Glenn Beck Twitter: 'Favorite' White Nationalist, Deleted Post

Glenn Beck uses Twitter, and is reported to have used the 'favorite' feature in Twitter to promote a post of a white nationalist. Glenn Beck then, without explanation, deleted said post from his account. The white nationalist in question is @MalevoFreedom.

Who knew that 140 characters could get someone in so much trouble? From Sarah Palin to Glenn Beck to even socialites like Kim Kardashian, Twitter remains on the forefront of many discussion centering on the stars. One regular guy from the UK even got enormous fame when Kanye West decided to make him the one follower on his Twitter list.

So it comes as little surprise that someone so catalyzing as Glenn Beck would become under increased scrutiny for his Twitter usage.

Glenn Beck is seen by his adversaries as a conspiracy theorist. Had Obama used the 'favorite' feature on a similar type post, then subsequently deleted it - it would have been a huge issue on Glenn Beck's show.

Of course, since Glenn Beck deleted his favorite there's no link you can go to to verify. However, a Tweet from @MalevoFreedom read:

"Woah- #Beck fav's something I said- and all of a sudden everybody grows an opinion. Thanks for the support AND the hate mail :)"

Of course Glenn Beck is extremely controversial. As hard as he is on the NAACP, it's quite ironic that this is coming out. Still yet, the jury is out on Beck. Some are going to applaud him for his alleged 'favorite' while others are going to point and showcase that as just another reason why his many theories are wrong.

Glenn Beck: NAACP Racist, Tea Party Not Racist

Conservative Fox News correspondent Glenn Beck has fired back at the NAACP's claims that the tea party is racist.  Beck states that it is the NAACP or National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, not the Tea Party Movement.

The NAACP came together and formed a resolution indicating that they would stand against the racist motives of the Tea Party, claiming that they are trying to bring America back to its pre-Civil War state.  They later backed down, softening their stance and urging Tea Party leaders not to allow bigotry in its ranks.

Beck points out that the Tea Party movement isn't about race - it's about Americans wanting a change.  He invited the NAACP to come forward and identify any leaders of the movement that may be racist.  Racism is something that Beck wants settled once and for all.

Of course both movements have a lot of controversy surrounding them. The NAACP grew upset with the other movement when the Healthcare reform bill was making its way through the ranks of Capital Hill.  The organization claims that they were deeply offended by some of the racial slurs that were hurled at African American legislators and signs that were carried around mocking Obama.

The two could do a lot of good if they worked together.  The race card shouldn't be played in any organization - especially those that are poised to help America make positive changes.

Tea Party Movement: NAACP and Tea Party Racist Accusations

The Tea Party Movement is alive and well, but the NAACP and the Tea Party Movement leaders have accused each other of racism. The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and the Tea (Taxed Enough Already) Party are at odds - even though they are two of the most widely regarded movements/organizations in politics.

According to a non-scientific poll at USA News, 43% of Americans feel that the Tea Party movement is racist, whereas 56% of people disagree with that statement. The poll results will change as more and more people take the poll on the Web site.

According to USA Today, Sarah Palin calls the NAACP's claims "appalling." The NAACP has accused the Tea Partyers of waving signs that are degrading to African Americans and also the nation's first African American President, Barack Hussein Obama.

Blogger Peter Roff has accused the NAACP of using tactics similar to those used in the 1960's by Bull Connor. He states that "It was not all that long ago that the likes for Georgia Gov. Lester Maddox, Sheriff and one-time Democratic National Committeeman for the State of Alabama Theophilus “Bull” Connor and others garnered national attention through their attacks on the civil rights movement. One frequently used tactic by the movement’s critics was to seize on isolated incidents and the outrageous behavior and statements of some of its activists to brand everyone associated with it as subversive, dangerous, and un-American."

On the other hand, there are still many who agree that the Tea Party is acting with a racist agenda. According to Fox News, reference was made by the group to racial slurs hurled at black legislators during the 2010 Health Care reform bill vote. Ben Jealous, an NAACP leader said that "We [the NAACP] take no issue with the Tea Party movement. We believe in freedom of assembly and people raising their voices in a democracy. What we take issue with is the Tea Party's continued tolerance for bigotry and bigoted statements. The time has come for them to accept the responsibility that comes with influence and make clear there is no place for racism and anti-Semitism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry in their movement."

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out, considering that the Tea Party movement has very few African American followers.

Do you think that the Tea Party movement is racist or not?
