We, the leadership of major scholarly associations, express our collective outrage at the recent, repeated attacks on Professor Frances Fox Piven. These attacks have been based on rhetoric, rather than substance, and have incited threats of violence, rather than encouraging open debate. Radio and television personality Glenn Beck has accused Professor Piven of creating a plan to "intentionally collapse our economic system," as reported by The New York Times; and he has included her in a list of the nine "most dangerous people" in the world. While Mr. Beck has not directly called for violence against Professor Piven, his attacks have created a space for threats of violence to emerge. Over the past several months, Professor Piven has received a flood of hate mail and menacing internet postings, including death threats. The Center for Constitutional Rights has identified many violent posts by visitors to Mr. Beck's website, including the following: "I am all for violence and change Frances: Where do your loved ones live?" The rhetoric has become sufficiently overheated that the potential for physical violence is real.

I'm pretty sure Glenn Beck is a fan. He sure loves the sound of his own voice.

I like Beck (and crew) much better than Maddow (and crew).

I have only listened to his show when going out to get lunch - same for Rush D*ldo - I just wanted to hear what they were going on about. I thought he and his cronies could be funny, even decent human beings at times, but the overall vibe to me was they were about the commercials and keeping their listener base well fed... so they could keep themselves well fed. Totally not surprising.

You consider Yale Divinity School to not be higher education than High School?
I guess I shouldn't be surprised by your lack of comprehension.
