Anyone else think Rachel Maddow is dancing in some strange Glenn Beck territory?
| DAVID BROCK: | But this is not street theater, as you know. |
| Glenn Beck himself has been responsible for three thwarted assassination attempts this year. And Sarah Palin -- | |
| CHRIS MATTHEWS: | How is he responsible for them? |
| BROCK: | Well, you want to know what they are? |
| MATTHEWS: | You said it. |
| BROCK: | Sure. |
| So, he burned Nancy Pelosi in effigy on his set. He tried to poison her with a chalice. OK. Some three weeks later, somebody tried to firebomb Nancy Pelosi`s house. That guy`s mother went on television and said he gets all his ideas from FOX News. | |
| Do you know about Senator Patty Murray and the death threat that she got? | |
| MATTHEWS: | No. Go ahead. |
| BROCK: | OK. It`s recorded. The guy says after the health care vote, he says, you have a target on your back and I can accomplish what I want to accomplish with one bullet. |
| He`s tried, convicted, and in the sentencing phase, his cousin writes in for leniency and she describes in a very chilling memo -- it`s on our Web site -- that he was slowly drawn into Glenn Beck`s world. And she portrays the guy, the attempted assassin, Charlie Wilson, as a victim of Beck. | |
| And, number three, which you probably do know about, this liberal foundation in San Francisco was targeted by a gunman, Byron Williams, in June. The shooter gave jailhouse interviews -- and we published them -- and he says Glenn Beck is a schoolteacher on television and points to specific episodes of the Glenn Becks show that inspired him to do it. | |
| MATTHEWS: | Oh, God. |
It’s almost better than watching the Real World/Road Rules Challange (and makes just as much sense).
