It's quite clear that Glenn Beck is scared of black people & make his bucks off of fear of them
Most, if not all of his targets are black activists of all types (Political, religious, labor based, environmental and civil rights)

In his mind, no black person has a right to complain, organize and work to make things better.

Black activists and their allies are the greatest threat to the corporate infused system of white privilege in America.

To Beck, that system is the core of the American way of life.. And when we have a mixed raced President who has close ties to the activism movement in this country, it really causes a racist bastard like Beck to crap Buicks in his Underoos.

His cause for paranoia is all too real. And as a paranoid, an ability to think clearly (If he ever possessed such a capacity) is completely non-existent.

Plus, Fox News and all of the so-called "analysts" who appear on his show are nothing but people who are enabling his rampant paranoia.

He's being paid an exorbitant amount of money to lose his fucking racist mind on TV.

No one is doing this loser any favors at all, especially himself.

1. He is mormon afterall.

And, we know their history in regards to black people.

Most of the RW pundits I would say don't actually believe the shit that comes from their mouth. They are just saying it to make money off the rubes. Beck is a bird of a different color though. I really believe he is crazy enough to believe his hateful, conspiracy bullshit.

2. It's worse than that - he nows exactly what he's doing
He may not be scared shitless of blacks but he knows the subhumans that make up his audience are. So he feeds them the line of crap that confirms their dumbass ideas and nourishes their paranoid fears.

Why? He's caught on to who is the dumbest most naive most gullible subgroup of brain dead pieces a crap in the country (poor white rednecks especially fundamentalist religious ones) and he's tailored his message to them so he can make a brazillion dollars by doing it.

If these people weren't so stupid and violence prone it would be almost comical.

3. He has only one real motivation: sell his damn books.

4. A while back he said he didn't try to make friends with anyone who's black.

He worried too much that something he'd say would be taken as racist. Ya think? Glenn Beck? I did see him interviewing Star Parker, once, and he noticeably had the hots for her, but then her niche is as a black conservative who makes racist whites feel comfortable by sliming blacks as criminals, welfare-loafers, and socially dysfunctional in every way.

You can look in at the ravings of the shitstain at Twitter, by the way: @glennbeck

5. I heard that Ashley Furniture is still sponsoring Beck.
...along with a bunch of fourth-rate outfits. I wrote to Ashley to get it confirmed, telling them that my about-to-be-bought new living room furniture will NOT come from Ashley if this is true. We'll see what they say in response.

I will not buy from any Glenn Beck sponsor, full stop.

7. I've never seen his TV bullshit



but I've heard enough of him on radio to know he's seriously fucked up in the head.

Frankly I don't think it will be much longer before he goes through a total emotional collapse.

Then we won't be bothered with this asshole any more.

8. A lot of the attraction of the right-wing is based on racism
Right-wingers will swear up and down that they're not racist, but in their unguarded moments, they'll say things like

> I don't like riding buses with "the diversity" (Self-explanatory)

> That suburb has been ruined. It's like the African jungle now. (Translation: Liberian refugees, the core workforce of the nursing homes in the Twin Cities, live there.)

> I don't go downtown anymore because of all the gangbangers hanging out at the bus stops. (Translation: A lot of young African-Americans, Liberians, and Somalis transfer buses there on their way to work or school.)

They make even nastier comments about health care, listing whose health care they don't want to pay for in crudely racist terms.

9. Stick a fork in Beck
He dropped ten more advertisers today bringing the total to 46.

He's done.
