Glenn Beck of Fox News has been outspoken about black America. We need to expose his views in a broader format so that others see him for what he really is.

Pundit Glenn Beck has continued with his assault on the African-American community and his views are, quite frankly, disturbing. The perpetual conspiracy theorist has struck with his stinging tongue. It is amazing how Beck, with his less than stellar past history, has the audacity to wield his little pointer, while he accuses others of dastardly deeds in his never ending quest to go after other cultures, peoples, ethnicity or anyone or anything else that doesn’t fit into his ideal world. He exemplifies tunnel vision in a person with limited acceptance of others.
Surely we remember Beck’s nonsensical tirades of President Barak Obama. A now famous quote from the guru of conservatism was, “He has a deep seated hatred for white people, or white culture, I don’t know what it is….this guy is, I believe, a racist.” When President Obama praised the AFL-CIO, Beck couldn’t control himself. During his Fox broadcast he stated, “What planet have I landed on? Did I slip through a worm hole in the middle of the night and this looks like America? It’s like the damn Planet of the Apes. Nothing makes sense.”
Here is an interesting snippet regarding what Glenn Beck likes. On his Twitter account he has listed as his favorite “MalevoFreedom White Nationalist message board: http://malevolent.org/forum Embrace White Culture@GlennBeck White – Pride #Beck WPWW.” In an attempt to redefine America’s history oh mighty Beck has declared, “In the Constitution, African Americans were deemed three-fifths people, because the founders wanted to end slavery and they knew if the South could count slaves as full individuals, you would never get the control to be able to abolish it.” While referencing President Obama and Universal health care Beck said, “Everything that is getting pushed through Congress, including the health care bill are transforming America, and they are all driven by President’s Obama’s thinking on one idea: reparations.” When Obama reacted quickly in promising aid to Haiti after the devastating earthquake, Beck was in rapid fire mode with his response. He said, “I also believe this is dividing the nation….to where the nation sees him react so rapidly on Haiti and yet he couldn’t react rapidly on Afghanistan.” When Keith Ellison, the very first Muslim was elected to Congress, the fierce news hound that Beck is, was beckoned to ask Congressman Ellison, “I have been nervous about this interview with you, because what I feel like saying is, ‘Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies.”
Mr. Beck was raised a Catholic. As many may know, he had an alcoholic mother who drowned herself in a bay not far from Tacoma, Washington. After marrying his first wife, Beck turned to alcohol and drugs and even though they had two children, his wife divorced him four years later. While still fighting his demons, Beck was recommended, by Senator Joe Lieberman, to attend Yale as a theology major. He lasted exactly one semester. Later he joined Alcoholics Anonymous and before his second wife would marry him she required he join the Church of Later Day Saints.
Alcoholics Anonymous has a 12 Step program that perhaps Glenn Beck needs to revisit. Step five asks that you admit to God,, yourself and other human beings the exact nature of your wrongs. Step six asks to have God remove all defects of character. Step seven asks to humbly ask Him to remove our shortcomings. Step nine is to make amends to those who have been injured. Step ten says to take a personal inventory and to promptly admit it when you are wrong. All I can say, as someone on the outside looking in, is it appears Mr. Beck still has a ton of work to do on his “program” of recovery.
I personally do not like Glenn Beck. I think he is a little man with a sickly, skewed and opinionated view of American history and conspiracies galore. I don’t know for a fact if he is a racist, but I come away with a feeling that life is either his way or the highway. That kind of thinking doesn’t sound like acceptance to me. What do you think?

He seems like an unpleasant character who likes to stir up trouble… you’d be better off without him I fear.
i lkie it
He seems like a very unhappy man. He has had problems in the past which my not have been due to his relationship with the blacks. However, it appears he is using them to vent his anger and unhappiness. It is unfortunate and the man needs prayer.
I don’t know he’s too much of a free thinker right?
I agree with the others, he seems unpleasant.
He has a problem with who he is and therefore picks on others based on race to make himself feel good about himself. All one can do for sch a human being is to feel sorry and pray that God will have mercy on him and deliver him from his demons.
