The day after the terrible murders at a Congressional event in Tucson, Arizona, the Reverend Beck sent an e-mail to the ex-governor of Alaska Sarah Palin, according to Beck he wrote:
“Sarah, as you know, peace is always the answer. I know you are felling the same heat, if not much more on this. I want you to know you have my full support.”
He then encouraged her to get some protection because an “attempt on you could bring the Republic down.”
Excuse me? An attempt on Sarah Palin’s life “could bring the Republic down”? Really? It could “bring the Republic down”?
If one ever needed evidence of the delicate state of the sanity of those involved here, one wouldn’t ever have to search any further. To think, much less to say, that if someone attempted to kill Sarah Palin it could “bring the Republic down”?
Reverend Beck, just who do you think Sarah Palin is? In the 200+ year history of the Republic there have been 13 Presidents of whom we know there were assassination attempts, and at least four Presidents have been assassinated, and through all of that the Republic has remained strong. Through the assassination of Robert Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Republic remained solvent. But you believe if there was an attempt on Sarah Palin’s life it could “bring down the Republic”?
I ask again, who do you think – believe – Sarah Palin is? She isn’t a Messiah any more than President Obama is the Messiah. She isn’t someone who is on an equal with the “Founders” of the nation.
You Mr. Beck are sadly delusional in her worth to the Republic and in your own worth to this country. She is a former mayor of a one horse town, and ex-governor who quit when she couldn’t take the heat, and you are a two-bit charlatan who can only remain popular as he feeds his fans one more lunatic idea after another. If an attempt was made on either of your seemingly self important, self indulgent, pathetic little lives; I assure you sir the Republic would not fall. It wouldn’t gasp, and it wouldn’t even shudder. It would remain strong and vibrant, and keep plugging along. If the deaths of men like Lincoln and Kennedy, and the attempted murders of Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt, Reagan and Obama haven’t brought down the Republic, your deaths would nary even send a ripple across the surface.
Take a look in the mirror Glenn; you ain’t all that and a bag of potato chips; and neither is she.
