NAACP responds to Glenn Beck calling Obama a "racist"

[jefferson_dem]

"How could the president be a racist, a man of both African-American and white heritage, a man who inspired millions of Americans to unite across the divide of race, religion, class and age in his historic run for the presidency? We commend President Obama for having the courage to discuss an issue that all too many Americans consider a third rail."

1. Has beck gotten specific in telling his lemmings to kill liberals?

Or is he just blathering on in generalities so he can fall back on the tried and true right wing radio "we are just comedians" when a birther or a tea party moron actually does kill someone?

2. The fact that Beck even has a show speaks volumes regarding America's M$M

9. One of the residents at work insisted on having FOX news on while i was serving dinner last night

Glen Beck was rambling about something while wearing a bavarian costume, complete with lederhosen. And there was a self-congratulatory circle-suck where o'Reilly had the male and female blonde bimboes from Fox & Friends on, and was quizzing them about Ronald Reagan. Then he talked to Beck. Sans lederhosen.

It was surreal, almost

3. He had Ben Stein on yesterday. Beck and Stein accused Obama of being anti-semitic!

Said his Israel policies would bring about another Holocaust.

I was just flipping channels and about lost my dinner. He needs to be taken off of the air.

7. Yeah. That's why Rahm Emanuel is his COS.

What a pile of BS.

4. I bet 1000 dollars that Beck is one of those who complains there isn't a NAAWP.

Or that there isn't a white heritage month etc. etc. etc.

11. I can't help but chuckle. It's not funny-funny, but it IS strange-funny...

That apparently the only way to "advance" white people is to oppress other races. Wouldn't this seem to indicate that whites are already at the top of the heap?

10. They nixed their first response: gales of laughter.
