From the September 22 edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck:

It's a secret plot to subvert grouchy white men!
BOOWA HA HA HA HA!
Beck has a history of doing just about anything for attention and this is just his latest shtick. Glenn Beck cares about one thing and that is obviously himself. Self-absorbed doesn't quite do it; sociopath might.
Let's all get on our knees and pray for him and protection for his staff.
She DOES get paid for it! Feauxliberal is an employee of Faux News and a paid troll. I've confronted her about this dozens of times, and she has yet to deny it.
Don't believe me? Then YOU explain this sort of fawning, sycophantic behavior, this continual reciting of the roster of Faux News Channel's faux liberals, and her ubiquitous citing of the Faux News Channel's ratings?
It is a sad sad state that this guy is on NATIONAL TV, this is stuff you should only hear on radio and see on websites/youtube videos.
Basically you will have to hire someone not based on their qualifications but based on their race, gender or what ever else the government will mandate.
That to me sounds unreasonable to be told who and why to hire someone. As a business man I will close my doors and retire I already have to maintain a certain work force in order to bid on work and it is not fair at all. I have to carry people for a job and they know it they can be some of the worse employees.
That is what has happened to health care the government has placed rule after rule on them and force the company into positions, yet
everyone thinks it is the "greedy capitalists" that are doing it.
The government needs to cut taxes to the bones and cut all the government programs that we have and can not afford. Get rid of social security and put the money back in our checks.
The government is not here to be our mommy or daddy they are not here to make sure we have a retirement, health care or a education. Get rid of the public school system they dont teach kids any more let private business care them over and pay teachers what they are worth
Care to elaborate? Or should we just assume you mean "those people".
And you guys wonder why you're accused of being racists.
That doesn't sounds all that good to me but I guess in the Constitution there is something that says everyone has the right to a job no matter what even if they are not willing or qualified, all they have to be is the correct ethnicity, sex or religion.
I missed that in my studies at the jr college I guess they just teach that at Harvard or Yale type schools.
My job requires that I wear a suit every day to work, if it really bothered me that much, I would just find another employer or line of work. You seem to feel you are entitled to having everything your way all of the time as you see it.
Personally, I cannot see how a minority or anyone else would want to work for an employer who apparently seems to think that minorities are useless and inherently not qualified for the job.
If you have a specific example of a law or story from a reputable source, please post it so I can figure out what you are getting at here.
As openmind says, the government does no such thing. The law only says that you can't refuse to hire someone who's qualified if your only basis for refusal is that person's race (or sex, etc.). That is about a universe away from dictating your work force and forcing you to hire unqualified minorities.
Then after reading your documentation the EEOC launches a investigation any way.
Bottom line he says the government has all the power and this person knows it that is way he went to the EEOC, because he can and will win every time no matter what evidence you have.
Secondly, if someone really is a lousy worker, it is very easy to document the ways in which they failed to do their job. Most businesses have no problem with the EEOC ever.
You will be gently told how different agencies will visit you regularly to ensure you are playing by all rules.
As a business man you play by the government rules or you don't play at all.
But that NEVER happens!?!?!?!?
Again, racist much?
They need to be helped or you need to dumb down the standard in order for a certain group to be admitted. Why if you are looking for the best and brightest but then you have to take the not so qualified where is the fairness in that??
Thank you for re-affirming why we do this.
I don't know about that; there seems to be bidding war for the CEO's who destroyed the economy by selling worthless mortgages. Their bonuses certainly haven't been effected.
Racist much?
But I just can't understand having the problem that HE has with that quote.
If you still believe this is indeed the case, show some examples where this happens. I would love to see that.
White people like you and me, who have always enjoyed an upper hand, are not accustomed to sharing power with gays and people of color, like the black Obama's black guy in the photo wants to do.
Doesn't he realize that under our system of government, NOT EVEN COUNTING THE 10th AMENDMENT, almost NONE of the laws that govern us are enumerated in the constitution, and that neither Rep. or Dem. administrations, and neither intelligent liberals or conservatives, have argued it should be any other way?
Where? Here, on this discussion board?
Are you asking because you dislike that the statement I made isn't that which is acknowledged by pundits/politicians, or because you think it's a good point and just want to talk about it?
Not flaming you, just like to know with whom I'm speaking.
YOU look for information on television?
Seriously?
Ever heard of GOOGLE?
Van Jones renounced his rowdy black nationalism on the way toward becoming an influential leader of the new progressive politics...
Quite the independent thinker, aren't you?
