Quotes of the day

“During Fox & Friends this morning, Glenn Beck expressed a personal opinion which represented his own views, not those of the FOX News Channel and as with all commentators in the cable news arena, he is given the freedom to express his opinions.”

Does anyone know why Mark Levin has a bug up his butt about Glenn Beck? Seems they are on the same side.

Barack Obama is supposed to be so smart, brilliant actually.
He’s a lawyer, right? From Wikipedia:
“Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and also taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004.”
Now really..
Isn’t Obama about the worst lawyer you can imagine? Always shooting his mouth off, saying things that have to be retracted later. Always rushing to judgement. Intensely biased and unable to set aside his personal biases in order to do a better job? Always making things worse, by overt action and statements, for his client (The United States and the US taxpayer)??

I’m outraged!

Recognizing racism is not rocket science….
jeffn21 on July 29, 2009
But acknowledging that fact is racist…or something.

Glenn Beck is one of the few on tv really laying it on the line. He is saying what needs to be said. If some people find it uncomfortable, too bad. What is it gonna take to wake people up?

I don’t understand why racism does not work both ways. There are blacks, Whites, Asians, etc that are racist in their core beliefs and actions. But it seems that only the blacks seem to think it is only to be used by them.
I have been subject to a black racist in the past and they seem to get away with far more than whites and they are the first to cry when they are caught and say that the person catching them is racist.. Amazing.

How about a free and unfettered media telling the truth, uncolored by their own political ideology.
SKYFOX on July 29, 2009 at 9:39 AM
Beck seems to have this figured out as far as the master plan with the community organizing public funded organizations that are quietly taking over our country. Even the writers at 24 could not come up with this stuff.

That would be great! But you know the old addage: wish in one hand….

So we criticize the Left for crying racism at every little go…and quite rightly so.
And then we go ahead and do the same! I personally believe the president misspoke on the Gates affair. But it does not follow that his comments were motivated by racism.
The same way i believe that officer reacted by arresting the professor–the man is king of his castle and all that–but I don’t think it had anything to do with racism!
To hard to understand?

It’s not too hard to understand when you listen to Bury’s own words.
thomasaur on July 29, 2009 at 9:55 AM
the president is one of those “whitey is after me” blacks. maybe all blacks are that way, i don’t know. i don’t view all blacks with such a negative lens.

A great many of our betters and there are many who are better than us will come and loudly remind the lowly that only White people can be racist only Whites are oppressive.

Thanks rockbend on July 29, 2009 at 9:22 AM for the history, it helps put a lot of President Obama’s actions into prespective.
A Community Organizer (pitting one group against another to the benefit of one over the other. Then he goes to law school to do it legally or find loopholes so he can take advantage of laws to give his organization a leg up (that is for Matthews and his thrill).

I’m not sure, but it sounds like Beck and others, use material from Levin’s show and never reference where it comes from. That’s what I gather from Levin’s remarks.
Sporty1946 on July 29, 2009 at 10:22 AM
Beck is correct on this one. We haven’t had a glaring moment where Obama’s mask totally falls off, but it’s early.
All the aforementioned quotes are very illustrative in and of themselves:
Plus his decades long association with Rev. Wright’s church, yet he swears he had no idea Wright was like that, which is preposterous.
And I agree with Obama on one thing- this kerfluffle with Gates was a teachable moment- not just for Obama (keep your mouth shut on issues of which you have no knowledge and which are subject to litigation, odd to tell an attorney that) but for the nation- take a good look at the real racists, Gates and Obama and (Sotomayor for that matter). They are profoundly racist, but they are excused and oblivious of it as it is acceptable behavior in their intellectual/political circles.
That is more true than he even realizes. I saw it daily when I attended law school. Very prevalent attitude. When Obama was elected, I told my friends “get ready for 4 years of law school. So far, I’m right.
Saltyron on July 29, 2009 at 10:47 AM
Obama isn’t racist…he just hates white people.
Wyznowski on July 29, 2009 at 11:09 AM
If a white guy is racist towards a minority, it is racism. If a minority is racist toward a white person, it is not reverse racism, it is racism.

*yawn*
I’m off to go cling to my guns and religion now.

Boy if Bush had said anything about Mexicans or Blacks he would be been run out of office. He even took a beating about Islamic terrorists, but our current butthead can say anything and get away with it.
workingforpigs on July 29, 2009 at 2:07 PM
I wish people would use their brains and learn what racism really means! Disliking someone for the color of their skin is NOT racism! That is called being “prejudice”! A racist is someone who believes that their race is superior to all others. David Duke is a racist he believes that the white race is superior to all others. Hitler was a racist, and so was Abraham Lincoln who said “…I as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.” Jeremiah Wright is a racist, so it is safe to say that Obama may very likely be one, but I have heard no word from Obama stating that he thinks blacks are superior to all others!
–
The word racist is used far too often by very stupid people, and God must love stupid people because he made a bunch of them! (Most are in the press and Dumb-o-crat party)!
Confederate on July 29, 2009 at 2:10 PM
Ochimpy is a racist? That has been clear since day one.
csdeven on July 29, 2009 at 4:35 PM
SO disappointing, AP… now you’ve reduced yourself to Quote Mining every little thing to diminish those you disagree with.
Palin, Beck… just Who’s fight are you fighting?