That guy is just nuts. Or it is all a sham and he is just an entertainer, pandering to the stupidity of his viewers.
Unfortunately he will find an audience of like-minded people. Even if you ignore them, they will not go away! Good research and a very well-written article.
The bloke is a racist – thank you for the article
Poor guy… he seems to have a very unhappy life that it has affected the way he deals with other people. A well-researched article. Thanks for sharing.
Glen Beck of Fox news has far right views in his programs. Fox news is I think a republican and right leaning channel.
Freethinker – I am no Glenn Beck fan, but I have read and challenged your propaganda in your last drug induced post. Of course, you never responded. Your efforts to smear everyone as racists who do not agree with Obama and the far left have only driven smart independents like me away from Democrats. And your skewed views on the union fight are rediculous . Stop “freethinking” and do a little critical thinking. The 60s are over, so get out of the philosophical world of academia and join reality… DUDE. If you had a real argument, you would have responded to my challenge of your last crappy article. That is because the left only smears. We Ind voters SAW that last year. Grow up, put on your big boy pants, and stop smearing everyone who doesn’t agree with Obama as racist. Thank God you idiots have overplayed that hand, and now it has NO merit.
Glenn Beck may not be the a good source of information, but who should we watch? Chris Matthews? I started watching Beck because I just wanted to hand that hack a skirt and some pom-poms. “Thrill up my leg”, and you call THAT news? If you think MSNBC is news, I’ve got NEWS for you. There is no such thing anymore… right of left.
And yes, I am a vet (3 tours in Iraq). No I am not racist, a babykiller, a war-monger, or any of the other vile names you clowns come up with. You have freedom to spew your propaganda because very brave people fight in far off lands to keep johnny jihad busy there… INSTEAD of here!
good post……………………
Looks like you have a sound view of who the man is and what he represents. He is distrubed. Waiting to see if FOX will renew his contract, he has lost many sponsors with his ranting and raving. Cheers.
He comes across as a disturbing and very unpleasant character. Wouldn’t want to meet the guy.
I have never really liked Glenn Beck. Good article.
Thanks for sharing
He clearly has to issues to deal with and it sounds like he is one person who will never shut up even when nobody is listening any more.
Nice share
He has a right to do that.
i am glad to see that there are people like you who can discern the truth of these issues, rather than listening to foolish opinions on a television channel that shouldnt even exist. it amazes me what fox has been capable of broadcasting.
In my opinion, he might be one of the few men with borderline personality disorder, more commonly found in women.
Many people in England thought Churchill was nuts to proclaim he believed the Nazis were taking over Europe. That was until they did, and he became Prime Minister because of it. I am no Beck fan, but I have noticed two things: First, the left is quick to denounce anyone as crazy when they don’t agree; Second, Beck at least promotes “doing your own homework” instead of regurgitating Chris Matthews and other commentators from MSNBC. It is easy for Independents like me to see the obvious bias coming from the left. I take in information from both sides, and there is clearly a concerted effort by the left to smear anyone who criticizes this President. Kinda funny thinking back to the Bush years when criticism was “patriotic” and now it is considered “crazy”. I will never again vote for this President or any other Democrat after their behavior over the last two years.
“In the Constitution, African Americans were deemed three-fifths people, because the founders wanted to end slavery and they knew if the South could count slaves as full individuals, you would never get the control to be able to abolish it.”
This is TRUE! If you actually READ the Constitution and the HISTORY behind it, instead of believing what has been forced upon you in our public schools, you would know that the Constitution is the most pro-freedom anti-slavery document in HISTORY.
Common sense: if the south could only count black MEN (notice you didn’t even mention women) as 3/5 instead of 1 then they would need MORE and MORE slaves to equal one vote. Furthermore, as you would know if you read the constitution, the founders also decided to abolish the IMPORTATION of slaves into the US by 1820’s so within 20-50 years, in order for the south to GAIN power in REPRESENTATIVE government, they would have had NO CHOICE but to end slavery in order to increase their numbers (especially since less than 50 years later millions of people immigrated to the US, particularly to northern states and thus the south was losing representation VERY quickly).
