          Reminds me of the Bruce Campbell Old Spice commercial a few years ago with the ship painting stretching on for yards and yards. Though that was a lot more entertaining and a lot less paranoid ranting.

      Glenda could really save himself some time and could save the few functioning brain cells he has left if he would learn one thing: We African Americans have a lot of experience dealing with folks like him. He'll never get a direct response from the president because he's not worth one second of his time. We generally ignore the type of BS that Glenda cooks up on a regular basis. Glenda is a fool. Words don't stop progress, and they don't cause people to put their lives on hold.

      No, McCarthy was NOT right. Davis was NOT Obama's mentor. Davis lived in Hawaii and was a friend of Obama's WHITE grandfather. He died when Obama was 26 . . . 8 years after Obama left Hawaii to go to school.

      Beck didn't tie anyone to anything, he just threw out names and Marxism hoping that something would stick. He's such a piece of dirt.

        Frank Davis might have given the very young Obama a sense of himself as a Black man. I am charmed by the President's description that was repeated by Wikipedia: "It made me smile, thinking back on Frank and his old Black Power, dashiki self. In some ways he was as incurable as my mother, as certain in his faith, living in the same sixties time warp that Hawaii had created." He sounds more amused by Frank than indoctrinated. Davis spent many years in Hawaii, which still doesn't have much of a Black community in comparison to other groups, he may very well have attracted the attentions of the Dunham family, trying to do right by young Barack.

          Apparently, Mr. Dunnam and Davis grew up within 50 miles of each other, but they didn't meet until Hawaii. They had a memory connection.

          Obama most likely spent very little real time with Davis. Davis was his grandfather's friend. Obama was only around him for about 8 years and most of that time was as a teenager. Teenagers don't hang around 80 year old men very much.

            Yes, and an 80 year old firebrand runninng around in a dashiki would be especially amusing to a teenager. Frank Davis was a respected poet and teacher, there are worse people he could have known. I know, it's a really lame attempt by conservatives to tar him with anything they can. Hey, I knew a Communist while I was in college, we even lived in the same rooming house. I remember her because she was sort of famous in Eugene because she and her friends were Communists, but she probably doesn't remember me at all, I was just someone else in the building. If I was in politics, I am sure they would try to hang her around my neck.

      Beck never pledged to stop talking about Obama's family. He pledged to never talk about his children again. Let us keep the facts straight and not distort the actual truth. You know the truth? It is the opposite of falsehood.

        Beck's actual words were thus:
        "there is absolutely no excuse or reason to ever, ever, ever, ever even come close to the line of dragging somebody's family into the debate." (said June 1st, during the show where he pointedly DIDN'T apologize for his Malia impression...)

        Yep, we know the difference, but apparently, you do not. Beck, the man who calls people like you who believe his schtick "idiots," quite clearly said that there was no excuse to "ever, ever, ever, ever even come close to the line of dragging somebody's family into the debate," on his program of June 1, 2010.

        So, let us keep the facts straight and not distort the actual truth. You know, the truth? It is the opposite of falsehood.

          Hey, if you dont like Glenn Beck then dont watch his show. If you think that he is such a joke then why do you keep monitoring his show. Obviously he is accurate or you wouldnt attempt to discredit him.
