Glenn Beck loves White Nationalism

Wingnuts • August 2010 • Views: 2,237

White Nationalist’s “Embrace White Culture” post is Glenn Beck’s latest “favorite” on Twitter

I’ll let Fox News’ Glenn Beck explain this one. Perhaps he didn’t know that his list of favorite Twitter postings was available to the public.

In any case, Beck or the person responsible for Beck’s Twitter account clicked the little star adding an… umm… interesting post to his favorites list. The post in question came from Malevolent Freedom, which describes itself as a “White Nationalist News And Form”:

The link requires a password (which I assume Beck has) but here’s a google cache of the front page of Malevolent Freedom.

Send this wide and far. I tweeted #splc for a start.

Excellent Killgore.

I'd love to see what the article says and why Glenn Beck thought it was so fantastic. Beck is also mentioned on the front page of that site. They are wondering if he's going to betray white culture and support amnesty for Mexicans.

What. The. Fuck.

I also tweeted this to @StopBeck.

Someone should share this with a certain Glenn Beck fan, married to a certain Supreme Court judge.

This was a superb found. Excellent muckraking, KT!

This doesn't really mean anything. So he found an article interesting and wanted to check out their blog? Big deal. It's okay for you to go to the Malevolent Freedom webpage to check it out but it's not okay for Glenn Beck to do so because if he visits the site it's because he's a racist but if you visit the site it's because you're interested in exposing racists, is that how it goes?

It's not like he retweeted it with approving commentary. It's not even a link to an article; it's just a link to their forum. Glenn Beck doesn't need to explain anything because no one has made any credible accusation that this means anything at all. You people call right-wingers race-baiting smear merchants, yet you think it's fine to promote the idea that someone is a racist and spread it far and wide because you think he should have to justify his reading material as if he doesn't have the right to read whatever the he wants for whatever reason he wants and shouldn't be condemned as a racist just because you read something.

This is pathetic.

You're having a hard time with the bigger picture, aren't you?

Dan M. Thu, Aug 5, 2010 2:32:37am

Not at all. Much ado is made about essentially nothing to try to smear conservatives. Ho hum.

re: #9 Dan M.

So, you don't think that openly white-superiority racists interested in Glenn Beck (which the Malevolent Freedom article does, which Beck then favorited) means anything? Why do you think Beck plays so well to that audience? Does Beck's years of ranting on radio and TV, playing on white-grievance (such as Beck's claim that Obama doesn't like white people) themes mean something?

Dan M. Thu, Aug 5, 2010 2:48:43am

I think he bookmarked it to read it later because they tried to get him interested in the forum. I read stuff written by people that I don't agree with all the time.

He plays well to that audience because that audience is mostly a mix of libertarians and fascists.

Beck's claim that Obama doesn't like white people is a simplistic observation about Obama that doesn't take a racist to make.

Don't just dance around the issue, make a credible allegation.

re: #11 Dan M.

If you had bothered to read Charles' first key post on this issue you'd see that we kicked around alternate explanations for the favorites listing.

Beck's claim that Obama doesn't like white people is a simplistic observation about Obama that doesn't take a racist to make.

But it does, in combination with Beck's habitual playing to race issues (ACORN, Holder, etc.) make Beck sound like he's playing the white-grievance tune.

Defend Beck all you want, but you're going to have a hard time when it comes to his historical revisionism fraud, his religious psychopathy, and his long-running hate-talk radio show full of nuttiness.

I did see that many found reasonable excuses for Glenn Beck. But of course Killgore Trout and Charles didn't find them convincing. Charles, who just loves to make fun of conservatives for getting outraged over inane things done by the Obamas, has dedicated 2 posts to this Outrageous Outrage, and has defended the claim that Glenn supports white nationalists. Killgore also promoted that idea quite heavily while arguing with people who thought it was more harmless.

Anything criticism of the Obama administration becomes a race issue. Glenn Beck is a conservative nutcase who wants to attack this administration with whatever he has. I don't think the Black Panther case deserves this much attention but I would, out of curiosity, like an answer as to why it was dropped. ACORN isn't strictly a race issue. ACORN tries to get out the vote for liberals and using unethical and illegal means to do so, even though it's not nearly as big of a deal as it's made out to be because it clearly didn't affect this election or any other.

Sure, Glenn Beck is going insane. But I think this crusade to smear every conservative as a racist is ridiculous. What's the difference in trying to make a less than credible case that Obama is a racist and making a less than credible case that some random conservative is a racist?

re: #13 Dan M.

You're a fool. Only a blind idiot makes excuses for this kind of thing. What's wrong with you?

Dan M. Thu, Aug 5, 2010 1:12:58pm

re: #14 Charles

Makes excuses for what sort of thing? Reading something? Partisanship? You seem to be the one blinded by an anti-wingnut fervor that compels you to find everything possibly wrong with any of your perceived enemies, assume the worst, and defend that assumption even without credible evidence beyond mostly guilt by association BS. What have I said that's so offensive to you that you would think there is something wrong with me or that I'm some sort of idiot? Do you really think that Glenn Beck is a genuine fan or even a participant of some white nationalist forum? Do you really think that he should offer an explanation to quiet down this Outrageous Outrage over something he read?

Glenn Beck is a conservative? Heh. A flaming cage full of rabid, shit flinging zombie-monkeys is more conservative than that fear mongering, Bircher loving, conspiracy theorist Beck.