And I say this as a BLACK AMERICAN. SO let me guess, you are going to call me a racist too???
EDUCATE YOURSELF!! black people have been DESTROYED in this country by liberalism, GB actually speaks about important and significant members of BLACK AMERICA whereas i’m assuming, you just know the basic black people you were taught about???
isn’t the race card getting old? I mean come on already!! Your continued victimization of black americans is EXACTLY why we are still facing the struggles we are today.
well written.
Nicole – Bravo! Great response! Be careful though… Libs don’t like African Americans straying too far from their idealogical plantation. Just ask Conservative African Americans. Many people don’t even realize Republicans led the way on civil rights, most KKK members were Democrat, or that Lincoln was Republican. I don’t care which spectrum of the debate African Americans fall on, but I do like to intelligent debate from either side. Not the age old “you’re a racist” if you disagree. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have shaken down so many with that tactic, they have all but worn out the race card. I hold people for their ideas, NOT their color.
You make an intelligent argument, and should be judged on that. NOT the fact you are African American. Bravo!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Same to you IndGAVet…and as a granddaughter of a United States Marine (WWII) THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!! Thank you for protecting the rights of me—and even idiots like the guy that wrote this article!
To: Georgia Veteran and Nicole
1. I’m an Army brat, born in Ft. Monmouth, NJ. 2. I was one of the 1st to win the Selective Service lottery draft…you remember Vietnam, don’t you. 3. I do not take drugs and therefore am not in a “drug induced” state. 4. I never called Beck a racist, instead I used his own words, in quotes. 5. I write what I believe, based on the information I secure. If people feel it is propaganda, then simply don’t read my articles or respond to them. 6. The 60’s are over. Really, that was certainly a newsworthy tidbit to enlighten me with. 7. What is wrong with intellect and philosophy? 8. I am not your “DUDE” and I certainly want nothing to do with your type of “reality.” 9. Do people of your ilk ever listen to your rants? I have not called anybody a name, nor did I smear anyone. Perhaps by revealing certain good folks’ power, money, motivations and quoted words, some (cough, cough) independent people find that disturbing. 10. You and your comrade, on the other hand, have used the following: “grow up, put on your big boy pants, idiots.” 11. I have never watched Chris Matthews, so you of course, know what they say about those who assume? 12. I am a moderate and it is the “Democratic Party” not the Democrat Party. 13. I’ll end with this lucky number and tell you as best I can. I am NOT intimidated by those who disagree with me and I will NOT be silenced! I do believe in free speech and with that I choose not to acknowledge you or your extremely skewed “Independent” views. In other words, I am done discussing issues any further with you because it seems as though your independent thinking is a tad tainted.
To Nicole: As I said to your comrade above. “You know what they say about people who assume?” Let me just enlighten you regarding the “basic black people” I was taught about. Hinesville, Georgia 1950’s as a 7 years old boy watching my great aunt’s “colored” help prepare dinner, I was told in front of this African American woman to never speak with them, eat with them and to never, ever sleep with them. Let me repeat this. I was 7 years old as I looked at the nice lady cooking our meal and the prejudice and racism of the great and mighty South stuck in my heart like a knife.
He was OK when he was with the Yardbirds, but he changed after the 60s.
@ IndGAVet and Nicole: What?
3/5 of a vote? What the hell are you talking about?
The number of Senators and Congressmen in a district are determined by the population of that district. The Black population was counted as 3/5, and that population added to the white population in order to get more Senators and Congressmen in the Southern Districts and therefore empower the Southern states, and therefore continue slavery.
Read.
@freethinker – First… when you publish an opinion that is somewhat controversial, especially when it is race related, put your big boy pants on and accept the feedback.
Second, you did not call him a racist, but the article certainly inferred it and that is most certainly what any reader takes away. Read your title again and think about it.
