On Tuesday, talk radio host Glenn Beck accused the Tea Party supporters of GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump of being racists.
While he questioned whether Trump’s supporters are genuine Tea Partiers, Beck said of them, “If you were a Tea Party person, then you were lying. You were lying. It was about Barack Obama being black. It was about him being a Democrat.” Although he later identified fellow talk show host Sean Hannity as a Tea Party supporter who thinks Trump is “a great guy,” Beck said that he simply disagrees with Hannity about Trump.
Beck’s comments came as part of a discussion of Trump’s rally in Texas yesterday before a sold-out crowd of 20,000. Beck stated, “The media’s making this look like [Trump’s supporters are] Tea Party people. I don’t think these are Tea Party people who are following him. Some of them may be, but I think these — I mean, you can’t — if you were a Tea Party person, then you were lying. You were lying. It was about Barack Obama being black. It was about him being a Democrat, because this guy is offering you many of the same things, as shallow as the same way. If you said to me that it bothered you about his past, you said to me, ‘Hey, what about his relationship with Jeremiah Wright? What about what he’s done here, here, and here?’ You’re not bothered by this guy, and it’s exactly the same thing.”

Beck’s demise on stage is drawing more attention than he ever had before.
I agree. Can’t listen to him for the following reasons: He and his posse giggle and carry-on like school girls; He sermonizes like he is the Second Coming; He teases about “something big” that is going to happen (stay tuned); He seems to disappear for “medical reasons” every few months, preying on his audience’s sympathy, aided by his toadies; He begs for money for one thing or another. JMHO
The first person I knew had turned on Beck. It was back in 2010. They were very upset about his “Restoring Honor Rally”. That was on 8-28-10.. The issue expressed was that the TEA Party had their plan for a rally on 9-12-10. Which was the “second” rally of it’s kind in DC.. They had called it “Remember in November”.. It had been organized by Freedom Works.. This person felt Beck intended to undermine the “TEA PARTY” Rally? Those are the dates, those are the thought’s. ???
Press 1 for Trump.
Press 2 to Deport Beck.
I think the man has always been uncomfortable in his own skin. It’s why he keeps trying on different skins.
Glenn Beck is living proof that years of alchohol and drug abuse will kill brain cells and effect brain function. So Glenn STFU! You have screwed the pooch with Sarah Palin because you are nuts and now Donald won’t come on your show because you trash talk him night and day. He did not let the Blaze in the auditorium last night because of that also so you have only yourself to blame.
I think he got his magic underwear mixed up with his wifes.
Adults understand that the world does not always give us perfect choices.
When faced with less-than-perfect choices, adults use reason and good judgment to choose.
Children throw temper tantrums because they can’t have it all.
And hopeless, immature children brag about the tantrum.
Because defending a loser that threw his own election and funded legislated for and backed Planned Parenthood amidst 12 videos showing the result of his actions, with price lists, is adult and mature.
How did I not see that?
Don’t like the fact that we were right? Tough. Vote smarter and stop contributing to America’s leftward march. Because I could not possibly care less than I do about the opinion of a guy making excuses for human garbage.
Well, you were right. You won!
What did you win?
Did the leftward march you were worried about end?
I notice you didn’t mention any mistakes in my statement.
My candidate didn’t win either. Your votes for a liberal helped ensure that. My votes for a conservative did not move the party left. yours did. My vote for a conservative slowed the leftward march. yours empowered it.
Again, thats simple Civics. You can disagree all you like but it doesn’t change the fact. The adult thing to do is recognize ones mistakes, learn from them and not repeat them. Not have tantrums because your liberal didn’t win and no one wants to give you another chance to say ‘See I told you so!”.
Glenn Beck is dead to me.
You are so right about Romney and your brilliant choice not to vote for him. He’s no different than The Dictator we have now:
Romney would have turned his back on Israel and capitulated to Iran.
Romney would have lighted the WH with the gay flag.
Romney would have celebrated the evils of Planned Parenthood when the irrefutable videos were made public.
Romney would have used Executive Orders to make himself into a virtual emperor.
Romney would have pushed to import more and more Godless Muslims into our country.
Romney would have pranced around the world preaching climate change to distract from real issues.
Romney would not have supported law enforcement.
Romney would have fomented racial tensions.
Romney would have disrespected our military.
Romney would have appeared in public in a pair of shorts while playing bad golf and looking like a complete f***ing idiot for all the world to see.
Romney would have used the IRS to attack conservative groups.
Yep. Right you are. No different than Obama.
Gosh, you’re smart!
And written on the notepad are these words?
"Just plain ol' nuts."
Bat-hsit crazy nuts.
Glenn would be wrong about that. Look at what Obama has done.
I’m unquestionably the smartest man in any room I walk into. Because I see that everything you listed was met with silence by the leftists you empowered in the GOP.
And thats in addition to my normal astronomical levels of awesome.
Damn I’m good.
Our drunken, good-for-nothing so- called Congressional leader and our weak, tepid, crooked, lying Senate so-called leader could have been lead into doing the right thing.
The fact is they are not leaders, but are greedy, self-serving, power-hungry traitors. Nevertheless, they could have been made to do the right thing. Right now they are without guidance so follow Obama. They are true idiots and accountable to G-d for their dereliction of duty.
The voters of Ohio and Kentucky have to answer for keeping these two in office. This is what happens when you are asleep at the wheel and when you don’t make sound voting decisions.
Given the astonishing speed of America’s decline under Obama, there will not be large-scale support for yet another squishy moderate GOP nominee (the only kind they’ve offered ever since Reagan). The reasons for Trump’s appeal are so obvious, and the huckster Beck is blind to it.
Guidance? you seriously want to tell anyone with a straight face that
1: The guys that run the House and Senate as constitutionally separate but equal branches to the executive are supposed to be guided? They are not supposed to be rubber stamps or guided by anyone but their voters at all.
and
2: that you want a guy with an actual record further left than any Republican in the history of the party is a desirable guide to anyone?
The fact is that 70 million people voting for a liberal republican ‘guided’ them left. They said it themselves. The people have spoken. Not against anyone. FOR liberal governance by the GOP. Thats what their votes for liberal GOP meant in form and function.
The system worked exactly as designed. The failure was the voter.
That person was incredibly wrong. Glenn has been a big booster of the 9-12 movement.
