Finally the Spirit has spoken through Beck!
You can now prove that your statements on this unedited clip by FOX about amending your words are true.
The next time, you or the unnamed children who co-host with you, go back 20-30 years and use a quote from someone, you must promise to research to see if the quote was correct and if the person has retracted, updated or restated thier position.
You are acting like the victim concerning your racist statement so you should realize that you MAKING people victims is not right.
Mr. Beck, if you confirm this on TV/radio by your actions, then we will accept your amendment. Until then, you are the old Glenn Beck.

She was having a bad day, and that cheered her right up.
When the right wing meme was: he is black,so he must be a racist. When then got old, and it hit its mark with the intended targets it became, he is a secret Muslim. Now the latest as Hannity,and Limbaugh have said, it's liberation theology. Yes, and we all know who they are - Marxists and/or Communists.
Set yourself free Glenn, and just admit it. You just repeat what the slur of the week (month, year) that your bosses at Fox News tell you too.
Every time he is called out of something he still somehow manages not accept that he lied and was caught.
Ann Coulter is known for acting like that when she's talking into a camera. It's so annoying.
I have a bad feeling about Beck and his new-found religiosity.
Being the well disciplined charlatan that he is, he recognized the opportunity and pounced on it. Now he's America's Moses. Well not everybody's Moses... just the oppressed White Conservative Christian Majority.
What on earth is this man doing with an internationally broadcast program. Surely no patriotic citizen of the U.S. would wish to project such an immature, ill-informed, intellectually barren image of his or her homeland to the rest of the world.
Do Beck's cheer squad realise how much the rest of the world is laughing at them. The only relief from the hilarity is when compassion creeps in and we pity you poor people - the believers because they are so obviously in need of care and the non-believers because they are surrounded by a host of drongoes.
Imagine an alien, years from now, receiving these broadcasts and trying to determine: does this go in the Science Fiction, Religion, Game Shows, or Comedy section?
After the election, the faithful will be used to put through the agenda that these hidden powers have paid for.

I guarantee people will stop talking about it now, at least the typical, political Washington-types who always give the conservatives a pass. However, majority of people will always remember him for what he said. Whether he likes it or not, it's stuck with him for the rest of his life.
Yahoo is definitely part of the corporate media culture that parrots talking points.
Now, could you explain exactly what you meant by "white culture?"
By the way (and I may get smacked around for this), I believe Beck that he didn't mean it when he said Obama is a racist, but the fact that he wants to demonize him for being a "liberation theologist" now is just the typical swift-boating tactic that he loves to use.
