Had to love Fox's coverage of yesterday's inauguration. You had Chris Wallace actually question whether Barack Obama is in fact the President, since Obama messed up the oath thanks to conservative Chief Justice 'No Notes' John Roberts. And then you had Megyn Kelly, who used her coverage of the inaugural ball as an opportunity to spout GOP talking points for "finishing the job" in Iraq.
But the award for sleaziest inaugural coverage has to go to Glenn Beck, who feigned outrage over the benediction from civil rights leader Rev. Joseph Lowery. Lowery offered perhaps the most humorous moment of the day, asking God to "help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man, and when white will embrace what is right."
It was an acknowledgment that racism still exists in our society, and that we must learn to respect all races and cultures. Of course, leave it to Beck to turn words so humorously poignant (and completely innocuous) into racially loaded garbage.
Beck accused Lowery of suggesting all of America was racist, and then likened Lowery to Jeremiah Wright. (How's that for incendiary bigotry!) Beck went on and on, disingenuously claiming that he and his family have been praying for President Obama to succeed, and that there are many people in this country who don't hate minorities, and are "perfectly fine with brown sticking around."
Beck is going to have to do better than that if he's going to convince us that a) he's not a huge racist himself, b) that Rick Warren wasn't the sole controversial religious figure up on that stage yesterday, and c) that he doesn't see race a la Stephen Colbert.
So what’s new? Fox News is news in name only. Just a bunch of right wing war mongers with a TV station. They could not tell the truth even if there lives depending on it. Really, if you asked Bush after the eight years he was in office, if the country was better off than before he stated? Please explain how he could say “YES.” Impossible. Just like the bla, bla, bla on Fox news. Anybody who believes a word they say is quite simply, “A FOOL.”
America’s religious establishment
-almost across the boards -remains
borderline squalid.
Putting aside the sleaze factor
of people like ‘Rev’ Wright –
-or the biz-nihilist oppurtunist
types like Pat Robertson –
-where ARE these high-profile
religious figures when we have
genuine meltdowns -like Waco
or Jonestown?
Too busy making millions on
feeding the victim-complexes
of their benighted audiences -a la Wright
and Farrakhan –
-or playing high-powered valet
to those in power —a la Billy Graham.
America! —time to clean out the
temple and demand genuine spiritual
leadership —and culture –
-instead of more flubba-dubs,
flim-flam artists and bullies!
xtv. You KNOW it’s TRUE
[...] not only is Glenn Beck a bigot, but he’s also a raving lunatic. On his Fox News show, Beck freaked out because President [...]
I disagree.
I think this was not racist of Beck, and was racist of Lowery.
Anyone that spouts a generality about a race is a racist. Lowery did that.
This is the second time racism has been introduce in this political cycle. First by Obama during the campaign, and the second time by this racist, bigoted, Reverend Joseph Lowery.
Let's call it what it is, REVERSE RACISM!! Equally obnoxious, no matter in which direction it's pointed!!
If this is an indication of Obama's term in office, it maybe his only term!!
“FX” has this to say:
Not to mention thinking that its audience of poor, undereducated and easily-influenced “white trash” somehow “can't handle the truth” because they were educated in a “failed and failing” system of public education and, in the end, cannot expect to advance much in the socioeoconomic ladder because of “lack of morals, decency and common sense” being taught (cf. apartheid South Africa's syllabus of National Christian Education).
Typical Beck (and FAUX News) BS. If anyone dares to mention anything that doesn't align with his (and their) idealized view of America and the world, they whine and moan and rant. And woe to the member of a minority group who dares to speak from their own experience! How dare they!
When I see (or hear) Beck throw down on those who are racists, then I'll be willing to question whether he's actually a bigot. When I hear the rest of the meat puppets on FAUX News actually report “news”, then I'll know that Hell has actually frozen over.
Anyone who watches FAUX “news,” is an ass!
FYI: I am a 71 year old veteran of 28 years active duty in the US Air Force.
FALSE News is mostly watched in hotel lobies, elevators maybe, and similar places where you can not escape from that nonsence poring out of those screens.
Anybody who is able to think evades FALSE News channel.
Just fantan..
[...] Fox’s Glenn Beck is not spouting his profoundly bigoted views or making the wildly innaccurate claim that FEMA is setting up concentration camps, he’s [...]
We have a black president, what else do people want? We have affirmative action which belongs more in a socialistic dictatorship, we have hate crime laws which also belong in a commuist country.
