Chuck Todd and company at NBC News are outraged that conservative talker Beck won't --or can't-- be fired for calling President Obama a "racist." They blogged as follows:
*** On the Glenn Becks and Howard Beales: The White House doesn't want to give Glenn Beck a bigger platform or extra oxygen -- especially regarding his remark yesterday that the president has "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture" -- so they won't comment, even off record. Beck, after all, is a radio DJ who somehow ended up getting a national platform to give his opinion on politics. What's most amazing about this episode is that what Beck said isn't a fireable or even a SUSPENDABLE offense by his bosses. There was a time when outrageous rants like this would actually cost the ranters their jobs. But not anymore; if anything, it's now encouraged. And all of this could turn ACTUAL journalists into the next Howard Beales. It's getting nuts that the folks who are creating the perception of an ideological/polarized media world are people who have never really spent their lives being journalists. Whether it's former political consultants-turned-TV execs or former radio DJs, or former California socialites, the folks helping to accelerate the public's perception of the media off a cliff made their livings trying to do other things. Of course, Beck's crazy language could have one unintended consequence: It could cost him bookings with any Republicans who want to be popular outside Beck's hard-core bizarro-land viewers.
So much for the national discussion on race relations that leftists and journalists say America desperately needs.

The other day on his radio show I heard Glenn allude to death threats against his family...
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Now unless you are a whinny, pinhead liberal forget this old piece of paper.
the ratings would be off the charts. Throw in a couple of Bit@h Slaps for me.
Well, lets not forget Brit Hume. The guy that replaced him is okay, but I really miss Brit.
From Dreams of My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE” - Barack Hussein Obama
That’s the thanks to the mother who brought him in the world, and the grand-parents who fed him and paid for his education. Wihout his white part of the family, he would raise chickens in a shed in Kenya.
The most racist statement I ever heard from this ungrateful rogue.
I want to apologize to you personally if you think I tried to hijack your thread (like some others think I did). I was only trying to let everyone know that Chuck Todd has no right to demand anything or claim to be an unbiased journalist since his wife is a DEMOCRATIC OPERATIVE.
Again, Sorry!

The Cambridge police department released the tapes of the 911 call and the officer communications to clear the “controversy” that they were racially motivated.
POTUS still REFUSES to release his long form birth certificate to silence the “nut jobs”.
The president is a nut job who wasn’t silenced until EVIDENCE was released to disprove the wild claims of racism.
With the things they said about George Bush for eight years over on NBC, Beck calling Obama a racist is mild!.. plus it is true.
When NBC tries to defend the haters on MSNBC, they we know how twisted the MSM really is. Beck has facts on his side. Keith and Matthews always seem to have emotional conspiracies on their side. I will trust Glenn over anyone at an NBC outlet.
Are they going fire their people for calling the tea parties racist?
Are they going to fire their people for calling people protesting higher taxes racist?
Are they going to fire their people for calling people opposed to government run health care racist?
Are they going to fire their people for saying if you voted for McCain you are racist?
Are they going to fire their people for saying people opposed to bailouts on GM, AIG, Banks, etc racist?
Are they going to fire their people who claim that gun owners are racist hate groups?
Nope. None of those are race issues but we get called racist for them.
They wanna fire people for calling others racist they need to start cleaning out their own house first.
Glenn Beck is the first one on the news that has ever talked about this (on yesterday’s show):
Barack Obama and the Strategy of Managed Crisis

Pot, meet kettle.
Bump!!
Blood shooting out of the eyes! Can’t wait!
Glenn and Sarah will each have their own Bambi bobblehead dashboard doll.
“Letterman is CBS”
Yes ... and I corrected myself immediately. Carry on, then ....
Jealousy is a bitter, bitter thing, and NBC is not peacock colored anymore, just GREEN!!! And I don’t mean in a global warming preventing way, either, LOL.
Evidently these people do not know how to debate, and can’t back up their side with logical arguments...it’s easier to implement the “politics of personal destruction”. What they have used against Palin and Bush for years. Maybe English is their second language, and the first “mediocrity” in media.
It’s like the “blue dog democrats going back to being yellow”....just can’t hold the line and debate to win...caving in only shows no backbone. I find Pelosi, Reid, and Frank incompetent...it only takes about 2 minutes to know these people couldn’t hold a real job...politics of deception is all they know.
Has the head of CNN resigned for issuing a false report about Obama’s Birth Certificate last Friday?