Third, nobody is stifling your freedom of speech. Please stop the melodramatics. Your opinion is certainly respected and very much appreciated by me and many others. So please do not stop publishing or commenting. I respect what you write and your opinion. I don’t have to agree with you to ascertain that you are a well educated and clearly have something to offer. I must apologize regarding my abrasiveness in my previous response. I was a little tired of being attacked by a left wing hack. Your opinion, Sir, is certainly refreshing from the repeated drive-by insults of others.
LewSethics – nobody is forgiving the past, nor does anyone in their right mind condone slavery THESE DAYS (as Nicole said, notice they didn’t even mention Women). The practice was clearly acceptable, but not overwhelmingly condoned back then. I have “read”, but reading commentary through the eyes of political hacks of this age does not put in proper perspective the act of slavery in the minds of the Founding Fathers. We can only look at their writings to understand their true thoughts. They were trying to sew together a loosely threaded band of States against a greater threat. They had to make some concessions to progress the greater good. We could debate the slavery issue for eternity, but what good does that do? America is not to blame for the practice of slavery… “read” world history and you might be alarmed at the actions of one of the religions under current scrutiny that the left conitunues to defend… particularly regarding Women’s rights… Ever seen a 15 year old Muslim Afghan female without nose? I have. Ever heard of genital mutilation of females? I have.
Have you ever seen a Beck show? You might have seen interviews with black conservatives — yeah, they exist! You may have seen Beck’s repeated appeals to the principles of Martin Luther King. You may have even noticed some of the people that joined Beck on stage for his rally last year.
Come on, I don’t agree with everything with Beck says. But to all those that ‘get a bad feeling about Glenn Beck’, maybe you should ask why. Maybe it’s the prevalence of ad-hominem attacks on him?
@FreeThinking: You sharing some story about what you “saw” in the 1950’s is suppose to what??? Make me cry? feel shocked?! Did that experience make you feel guilty and that is why you voted for Obama and now continue to attack anyone that has a different opinion just because?
And why are you not addressing my points? Once again, you go RIGHT TO THE RACISM black v. white crap.Why can’t you have a discussion about the points I made? (like the Constitution, the Black Founders GB actually speaks about, or this victimization b.s. you keep playing).
You want to share horror stories of racism? Well I’m not from the South, I’m from Detroit, MI.–the most segregated city and most segregated state in the Union. Here is real racism–it isn’t in the past or in your aunt’s kitchen, but happening RIGHT NOW in REAL TIME and you won’t even look at in even though it is right in your face. And why? Because it goes after the very principles and ideas you believe in: guilt, division, feeling minorities can’t do anything without government help and your “compassion”.
FACT:
*1 out of every 7 black children in our nations public schools CAN’T read at grade level (almost 30% are functionally illiterate)…the dems want support from the NEA at the expense of black children.
*Detroit has a lower literacy rate than parts of the Ivory Coast
THAT is racism…happening TODAY! Why don’t you write an article on the RACISM in the NEA or Planned Parenthood and leave GB alone for a minute! To imply someone is a racist simply because you don’t agree with them is absolutely disgusting and it needs to stop. Has your liberal views helped with the race problem in this country?? YOU KNOW IT HASN’T!
@LewSethics: “The number of Senators and Congressmen in a district are determined by the population of that district.” No, sir you are wrong. Senators are not determined by population–every state has 2 senators…this was done to ensure small states had power with big states. (the constitution was amended in the progressive era to allow elections of senators by popular vote instead of by state legislatures…but the mechanics behind the 3/5 clause is exactly how i said it…lol this is what scares me that Americans don’t know the basics: Lew please learn the difference between the senate and the House, thanks
In the end, WE all have to get over this racism/slavery thing. I hate to say it, but you are not special!! Blacks were enslaved, Jews were enslaved, the English were enslaved (thousands of years longer than Africans)–Africans enslaved (and continue) to enslave Africans; Muslims enslave other Muslims (still consider women property); there is no “group” of people in this world more special or better than any other group of people..BUT OUR COUNTRY IS EXCEPTIONAL!!
Yes, the Constitution continued slavery–but remember, without that document it would have continued forever.
