Glenn Beck Says Obama Is Racist

 

NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News Channel commentator Glenn Beck said he believes President Obama is a racist. Beck made the statement during a guest appearance Tuesday on the Fox & Friends morning show. He said Obama has exposed himself as a person with "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."

His remarks came during a discussion of Obama's reaction to the arrest of Harvard University scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. Gates is black and was arrested for disorderly conduct by a white policeman over a misunderstanding about a break-in at Gates' home.

An Obama spokesman, William Burton, said the White House had no comment on Beck.

Beck's statement was challenged on the air by Fox host Brian Kilmeade, who noted that most of the people who work for the nation's first black president are white.

Your Black World: In Less Than 24 Hrs. McCain Changes Mind On Gwen Ifill

John McCain, who less than 24 hrs. ago, expressed complete confidence in Gwen Ifill’s ability to be “totally objective,” now wants to recant his statements. What prompted this erratic move? Only time can tell. In an interview this morning on the laughable FOX News Comedy show, FOX & Friends, John McCain betrayed his previous statement, and embraced the fascistic right-wing attack on Ifill. Sen. McCain remarked that he only wished “they had picked a moderator that isn’t writing a book favorable to Barack Obama.” Adding that, “Life isn’t fair.” Oh, what’s a mega-wealthy 13-cars-and-9-houses-having White male to do (Read: Sarcasm). Well, Senator, you and I both agree on one thing. Life isn’t fair. But before you self-congratulate, think of the billions of Black, Brown, Red and Yellow peoples of the world, and the everyday horror they are subdued by. An horror simply called, reality. Now think of how your overpriviledged status so glaringly contrasts their underprivileged plight. As for whom is both suitable and competent to replace Gwen Ifill on such short notice, I’m not sure, but in the words of a famed Gov. from Alaska, “I’ll try to find you some and I’ll bring them to you.”
