Mob Boos Repub Congressman About Glenn Beck: "Here's What I Suggest: Turn That Television Off"
Those town halls continued over the weekend across the country, and at one, held by South Carolina Republican congressman Bob Inglis Thursday night, Fox News host Glenn Beck came up.

Responding to a woman toward the front of the crowd, Rep. Inglis said, "There's a suggestion up here. A suggestion to watch Glenn Beck. Here's what I suggest: turn that television off."

That did not sit well with the constituents. And even Rep. Inglis's explanation was hard to hear over the jeers.

(It's in the first minute of this 9-minute video):

1. Fox is encouraging sedition, and through their hate message encouraging people
to do harm to Obama

Every time they the Democratic party the Democrat party, they are sending a message that Democrats are not Americans

Every time they call Obama a racist, they are sending the message that Obama is against whites

The republican party, and fox, has evolved into the party of encouraging racism, personal destruction, lies

What is pathetic is that there are so few Democrats that call these scum out

He sounds like a brave man, with more brains than the average Republican.