A quote about the importance of the Constitution:
” If the Negroes were granted the opportunity to pursue the Constitution, they might learn to contend for their rights therin guaranteed…and no Negro who gives attention to such matters of the government is tolerated…the [learning] of government, or the lack of such instruction, then, must be made to conform to the policy of ‘keeping the Negro forever in his place’.”" –Carter G. Woodson “The Mis-Education of the Negro, 1912
Wow, Nicole! Anyone like to debate her point? Freethinker? AAT? jerl? Hello, anyone out there? (Chirp, Chirp, Chirp). Enough said…
PS Nicole – Thank you for your patriotism and your GrandFather’s sacrifice. My GrandFather was one of the “Band of Brothers” at Bastogne, so I know how that influence has a profound affect on your soul. You need to move South to Georgia, a right to work state! There is good reason why people and businesses in the rust belt and northeast are leaving for the southeast. Nobody down here seems to be complaining about benefits or stifling economic freedom, and our congress actually shows up for work. The old, racist south of freethinker’s antiquity is gone, just look at the population defections. There are loons on every side, but we need strong minds like yours. Nobody that matters here cares what color you are or where you came from.
Bravo to both IndGAVet and Nicole for standing up for Glenn Beck, for making intelligent, knowledgeable, factual comments and expressing reasonable, well thought out (and researchably accurate) comments. I like and respect GB because he always backs up his mouth with facts. Every time I hear him being accused wrongly, I respond with one question- “Please tell me exactly what facts he had wrong?” I have yet to get even ONE response. It’s been a pleasure to read your posts, especially after reading the article above.
@IndGAVet: thanks, i appreciate that. You are right, my grandfather did have a profound impact and I think you can tell what people had the “greatest generations” in their life and who didn’t.
I am NOT in Michigan anymore (thank the lord) I moved to DC a few years ago and now I’m in Maryland.
@Deb1inFla: THANKS!!
I think it has become obvious that many liberals are not interested in the facts–they have an ideology and nothing can change it.
still waiting for any response to my arguments
Having a hard time reading all this dribble: Lest we forget, our current dear leader was an adamant coke-head in the ’80’s. He said so in his own “auto-biography” (wink-wink). As far as using Beck’s own words against him, that’s what Beck claims to do as well regarding the people he profiles.
I think it’s pretty clear there is a preponderant under-current of contempt for people who acquire wealth and do well for themselves by legitimate means here in America. While I’m not a huge fan of billionaires and oil tycoons, I respect and admire engineers that take a risk by getting a business loan and setting up a machine shop, or CPA’s that start their own Accounting firms, farmers that plant crops and pray for a good season and get down and dirty with the pigs & cows, and people that hustle and save and sacrifice to make a good life for their families. These are the people on whose backs we all benefit, for they pay a disproportionately larger share of their income in taxes than the rich OR poor, and employ CNC machinists, bookkeepers, farmhands and what not, yet we spit in their face and tell them “you just got LUCKY” or “you’re successful b/c you’re a greedy racist!”
We live in a country where just about anybody can do just about anything they wish if they keep on the straight and narrow, keep their nose to the grindstone, and stay disciplined. You CAN EVEN BE THE ILLEGITIMATE SON OF A BLACK MAN AND WHITE WOMAN AND BECOME PRESIDENT!!! Some country, huh? And when he first took office he had a 90% favorable rating, which meant that 90% of the country liked HIM even if they didn’t agree with his policies. Yeah, we’re all racists. Right. I guess if we can’t have a civil conversation on policies without being accused of being a racist or fascist, we all better have it out in the streets because that’s where people like Freethinking and his acolytes on this post are taking us…
@LaurieTexas: Great point!! Libs always play the “we love minorities” card but always victimize..you told a real story where, like you said, the “victim” was the teacher and that lesson is what had the impact on you not the persons color…
i think you have clearly demonstrated the difference
A slight digression brought on by the sliding scale of drugs in the *I’m not a fan of Glen Beck” commentator who descends into his usual drunken drivel of a comment: Alcohol is such an underrated drug… could that be because the richest bought their shares? It shoudl be up there with class A drugs. I’m not into ex druggies whatever their poison but alcohol is for the more trashy types, is far more harmful than cocaine physically and mentally.
