Beck suggests Obama is a "slavemaster"

From the January 11 edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck:

Just my opinion. Let's see how long it takes for the first string of insults.
Unless slavemaster is a term that can no longer be used to describe people who want power.
I suspect that MMs is trying to tie this together with his comment that Obama is racist. Still, I think it's a stretch.
Beck is an uneducated boob who thinks way too much of himself.
Wait a second -- MMFA never mentioned race in this post, and MMFA didn't "tie this" to anything in this posting. Suggesting that the President of the United States aspires and plots to be a slavemaster is plenty controversial on its own. What makes you think there's anything racial about this beyond Beck's own use of the word "slavemaster" and the history of slavery in the United States?
It is a story and Beck is a racist.
I think a more accurate headline would be: "Beck suggests Obama is a 'slavemaster'; A1dork relays what he thinks Beck meant [again]"
It's not that big of a deal.
He didn't even say OABAMA specifically is a slave master. He was talking about the best way to BECOME or BE a slave master.
Could not communist regimes who control what jobs people get be likened to slave masters?
You're the one who first raised the subject of race and racism in the discussion of this post, k1dork. I'm only asking you what you think the value of Beck's reference to the word "slavemaster" is if you truly believe that the word has no implications beyond "superior".
Truly, yours is a fascinating view, k1dork: you seem to think that the significant difference between a Wendy's manager and the President of the United States is one of location, and that there's no meaningful distinction between the words "slavemaster" and "superior".
Oh, and I don't care a flip about the political clubs. You want to owe allegiance to a political club which cares about nothing but money in its pocket, fine with me. I care more about my country.
Who's not allowing anyone to talk about slavery? By all means, talk away.
Yeah, bintx: the difference between owning slaves, employing employees under cpaitalism, and serving as the democratically elected chief executive of a country isn't a big deal. I had no idea k1dork was such a critic of capitalism and democracy

Yeah, he pretty much SUGGESTED that Obama is a slavemaster.
For an "English major," you're not very good with synonyms and definitions.
BTW, George W. Bush was a non-conservative tool. Never voted for him for anything because of his incompetence and lack of intellectual curiosity. All it took was a quick look into his business record to see that he should never have held ANY political office of ANY kind.
What of it? After years of defending Bush, Beck decided it was okay to bash him a little near the end of his second term, and now on into the Obama years. Bush is wildly unpopular with much of the right for crashing the conservative movement (and the country) into a tree, so it's pretty safe territory for Beck. Plus, it gives him the added bonus of pretending to be a straight talking "independent."
Yes, he did. And I take issue with his characterization of Bush as a slavemaster as well. Don't you?
Chavez wants to nationalize Venezuela. The same thing other countries tried to do, but were shut down by the free market preadatory type style of capitalism. Obama is not the slavemaster. Corporations and the runaway child called Capitalism is. Everyone else is the slave!
