Glenn Beck: The Tea Party Supporting Gingrich Over Obama ‘Must Be About Race’

Glenn Beck has made no secret of how much he dislikes Newt Gingrich– not even to Newt Gingrich’s face. But he has yet to confront his supporters until last night, when he reasoned to Freedom Watch host Judge Andrew Napolitano that there was very little difference between Gingrich and President Barack Obama– so much so that the only possible explanation for Tea Partiers rallying around Gingrich is “Obama’s race.”

Glen Beck has.....err....issues.

Glenn Beck?? The guy that used to have a popular TV show and then disappeared behind a curtain of subscription fees?

[BlazingArizona]

Huh? We’re supporting Gingrich now because they wouldn’t let us have Cain.

[Gator113]

Glenn Beck has lost his mind.

There’s something seriously wrong with that boy..

[Politics4US]

Beck is a fraud.

[McGavin999]

Well, Glen is a student of History and he always looks at history with a hard eye. He really doesn't buy into the revisionist history that is so often being pushed.

BTW, for those of you who think he supports Mitt, think again, he's a Bachmann supporter.

LOL somebody needs to check the batteries in the sarcasm detector.

I don’t like Gingrich or Obama so I must be seeking a true alien president or something.

[yank in the UK]

Glenn Beck is effin CRAZY

[CaptainK]

He may be a Bachmann supporter however he said he could vote for Romney, but not Newt.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

I like Beck.

But he’s completely wrong on this.

He needs to understand that the center in this country really does prefer the “socialist-lite” ideology.

Too socialist and they run the other way.

Too conservative and they run the other way.

Gingrich is perfect for them because he is a socialist lite/progressive, but not as drastic as Obammie the Commie.

I don’t know of any Tea Partiers that would have chosen him from the complete lineup. Those that do, I assume, do so not because of race, but because they want someone “less socialist” to run that they believe actually has a chance of winning. Newt definitely has that potential. But hey, I thought McCain had that potential for the same reasons, so what do I know?

[Berlin_Freeper]

The Left is tweeting this from HuffPo as if Beck is spot-on. LoL!

[heiss]

Beck is rino.

Nothing wrong for Newt to support Amnesty, cap-and-trade, global warming, fairness doctrine, ethanol subsidies and attack conservatives /s
Well at least he fliplopped on most of these, except amnesty

Glenn Beck has always had issues. One of the things that makes watching him interesting is waiting for the meltdowns.

He’s got that in common with Newt actually.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Beck is in the process of imploding. Once his money runs out he will be gone.

[cripplecreek]

BTW, for those of you who think he supports Mitt, think again, he's a Bachmann supporter.

Agreed, I'm a bit tired of that moronic nonthinking fantasy. If he were supporting a mormon, it would probably be Huntsman since he and John Huntsman Sr are close friends.

Beck doesn't endorse anyone but he's long been a vocal supporter of both Cain and Bachmann.

Beck outdoes him in the blubbering like a baby category.

[Farmer Dean]

You’re too polite.Beck is nuts.