This was an interesting read. It is difficult to imagine anyone as odious as Beck being allowed on British TV. I’d hope that a Sarah Palin type would be laughed out of politics too but the gulf between acceptable and unacceptable seems massive in the US. Who would have thought the nutter right would have come out against this article? I’m not surprised that they do so using pseudonyms – there is no such thing as a brave racist they’re all sneaky lowly types.
@ AAT – Not only have you proven time, time and time again your stupidity, ignorance, naivete, low class, and your masochistic gluttony for verbal abuse and intellectual insult, you’ve just now proven you can’t even read. Maybe try and get laid or something, even if it has to be with a dirty Paki. Regards.
Saxon – AAT is representative of the stifling of political debate and freedom so infectious of the left. Can’t win the argument? Shut down the debate with personal attacks, accusations of racism, lunacy, etc. They hate what America represents… Human Exceptionalism and the ability to chart individual destiny. Funny thing… Monarchys, dictatorships, and Barrack Obama ALL think they know what is best for us poor, pathetic souls who can’t make decisions for ourselves. The proof is in the pudding… Government that governs LEAST, governs BEST… now unbridle people from crooked politicians (both sides) and let freedom ring.
As for the left in America, 20% of the population should not be allowed to rule the majority. This is still a center-right country.
This concerted effort to tie any well known opponent of Obama as racist is going to have to be dealt with head-on.
It’s very apparent that is exactly the tack they are going to take to browbeat anyone who opposes their agenda into silence.
The irty little secret is that it’s been the Democratic party who has the history of racism and intimidation to live down. Their dominance in southern politics coincided with the days of Jim Crow and the KKK.
Wrong on Race was an excellent book that really gave the background for how their no-holds barred tactics ran the South with an iron fist.
When they realized they could turn African Americans into a massive voting bloc they switched tactics and now are able to control 97% and above of that vote.
Beck had an interesting show on the role of African Americans in our early history and it was much more diverse and vibrant that ever thought.
It’s a shame that if you oppose Obama these people can try and turn that into a race issue.
It’s like the ultimate in racial politics and it’s being employed by the very folks who claim to decry it.
Which it is. Pin the tail (of racism) right back on the donkey.
That’s where it belongs. And we shouldn’t be afraid to refute it and remind folks the history of where it came from and which party exploited it to the max.
Hi Saxon or should that be high Saxon? You’re back taking the bait or should that be bate (as in masturbate)? Your method of listing unproven and untrue facets of my character in full knowledge that your fellow arse wipes will uphold this pointless spew is quite amusing but nevertheless pathetic. Why my private life should fascinate you so much is surely a measure of how unaccomplished, boring and ineffectual your own private life is, has been and always will be – you stupid man.
IndGAVet knows the truth and God help all those who question it! Have you not understood his importance? His statements are at once history and prophecy. He knows the true nature of America and be warned all those who do not listen because the very act of ignoring the prat is tantamount to treason. Yawn…
As for WaterAnus (aka AquaStar) perhaps s/he is better ignored. It can’t get its head round past and present, evolution and change. Odious WaterAnus, do try and think. Here’s a parallel example for you to mull over: People were burnt in Smithfield in London and down the road, at Tyburn, groups were hanged. This doesn’t happen any more so it is really pointless criticising Londoners for it.
AAT – I do not profess to know everything. Quite the oppesite, in fact. I DO profess to know far more about America values than you since I am actually Irish American. You fail to understand what makes one “American”. It has nothing to do with your race, creed, ethinicity, or even color. It is an idea… a belief in a unique experiment spelled out by the Fore Fathers who experienced first hand England’s notion of government. None of our histories are without sin, but it is what we do from now on that matters.
You can point out specific instances of abuse by Americans, or the isolated acts of injustice. But for every act you cite in support of your case against America, I can point out ten fold acts in support of our values. As a whole… in the totality of circumstances… we are absolutely the most noble collection of citizens on the face of the Earth. No country has done more for freedom, despite your hate spewing rhetoric.
