      Hmmmm...sounds vaguely familiar. Where's k1dork?

      And, yes, Glenn...FOX News is not a legitimate news organization. It's a place where viewers go to have their far right wing, intolerant, jingoistic, bigoted views reinforced. And By Golly! FOX does a helluva job reinforcing them...

          When did Media Matters ever pretend to be a news organization...like FOX News pretends 24/7?

            It is a news organization. They also have many opion shows. Not that difficult of a concept, really.

              Media Matters isn't a news organization and neither is Fox. Fox has admitted that only 7 hours of its 24 hour programming could be called "news." Even that claim is debatable.

              What time do you have to be at the studio, dork?

      All of a sudden you're an expert on racism now, Glenn? Oh, that's right, you labeled our own president a racist. Good one.

        What galls me is that Beck's experience with black people, by his own admission, is limited...and he feels uneasy around them. Someone who knows as little about black people as Glenn Beck does should keep his big mouth shut. But yet here is Beck speaking with authority about what Barack Obama or some other black person meant when he said this or that and accusing them of racism. How the hell would Glenn Beck know what a black person means? How would Glenn Beck know what a black person is thinking? Glenn Beck doesn't even have black friends! He even says he comes from the "whitest of white" towns. And Glenn Beck is an expert on race relations...?

          Your comment knocks it out of the ballpark. You accurately describe the situation as it exists, not as the nation wants us to see it, which basically constitutes a scam, IMHO because it's not reality-based. I have advanced degrees in education, and taught 33 years until retirement last year, and my white colleagues never fully accepted me. I graduated from UGA in '74 and some of them had graduated since then, but somehow or other for some reason or other they sent me a subtle, but clear message that my degree was less valuable than theirs, and that they thought I was an affirmative action candidate. I wasn't. My high school grades were good, SAT score was good, graduated from UGA in 3 years by overloading classes. It wasn't good enough for them because they had to let me know that I was black and thus, a strange psuedo-human, and since this is GA, they have no propensity to change. It works for them along with hating and discriminating against other people of color and LGBTQ persons for no other reason than thee fact that they can get away with it.

      Glenn, we liberals don't have to smear you with the false charge of racism. All we have to do is let you talk, and you do a great job of proving our points for us. The same is also true for your fellow Foxtarts and Foxterds. The evidence is there in your own words and deeds. And the charge that you are just a wing of the Republican party is not a new one, it was made in the movie "OutFoxed" which was done nearly six years ago. Christiane Amanpour is one of two people who make the charge in the movie. Anita Dunn was just a lawyer in Chicago in those days, and Obama wasn't known outside of Illinois yet. So, all I have to say is, if the shoe fits, wear it.

      * Unless you're me, Glenn Beck, calling the President of the United States a "racist" on national television. That's NOT a lamentable offense.

      Beck -- Beck! -- laments hollow cries of racism

      My thing is we all came here via some way of illegal immigration in everyones family's history. It is all about whether you want to come here and become a citizen or come here and work under the table via payment of corporations looking to save a dollar or sale narcotics.

      Corporations and drug traffic sales are the problem with Illegal immigration not progressives becky.

        By the way, don't you love how these unfunny tools characterize Media Matters as "the angriest left-wing organization in the world"? Sounds so O'Reilly-esque.
