Beck "theory": Obama, following ACORN's lead, planted Gates question because it "helps" him rally "hardcore supporters"

From the July 24 edition of Premiere Radio Network's The Glenn Beck Program:

Maybe the Republicans planted the question because they knew Obama would take Gates side. The "stupidly" comment was an unexpected bonus.
The funny thing was - it would be as "stupid" if they'd acted the same way with a white guy they questioned breaking into his own house!
They did act STUPIDLY. There was no crime, and even the yelling / disprdely behavior was a situation that could have been diffused. Instead the cops kept pressing until the reached the minimum threshold for an arrest. Pretty stupid, regardless of any other circumstance.
Nah, me neither.
Can someone please get him help?
Talk about ACORN
Deny global warming
feed the birthers
call Obama a racist or say he's playing the race card
Call Obama a socialist, fascist, communist or any other word that ends in ist.
And that's not liberals doing that, is it?
- he has a theory that FEMA is building detention camps
- he has a theory that Obama's healthcare plan will allow for litigation against a snack food
- he has a theory that the Gates question at the press conference was planted
Glenda sure has a lot of "theories."
What he never seems to have, though, is "proof" . . .
He dodged the Nico Pitney question, never really gave an anwser.
He gave a horriblly unpolitical responce to the Gates question.
Seriously why whould this man continually plant questions he cant anwser?
If the Con's want to talk about planted questions (of which I dont think there have been any, but if you want to attempt the issue) at least have the common sense to pick a question Obama actually seemed to have a long detailed anwser ready for, you know something he actually seems to have a good politcal anwser thought out for.
I dont understand what Beck thinks he gets out of accusing Obama of planting only the questions he botches
According to many news sources Gates said he did show identification. I've also read that Gates demanded ID from the cop (well within the rights of a citizen) who refused to provide it. If true, I'd probably get angry and belligerent, too.
Where do you hear anything about Gates threatening the police chief? What do you consider to be a threat?
And, this constant demonizing of Acorn is way out of bounds
He does not want us focusing on Obamacare.
He is also using the town hall meeting where a strong woman said I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK, but strangely she never said anything about race, as another way to play the race card.
We need to understand also that Obummer is not technically black, but according to the English language he is mulatto.
WE CANNOT TAKE OUR EYES OFF OF HIS HEALTH PLAN, because if we do he and Pelosi with cram it through before we even realize what's happening.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Screaming and drooling while dangling a Zip-Lok bag hardly qualifies as strong. She made the crazy Cat Lady on the Simpsons look rational.
And mulatto? Debs, that term kind of went the way of separate but equal schools. Good old boys back in the Jim Crow days were fond of the term because it made them sound educated. It didn't work then and it doesn't work now.
What always amuses me about you folks there on the far side is your fondness for the CapsLock key when proclaiming your patriotism (even as you show how little you care for the people who actually inhabit this country).
God takes care of children and fools, so God bless you!
Funny, that's not what your hero Rush Limpballs said .. .
Deb, Deb, Deb -- your wingnut masters need to get their smears straight . . .
That's the only kind of help that your side is willing to give to those in need of it.
Let me tell you a little something about the history of race relations in America. Up until about, oh...1967, if you had a great, great, great, great-grandmother who was a quarter black, you were black. You could be blond-haired and blue-eyed and look like you came straight out of a Riefenstahl film, and you were still considered black in America. Sure, we've relaxed those standards a bit, but being half-white and half-black still makes you black.
He is? Has Obama even mentioned the ZipLock Twit?
