Default Fox News d-bag calls Obama a Racist

Glenn Beck hahaha. How on earth did he ever have a show on CNN. Ratings must be tanking and he needed a boost for his show. Just looking into his eyes didn't do it for most people.

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.”

I wonder if Obama can sue Glenn Beck and Fox news for slander?

Fox News... the tv equivalent of The National Inquirer.

Fox news is becoming more and more a joke in most people's minds. They are "jumping the shark" by trying to be radically offensive and get as many youtube hits as possible. They will soon be the Weekly World of TV news.

He says it to get the ratings.

But, when Obama goes and sticks his foot into his mouth like he did a week ago with the Gates incident, it leads to this.

Beck must have missed Obama's apology and inviting both to the Whitehouse for beers.

Captain Many Speeches should have gotten the facts before he commented. He basically called the cop a racist. And unless the cop (white) and 3 other cops (1 white, 1 hispanic, and 1 black) are all racists than Mr Obama made an error in judgement and whats worse is that he didnt apologize.

Beck is an a$$ sometimes, but the liberal media channels have been giving Captain Many Speeches a free ride on this when if it was a white republican, he would be getting roasted.

Huh?

Here is what was said (probably also in the other thread which I am not following)

I also continue to believe, based on what I've heard, that professor Gates overreacted as well.

^^^^^ That's the difference. A republican president would never admit to a mistake, let alone apologize for it. Beck and Fox News are still stinging from the defeat and grasping at straws.

Oh please.

Politicians are all the same.

Then again....I didn't see him say 'sorry' for calling the cops stupid.

So screw you Obama.

I'm guilty of looking at things threw rose colored glasses. I'm still in "anything's better than Bush" mode.

If you're going to split hairs in that way, you also have to conclude that he never called Officer Crowley "stupid"--and certainly never called him a racist, as mykalberta claims.

He said that arresting Gates was stupid. And as it turns out, the preponderance of legal opinion is that he was right about that. However, there's a whole other thread about that.

This one is about how bat**** crazy Glenn Beck is. And... he really is. That is a man who needs some professional help.

You're going to see Republican Congress in 1-1/2 years.

Back in 2001 and 2002 many were saying the same thing about never seeing a Democratic president again. These things are cyclical. What usually happens is that over time a government/party that has been in power too long tends to be the author of their own demise by becoming the very thing they protested against to get into power in the first place. Trust me there will be a day when the dems go too far for the American people and they'll elect enough Republicans.
