock off these third-grade emails to each other which they then publicize to the world.

I'm not typing more because I'm a admirer of each of them...and Sarah's constant twittering, face-booking, emailing is getting on my nerves because I don't want to see her fail.

This contrived stuff the two of them are pulling is an obvious bid for publicity and, in its own way, is exploiting the present news of the day that they're abhoring in the Left.

If they want to genuinely reach out to each other, do it by email, phone or Western Union, fine....but keep it private and personal.

Sheesh....

Are you guys serious!? How does this work exactly!?

This republic has had its capital sacked, had half the country rise up in a well organized armed rebellion, had several presidents die while in office, had numerous popular political figures assassinated, fought multiple wars, and gone through several periods of economic upheaval.

Somehow Sarah Palin getting attacked would undo the republic?

This is just as bad as when the Obama folks whispering about riots in the streets if he didn’t win or felt cheated out of a win.

To the stupid or gutless conservatives who don’t back Palin, can’t they see that the left fears Palin the most! Every time they get a chance they blame Palin, before it was Bush, and before him, Reagan!

They never mention Mitt, Huchster, Funny!

Think about this. We have people running this Country that do not know the difference between Surveyor Symbols / Printers Marks and Crosshairs on a Rifle Scope.

IF they do know the difference, (which we here all know they do), they are nothing but liars and instigators who are guilty of Slander and Character Assassination

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

    John Stuart Mill
