Syndicated talk show host Glenn Beck is clearly a nut, who may be better at using the Rush Limbaugh playbook than the master himself. Take a look at this VIDEO during which Beck calls President Obama a racist but uses nothing to back it up.
To say that Obama, a man reared by his white mother and her white family in predominately white or multi-ethnic environs, is a racist, and not give proof of that--- boggles the mind...
But the problem here may not be Beck’s assertion, but the fact that he’s a part of the same angry fringe knot as the "Birthers," who steadfastly deny that Obama was born in this country. They have been causing such a rancid stink lately that the House of Representatives on Tuesday included in a resolution celebrating the 50th anniversary of Hawaii’s statehood, a statement of the obvious: “The 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii.”
There’s nothing Obama can do that would appease any of these people.
[Snip]
So it's not that the Becks and Birthers of the country don’t have an opportunity to see things fairly or in a more nuanced way. It’s that they choose to keep the blinders on. Or maybe, at least in Beck's case, it's less about the blinders and more about simply making a buck.
So, are discussions about race better served by ignoring folk like Beck and the Birthers or exposing them?
You tell me.

Axelrod still using his former Trib cronies?
Lets keep it hot for O’Reily. I am furious how he made fun of Glenn last night.
O’r. throws a bone to the consevatives then one to liberals.
That is what we have had for years, they will not go all the way.
GLENN DOES...He hangs in there with us. God protect Glenn and family.
PS would O”Reily show me the proof he is the all time leader of talk cable.
>I am surprise Obama worshipers do not want to know which hospital Obama was born or who was the doctor who delivered him.<
Me too.
That would be a vital part of a pilgrimage tour.
Let’s see, Beck mentioned a 20 year association, as does BO in his book, with the racial moderate Rev. Wright and black liberation theology which has as a primary tenet, that racism in this country can not be eliminated until we end capitalism and move towards “democratic socialism”. All whites in the inner circle are either marxists or white guilt liberals who donate money(Penny Pritzker in Chicago), Ayers and Dohrn, some of BO’s Cabine/Czar appointments. He attacks previous American history and can’t even buy into American exceptionalism as a positive force for us and throughout the world. Other than those who fed and clothed him, his grandparents and occassionaly his mother, his entire writings are Afro-centric, as our every hero and mentor, except the aforementioned radical whites,who buy into his belief system, such as it is.
No, you unnamed coward, you refuse to the see plain evidence put right in front of your dumbass face.
More spin.
There are a group of people who can differentiate between hard evidence and hot air.
While the birth certificate is hard evidence, all the announcements, resolutions and political opinions are hot air.
There is another group of people who realize the distinction between a native born citizen and a natural born one. Sadly, this group is smaller because it takes an appreciation and study of the Constitution and it's supporting Law.

Personally, I don't care what all the talking heads think OR say.
Zero himself admitted he had no natural born status due to his OWN public statements and publications.
End of story.
Yeah, a lot of people around FR are spreading the “nothing will satisfy the conspiracy freaks” meme.
Wish I had a clue what to do about the lying sax o’crap that call themselves journalists. Writing their advertisers and sponsors is like spitting in the ocean.
He was a bad alcoholic, but the effect is pretty similar. He said his life hit rock bottom and was to the point of contemplating suicide.
This ‘AP Story” is a fake... please don’t send it, and stop posting it.
You’ve been HAD!
World agenda...always think world agenda.
I think his real name is Barry Urkel Obama.
“There’s nothing Obama can do that would appease any of these people. “

He could resign...
Neal Boortz is bashing Beck this morning, due to Beck’s calling the Big Ø a racist.
(Boortz isn’t actually mentioning Beck’s name. But it’s clear who he’s talking about.)
A racist can dish it out but they can’t take it.
Soooooooooooooo,,,I ask this, why are so many of our “good guys” suddenly supporting the Zero?
