Clear Channel radio host Glenn Beck said he was "thinking about killing [filmmaker] Michael Moore" and pondered whether "I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it," before concluding: "No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong?"
From the May 17 broadcast of The Glenn Beck Program:
BECK: Hang on, let me just tell you what I'm thinking. I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong? I stopped wearing my What Would Jesus -- band -- Do, and I've lost all sense of right and wrong now. I used to be able to say, "Yeah, I'd kill Michael Moore," and then I'd see the little band: What Would Jesus Do? And then I'd realize, "Oh, you wouldn't kill Michael Moore. Or at least you wouldn't choke him to death." And you know, well, I'm not sure.
Beck's program is syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks (owned by radio conglomerate Clear Channel Communications) on more than 160 radio stations across the country to an estimated audience of 6 million listeners. He has previously falsely accused Moore of "taking help and money from Hezbollah" and called Michael Berg, who criticized the Bush administration after his son Nick was beheaded in Iraq, "despicable" and "a scumbag."

But Skid Row Joe idolizes Micheal More:
'Mr. Tom: Yes. I internally debated last night whether making that comment was trolling, but, what Michael Moore found in the documentary was that ASPECTS of Cuba's healthcare system responded better than America's. Who am I to disagree with Mr. Moore?
'
Personally, both sides are equally to blame on this. Yes, even Obama. In one sentance he will claim he wants to have open discusions, then starts to point fingers. It is hard to find how positions are incrogruent. Mainly, Latin/Hispanics. I think besides the immigration aspect, they would be more aligned to the Republicans values. Still, pointed out is the percentage of Liberals. What is the percentage of NEOCons? I don't see much good in either extreme. I see some good Democrats and some good Republicans. I think the middle ground is being fazed out in both parties.
Now on this particular event, the Left has played it well. Obamas confidence pols has risen drastically. I think he is over 50% at the moment. A far cry from a month before. I think he lucked into this one. Bohner crying on TV, didn't move me.
