In a sick display of "humor," Glenn Beck joked about adding poison to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's glass of wine on his Fox show. Beck is a Mormon and claims to follow Jesus Christ.

As the Fox News host 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."

There should be a level of respect for the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives. She is third in line to the presidency and a human being. People who are in the public eye like Mr. Beck and represent a constituency whether it is liberal or conservation have the power to influence how others chose to express their views. There is enough violence that is real. We don't need someone acting out a murder as a solution for resolving political differences.

I do not like Beck or his friends but level of respect goes both ways. When the speaker Pelosi stops her lies and political graft then maybe she will deserve respect.

Beck is not a journalist. He is an "entertainer"/"commentator".

Tikun- You do not like Beck, you LOVE him. For you to forgive Beck's murder pelosi fantasy skit because you disagree with Pelosi shows how sick, and how like Al Qaeda you really are. Any REAL human being would be utterly disgusted by Beck's invitation to murder Pelosi, but not you. A politician lied? You don't say? Did you threaten Bush's life after Bush lied the USA into a multi-TRILLION dollar war murdering tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis and thousands of US servicemen? Of course not, you love the lies of Bush and the TRILLIONS of dollars and the TENS OF THOUSANDS of lives Bush's lies cost, because you are a neocon wannabe terrorist. Beck should be charged and imprisoned for life for threatening the US Speaker of the House. Pelosi's lies have not cost even billions or cost any lives, but Bushs did, and you so obviously love Bush its sickening. I bet you also love Anne Coulters beat liberals with a baseball bat "jokes" as well.
