Schultz slams Beck for pointing at President Obama during gun segment; Glenn’s GOP guest list for Jerusalem rally debunked

div class="yn-story-content">

Ed Schultz has been back from his suspension for insulting Laura Ingraham for a little more than a week now, and the MSNBC host has returned to Fox attack mode--.

"Glenn Beck has less than three weeks left to spew his nonsense on Fox News," Schultz . "But last night things went way too far."

Schultz took issue how Beck pointed to Obama while encouraging viewers to buy a gun before the president's plan to propose a national gun registry gains traction.

"This will do nothing but make it harder for you to get a gun. Why would you get a gun?" Beck asked, motioning to an image of Obama. "To prepare for tough times. That's why.""Pointing to a photograph of the President of the United States after asking 'Why would you get a gun?' is absolutely unacceptable," Schultz said. "And being a first-class idiot."

The segment reignited the issue that surfaced in the wake of Gabrielle Giffords' shooting: cable news' use of violent rhetoric and gun imagery. By now, Schultz said, "Beck should know better than to peddle that kind of violent rhetoric."

In other Glenn Beck news, an impressive lineup of GOP hopefuls attending "Restoring Courage," the rally Beck is planning in Jerusalem later this summer, was .

But the report--which had Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann and Newt Gingrich at the Aug. 24 event--was quickly debunked, as several of the 2012 candidates and GOP counterparts released statements denying they would be there, and the Beck camp denying they were ever asked.

"There have been some inaccuracies about the event," a spokesman for the event told The Cutline. "No one on the list has been contacted or asked to appear."
