Glenn Beck on Liberal Florida Shooter: “You Can Tell He’s Liberal Because He Can’t Shoot” (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, December 15, 2010, 12:08 PM
The far left Mediaite website was stunned today to hear that Glenn Beck had linked the liberal Florida school board shooter to liberal websites.
Mediaite reported:
While CNN viewers watched in horror as a disgruntled man opened fire on members of a Florida school board, at least one Fox News pundit was watching along. Glenn Beck took to his radio show to discuss the unfortunate events, and he did so in classic Beckian fashion. As usual, he began with Media Matters and twisted his way to the “satisfying story of the year” – the Florida shooter’s supposed liberal leanings. “You can tell he’s a liberal because he can’t shoot,” he said, whipping his audience into a cheerful frenzy.
It started with him shaming the “despicable people” of Media Matters, as well as the media in general, for painting “Tea Party people as violent.” He stressed that impassioned people from either side of the aisle aren’t “nut jobs,” and that “Crazy” isn’t partisan. But his admirable message took a turn when he began to politicize last night’s shooting. His co-host took the floor to say:
According to the Blaze.com, Clay Duke, the man who opened fire on a Florida school board Tuesday, posted a “last testament” on Facebook decrying the wealthy and linking to a slew of progressive sites including… Media Matters!
Beck, of course, chimed in to exclaim “Media Matters!” along with his wingman. Anyway, this all stemmed from Clay Duke’s Facebook page, which lists Media Matters, Warren Buffet, and theprogressivemind.info as some of his interests.

Conservatives are not more violent than progressives, they are just more accurate shooters.
Cargosquid commented:
Except that Beck said that no one was responsible for this nut’s actions except the nut. No one else. He specifically said this, knowing that lib media wouldn’t report it.
wheezer commented:
thats at least one thing in the LEFTovers favor……
Chisum commented:
Beck better be careful. He’s going to hurt some leftist’s feel-wings.
And we all know they’re dangerous when wet.

Andreas K. commented:
Maybe a bit tactless from Beck, but let’s face one thing…
If the shooter had links to Beck & co on his facebook site, the media would be all over it and would blame Beck, Jim here, Michelle Malkin and everybody else for it.
RSweeney commented:
I suspect that the shooter did not really intend to hit anyone.
He was there to die.
PaleRyder commented:
The left is ‘stunned’,what a load of crap. The left wears these things with a badge of honor when a leftist goes on a killing spree. They have been encouraging and seeking the death of their political foes for years now. When you can sit on set at msnbc and not get called out or denounced for wishing the death of Palin and her family,but rather laughed about,you have no creditability on this issue whatsoever. The death threats from the left against conservatives have increased 100 fold since this bedwetting coward in the oval office and his herd of sewers in the media have been running DC. Obama himself has called for the use of guns,knives and any methods needed to force feed America their steaming pile of hate.

absolutely, if it was a conserv, “nut” linking to beck, the looney left media would be all over it. they can dish it but can’t take
MrGoodWench commented:
So Van Jones is responsible for this death ?
Just like AlGore is responsible for the Discovery Channel shooter’s death ?
Carl McPherson commented:

I had the same thought, that this guy was a leftie since he didn’t hit anyone…
which group of Americans, left or right, has been buying up all the guns and ammo since the 2008 election? righties are prepared… probably have done some practice shooting “just in case” things get dicey…
Beck’s observation is spot on
Dave-O commented:
The shooter was obviously unfamiliar with the operation of the pistol. He almost shoots himself accidentally on two separate occasions before he deliberately turned the gun on himself. Seems as if that was the only “on target” round fired by the shooter – and thankfully that was the case. It was a miracle that no one else was killed or injured.
Henry Hawkins commented:
I watched the CNN video of the shooting and he most certainly was trying to kill the school board superintendent. His first shot hits the desktop not one foot in front of the man and in direct line with his chest. You can see the papers fly up. Also, I never saw him turn the gun on himself – he was shot by an off camera security guard, a retired police detective.
On the other hand, the shooter did so much standing around and talking/arguing, he may well have been delaying until police arrived for some ‘suicide-by-cop’. But the superintendent, arguing with the guy, suggested the shooter wanted the cops to kill him and that set him off. Next came the shot that hit the desk one foot in front of the superintendent.
James commented:
Did Mediaite get an equivalent case of vapors when Sparkman committed suicide? How not only opinion shows and blogs, but many of the “hard news” media were so quick to tie it to such people as…Glenn Beck?
AuntieMadder commented:
“…whipping his audience into a cheerful frenzy.”
There another bit of libtarded projection.
AuntieMadder commented:
Oops. Meant to type: There’s another bit of…
AuntieMadder commented:
I knew the guy was a leftard when the news reporter stated that he was angered by his wife having been fired from her teaching job. Teaching job = union job = perceived lifetime position and pension regardless of job performance and/or local and/or national economy(s) = entitlement-minded = leftard.
donh commented:
Glenn Beck has to wear a bullet proof vest because of people like this. The media is not covering this story with the same air of pleasure as the suicide of Bernie Madoff’s son. They always make excuses when it is one of their own followers. I am surprised nobody is claiming he was “entrapped” like they do with the jihadists.
MAJ Mike commented:
Was he Moslem?
scituate_tgr commented:
“…the suicide of Bernie Madoff’s son.”
I’d bet you a dollar the son’s sipping cocktails on a beach somewhere on the Mediterranean.
ravenhairedmaid commented:
Beck’s in liberal hot water for stating the facts? What a shock.
Liberals, really, ask yourselves: Do you really object to people telling the truth, or do you simply not like it when the truth isn’t what you want to believe?

S.Wolf, while at your site, I read today’s post about Prezdint Jackass sucking up to China and wanted to leave a comment. While attempting to register at the site, however, the lag as I typed in my personal info was so great that I got the heebie jeebies and backed out of the form. Don’t know if it’s always like that so I thought I should let you know.

AuntieMadder.. sigh, well, these days with spam and all I had to set the registration for admin approval, and then I am trying out a new look which probably slows it. I don’t get too many who want to join to comment so I apologize for the discombobulation you experienced..
