Glenn Beck Was Right!!!

Well, I mean I'm technically Hispanic but that's beside the point.

LOL

Well it clearly says on his birth certificate racist. Oily Taint has a copy of it.

LOL

Well, you see, I'm Spanish (like from Spain, not Mexico). So while I'm white, I'm technically Hispanic.

Well, you see, I'm Spanish (like from Spain, not Mexico). So while I'm white, I'm technically Hispanic.

Ah, the True Hispanic(tm), as opposed to the Native American Hispanic.

TeHe...I love sarcastically written articles...:)

(I don't think some are getting it though)

Sir. Thinkswaytomuch

Seriously. Can't a white man get a break in this country? I feel so hated when I'm not discriminated against... Well, I mean I'm technically Hispanic but that's beside the point.

Sir. Thinkswaytomuch The poor white man or woman who feel they have been abused,

I have a possibly unrelated question.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what, if anything, is the difference between Hispanic and Latino?

I've grown up in a very homogeneous New England suburb where 95% of the people look like me, so I'm afraid I'm a bit ignorant on the matter.

Of course Glen Beck was right.

I think it is time that we male WASPs stood up! I have been deprived all my life!

Ever since I was a child, I have heard about discrimination. But never... I say NEVER have I felt it! I have been deprived!

This is profoundly unfair. We male WASPs are always the last. We are the last to be fired. We are the last to be suspected and arrested. This cannot go on...

Cruel world.....

Beck is like many shock jocks, he wants attention and says what gets attention. He then looks for excuses to back up his spur of the moment comments and pretends he thought them out. Honorable people are far less likely to get attention. There are those who are white and racist and want to justify their racism. Beck gave them what they wanted.

People do not turn to him for information or reason, they turn to Beck like any other radical to justify their tribal thinking. He is a fool leading fools feeling like they are important because there are lots of them.

This is not to say there are not blacks who are racist. There are people of all groups who are racist. It is sadly a majority in all groups. Sadly even when a group is subjected to racism they tend to respond with racism and only oppose it against their own group.

It's about time everyone realized Beck's credibility and how he is always right, please, please, when he speaks about how we Americans have the best health care in the world, please, please remember

Please forgive my ignorance, but what, if anything, is the difference between Hispanic and Latino?

Well, Hispanic is a term that has historically been applied to those from the Iberian Peninsula in Europe. More recently, though, it's been applied to those from countries that constitute the former Spanish empire.

The U.S. Office of Management and Budget currently defines "Hispanic or Latino" as "a person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race".

It's not really clear, but that's the best definition can really be given.

Glen Beck needs a large injection of Relax.

Glen Beck needs a large injection of Relax.

...and a HUGE injection of Exlax.

Bad idea. He's ALREADY talks too much -- we don't want stuff to start coming out out of him other places too........

we don't want stuff to start coming out out of him other places too........

What a person takes in, is usually what they emit.

Glen Beck needs a large injection of Relax.

No, Glenn Beck needs a large injection of "contract cancelled."

For anyone who missed Jon Stewart's report on Glenn Beck's appendicitis problem, well, you've just got to watch it. Sorry, couldn't help myself because this is nothing short of brilliant.

As usual, Beck's alligator mouth over rides his humming bird a$$.

Beck needs his global cleaned.

Obama is the President and he can do what he wants to do. The shoe is on the other foot now and glen and other r@#% ist are uncomfortable (full of hate). It's not hate the President has it's just that he can do what he thinks is best. Walk a mile in his shoes.

How do you use Glenn Beck and right, as in correct, in the same sentence? Right wingnut I understand.

Jkiff, Hispanics have their roots from Spain and Latinos from Latin America. Hispanics have the Spanish language and Latinos may have Portuguese, Spanish or even French.

VisionCoast

Brilliant link! Nobody beats Jon Stewart for parody....nobody!

To see Beck's ass-like personality parodied by the best is priceless.

Thanks!

Happy to share the laughs, AZ. It's a keeper, for sure.

Oily Taint aint a Dem.

