Right-wing talk show host Glenn Beck took 24 hours to consider the storm he sparked by branding President Obama a racist - then said it again. Beck took time out on his nationally syndicated radio show to defend his comments, made in connection with the arrest of black Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. by a white police officer. The Fox Network star told his listeners: 'I said yesterday on Fox News & Friends that the president is a racist; I think he has race issues. 'Don't know if he hates whites but there is something going on with the president'Well, I stand by that - I deem him a racist, really, by his own standard of racism - the standard of the left.'

Why do you say that he should shut up?
He is the only person speaking the truth!
While I agree with you...what makes you think the whitey libs who vote for him don’t see that?
Does whitey owe them too?
Glenn Beck is the Patrick Henry of our times.
The Race Shield will continue to be deployed to deflect all criticism and truth telling,
as long as we let it “work”.
What in your mind are we due? I call myself an American Indian (as apposed to India Indian) not Native American which many if not most of you here are. I don’t mean to put you on the spot, I am interested in your views on this.
“He believes Whites owe him and the rest of the planet for all of their self inflicted problems, and he plans to extract payment from them.”
It’s really quite insane and shallow, to see yourself only by the color of your skin. His black father deserted him, his mother and was never heard of again, did nothing to support him, nor did any of his black relation. His white grandparents raised him, provided him, obviously with the means to gain great success. Yet he sees himself only as ‘black’. It’s pathological. And dangerous.
Waaah!
A bunch of people did horrible things to my ancestors. Should I get a tax free casino from them?
The people who were wronged are dead, as are the people who did the wrong. Maybe we should find out if someone in your family tree did something wrong to someone else’s family. And have you pay them back.
What kind of nonsense history books have you been reading?
Homeland taken by force...killed and raped???
These people were stone-age for crying out loud!
Did you know there are more “Native Americans” now then at any time prior to Euroman getting here?
Please explain to me what Europeans did to the Indians that they weren’t doing amongst themselves and to each other?
Here’s an old man that is being “shut out”... no one would give him any money for his website...
The Obama File
http://www.theobamafile.com/
You all deserve an explanation. No, Obama, nor the Obots shut me down. You guys did.
I didn’t get into this for the money. As I say on my Read Me page, “My agenda is simple and clear. I am opposed to a socialist sitting in the Oval Office — especially one that employs teams of lawyers and the legal system to hide his questionable background from the American People.”
But, I’ve had a PayPal “Contribute” button on my site for over a year. Every day, I get 200 to 300 emails. 50 Of them from folks that tell me I’m a patriot, or they’re praying for me, or the site is invaluable, blah, blah, blah. None of those emailers ever clicked the PayPal button.
I’ve been reading those emails for months, and instead of making me feel good, they disappointed me. I spend 8 to 10 hours a day at this — 7 days a week, and with the exception of a local guy who sent me two $100 hits a year ago, I have received from my loyal readership $40 in contributions in the last 16 months — while my bandwidth steadily increased.
Right now, my email box is full of emails telling me how valuable the site is, and please don’t take it down — oh yeah, and I’m a patriot. Not one of those emailers has ever sent me 5 bucks. I’m a strong believer in non-verbal communication. Flattery doesn’t pay the bills.
This isn’t about money. I do not want any contributions at this point. If you send me any money, I will just send it back — and I’ll pay the PayPal fee — costing me more money.
I realize I sound bitchy, but I’m discouraged — yeah, and angry. You want me to fight the fight, but you don’t want to give me any bullets.
I’m done. I’m going to the beach.

Hates his mama? grandmama?
Well,as far as I see it America was annexed.It’s just a fact.
OK... Forcing modern Americans - or anyone for that matter
- to suffer and sacrifice to atone for historic atrocities
they/we did not commit is a dark path. When does it stop
and when do we all just become Americans?
For the record, my Granny was a Native American. She
got over it. Why don’t you?
Did I say they didn't? They agree with him!
But they don't plan to pay. Why do you think the entire Democratic "leadership" acts the way they do? They figure if they appease the thugs, they will be exempted.
Look at the history of the ANC in South Africa and the "liberal" Whites in Rhodesia -- in the end, there were no exceptions. Just those who were shaken down later.
Sounds like someone has been reading the politically correct guide to American History.
It actually exists and is being used in most college history classes:
A People’s History of the United States: 1492-Present by Howard Zinn
“If someone took your homeland and country by force and killed and raped most of your native race/family/ancestors”
They killed and raped a lot of us, too. And they didn’t own the land here.
Well said! I couldn't agree more!
I’m stating fact’s and you can’t change them at all.
Well, not according to the history professors you will find in academia.
According to them, all American Indian tribes lived in harmony with each other and the land, never abused their own women (who were considered equals in the tribe, hence the great number of famous female Indian Chiefs)and rode Unicorns in the snow...
Couldn’t resist.
