Arianna argued that the government cannot legally hold Glenn Beck liable, but we should hold him "morally liable" for the violence and anger his show may provoke. Arianna wants Fox to fire Beck and praised the firing of Lou Dobbs from CNN.
As for Glenn Beck encouraging violence... that would violate the First Amendment and we could hold him responsible. But has Beck really done that? Or has the Left begun its assualt on Beck because they fear he has gained an audience by relentlessly criticizing President Obama.
With fresh blood in the water after successfully getting CNN to fire another Obama critic, I suspect activist groups and the Left Wing media have zeroed in on Beck.
Arianna owns her media company, so she should recognize the danger in encouraging the media from firing its staff because of pressure from activists.

+85I think Arianna probably doesn't miss a show. Here's the problem Arianna, and her ilk, faces - The US Constitution. Inside the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and that 17 page document lies the answer to her absurd assertions about revolution and violence. Something people like Huffington don't understand are the wordings within those docs and why they came into being.
I was present with the others who attended 9/12. That wasn't a Glenn Beck project though he supported that. That was essentially the beginning of the present revolt against this excessive spending and excessive big government that the majority of Americans are fed up with. It was peaceful. This country is very capable of peacefully ending tyranny and disposing of tyrants.
I tell people these days, who weren't there, that if that crowd had wanted to empty the Capitol Building there wouldn't be too much that anyone could have done to prevent that. The sheer numbers would have over whelmed any resistance. That isn't something that was necessary at that moment in time.
I dealt violence for 23 years as a service member. it isn't pretty and listening to Beck doesn't incite me to do anything. Tyranny and idiocy could eventually spur me to a different recourse but I'm like many other Americans. I'll give them enough rope to hang themselves.

Exposing the papers they wrote, speeches,and videos of the obama admin...and then asking people to decide for themselves...is hardly a call to violence.
But I can see why ariana , and the nutroots ilk fear an informed public.
But I think the only violence at the parties was from the SCIU....or started by the nutroots .
Wow...did you see the Copenhagen police clubbing those fools with night sticks? LOL...I let out a cheer !
And last I heard FOX may pick up Dobbs, because he slanted away from the terror on TV coming from all the left/liberal channels.
To the Left wing medias, good luck at getting Beck fired, his ratings are so far up the ladder that it will not ever happen. He is definitely one of my favorite guys from FOX
Obama sees that he is a filthy commie pig and just doesn`t like his reflection.
All the libs who are commie loving scumbags want Glenn Beck removed go figure.
They all hate America, and just can`t seem to understand why so many of us Love America. This libs hate Glenn beck because his ratings prove that there are more of us who do love America then there are of the commie loving retards.
You remember him - that part-time census worker. You'll know - just like writer Andrew Sullivan told us - he was the victim of those hateful tea party bashers, those racist anti-government extremists who preach extermination of every program that helps the poor. The Kentucky guy's demise was all so predictable what with those right-wingers spewing their unbridled hate the way they do. No doubt about it, his murder can be laid directly at the feet of those militant hate mongers, people like trash-talking blogger Michelle Malkin, racist right-wing talk-show host Rush Limbaugh (who only wants to get into the NFL so he can lord it over the high-salaried black athletes), and that Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. Progressive talk show host Stephanie Miller was...

Michele Bachmann! Can you imagine being so irresponsible as to denounce the 2010 census the way she did, and just a couple weeks before the guy's murder. No question about it - she bears full responsibility for the barbaric goons who strung him up. Author Richard Benjamin was so properly indignant to tell us so.
Oh, wait - just a minute here. There is a small problem. Today we have learned that all of that was a lie. It so happens the Kentucky census worker wasn't murdered at all. Authorities tell us he committed suicide. He only tried to make it look like a homicide. Oops.
