I would have expected them to be more interested in the Mideast at this time.

Well Operation Libya is still underway, but a quick DDoSing of the website owned by the people who bought the 2010 elections only seems fair.

In other news though...

People of America we have heard your cries against the hate mongering and violent rhetoric of Glenn Beck and we stand with you.

No longer will we tolerate his incessant conspiracy theories intended only to incite hate and violence in the uneducated. No longer will we sit idly by while he promotes racism, bigotry and xenophobia. No more will we be silent while he fends for the RichFags under the disguise of patriotism while pandering his books and the wares of his advertisers.

Take heed Glenn Beck, if you do not immediately cease and desist your hate and fear mongering your broadcasts, websites and advertisers are in jeopardy. You must immediately broadcast a full appology to all the people you have attacked and offended. You must immediately end your hate rhetoric and fear mongering and use your position of power only to promote unity and peaceful resolutions from henceforth. The choice is yours.

People of America you can help Glenn Beck to see the error of his ways by refusing to acknowledge his broadcasts and boycotting his adverisers, websites and books in a very public manner.



Anonymous is an advoate of freedom of speech, but with that freedom comes great responsibility especially for those in a position of power like Glenn Beck that can use their speech to incite hate and violence. Therefore, we will no longer tolerate his incivility, lack of restraint and moralfaggetry.

Beck is a symptom.

I don't think Anonymous are capable of treating this disease so they might as well deal with symptoms.

The problem is that Anonymous, by this method, will probably make them just as infamous as various ... obscure... societies (such as the Freemasonry). Even more so because they actually did something to make him and his supporters angry.

Yes, because mob-rule vigilantism is something to be encouraged.  :rolleyes:

Actually that announcement makes me think this came from one of the less polished Anonymous franchises.

I dunno, this group is pushing it a bit far for Anonymous as a whole.

Beck is a symptom.

Suppressants are viable drugs.
