Wingnut Revolution with Guns

I want to hear Glenn Beck tell us again that what he says on his show doesn't foment gun violence. The leap from "Obama is a fascist" to "Must bring a gun to Washington and/or presidential town hall" is a very, very short one and Glenn Beck ought to know this.

Case in point from a Chuck Grassley town hall:

“The president of the United States, that’s who you should be concerned about. Because he’s acting like a little Hitler,” said Tom Eisenhower, a World War II veteran. “I’d take a gun to Washington if enough of you would go with me.”

Glenn Beck and the others are seizing upon white fear and slack-jawed ignorance in order to build their ratings and their personal fortunes. History proves that "ignorance and prejudice and fear" leads to violence almost every time.
