Color of Change Campaign Makes Glenn Beck Advertisers Leave

what a great way to express the disapproval of what mr beck ranted about, it's a nonn violent non hateful reaction.........rhankyou to those who withdrew advertising dollars

Racism is an overused and overblown accusation.

About the difference between racism and prejudice: Archie Bunker was prejudiced. A racist would not have allowed George Jefferson, his black neighbor, into the house. In the late sixties the word racism became the operative term.

Obama's positions are not racist, but tinged with racialism, prejudice, a tendency to view things with some universal standards and some "racial" standards. If not, how could have stayed in the pews of Rev. Wright's "racial" church all those years?

His knee-jerk reaction to support Gates, an elitist who looks down on working-class policemen and used racial epithets against one, derived from those positions of prejudice.

Even Jon Stewart, the super-lib comic of the "Daly Show", thought Obama had stepped into it. Obama then is prejudiced to some degree in his thinking.

The Ricci case was another example of racialism. Not promoting the white and one Hispanic firefighter because no one black got promoted is racial thinking, pure and simple. Sottomayor was overturned 9 to 0 on her procedural decision and 5 to 4 on the remainder.

Really, if you lived through the aftermath of the sixties and seventies, and you find yourself being judged on being "white" often enough (e.g., in Philadelphia I heard "we have a white devil teacher today") or the dozen of other examples I could give you, the last thing you want in your bi-racial president is a race-oriented agenda, especially one that is as knee-jerk as the one that prompted his defense of Gates.

But, what Beck has done here is use the same "logic" on Barack Obama that Rev. Wright and Gates and Obama himself use on whites.

Last point: not having a father figure and not having one of African heritage in his household is the problem here. Obama has idealized the father who abandoned him and the tendency toward "racialism" started there with the idealizing ofhis father and blaming a racist world, which did exist and still exists, for the personal shortcomings of an egomaniacal and alcoholic father.

Obama actually has a store of anger to express about the man, but Obama is in denial about it. To express the anger about his father would be to express his own sense of being wounded and helpless.

Narcissism is a defense against all of that, and that is why Obama is "racial" in his outlook.

The practice of analyzing and diagnosing alleged mental illness of the President, devoid of interaction with the named subject, is truly devoid of any empirical evidence, due to lack of interaction with the subject and an exercise, in and of itself, that is completely illogical.

keithinala, you need to control your attitude about Canadians.....after all, if it wasn't for them, you wouldn't have this site. Besides, your attitude to Tina is not acceptable around here, it's very disrespectful  to an editor OF this site.

And QueensHart, if you think this country is so stupid, what are you still doing here? you may leave by any of 4 directions, take your pick.

If you believe Obama is racist, I have some trinkets from Beck's Mormon church to sell you. One is a lime pit from the basement of a Mormon temple. Oh wait, that means you'd have 5 directions to go to get out of this country

If one thing Fox has proven is that it doesn't matter what the truth is, it's the money that counts. 

If Becks makes Fox more money by being a  . . . well . . . whatever he is, he will stay and people will say he speaks truth, as the dollars flow.

If he starts to lose money, he will be thrown under the bus and someone else will be given the baton.

Of course, if that happens, many will follow him, saying he was telling the truth.

That is the saddest part of the business.

from a proud black conservative man...go beck. i don t think beck cares about how offended you fools get over calling obama(one bad ass mistake america) a racist. i'm not a bush fan-in fact i could not stand bush, however some of the bs that came from libs mouths was even more obsurb. i think you drones are overly sensitive about our first black president which tells me we will never get over this racial nonsense. you see i m a building contractor( with a bs in chemistry)  i have employees of all stripes working for me and i assure you i offend them all them all the same. in other words i could give a damn what people think of me just like beck. i watch his show from time to time and based on his ratings and based on his ratings he ll continue to stick it to this socialist. oh yeah according to carlos watson of msnbc socialist is the new n word. one day you libs will pull your heads out of your collective asses and wake up.(by the way when you do ill stand by and hand out toilet paper so you drones can wipe your faces) and as you drones go on telling me how wrong i am about hr3200(yes i am actually reading the bill read page 288-300 pretty scary) i continue to watch beck on occasion and laugh at you drones follow this fool over the cliff.

If colorofchange.org can voice it's opinion, why can't Glenn? It's "OK" for color of change to launch a campaign against Glenn Beck,  but its not "OK" for Beck to campaign against  Obama. (hmmmm! So much for that pesky little thing we call the 1st amendment)  It's amazing how you can be classified a "racist" if you are white and speakout, but not if you are black. hmmm! Where is Glenn's side of the story here? I guess its easier to bash someone when you only get one side of the story.  Go figure  

How quickly things have changed, and how thin-skinned are the righty-tighties! Short memories, too - remember the half-dozen churches strangled by IRS investigations because their pastors preached peace? No? Well that's probably because it was a Bush-era policy you seem to have forgotten... What about all the tax-paying citizens who were barred and even removed from Bush's speaking events because they were wearing t-shirts with slogans the administration didn't like - remember all them? No? Well, how convenient. Now there are shouters and haters with nazi-doting posters allowed face-to-face with Obama - so you tell me which side loves free speech more? And automatic-gun-toting protesters right outside the doors - never was anything remotely similar allowed by Bush. It's very, VERY clear to this Republican which side is true-blue American - and sorry, guys, but it ain't you!
