NEW YORK – Fox News Channel commentator Glenn Beck said he believes President Barack Obama is a racist. Beck made the statement during a guest appearance Tuesday on the "Fox & Friends" morning show. He said Obama has exposed himself as a person with "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."

His remarks came during a discussion of Obama's reaction to the arrest of Harvard University scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. Gates is black and was arrested for disorderly conduct by a white policeman over a misunderstanding about a break-in at Gates' home.

An Obama spokesman, William Burton, said the White House had no comment on Beck.

Beck's statement was challenged on the air by Fox host Brian Kilmeade, who noted that most of the people who work for the nation's first black president are white.

"I'm not saying he doesn't like white people," Beck said. "He has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist."

1. In other news, Elizabeth Taylor believes Jennifer Lopez has had too many marriages

n/t

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

13. That's pretty funny.

:-)

[rurallib]

2. Well a responsible company would fire his ass on the spot.

But he works for FUX, one of the most unscrupulous companies ever.

[tocqueville]

3. this is not freedom of speech, it's slander nt

[npk]

4. Beck can't even make it into prime time on FAUX, AHAHAHAHAHA

Poor little Beck. He screams and screams and yet nobody except five people in West Virginia are listening (no offense West Virginia). I mean he can't even get a prime time slot on the channel. What a real loser.

[Bozita]

5. The Detroit Free Press is carrying the AP article on its webpage. The comments are ...

... unfuckingbelievable!

Look below the article:
http://www.freep.com/article/20090728/NEWS15/90728076/Fox-s-Beck--President-Obama-is-a-racist

[jmondine]

6. Considering that Obama's half-white, does that mean he discriminates against himself?

[Raschel]

7. His closest advisors are White. His MOM is White. Beck would be pooping in his pants if

the President's cabinet was mostly Black AS COMPARED to how disproportionate it is when there is a White president.

What is the deal? Why oh why are some people so afraid of the Black man?

[Alcibiades]

18. Because the most important racism in the US

has been that of blacks against whites.

:sarcasm:

It's all about their projection of their own hatred onto others. Beck knows he is racist, so he projects it onto the President, and probably most other people of color as well.

[saigon68]

44. Beck is a Racist

[DrZeeLit]

8. The Dixie Chicks said a lot less about Bush, and the GOP sponsored CD burnings

So now it's OK to disrespect a President?
Because he's not the GOP's presidentn? Oh, I see.

Well, I'm glad Democrats aren't into book burning protests, 'cuz we could light up the sky with that scumbag Beck's lousy book.
In fact, I'm surprised anyone who actually bought a copy hasn't burned it already in the privacy of their own home.

[blueclown]

9. *Sigh*

Why is the mainstream <corporate> media giving a moron like Glenn Beck publicity?

Why is the corporate media completely in the tank for the Repukes?

[madmax]

31. Really, if I wanted to listen to bullshit

I'd tune into Faux News. CNN and MSNBC now have to shove it in my face.

[silver10]

10. This clown will say anything for attention

When you are that plain and average and stupid, I guess that's the first thing that probably comes to mind about the situation. plus the idiot does work for lies like a FOX Network. He has to periodically pay his dues (spread the propaganda manure).

[edbermac]

11. "Obama says he believes Fox's Glenn Beck is a loudmouthed asshole."

Film at 11.

[Kool Kitty]

16. I whole-heartedly agree with the President.

[Big Orange Jeff]

12. He can't even go 90 seconds without contradicting himself...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80eiOvE6YoI

At the 19 second mark:
"This president, I think, has exposed himself as a guy - over, and over, and over again - who has a deep-seated hatred for white people..."

Followed by, at the 1:45 mark:
"I'm not saying he doesn't like white people..."


Someone needs to interview him and use this as a bear trap.

[Blandocyte]

14. Tennessee's Blandocyte says he believes Glenn Beck is an ass

Thank you. Thank you very much.

[6000eliot]

15. Are these fucks going to be held accountable for stirring up all this racial hatred?

When and by whom?

[libodem]

17. Project much?

Guano-boy.

[Startup]

19. Stare into his eyes.

If MST3000 did TV News programs the first episode would be Beck's show.

[Joe Bacon]

20. Sooner or later Beck is going to do this on live TV

[winyanstaz]

21. sorry...I held the button too long :P

and I don't know how to delete a double post yet...:S

[winyanstaz]

22. umm let me get this straight...Glen Beck, a racist...says Obama is a racist...

So Obama hates his white momma and his white grandma and white grandpa and all his other white cousins..... umm dang.
Glen Beck on the other hand has at least one friend that is black and....umm well dang.

[AlbertCat]

23. Are black republicans listening?

[Kablooie]

24. It's the toilet telling the kettle that he's full of shit.

[BreweryYardRat]

25. There's a quote I picked up on here that really suits a lot of situations, including this one.

"The right wing ALWAYS projects reflection."

