Glenn Beck is one "shock jock" that you either love, or you hate. His most recent controversy came out when it was reported that he called NFL pro football star Brian Urlacher a Nazi. The news is shocking, and comes days after rumors that Glenn Beck is going blind surfaced on the Internet.Of course, Beck calling Urlacher isn't the only time that a talk show host has called someone notable a racially charged name. Rush Limbaugh recently called the late owner of the Yankees, George Steinbrenner, a "cracker" who has made a lot of African Americans rich.
Beck's claims are far more urgent, as Urlacher is alive and well. He called the NFL star a Nazi when showed a bunch of pictures from "The Blackest White People We Know" list featured on theroot.com. Beck issued an apology, noting that he's not a sports star and didn't recognize the picture of Brian Urlacher as one of an athlete. He claims that he made the judgment call based on the man's short hair that ended up being offensive.
Would it make it right on Beck's part to call anyone a Nazi - even if they are a regular guy on the street? Racially charged accusations come with a cost. In addition, they tear up the very fibers of the American way of life. With all the back-and-forth between the Tea Party movement and the NAACP, this wasn't the best time to call someone, anyone a Nazi.

I think Glenn should meet with Brian face to face.

ReplyDeleteLiberals only care about name calling when it suits them. How many stupid democrats have done the same to conservative republicans? Where were you then - hypocrites!
ReplyDeleteI love it when people look for something to criticize. Leave the guy alone! When someone else says something (racial,etc.) and they mean it, nothing is said!!
ReplyDeleteWell it takes one to know one beck !
ReplyDeleteThis is typical liberal physcobabble, Glen beck is not a racist. If reasonable people would watch the show, they would realize that Glen throws out some hypotheticals to get the audience to think.
ReplyDeleteProgressives take sound bites out of the show, completly out of context, and then start painting. Then they equivalate their very real racism in the progressive movement to the alleged racism against Glen Beck...Congratulations! This is a tactic right out of the progressive handbook.

ReplyDeletePerfect example of Beck's knee-jerk, simpleton view of the world. Make wild accusations with no actual facts or information of any kind backing them up. It boggles the mind that people actually listen to this troll, let alone the idiots defending him in this thread. Oh, but "god" speaks to Glenny, so that makes it all okay. I can't wait to see this nutjob's epic meltdown right around the time his little tebagging party gets their a$$es handed to them in November.
