Not sure I can go down that road with you. Despite the statement being borderline or hell, beyond the line, it's still a wide *** gorge to someone actually committing the crime. Rhetoric is rhetoric, no more and no less. Certainly not unique to party either.
I never have a problem with honest disagreement when I share an opinion on a subject. But surely you can see the difference between rhetoric that is calling on a violence act to occur and one that is just foolish in spewing a half truth on someone's record or whatever. And this stupid "unique to either party" crap you and Rog keep spilling, I have the same opinion if I see ANYONE threaten another with violence in this manner. Political affiliation doesn't matter. We are all Americans.

interesting rhetoric is Louis Farrakhan calling Hillary Clinton a "wicked woman", referencing Satan and her together, as well as him calling for 10,000 blacks to stalk and kill whites". Proving Beck criminally incites others is futile where Farrakhan's intent is incredibly glaring. Let's arrest him.

What's "thin" is this supposed suggestion of violence by Hemsworth.... Thor... whoever he is.

"The comments "may be reasonably construed by some to have been advocating harm against an individual currently running for office," SiriusXM said in a statement.

During an interview May 25, author Brad Thor said he was "about to suggest something very bad" before citing a weak Congress and asking "what patriot will step up" to stop President Trump if he tried to exceed the powers of his office.

"I would agree with you on that," Beck responded." - Fox News

So, Fox news reported it, Sirius agrees that it could be construed as advocating violence and Beck himself agreed that it could be construed as advocating violence.

Maybe you need a new definition of "thin".

And didn't Glenn Beck use to work for Fox News? I thought so.

I didn't mean to insinuate you were blinded by party affiliation on this. It was just an overarching point for the board's consumption. Yes, I can see a difference and I agree it's dangerous, I just don't think it falls in line with criminally culpable.

Nope... it's still pretty fuc#ing thin.

Sirius has a business decision to make. That's their choice, though censorship of any kind annoys me, and it disappoints me that Sirius, who gave Howard Stern his best home ever, would react in such a knee jerk manner, it's certainly within their right to do what they did.

Really...no divisive and dangerous rhetoric from the left huh? Have you read any of the statements from Obama about police and racism...he's a supporter of BLM...the same BLM that chants
“F**k the Police,” “Murderer Cops,” and “Racism Is the Disease, Revolution Is the Cure” T-shirts, “Stop Police Terror” signs, and “Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Racist Cops Have Got to Go”. That group outright calls for the killing of police and Obama applauds their efforts.

I didn't say there wasn't foolish on the left. I don't compare apples to oranges.

In the past, I have denounced dangerous comments from the left. Don't know what you are trying to prove with these talking points.

Say Bru -you still haven't answered the basic questions: What crimes did Beck commit and why should he be arrested?

Or was your post just another in a long...LONG string of your lies and misdirections?

Again, I typically don't respond to dumbasses but will make an exception.

I answered your question in my original post. You are too dumb too understand the conversation.

No, you made a few false allegations, but, that's about it.
