Loading...Glenn Beck Takes Racism Prime Time
Here’s video of Glenn Beck accusing the President of The United States of being a racist on Fox & Friends, Fox News’ prime time morning show:
“He has a deep seated hatred for white people, or white culture, I don’t know what it is…..this guy is, I believe, a racist.”
Beck also referred to Obama’s green job czar Van Jones as a “black nationalist” and an “avowed communist.” And who’s the racist?
Maddow’s coverage of the problematic relationship between the Republican Party, it’s pundits like Beck, Limbaugh (who used the term “oreo” today on the air), and Buchanan, and the open racism expressed by the “birther” movement has been excellent. The Republican Party continues to play with fire by not shutting down this inherently bigoted movement now. FireDogLake’s Mike Stark has been busy forcing Republican lawmakers to go on record on Obama’s citizenship and he got SENATOR Roy Blunt among others to publicly request that President Obama provide his birth certificate saying: “What I don’t know is why the President can’t produce a birth certificate? I don’t know anyone else who can’t produce a birth certificate.”
Of course, President Obama’s U.S. citizenship hasn’t been in question among non-conspiracy theorists or Republican law makers since 2008 when FactCheck.org verified it in an effort to stop the ugly rumors during the election.
Maddow has had Princeton political science professor Melissa Harris-Lacewell on her show repeatedly over the past few weeks to speak on what seems to be a Republican Party strategy, tapping onto the rage of white Americans.

+ add your ownIt's mind-boggling to hear the sort of hatred that comes from faux news
Every word that comes out of an Americans' mouth should be free of regulation by the government. ...Glenn Beck is a jerk...
Well Barbara......I live in America & am an American & I have every right to express my opinion just like you do!!!!! And, you do not have the right to tell me what I should or should not say to agree with you.
As for Obama........He will be destroyed by his own.
My free speech comment.

Hanged [Kentucky] Census worker had 'fed' on chest
He was hung on September 12.
I wonder what Rep. Michelle "I'm refusing to fill out the census" Bachman (R-MN) thinks about this hanging?
This comes after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed worry that something terrible would come from the right-wing rhetoric and frenzy of the tea baggers...and the republicans laughed at her.
What has this got to do with Glenn Beck, the Tea Baggers and the frenzy of lies?
Everything. This is where the right-wing talking heads are leading the village idiots to violence and murder.
There are nuts like him all over, but only in the US are they given the opportunity to vent their idiotic views. I'd guess they would be more careful about what they sey if they were concerned about image with the vast majority of our citizenry, instead of continuing to pump up the right wingers and fascits in our society.
I hold atrue fear that the Becks, Limbaughs, Hannitys & Dobbs of our media are going to incite some extremist nut to make an assassination attempt on Pres. Obama! And I strongly urge all to write to the various sponsors of said shows and pledge to boycott them, if they don't drop their sponsorships.
This poll seems to make the point we all new from the beginning. Glenn Beck and the boys at Fox are the front line of attack on everything that comes out of the White House.
They want to destroy Obama and will do anything to succeed. They will use their voices to cause violence, as long as it stops any kind of progress that is intended to take anything away from the ones at the top of the food chain.
The boys at Fox know that they will be protected against any attempt to stop them from spewing slander and out right lies. The same protection given to Olly North after he committed treason and then kept his mouth shut and now he has his own show on Fox.
The sad thing is that there so many who would listen and believe what they hear. They use fear and hate to stir the pot of those who only believe what they are told to believe.
I believe that they boys at Fox and the Republican party will stop at nothing to destroy the democratic party. They will attempt to stop any legislation that is intended to stop the rich from picking our pockets. They have been doing it for so long that they believe that they are entitled to what they have stolen from "We the People"
Freedom of speech? Glen Beck has the right to speak foul lies and garbage all he wants, and the people of this country who ARE in possession of any basic morality and good taste have the right to tell companies who fund Beck's lies and garbage that we will not buy their products if they continue to so.
Well, they pulled another lack of freedom of speech, We are in the U.S.A.?
And now Verizon pulled their sponsorship as well... You see? We can make a difference!
