Glenn Beck Jokes About Putting Poison in Nancy Pelosi's Wine (VIDEO)



Fox News Channel's Glenn Beck is at it again. This time he jokes about adding poison to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's glass of wine on his show on yesterday. I am no fan of Nancy Pelosi, but suggesting to put poison in her wine is outrageous and Beck is continuing to incite the fringe in the Republican Party.

As the Beck imagined what it would be like to go to a Pelosi fundraiser, a staffer sat across the table from him wearing a Pelosi mask.

As the staffer raised a glass of red wine to her lips, Beck demanded, "Drink it. Drink it. Drink it."

He then added, "I wanted to thank you for having me over here in wine country... By the way, I put poison in your... No. I look forward to all the policy discussions we're supposed to have. You know, on health care, energy reform, and the economy. Hey, is that Sean Penn over there?"

I don't mind the partisan muckraking, but to suggest bodily harm to any political official or anyone for that matter, is just plain wrong. When will News Corp.'s leadership do something about the outrageous behavior of Glenn Beck? Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes will only act when they are pressured to do so. Remember the gorilla cartoon that appeared in the New York Post? Well, Murdoch didn't issue a statement until it started to get really hot at News Corp. due to the fallout. The same thing needs to happen with Glenn Beck. This is ridiculous. For the record, if this was said by a Democrat against a Republican, I would have the same position -- it is just plain wrong.
