Glenn Beck has taken a lot of heat, even among people who don’t like Trump, for suggesting that tea partiers who are supporting Trump are racist. Having read what Beck said, I have to say that he is exactly right, although really the point he was making wasn’t about racism at all..............
.......What Glenn Beck is essentially saying is that the tea partiers who support Trump are exactly like hockey fans in that way. They claimed all this time to hate Obama for what he did, not who he was. And yet, here comes along a guy who supports all those same things, and the tea partiers are cheering wildly:
[Meat of article]
....Say what you want about Glenn Beck, but he is almost alone among the prominent national radio and TV voices on the right who has refused to attempt to monetize the Trump boom by treating it as a legitimate expression of conservatism. Glenn Beck’s point is not that Trump supporters are racist; rather, Glenn Beck’s point is that his supporters are doing it for reasons that have nothing to do with what Trump stands for. And he is attempting to get people to look in the mirror and realize what the basis of their support really is.
For the people who were Obama supporters who have become disillusioned with Obama and have gone over to Trump, at least they are consistent. But for the people who protested and stood in the streets and made signs that expressed their disgust with Obama and who are now supporting Trump, they are deceiving themselves if they think that they are anything other than a sports fan who has transferred their rooting habits to a political movement instead of a team.
And when it comes to that Glenn Beck is exactly right.

Consider the source. Erik is still flailing.
Try reading it. Or is it too hard to look at?
that’s not even readable...
The format is easy and clear.
I know Glenn is a Cruz fan. I listen to him. I don’t agree with everything he says, but he definitely has his own style. Many things he says are taken out of context.
Anyone playing the “get drunk” game, by using Trump lies during the debate, certainly got hammered.
I want to know how Glen Beck knows that it is Tea Party folks supporting The Donald and not just everyday folks.
What is the makeup? Are the registered is someway as Tea Party?
I am not a goose stepping Trump supporter,just was wondering how he came up with this. May have to drop a line to him and find out.
Coulter - “charming” as always.
We’ve got a few FReepers in her camp as well.

There certainly are “tea party” Americans who don’t support Trump.
Wolf’s points (in his own article linked above) are descriptive of supporters of Trump.
no matter what the situation is now with all the nominees how about we both vote for the candidate we want to in the primary of our own state and then agree to vote for the Republican nominee whomever that might be a year from November in the general election?.. a no-brainer right?
Seriously CW......Glenn Beck is right???????
Desperation
Complete and utter BS. The two are not mutually exclusive. I abhor Obama for both reasons. Wolf himself does not understand the TEA party.
Ann Coulter has finally become a Trending topic on twitter.
Trump is still better than “lazy eye”
You need a different hobby.
blacks have become the worst racists
how come Beck doesn’t excoriate them?