BTW lighten up :-)

You're right southwest... I do not know about anyone else, but it seems the Democrats in my eyes have been trying to stoop very low to the level of the Republicans. It is tough being a Democrat, you really do not know how tough it is to try and stay above the fray of a the lowly Republican who insist upon telling fairy tales, and Democrats not getting the joke all this time... but we see the joke now - the right wing...and the tide is turning, we are starting to learn from the Republicans it is better to tell fairy tales like the Republicans do, ask inane questions, and make up and or fabricate stories that are nonsense. It seems that this is what Republicans believe and the extreme right wants others to believe.

In essence we are trying to relate on a lower level saving our minds for bigger and better things....We are trying to dumb down so you will be able to understand us...at times we feel that we are close but there seems to be someone on the right that is dumber, so we must start all over again.

I for one am glad we finally have a Democrat who can pay so much lip service to Bi-partisanship and simultaneously push the most aggressive liberal agenda ever. It's like we live in Cuba.

It's great how we talk about working with the other side and then craft legislation in smoke filled rooms. We talk about reaching out to republicans but give cushy white house appointments only to left wing radicals. We talk about ending the politics of division, but pass bills with the thinnest margin of margin of victory from a down the line party vote.

I'm glad we finally got our @!$%# together. It doesn't matter how you govern, it only matters how you spin the bull @!$%# on cable news.

It's like we live in Cuba.

Beautiful country. Marvelous people. The rum's not bad either...

Beautiful country. Marvelous people. The rum's not bad either...

... and they have a better health care system.

Right on, Karl. Almost EVERY industrialized Western country's got better health than the United States. (AND, it's free.) But in this country, the rich Republicans want to keep it for themselves.

Doobie - There isn't any country that I know of .. even the 36 countries ahead of the U.S. where the health care is free. Have you ever heard of the saying: Nothing in life is free

The air you breath possibly.. but even that comes with a price ... you must remain healthy enough to breath fresh air.. if you can find it.

(AND, it's free.)

Of course not. Someone has to pay for practitioners, for medicine, for hospital beds.... It isn't free, anywhere.

In some places, Cuba for one, individuals do not pay anything directly. So it may "feel" like it is free. But the costs have to be covered by other means such as taxes, customs, ...

In most countries, health-care funding is more direct.

The oldest tradition is German. It goes back to before German unification. No! Not the recent East/West re-unification... back to the 1871 Unification under Prussian leadership of what was until then a myriad of minor states. The man who led that Unification, Count Otto von Bismarck, also led a transformation of Prussia from a rural backwater into an medium-weight industrial state. As part of that transformation, Bismarck installed a social security system for health and retirement, based on company and employee withholding. Sound familiar?

Most of Europe's social safety nets today can find their roots in Bismarck's reforms, so most have company/employee withholding.

The communication between the government and its people has for eons been...for a lack of a better word.. Lousy...

When the critics say - health care is going to cost you more money - it will... However...and I must point out a however...will it be more secure and the beneficial aspect of going through what we must in able to call ourselves civilized.. is to extend the coverage for all. It may not be a popular thing to do.. but if it makes the Insurance companies angry enough to empower through much money to their political hacks in congress to try and stop it.. then it is something the Democrats must do because no one else will do it. The Democrats are for the people.. sure... they probably get their money also in some way.. but they push against the corporations to empower the people.. As we saw in the House vote - what was it 39/40 Democrats voted against it.. these are the conservative Democrats or one could conclude their pocketing a little from the insurance companies (all alleged ) --

Health insurance is not free.. but to create a better system.. one must crack a few eggs

but to create a better system.. one must crack a few eggs

No.

All those EU health-care systems that get better results than the American system does... also cost less. Between one-half and two-thirds as much as the US. The least efficient still cost one-third less than the American.

Don't forget: In the absence of competition, the US health-insurance-fund managers are raking 30% off the top for shareholder dividends. Knock that down to a reasonable profit of 5%, and you have instantly reduced customer costs by twenty-five percent!

I got tired of typing..

You are absolutely right..

All those EU health-care systems that get better results than the American system does... also cost less.

one of the reasons why we rank 37th in Health care is because of cost... however.. again... they get it from the people on the other side...

Could you be a little more specific and link some 'facts' that relate to this articles topic, to back that up? Or, is that just your own, one sided, blind opinion?

DcStone - Hey!!

There have been 3 deletions after my post in the last 2 days... am I writing something that is getting under the skin of some ? lol

am I writing something that is getting under the skin of some ? lol

that would be... Par4TheCourse

;^)

KGMO- Hey!! I hope it itches them...

