Beck and 'thinking about killing Michael Moore'

Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly bring out the crazies, just ask Michael Moore

LA Times

Michael Moore, now doing a press tour in support of his new movie, “Capitalism: A Love Story,” disclosed at a press conference recently that he's hired a personal security detail to handle the “craziness” that Fox News hosts Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly have sicced on him.

“[Beck] said, ‘I think I’m capable of actually killing Michael Moore.’ O’Reilly said he’s generally against the death penalty unless it applies to Michael Moore. . . . That’s why I have to travel with security,” Moore said.

“I have to put up with craziness that they stir up with that kind of talk. You wouldn’t want to have my life at this point," he said.

In 2005 Beck mused on his radio show that he was “thinking about killing Michael Moore.”

He wondered aloud if "I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it," before concluding: "No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out – is this wrong?"

I think so. Anyone else care to comment?
