Glenn Beck On The Alabama Shooting



One of the under-appreciated lessons of radical violence in the Sixties was that, if you indulge in it, you alienate people who might otherwise be your allies. That was the key reason the Weathermen never gained any real influence at all in American politics and why the New Left had no staying power.

I'm surprised America's Right hasn't suffered any violence, after all the damage it's done around the world. That reticence to go medieval on conservatives is among the reasons Progressives are slowly gaining the upper hand in American politics. It's more mature, and it wins allies.

Thus, I find it amusing that Bill O'Reilly, of all people, is pressed into pulling back Glenn Beck from his PC-rage fantasy.

Go ahead, Glenn. Make my day....
