Glenn Beck To Change His Racist Ways

+3 Reply

Is Glenn Beck a racist or just a an idiot seeking the lime light?

What are his intentions when he says that President Barack Hussein Obama is a deep seated racist that hates white people and their culture?

Well stupid, racist or just manipulative Mr Beck lost his 3 major sponsors over this statement. Those sponsors being Geico Insurance, Proctor and Gamble, and Lexis-Nexus Lawyers.com.

Personally I cringed at Mr Beck's skit where he play acted out the poisioning of Rep Nancy Pelosi. But hell racism and murder seem totally acceptable to CONS as long as their side is spewing this crap.

God Save the Republic.

great post, if you haven't sign the petition please give it consideration.

Dear Frayster

Well how about just getting all his advertisers to dump him. So far this oraganization has gotten five advertisers to dump Glen Beck, that included two big time advertisers - GEICO and Procter and Gamble.

As you may know, right-wing talk show hosts have been bringing race-based fear mongering into the mainstream, but FOX's Glenn Beck just took it to another level. On Tuesday, Beck said:

"This president has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again who has a deep-seated hatred for white people... this guy is, I believe, a racist."

It's part of a larger argument Beck has been making: that President Obama wants to serve the needs of Black communities at White people's expense. This kind of talk stirs up fear, hate, and it can lead to violence.

You should join ColorOfChange.org's effort to stop Glenn Beck. ColorOfChange is already putting calls into Beck's advertisers, asking them if they want to be associated with this kind of racist hate and fear-mongering. When the advertisers see that tens of thousands of us are behind that question, I believe they'll move their advertising dollars elsewhere, and his show and platform will be history.

Will you take a stand and be counted, and invite your friends and family to do the same? It takes just a moment. Click on the link, fill in the form, click again, and Glen Beck will never knew, but his advertisers will because of ColorOfChange. Do it now don't put it off:

Glenn Beck is appealing to the worst in America. Of course, some Americans refuse to accept the fact that our president is Black or the idea that he could truly serve all Americans. But the only way these views fade away is if they're not reinforced by mainstream society. Instead, folks like Glenn Beck, Lou Dobbs, and Rush Limbaugh are exploiting racism and race-based fear to bump their ratings, stirring up racial discord in the process.

The dangers of these tactics are real. We saw the same dynamic during the presidential race: By the end, the McCain/Palin campaign was unable to control the violent energy whipped up by their race-baiting. It resulted in an unprecedented number of threats on Obama's life, a rise in the number of hate groups, and an increase in the number of threats and crimes against immigrants and Black people.

FOX has a horrible track record on pushing racist propaganda, but Glenn Beck appears to be taking the network to an even lower standard. He's trying to divide and distract America when we should be coming together and talking about issues that really matter--like health care and the economy.

The good news is that we have the power to stop this. All major media is funded by advertising. And advertisers care more than anything what consumers think. If we want to change what's happening and put an end to folks like Glenn Beck having a platform, we can do it yes we can.

It's up to us, and it can start now. If you didn't do it above do it now, pretty please! Just click on the link, fill in the form, click again, and Glen Beck won't know who or what hit him.

How is it racist to have the view that sombody else is racist?

After all Beck has Barack's book to back him on this. Barak briefly was a member of nation of Islam while in college (for a month or two) and then he found Jerimiah Wright who applies christianity instead of islam to the "white men are evil" thesis found in the Nation of Islam brand of racsism.

Obama listened to Wright's racist sermons for over 20 years. Wright presided over his wedding and over the babtism of his children. Obama Obviously heard Wrights racist message and liked it.

Is it possible that you beleive only whites can be racist and that's why you claim Beck is a racist? Sounds to me like Beck has at least some rational basis for making and backing his claims.

They don't like that Beck is so supportive of people who protest our Fuhrer's healthcare policies and so they are in the process of trying to destroy him.

It's what liberals do.

I guess I am wrong ....I always though if you could use a computer yu could think rationally but you are right liberals are blind followers with no rational thought.

Ahhh TP there you go supposing again.

If that is the case then maybe you believe we are all racists at heart and nothing your Dear Leader Mr Beck says on the TV affects the public?

Then again you may even suscribe to the notion that Proctor & Gamble and Geico are Looney Liberal out fits that are racist organizaitons against white people too and don't deserve the opportunity to finacially support your Dear Leader Mr Beck?

