Short Takes<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

From TPM<\/a>: <\/font>In audio interviews obtained by MediaMatters, accused shooter Byron Williams says Fox News host Glenn Beck "blew my mind" with "the things he exposed."<\/p>\n

Williams is charged with allegedly opening fire on police on Interstate 580 in Oakland, California, while on his way to "start a revolution" by attacking members of the ACLU and the Tides Foundation.<\/p>\n

How many more people need to be hurt or killed before this Republican is taken off the air?<\/font><\/p>\n

From Crooks and Liars<\/a>: <\/font>David Gregory once again bows to his corporate masters and right-wing political bent when he asks candidates Mark Kirk and Alexi Giannoulias whether they would reduce the deficit by cutting "runaway programs" like Medicare and Social Security<\/strong>. Over and over again we hear this lie about how Social Security and Medicare are bankrupting the country, despite the fact — FACT — that Social Security is fully funded through 2037 and Medicare spending will begin to drop as the waste is squeezed out of it via the Affordable Care Act. [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n

This is what Republicans call the liberal press<\/em>.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Media Matters<\/a>: <\/font>Glenn Beck went into new territory this morning, telling his audience that he felt that possible "toxins" and "poisons" affecting his health could be traced to his studies of progressives. After detailing several recent health ailments he has been experiencing, he suggested that the "poisons" his doctors are looking for are linked to his attempts to "understand the minds of" progressives, which he termed "drinking that poison which others may not find poison but I do because it is exact opposite of me".<\/p>\n

The toxins in Beck\u2019s system are Republican hatred and insaniTEA.<\/font><\/p>\n
