A conservative television and radio host who called President Barack Obama a racist will be performing at the State Theatre in Easton, despite an NAACP request the event be canceled.
Merrill Fennell, president of the NAACP's Easton, PA branch, made the request in an Aug. 24 letter. He cited Glenn Beck's penchant for race baiting.

Wonder if he’ll do a show at the Apollo?
Judging from the comments, most think Beck actually did call BO a “racist”. Which he did not.
“Glenn Beck remains on State Theatre schedule”
(from another local newspaper)

“In an Aug. 24 letter to the State Theatre, Fennell wrote that institutions that condone remarks like Beck’s are ‘permitting appeals to the same fears, insecurity and stereotypes that led to generations of discrimination against African-Americans.’
State Theatre President Shelley Brown responded Wednesday with a letter to Fennell, saying ‘discussions like this are very important’ but declining to cancel the Jan. 9 event.”

Uh-oh! Lafayette College, Crayola, Larry Holmes territory. Glenn, you don’t want to go there. Say you don’t.
Glenn performed at the State Theater in the past. There are a lot of frustrated conservatives around here.
Oh horrors. Beck called the loon a racist.
Hey MSM, ever think that perhaps Beck is right- as in correct?
He is.
"I don't have all the facts in the case but, I'd have to say they (CPD) acted stupidly."
No race-baiting there.
Reading the comments, there is something to remember: 0 does not have a dollop of “African-American” blood. His dad was completely African. His mother was completely white. Not one of his ancestors was a slave — at least in the Western Hemisphere — and probably a lot of his ancestors were slave owners/traders.
I think we have made great progress, evidenced by the fact that the Colored People are presenting their opinion about who should be able to speak and not speak. Now if we could just allow the all the citizens, both to uncolored and colored, to have the same influence......../s.
I think he has called O and some of his Cadre racisits.... I cannot remember on which show he did, but he is only telling the truth.. so the NAACP and their other racist orgs can take it and shove it...
Why does the scene with Jack Nicholson keep running through my head. “You want the truth? You can’t HANDLE the TRUTH!”
So what if he did? Garafalo can call literally millions of people racists and she gets a role on 24, which is only a small example of what happens in Hollywood. Van Jones calls the entire white population racists and he gets a job at the White House. The entire Democratic leadership either calls or insinuates that Republicans are racists and they get re-elected.
Well I for one believe that Obama is not a genuinely honest man. He has done everything wrong he has divided us, lied to us, put people of questionable characters in powerful decision making positions in our government, has criticized America, a Country that people die for trying get here, A country that feeds the world. He is a racist and until he proves to me he is not I will believe it, he is the person that put that thought in my mind long before Beck said he was.
If MSM are anyone else thinks Beck is spreading lies or rumors then step up to the plate and prove it.
The Son of Obama is both a racist and a fascist, period. At least the Italian Il Duce was honest about his liberal fascism.
