By Brody Levesque (Washington DC) JAN 13 | Media Matters founder, David Brock, appearing on MSNBC's Hardball last night, listed three occurrences where a crazed assassin targeted a liberal politician or institution, and where evidence later emerged that the assassin may have been a viewer of Fox News' Glenn Beck's show. Brock told host Chris Matthews:
"Glenn Beck himself has been responsible for three thwarted assassination attempts this year."
Matthews questioned Brock whether or not he truly believed that such tangential evidence truly would establish the conservative commentator as somehow "responsible" for each assassination attempt. Brock, for his part answered in the affirmative.
Also appearing with Brock, was political analyst Ron Reagan, who, in his criticism of Beck stated;
"Beck, constantly refers to political opponents on the left as traitors, treasonous, Marxists, fascists, Nazis, [and saying] we've got to do something about it, we may have to take to the street. You can see that as entertainment, but some people like Mr. Loughner are not going to see that as entertainment, they are going to take it seriously. . . . We all expected something like this, awful like this, was going to happen and it did."
