Well, lets talk about Glenn Beck? Now, is he a racist as some on the left have claimed? Well, that is their opinion of the man, and you know the thing
about opinions, and it relates to our posteriors, which everyone has. I have no idea if he is a racist, and personally, I don't care. That is his
personal business. I can maybe count on my hand how many times I have seen his show whether it is on FOX or when he was on CNN-HLN. I have just never
had any interest in the bag of goods he is trying to sell. Personally, there is something about the man that does rub right with me.
He seems disingenuous about his views and stances on particular topics. Personally, I think he is out to elevate himself first and foremost, rather
than, progressively elevate America, as he would like you and I to believe, he is doing. He is not the only one I feel this way about, because they
are others guilty of the same thing on both sides of the political divide in the MSM. Politicians and media professionals are looking more and more
the same everyday, one whores themselves for votes, while the other, whores themselves for ratings and fame. More on Beck, I think his shtick is
rather cheap and tacky. The whole crying thing is way over the top and only making him look like a fool.
Now, this is a modern news man that we should listen to and value their analysis on the topics of the day? It is truly disgusting how low this guy
will go to ram his asinine opinions down our throats from his bully pulpit. This is not a rail against Glenn Beck, but all of them, on both sides of
the spectrum. Phew! I am happy I have gotten that off my chest.
Now, for the topic at hand. Glenn Beck's foray into the black experience in America. Personally, I have no idea what his aim was behind that show and
I watched all the clips. I heard a lot of talk about Barack Obama and if they voted for him. That alone should raise alarms about his candor on the
real reason he gathered those folks on his show. Plus, I heard a lot of Conservative talking points from his guests which should raise other alarm
bells. Was he truly trying to look at the black experience in America through an object sociological lense, or one, with an underlying political
agenda, walking the line of the of the left right paradigm in this country? From what I saw, I am under the assumption that he was, and once again,
taking the American people for ride. Just my opinion on the subject. Oh yes, and another note, could this be in response by his master's at FOX News
to Soledad O'Brian's show "Black in America," which previously aired on CNN? Could it just be war against the networks, and nothing more?
