The Weeping Freakazoid Regrets

Wingnuts • Views: 2,934

Today Glenn Beck said he’s sorry he called Obama a ‘racist with a deep seated hatred of white culture’.

With the exodus of major advertisers from his show after that remark, I’m sure he’s very sorry he said it.

Here’s Glenn last September weaseling out of explaining what he meant by “white culture.”

"With the exodus of major advertisers from his show after that remark, I’m sure he’s very sorry he said it."

Speaking of this again, does anybody know how many of those advertisers dropped Fox completely? Because otherwise, I fail to see how they're achieving much beyond patting themselves on the back while Fox shuffles their commercial schedule....

I don't know how many advertisers have left Beck, but I do know that the world dodged a bullet today.

Glenn Beck announced that he would not seek the presidency in a Beck-Palin candidacy.

Whew.

He says he regrets it but large numbers of his fans as evidenced by yours and others' photos show that many really do believe Obama is a racist. And besides, he'll just level another crazy accusation at Obama later.

Fox News host Glenn Beck said Sunday that he misspoke last year when he characterized President Obama as a racist.

"I have a big fat mouth sometimes and I say things," Beck said during an interview with Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace.


Bullshit. He said it several times and repeated on his show in long scripted monologues. It was not a gaffe.

I found Glenn Beck's theme music:

The Final lines are just perfect:

He's here to save the nation.
So stay tuned to this station.
If not, we'll be unemployed,
Freakazoid! Freakazoid!
FREAKAZOID!

Yup. Beck made a lot of money pitching his drivel. No way he was unaware of what he was saying.

9 Targetpractice  Sun, Aug 29, 2010 5:30:32pm

It's the usual non-apology apology, namely that he's not sorry that he said it, he's sorry for how he phrased it. He still believes Obama's a "racist," just that it's a "theological" matter, namely that because Obama's a liberal, he can't help see things as "oppressor and victim," unlike Beck who (of course) doesn't think in such terms. *rolls eyes*

That's no surprise. If Beck was president or even Vice President, he'd have to actually try to get things done rather than scream and cry. And Glenn Beck actually trying to solve a problem = EPIC FAIL.

12 HappyWarrior  Sun, Aug 29, 2010 5:33:02pm

What I love about Beck and his fans is how him and they think he's in the mainstream. This is a guy who hates Teddy Roosevelt and feels Reagan wasn't conservative enough for his taste.

No, I just liked the final lines, and Freakazoid's use of chalkboards during them. They fit Beck well.

"I don't want to retract… I want to amend that I think it is much more of a theological question," Beck said. "He is a guy who understands the world through liberation theology -- which is oppressor and victim.


Just a tactical retreat to another position.

The lamest but most prevalent of Beck's lies is the "look who he surrounds himself with" one (Van Jones and Rev. Wright - get it?).

Beck you asshole, I follow the news. Obama is most often with Biden, Summers, Emanuel, Axelrod, General Jim Jones, Geithner, Gates, or Clinton.

But they are not "scary" enough to fit your absurd innuendo.

31 elbruce  Sun, Aug 29, 2010 5:45:07pm

What he called "white culture" isn't that hard to define. It's very similar to Palin's "Real America." Just chop off all of the chunks of the country that have a defined local culture that represents or even is tolerant of non-whites, and there you go. Cowboy hats, country music, alcoholism etc.

I don't watch Beck. I've tried, but after about 30 seconds or a minute it's "bzzzzzzzzzzt'.
The little I've seen of him says that all he really is a snake oil salesman who loves the spotlight and whose real goal is padding his bank account.
He gets entirely too much attention.

That site is outside of any town. The FBI are already investigating the arson attempt, it's a Sunday so no work is going on, and it's Tennessee where gun shots in the woods are not really that uncommon.