Becky on Twitter lol

I just realized my tonsils are missing. Man, I wish I were as rich as M. Moore i could've had some of that sweet Castro Care he loves.

http://twitter.com/glennbeck

I don't even know where to start.

KGMO - I feel filthy after going on his site .. argh.. like something is crawling...

That's the same one .. lol

Between Becky and LimBAH! it is a tie for fabrication.. both are up for "Chicken Little of the Year Awards" - Telling their followers the sky is following...

Oh, Par...I do hope you didn't think that comment 2.15 was about your comment...it was responding to 2.14 comment...in which there was something said that I questioned...I do hope you are not mad at me...;)

But, Yeah unfortunately there are some people that like to spew their opinion as a 'fact'...go off topic and 'attack' other viners...hense, the deletions...

Oh, speaking of off topic discussions...check this one out...it couldn't happen to a nicer viner...(thanks for indulging me ahead of time Jay...)

DCStone.. naw why would I think that?

:)

IDK....Defensive I guess....

Don't have to be with me...

good...:)

1) It certainly shouldn't, but it does. Until or unless a true socio-cultural shift happens and everyone is treated both de jure and de facto equitably, it will.

2) I'd be just as happy if the government directly reflected our interests, and not those of corporatism and ideology. But that's just my take on it...

3) In regards to what? In any case, ethnic quota systems are not the answer to anything-- they don't work in practice the way they are intended to, and cause more problems than they solve. For instance, affirmative action in education would be better served by an economic rubric rather than an ethnic one.

4) Only when all sides stop using ethnicity or skin tone to frame the issues. But something like that would require a good, hard, clear-eyed look at the problems (and, to be fair, the positives) in our cultural history, and that doesn't look to be happening anytime soon.

Repoman-1208817

So I read the article and I have some questions.

1) Does it matter the ethnicity, skin color, sex, or religion of a judge matter? If so, why?

Repoman- That maybe hard to do with most people from the south, skin color is why the republicans have lost it, they never thought a black man could have won the president even if John was older than dirt.

Jerry coleman-- I am from the south. I voted for Obama, knowing very well the color of his skin. If you want to say I didn't vote for Obama, OK. Let's just put it this way then,

I didn't vote for Obama, I voted against McCain. Happy?

2) If diversity is important, should our government directly reflect our population (percent for percent)? Why?

no but when it is vastly differnt than the population and yet there are plenty of perfectly good candidates of color, it suggests a problem. Perhaps a systemic bias in the nomination process.

question for you.. if you thought your race or group was just as intelligent and educated as anyone else.. wouldnt you want equal representation or at least close to equal?

we arent talking about taking jobs from better white people and give them to persons of color, we just dont want a person of color who is equal or better than the white guy to be over looked simply do to his skin color.

basically using stats to prove there is some racism going on. and letting everyone know we know there is racism going on and urging them to stop, without actually calling anyone a racist.

I voted against McCain.

So! You're just like Obama. A racist. You hate white people and white culture.

Oh? Color has nothing to do with it? Jeez! That's weird...

Bob Nelson-- what white culture? Is that something different that the common American culture, which is, for good or ill, thoroughly integrated with the popular culture as expressed through the electronic media?

What are the fundamental aspects of white culture that you see Bibi opposed to? What is the value differential between "white" culture and the cultures of other ethnic Americans?

Or is it not a culture thing, but merely a reaction against the shifts in social currency away from the status quo that you are arguing about? Is it not a question of "culture", but a question of identity-politics power arrangements?

I was being sarcastic, referencing Beck's infamous outburst, "Obama is a racist. He hates white people. He hates white culture."

I have no idea what Beck was talking about... thank God!

I am a middle-aged white woman, and sometimes I don't like white people either.

Bob Nelson

You have no idea what Beck's talking about....I have no idea what Beck's talking about.......and Neither does Glen Beck.

I've never seen his show, I don't even when it's on.

KGMO, go to YouTube and search "best of Glenn Beck." Oh, boy, will you get a feast. Mr. Melodrama at his finest...but it's always good for a laugh.

KGMO

I believe Beck's show airs prior to the "early bird special" at Luby's and Olive Gardens nationwide.