[Piewhacket]

26. DU's Piewhacket thinks Glen Beck is a demented little peckerhead. Put THATon AP, me bucco.

[BumRushDaShow]

27. BREAKING: Glen Beck yells at cloud

Why did AP even bother reporting this crap other than to manufacture a smear and insinuate something beyond the idiocy that this was? Is Faux Snooze in that much denial of the fact that Barack came out of the body of a white woman and was raised by her white family? She didn't adopt him. She gave birth to him and her genetic material flows through him.

But then among the real white racists like Beck, Stanley Ann was "tainted" and "demoted" to being "black". :eyes:

[RedCloud]

28. No blacks, whites, yellows or reds. We are all some shade of brown.

From pale brown to dark brown.

[Vinca]

29. When taking right wing nutjobs as a whole, Beck's statement was pretty tame.

The real question is why he's actually getting some attention from the MSM when far worse things have been said about the POTUS, including physical threats. A week is spent, almost 24/7, over Obama calling the actions of a cop stupid. Wait and see. The Beck story won't last beyond Rachel's show tonight.

[VaYallaDawg]

30. Pretty clear case of what too much booze can do to your brain. n/t

[dorkulon]

32. "...has a deep-seated hatred for white people... I'm not saying he doesn't like white people." HUH?

That makes sense. No, wait...

[JackDragna]

33. Projection at its worst.

It was inevitable, I suppose. I heard Republicans claiming long before the election that Obama was going to throw whites into prison were he elected. It's the old Republican strategy of accusing your political opponents of your own faults.

[sarcasmo]

34. Pot meet Kettle.

[daleo]

35. I think this will just further marginalize the right

They are trying to reinforce an "otherness" meme about Obama. It is a very cynical and depressing tactic. It shows how desperate they are.

[NoodleyAppendage]

36. Glenn Beck giving Mormons a good name. Instead of media disowning him, how about the LDS church?

Beck, I guess is tacticly being endorsed by the LDS church for his racist views and general NUT BAG BULLSHIT?

J

[fascisthunter]

37. Glenn Beck the Racist Calls Obama a Racist

[sunnybrook]

38. They are on message

This could easily be a coordinated rw strategy to keep talking about race as a distraction. Don't get me wrong, we need to face and deal with race in this country. But I think it is to the advantage of the right to dominate the news cycle with reminders that we have a black president, to stir up the racial animosity that is always just lurking beneath the surface in this country to totally change the subject from health care and all of the other priorities of this administration. The news media is stupid enough to dive right in. Here we go.

[KamaAina]

39. Just cut out "says he believes Obama"

and you've got it. :P

[ismnotwasm]

40. Oh, projection much, asshole?

Fire that motherfucker. What a poisonous piece of shit.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

41. In other news:

Beck also believes shoes are made by elves, after they finish baking cookies.

[chrisa]

42. Beck is a fake.

And his show on Fox News is unintentionally laugh-out-loud hillarious. He's like a bad Rush Limbaugh parody. I wouldn't be surprised if it was revealed that Glenn Beck actually has no interest in politics, and is either a satirist for Talk Radio personalities, or is acting to bring in the money (more likely).

[SoxFan]

43. Obama has hate in his eyes

[No Elephants]

45. Fox is full of crap, trying to have it both ways. Fox does not give "freedom" to show hosts to

"express their opinions," or Fox would have more Democratic show hosts. And Fox is not the government. Therefore it has no obligation to give anyone "freedom." Nor does it. Fox wants the ratings and profits that hate generates, but without taking responsiblity for it.

We should all let Fox know we see through its lame disclaimer. If he's your show host, you're stuck with him and his views, unless and until you fire him. You cannot have it both ways.

According to FOX, it loves to hear from us, so here's your chance to make Fox happy. Ejai at: [e-mail]

Anyone know who his sposors are?

[CBHagman]

47. Crooks and Liars had this list

Mind you, it's from months back, so I'd check.

49. We ALL think that.... we all think he's an idiot, and a fascist pig and

and he looks like a pig, too.

This is NOT breaking news, but more of a universal truth.

[kestrel91316]

50. Does the RW have ony tactics OTHER THAN projection. Because it

seems sometimes like that is literally all they do, 24/7. Project, project, project.

52. Isn't there some legal way to shut FUX down?

The slander, the misrepresentation of facts and outright lies, and the efforts to incite violence are beyond the beyond.

[deep1]

55. What a moron

It's interesting whenever these conservatives call someone a racist (and it's never their own), they themselves are the ones that are racist.

Glenn Beck is the true racist. How can a man be racist when he is half white and was raised by whites?

Another stupid fat dumb ass Republican spewing useless bullshit. They play the race card too much.

[FirstAmerican]

56. What a leap

Exactly, to think that Obama attended Jeremiah Wright.s church for twenty years where he listened to Wright denounce jews and whitey and then Beck has the audacity to call him a racist. Thats crazy, I mean if had been in Hitler's third reich and hung out with him for twenty years that wouldn't make me a nazi would it?

[ShamelessHussy]
