Glenn Beck is a Pot Calling the Kettle Black

Glenn Beck, for all his radical lunacy, has traction with Fox News conservatives and Palin Republicans. On Tuesday’s “Fox and Friends” morning show, Beck was asked about the arrest of Henry Louis Gates Jr by a white Cambridge police officer. President Obama, who is friends with Gates, subsequently made the comment that the officer had "acted stupidly." Beck apparently believes that President Obama sided with blacks, thereby alienating all whites. And so, of course, that means President Obama’s a racist.

Everyone and his third cousin has weighed in on Gates-Gate, but leave it to Glenn Beck to just take it home: Obama hates whites. Of all the ways we could understand what happened when two people, both Gates and the police officer, acted irrationally, only Glenn Beck takes it to the level of white supremacist hatred. Now, in Beck’s twisted world designed to instigate viewers into a frenzy of distrust and paranoia, his viewers and listeners are to understand that the President of the United States, the Commander in Chief of all the armed forces, the leader of the greatest country in the world, is a racist. And hates his white mother and grandparents who raised him. Right.

Thanks for clearing that up, Glenn.
