      Glen Beck will say anything for ratings.
      He'll pour gasoline on a guest, next he may show animals mating.
      Calling the President of the Unites States a racist is vile.
      When Glen Beck goes home a bet he opens his bedroom closet and yells "Ehk Kile" "Ehk Kile"

      Speak truth to power.

      Joe has a point, about the Dixie Chicks, who expressed their dislike for President Bush, and that's it. They din't call him a racist that's for sure. I believe it was something along the lines of being ashamed that he was from Texas, and so were they.

      Remember the backlash about that one? They got pulled from country radio stations coast to coast for that little quip.

      And Beck? He just continues down the insane path, unabated.

        Yes. The point about the Dixie Chicks is very good. Maybe we should compare everything the right says about Obama to that incident and see if there is any equivalent response.

          Indeed we should, because I'm pretty sure an entire industry isn't going to blackball Beck like country music did to the Dixie Chicks when that whole mess happened. And the outrage on the radio stations was unbelievable. I heard people calling for their heads, calling for them to be deported, and so on.
