Woman gets death threats after being targeted by Glenn Beck
An Illinois woman who volunteered to moderate a congressional debate received numerous threats of violence and death threats after being targeted personally by Fox News personality Glenn Beck, according to a report a colleague filed last week with the FBI.
The connection between Beck talking and death threats occuring seems clear enough, doesn't it?
I suppose the good news here is that the FBI is involved already.
Here's the video of Beck targeting the woman:

Since then, death threats have appeared on “right-wing websites,” said Czarnik, who provided printouts to the FBI. She also reported menacing posts on Fox News Channel's Facebook page and Beck's website, The Blaze.
“We don't say the Pledge of Allegiance at our events and we should be shot or hanged?” said Czarnik, who went to the FBI on Wednesday. “Who are these people?”
Great, great question; who ARE these people?
They are highly-paid republican party operatives.
They are walking the finest line between protected free speech and openly calling for targeted violence. Beck's managers basically told people to fuck off:
Joel Cheatwood, an executive who oversees Beck's show, issued a statement after Fox News was contacted Thursday.
“We're not going to comment on something that's hypothetical as we have not heard about this complaint,” Cheatwood said.
Let them tell it to the F.B.I.
At some point law enforcement is going to have to talk with Beck's people - probably after a number of other innocent liberal people have been killed.
