Tipping Point? Glenn Beck Fan Arrested With Guns and Ammo
http://www.mediaite.com/online/tipping-point-glenn-beck-fan-arrested-with-guns-and-ammo/

The New York Post reports a Long Island single mother of three was arrested Thursday for “scouting out and taking pictures” of an Air National Guard base, with an assault rifle, a shotgun and 500 rounds of ammunition in her car.

And wouldn’t you know, The Daily Kos finds today that this woman was a big Glenn Beck fan. Luckily this woman was stopped before she could hurt anyone, but it was only a matter of time before a Fox News host like Beck was going to inspire a crazy person to act on their already simmering feelings of government antipathy.

The Kos story cites the woman’s, Nancy Genovese, Myspace page (she’s also on Twitter), which has an embedded clip from Beck’s June 17 program and a post calling for others to re-post it (video is below). “I just saw Glenn Beck tell it like it is!” Genovese writes. Here’s some of what Beck said in that segment, speaking to President Barack Obama and Congress as a whole:

We are coming. We will be heard. We will be represented. You think that we are so busy with our lives that we will never come for you. And we were. But now you’ve gone and done it. We are the formally silent majority, all of us. Quietly work, pay our taxes, obey the laws, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone – now looking up at you. You have awakened us, and a patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful. It had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far.

1. If they are the "formally silent majority"
Why did Obama win.

They can't even lie well.

5. This only the beginning.
I've stopped wearing my Obama gear for fear of becoming a senseless statistic. This kind of stuff is going to happen more frequently I'm afraid.
