So who's still advertising on Beck? September 18 edition...

I first saw the ExtenZe advertisement, so help me God, near the end of a Maddow show. I was so hysterical, I nearly fell off of the couch. I had no idea that there were a lot of horny middle-aged men in Maddow's audience.

More importantly, how many shockingly low-level advertisers will fit?

Don't forget about the diabetes supply companies....Which reminds me, we ADHDers, we LOVE our sweets! I wonder if diabetes is in Glenn's future. He acts worse than my brother and I did after we ate all of our Halloween candy on Halloween night.

For the first minute and a half of this segment, Beck crows about how he's getting media coverage for calling the President of the United States a racist. Then he complains that he's being unfairly criticized for not providing any evidence whatsoever to back up his accusation of racism, because he claims that "the media" never criticize or question accusations of racism made against conservatives (though he fails to provide any evidence of this whatsoever either). Then Beck rants about his right to free speech (which is not in any way under threat).

After three and a half minutes, Beck is finally prepared to talk about why he thinks Obama is a racist... or is he? He offers a definition of racism -- one that interestingly has no source, attribution or citation -- and claims that affirmative action is necessarily racist because it "gives preference to groups based on race rather than individual merit". So apparently Mr. Beck feels that the US Military is a racist institution full of racists because they've practiced a highly successful affirmative action program for decades. But nevermind the implications of this sort of gross mischaracterization of affirmative action, right?

Beck then turns to President Obama's comments on the Gates story, and claims that President Obama must be racist for daring to argue that arresting and charging a black man for disorderly conduct just for entering his own home might be a stupid thing to do, and something that he recognized from his own experience in the Illinois legislature as a potential racial issue. (The nerve!) Worse yet, President Obama offered an opinion while admitting that he didn't know all the facts. (Oh no! How dare he be honest about his knowledge of the situation and the conditions in which he was basing his reaction! He must be a racist!)

Beck then attacks Gates for daring to argue that African Americans face racial prejudice and mentions that he didn't enjoy working at Duke. This offends Beck -- who apparently thinks that Duke is in California, but again, why consider pesky little details? Beck certainly doesn't. Beck assumes without any evidence whatsoever that Gates must be referring to the false Duke basketball team rape case.

Beck finally turns to Van Jones who must be a racist because he thought that the disproportionate number of African Americans in US prisons might be something worth examining. (And because he identified as a communist, which ends in "-ist" just like "racist" so what more proof do you need, right?) And then there's President Obama's characterization of his grandmother and how white people of her generation typically had a level of fear of black people.

Which exactly struck you as the "good points" in this clip?
