Conservative talk show host Glenn Beck has had it up to here with Donald Trump, even going as far as to accuse his supporters of latent racism. Beck, who hasnt been shy in his opposition to the Republican frontrunner, said Tuesday that any Tea Partiers who jumped on the Trump bandwagon were probably not genuine in their beliefs.
The medias making this look like Tea Party people, Beck said, noting the press coverage of Trumps enormous rally in Dallas. I dont think these are Tea Party people who are following him. Some of them may be, but if you were a Tea Party person, then you were lying. You were lying. It was about Barack Obama being black. It was about him being a Democrat, because this guy is offering you many of the same things, as shallow as the same way.
Beck said he didnt understand what his friends Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin were thinking when they defended Trump.
He concluded by saying, This guy is just a TV star. Thats whats happening. Hes a TV star, and people just want to win, and theyll take anyone.
Though his remarks on the integrity of Tea Partiers who support Trump are offensive and ignorant, Beck is closer to home on this final analysis. It might be a stretch to say that Republicans will take anyone, but its definitely true that the Tea Party is ready for a win. A movement built out of outrage against the establishment must either grow or die. At some point, it gets tiresome to simply point out the same old things year after year. Ho hum, another Republican Congress fails to stand up to the Obama agenda. Ho hum, another boring establishment candidate loses to a failing president.
No one is fooled by Donald Trump. This guys on television around the clock, and you cant watch ten minutes of punditry without being reminded of his liberal positions through the years. Voters arent blind. They see what the deal is. But what are the alternatives? Jeb friggin Bush? The guy who sounds just like Obama on a number of important issues facing the country? Rubio, his padawan? Chris Christie? Come on.
Beck endorses Ben Carson for the conservative voter looking for an outsider, and thats all well and good. Carsons poll numbers speak for themselves, and he may overtake Trump as the primaries continue. Its not hard to imagine Carson who in his delivery is the anti-Trump siphoning votes from the brash frontrunner. Of course, that would be very difficult to imagine if Trumps voter base really was made up of racists who opposed Obama because he was black.
In veering down this strange path, Beck sounds more like a liberal than ever. Thats their job, pretending like every Tea Partier is a closet racist. He should be ashamed of himself for playing that game, even if he doesnt care to get on board the Trump Express.
Is that a young Glenn Beck next to a young Donald Trump in that pic? ehehehhe
Beck Jumped the Shark many years ago.
Beck needs a regimen of anti dementia medication, like Paxil...
Dang we have a bunch of wack jobs moving to Texas.
First there were some Muzzies, then Beck and now more Muzzies
When will it stop?
After Beck dies, I am going to baptize him a muslim.
He went there. Maybe because he wasn’t thinking, maybe for ratings. Whatever the reason, it is unacceptable.
Totally lost any respect for Beck because of this.
Also, we need to come up with an adage similar to Godwin’s Law (if a discussion goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler or Nazism), but instead related to being called a racist. Because sooner or later, every liberal uses the cry of “RACIST!” to try to discredit conservatism.
Well said. I simply cannot listen to him anymore, not even to laugh at him. His interminable, mind-numbing tangents make it impossible to see what the hell he is getting at. His verbosity only exceeds his ignorance. Beck needs a break, a very long break
White racist devils, blah, blah, blah.
He needs to be on meds/off meds, on hormones/off hormones, attending AA or something.
I gave up paying any attention to him a very long time ago as I realized he is a true KOOK but sorry to see him still out there leading his "followers" down the wonderland rabbit hole!
I miss Jeffy. He should ditch the losers and have his own show.
Let’s see ...
I am married to a Peruvian, going past 13 years ...
I have Peruvian-Dominican nieces and nephews ...
I lived 12 years in a Puerto Rican neighborhood, having many good friends - some very close and dear - including one couple whom were our Best Man and Maid of Honor ...
But, hey, according to Beck, I’m a racist against Hispanics because I oppose illegal immigration and anchor babies. Yeah, OK.
News Flash for you, Glenn ... All of my Hispanic friends share my disgust. I guess they are self loathing racists!
Need a website devoted to this clowns mistakes. I love watching him self-destruct.
How do we get Glenn to get off Trump’s case? Throw him a frisbee? Dang.
He was on Obama and then it stopped (probably after the tax audit started.lol)
I continue to be disappointed that so many self described conservatives see a need to attack anyone who tells the truth. It is also obvious that they see their purpose as doing the dirty work for the MSM and the Democrats by attacking those patriotic Americans who love this country.
So Beck has lowered himself into using the race card. He will find a lot of company with his fellow travelers.
Same as Beck did against Newt in 2012. If you support those who paint in bold colors instead of pale pastels, you’re a racist.

Beck and his followers need to move to Guyana as soon as possible. Build a town and call it Becktown!
LOL
Now that there is funny!
Glenn Beck, in his written and vocal insinuations of racism leveled at The Tea Party, which Glenn Beck was all up and about, in it’s infancy, has just gone and copulated with the canine.
Finding himself becoming less, and anything else becoming more, he has been reaching for straws to remain in the public’s ears and eyes. His gatherings are not drawing the crowds.
No, Glenn Beck, it is not racism. It is pure unadulterated Americanism, tempered by a hatred of anything liberal/Socialist/Communist, and ungodly.
If that offends your milque-toasty Romney-supporting tukas, go sit on your thumb.