People like Bill Cosby have it right when they talk about black men taking responsibility. Instead of these idiots like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who perpetuate victimhood. “When victimhood is your empowerment you can't find a solution.” AS FAR AS WHAT REV JOSEPH LOWERY SAID, THAT IS RACIST!! ITS FUNNY HOW RACISM AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE IS NEVER CALLED RACISM. HIS COMMENT IS SAYING THAT ONLY WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST!!! COULD IT BE THE VICTIM GROUPS(MINORITIES) DON'T REALLY WANT EQUALITY BUT THEY WANT SUPERIORITY!! IMAGINE IF A WHITE PERSON HAD SAID, “IT IS TIME FOR BLACK TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT.” THE RACE BAITERS WOULD BE OUT IN FORCE CALLING IT RACISM.
LETS SEE, WE HAVE BLACK HISTORY MONTH, BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TV, BLACK CAUCUSES, HISPANIC CAUCUSES, BLACK CHURCHES, LATINO CHURCHES BUT IF WHITE PEOPLE HAD SOMETHING EXCLUSIVELY “WHITE” THEN IT WOULD BE CALLED RACIST. YOU BRAINWASHED POLITICALLY CORRECT FOLKS AREN'T FOOLING ME INTO NOT SEEING THE DOUBLE STANDARDS.
THE REAL RACISM IS AFFIRMATIVE ACTION LAWS!! HOW ABOUT THE MILLIONS OF WHITE MALES THAT HAVE HAD TO PUT THEIR LIVES ON HOLD TO HIRE LESS QUALIFIED MINORITIES AND WOMEN. I FEEL SO SORRY FOR YOU PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN SUCH A COLOR CODED WORLD WHERE YOU HYPHENATE WITH AFRICAN AMERICAN HISPANIC AMERICAN!!! DIVERSITY AND SKIN COLOR DOESN'T MAKE A GREAT WORKFORCE BUT QUALIFIED PEOPLE WHO CAN DO THE JOB DO!!! I DON'T CELEBRATE SKIN COLOR!!
MINORITY GROUPS CAN CALL ME “CRACKER” AND CALL ME “GRINGO” AND THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE OK BUT IF I DON'T KISS ASS AND WALK ON EGGSHELLS, THEN I AM A “RACIST”.
JUST KEEP PLAYING THAT RACE CARD BECAUSE YOUR ARGUEMENT DOESN'T HOLD UP. IT IS FUNNY HOW REV LOWERY ONLY REFERRED TO WHITE PEOPLE BEING RACIST. ITS TIME FOR PEOPLE LIKE HIM AND THE DUMB LIBERAL VICTIM WHO WROTE THIS TO STOP PLAYING THE RACE CARD AND THROW THE TRICK AWAY AND USE SOME LOGIC. THAT IS IF THEY HAVE THE BRAINS TO USE LOGIC. MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS er3mil@hotmail.com
BECAUSE I AM WHITE I AM SOMEHOW SUPPOSED TO BE ASHAMED OF MY HERITAGE AND ANCESTRY WHILE OTHERS AREN'T. WHEN CAN WE GET WHITE HISTORY MONTH??? OR HOW ABOUT WHITE ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION? OHHH!!! THAT WOULD BE RACIST!!! I WOULDN'T BE BEING INCLUSIVE ENOUGH AND VICTIMIZING SOMEONE.
GEORGE ORWELL'S BOOK ANIMAL FARM HAS A GREAT QUOTE: “SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS”
GLENN BECK IS NOT A RACIST BUT A REALIST!!
HE CALLS IT LIKE HE SEES IT WHICH ISN'T POPULAR WITH THE NANNY STATE BARACK OBAMA VICTIM TYPES.
YOU SIMPLY CAN'T SOLVE RACISM WITH MORE RACISM WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO.
DIDN'T YOUR MOMMIES AND DADDIES TELL YOU THAT “TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT”
WHEN I SAID “MOMMIES AND DADDIES” I HOPE THAT I DIDN'T OFFEND SOMEONE WHO WAS RAISED BY TWO SAME SEX PARENTS. I WOULD FEEL SO BAD IF I WASN'T “INCLUSIVE.” YEAH RIGHT!!! THERES THE RUB!!! I DON'T HAVE “WHITE GUILT” AND I WILL NEVER BE BRAINWASHED TO.
I AM AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE, I AM AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, I HATE OUR SOCIALISTIC WEAK ON NATIONAL SECURITY, LIMP WRISTED PRESIDENT AND MOST OF ALL I HATE PEOPLE WHO INSTEAD OF TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS BLAME ALL OF THEIR TROUBLES ON RACISM.