Did you ever see the Selma marches? The Birmingham firehoses turned on US citizens, and then the dogs? The Little Rock kids under US marshall guard? How about the lunch counter beatings? The integration of Ol'Miss? Maybe a picture of a lynching in the 1940s?

Now if you have seen any of that and feel that it is propoganda or insignificant then you may be out of touch with reality. If you watch those news reels and feel that justice was being meted out, then you very well could be a racist.

Your Dear Leader Mr Beck is stirring a racist pot that very well will boil over. Those corporations that are jumping ship on Dear Leader Mr Beck do not want to be associated with the problems that eventually will occur with flagrant attack on the duly elected sitting President of the United States of America.

spot on.
Re: You're trying to talk rationally with irrational people....

Thats about right TP, if you cannot discuss the issue in tones of rationality you must attack the person personally.

Now Toons if Beck did not call the sitting President of the Untied States a racist dear leader Mr Beck would still have the financial support of those 2 corporate giants. Geico from the INSURANCE industry and Proctor & Gamble from the JANITORIAL industry that supplies Helath Care outfits.

Proctor & Gamble and Geico have more reason to eliminate President Barack Hussein Obama, so why did they pull the plug on your Dear Leader Mr Beck?

Is it wrong to admit that the president is probably a racist? I think this should be known.

Then again you may even suscribe to the notion that Proctor & Gamble and Geico are Looney Liberal out fits that are racist organizaitons against white people too and don't deserve the opportunity to finacially support your Dear Leader Mr Beck?

Advertisers shy from controversey and some think Beck's words are contriversial.

Did you ever see the Selma marches? The Birmingham firehoses turned on US citizens, and then the dogs? The Little Rock kids under US marshall guard? How about the lunch counter beatings? The integration of Ol'Miss? Maybe a picture of a lynching in the 1940s?

Yup, and Beck is warning that could happen again if we don't become aware of the possibility that Obama is a racist.

Now if you have seen any of that and feel that it is propoganda or insignificant then you may be out of touch with reality. If you watch those news reels and feel that justice was being meted out, then you very well could be a racist.

I see those images and hope to hell we have solved the problem.....having a racist in the whitehouse isn't a good thing.

Your Dear Leader Mr Beck is stirring a racist pot that very well will boil over. Those corporations that are jumping ship on Dear Leader Mr Beck do not want to be associated with the problems that eventually will occur with flagrant attack on the duly elected sitting President of the United States of America.

Liberals have been calling Conservatives racist since liberals were shamed into voting for the civil right act (Conservative were all on board for it). The civil unrest you fear simply wont be possible unless a racist, in the whitehouse, make it happen. Beck is warning us about the possibility.

You are free to disagree with Beck if you want and even to have these exacerbated fears of race wars cropping up becuase of Beck. You are an idiot if you do.

I guess Mr. Beck is more concerned about the truth than the money big corporate sponsors could give him.

Because liberals are hammering at corporate sponsers.

It’s hilarious to me that liberals create a situation and then justify their position by citing the situation they created. People have been attacking presidents for decades. Limbaugh and Hannity have both been just as critical of the president as Beck has, but because Beck is seen as the mouthpiece of this grass roots protest against the Fuhrer’s policies, liberals have created an organization, the color orange, for the soul purpose of destroying him.

It’s never enough for a liberal to simply disagree with someone, and that’s why liberals are such incredible Nazis. If you disagree with a liberal, they will come after you.

Or...maybe Mr. Beck is more concerned with his money making show. He wouldn't have millions of ill-informed listeners if he were a rational, truth-teller.

Re: Glenn Beck To Change His Racist Ways

Let me make this perfectely clear, President Barack Hussein Obama is not a racist.

No matter how many times you and your Dear Leader Mr Beck say he is, it does not make him a racist.

President Barack Hussein Obama has never expressed racist views or taken rascist positons. Now others around him may have postulated racist views, but we have all had racist views presented to us. That does not make one a racist.

What defines one as racist are found in his speech and actions. Which are absent in President Barack Hussein Obama's life. Other wise we would have had a full airing of in the media a long time ago.

Lastly, do not confuse someone's self identificaiton with their ethinic background as racist. Otherwise many Celtic and Italian fraternities could be guilty too.

You can claim that our Fuhrer isn't a racist all day.....
by Terrortoon

But that doesn't make him any less of one.

We have been warning about Obama's racist attitudes since the beginning of the campaign.
