Express-Times ^ | 9/2/09 | Douglas B. Brill

The Easton, PA branch of the NAACP has asked the State Theatre to cancel an appearance from Glenn Beck, a conservative TV and radio personality who called President Barack Obama racist.

NAACP Branch President Merrill Fennel asked the theater in a letter dated Aug. 24 to cancel Beck's January appearance.

The letter cites Beck's accusation that Obama, whose mother is white, has a "deep-seated hatred" for white people.

In a letter dated today, State Theatre President Shelley Brown said the theater won't cancel Beck's show.

Beck is scheduled to appear Jan. 9 at the State Theatre.

I thought that we as whiteys could not use black friends or relatives as "proof" that we are not racist. Why shouldn't the same standard be universally applied?

Plenty of time to schedule a new larger venue to hold the event. Maybe in another city.

If you scroll down the page of the newspaper, you’ll see many comments. This has caused a lot of controversy in the area.

"NAACP Branch President Merrill Fennel asked the theater in a letter dated Aug. 24 to cancel Beck's January appearance. "

Like Saul Alinsky always said, hate and anger are strong motivators.

The Left's definition of "hate" is anything they don't want to hear.

As if having a white mother means you can't hate white people.

Ironically, it was probably his white mother who taught him to hate white people.

Yes, Obama is a racist. We all are to some extent but he is a bitter man out to teach us a lesson.

Shelley is a frequent guest on Gunther’s show on WAEB in the morning. Wish Gunther had a wider audience - he’s tremendous.

It appears as though the useful idiots down at the NAALCP do not believe in First Amendment rights.

The NAACP is the biggest racist organization in this nation. They dwarf any white organization by far. Their agenda is to dominate this country with their leftist views. They are for giveaway programs that never end. They are truly a hate group practicing hate speech. They will demand reparations.