As for your supposed baiting of what you call “stupid” Americans… I welcome your rhetoric and juvenile behavior. It shows unrefutable evidence of what happens when Liberal moonbats are intellectually confronted. Attack, attack, and attack some more. Then if that doesn’t work, sabotage debate. It’s the Awlinsky doctrine for radicals. You hate so much because you are LOSING!
IndGAVet, I wouldn’t bother explaining anything to an entity who shows itself to be so lacking in common courtesy or is incapable of making a salient point without vile name-calling.
This is exactly the tactics they use for anyone who doesn’t toe their liberal line. That’s why Beck is a target, as was Rush, and Palin.
There has been a deliberate attempt to avoid the issues and focus on the personality…ridicule and scorn have been their mainstays.
An interesting thread on black America was started and the usual suspects came in and attempted to throw everything off subject.
It’s all personality driven for them.
No wonder they are so in love with Obama. His own persona has been one of personality over substance.
Reason and logic doesn’t touch them in the least.
They kneel at the altar of personality.
They are members of the Cult of Obama.
@ AAT: You know, my disdain/contemptuous and begrudging admiration for your command of language and cunning low tact is starting to grow into pity. I regret my insults to you now. You’re probably a very angry and lonely woman without consort. I hope you find true happiness…
AAT is just mislead, they are naked, basement-bound, warriors with no true understanding of the REAL world. They understand only the “virtual” world as they see it . Anyone who will defend Islamists AND stand for women’s rights, gay rights, minority rights, etc are OBVIOUSLY using the Muslim/Race/homophobe issue for their own tool in a propagandist agenda. AAT is right about one thing… most Americans are ignorant, but I am referring to the ones that agree with the Liberal agenda.
When these Euro-Liberal trash actually hold a dying Iraqi in their arms while being thanked profusely, or when they actually have to submit all their rights to a dictator like Obama …. Then and only then will their opinions matter.
Boo hoo I’m crying because of Saxon, IndGAVet and WaterAnus’s remarks NOT! How hilarious you lot are. You must be related! Are you all real Americans? Do you believe that you are what foreigners aspire to be?
Judging by the last prompt (almost immediate replies) I’ve beaten you at your own game. What you all need to learn (along with any other beneath contempt idiot who might happen across this) is not to assume you will win. That advice goes out equally to all warmongers and supremacists.
Also, when you have lost don’t play the “you must have a sad life” card. It is pathetic and beneath even you three’s inadequacies.
@ FREETHINKING
I enjoyed your article because it was very sensible. We need more writers and pundits to stand up, be counted and show their opposition to Glenn Beck and his acolytes. I will be reading more of your articles over the next few weeks.
@ ANDANOTHERTHING
I have enjoyed immensely your banter with the three amigos. You are correct in your analysis of them. They start with the personal insults then you take them to the cleaners. I doubt very much that you have a sad private life. If anything you have a vibrant life (private and public) while those three have difficulty making proper and satisfying relationships.
Banter implies a light-hearted give and take. The art of finesse depends on a subtle delicate touch.
Hardly an art that your side has mastered.
That’s why the race issue is so crudely used to bludgeon anyone who disagrees with Obama instead of acknowledging there’s room for honest criticism.
And it’s why Beck and other prominent conservatives are inevitably accused of it to discourage debate.
Fortunately it isn’t going to stop those of us who feel we have legitimate criticism of Obama from speaking our minds.
Without name-calling and racist slurs.
It would be nice if your side could banter it back with some finesse & class.
Oy, WaterAnus (AquaStar) banter implies dialogue between geysers and finesse is not exclusive to class, locale or side. You seem to think by expressing an opinion it somehow becomes fact and that is true of you and all other truly stupid people.
Why don’t you prove the objectivity you are trying to own and give some criticism of greedy bankers, W Bush AND Obama? Prove you’re honest by admitting some opposition to Obama is from racists.
I feel there has been bad manners on both “sides” as both have strayed off the topic of the article, I apologise for that. Have you the quality necessary for an apology.