Jaywow is this what you said,

I never thought I would have to admit this, but Glenn Beck totally nailed it when he said that Obama is a racist with a deep-seated hatred of white people and/or white culture. He's done a pretty good job of covering it up so far, but his judicial nominees expose him for what he really is:

And i want post in all bold anymore, now what did i say that you did not imply, did you not say Beck was right . i hope i understand you now, you were talking about the whole seed from some one else.

JayWow - Actually President Obama is "Bigoter" than the wingnuts. He's larger than life at this time.. they passed the bill...and 1 Republican..

i love the little china towns, spanish areas and such.. i can visit and feel like i am in a different country all in the safety of the american borders.

Then appeal to Tyler. Otherwise, jaywow is the keeper and chief moderator of his own column. If you truely are in the right, Tyler should restore them swiftly.

You'll also note that you have no free speech on the internet, and your claim of censorship means absolutely nothing.

It seems to me it has been brought to the forefront......Nationally....Take my country back....Tea parties.....townhall meetings....avoiding the issue of a discussion of race until a black president has been elected so they can claim first we aren't racist but you are because you don't agree with my racist postion.

we have a strong good ole boy network down here.
there is a reason the gop adopted the "southern strategy

at least the GOP strategy did not include the "Klan Vote" . It is funny that these American holocaust denialists of what happened to African Amercians in America want to pretend that their party never was associated with racial issues....Dred Scott, Plessy vs Ferguson...the list goes on and on....

billy, wherever do you get the idea that modern Dems deny the Dem part in past atrocities against black Americans? I register as a Dem and I'm fully aware of the Southern Democratic Party's shameful role in this part of our history. Strom Thurmond was a Democrat. Jesse Helms was a Democrat. George Wallace was a Democrat. Do you notice the tense of the verb in those sentences? To the great credit of the Democratic Party, those people became less and less tolerated until finally they left, and good riddance. Can you guess which political party welcomed most of them with open arms? I'll give you a hint: it nearly rhymes withe "republiscum."

I guess someone here doesn't understand about learning for the past to make a 'change'... the difference between the past actions of a group of people, and learning from it to 'change' into a different path...

It is one thing to acknowledge the history, and not change ...but, in this case no one is saying the Dems have denied it all...in fact it was a truth AT ONE TIME. No one is denying it and I see you make the same argument all over the vine and are corrected over and over, which makes me think that you just have an agenda yourself......apparently some people don't want to get beyond that and move into the present which is DIFFERENT than the past...(which someone here is refusing to acknowledge)

.

Becky is that perfect long term case for a psychologist/psychologist, and many that follow her are in dire need of one. Yes Becky the world is round, its your mind that has gone flat.(sob sob cry)

JayWow - Drawing flies to vinegar isn't easy ;)

I always wonder what it must be like to live in the macabre paranoiac world where the likes of Spirit and those of that ilk reside. It must really be a bizarre and scary place.

Fr. Jack - We have been witnessing it since 2000 - The Becky's of the world along with LimBAH!, are just a couple of ghouls...they haven't any significance but every once in awhile they pop out from their holes to justify their lives with fabrication and much misinformation. The dangerous part isn't that they exist, it is their wacko followers that can be really dangerous..the gun toting, one tooth wonders from the sewer pits of hell, the Deliverance (Squeal like a Pig) to Ned Beatty in the original film type people, that have one cell connected to their brain stem. This type of person I am afraid of ,the mentally handicapped psychotics that flare up as we all have heard about, and thank goodness most will never experience first hand.

Pfft, DR. It's sarcasm. You might want to avoid such articles if they make you need an eye wash.

A lame attempt at satire that diminishes Beck. I know. Only a liberal could find it interesting, amusing, or worth the 30 seconds it stole from my life.

30 seconds, is that all?

Becky - what can I write about him that many of us have not stated? He's a fine upstanding person with the lack of ability to humanize himself? He has to endure the critics who seem to be out to get him,... and many pray that someone would? I find it really tough to say anything that would raise him to the highest of all pedestals.. WAIT!! The pedestal he shares with LimBAH! it is a mighty small pedestal indeed.. so Becky's head is stuck in ..... .

30 seconds, is that all?

Can I help it that I'm a speed reader? So the average lib took 30 minutes to read the article?
