Glenn Beck's career

[SoonerCoug]

I predict that Glenn Beck's career will be over soon. Maybe it won't be because he called Obama a racist, but sooner or later this kind of talk is going to catch up with him.

Is that your hope, Sooner?

Do you think Obama is a racist?

[JohnnyLingo]

Do you think Obama is a racist?

Uh uh, I asked first. Answer my question and I'll answer yours.

[FMCoug]

Do you think Obama is a racist?

We have learned on CUF that's impossible. No black man can be a racist.

You and I are on opposite ends of the political spectrum, and I agree with you on this one. Glenn Beck is an idiot.

Back it up. What exactly offends you so badly in this clip?

This is the root. Sooner, as a liberal, believes it is a complete, logical impossibility for a black man to be racist. As such, Beck is a raging moron, incapable of rational thought.

President Obama could go on a killing spree, singling out whites, writing a manifesto against whites, and snipe 34 individuals before he was stopped. Sooner and Robin would still not call him racist.

Yeah. Beck is of very little interest to me as well.

Two conservative Mormons that don't care of Beck. Not a good sign.

I never watch him and have no interest in doing so. So that's three.

I did have a chance meeting with him once. Very nice guy in person.

He seems like a nice guy. I'm so puzzled by his appeal. And that is coming from someone that often enjoys Limbaugh, although I can't at all understand Limbaugh's Palin-love.

Make it four. I've been done with conservative talk radio for a long time because it is SO predictable. I will occassionally listen to Laura Ingraham and she is at least smart; Rush who I have not listened to in years has a big brain and is entertaining but I can't do him for more than fifteen minutes. But I can't distinguish Beck from Hannity from a bunch of other party liners who all have Obama at the center of a conspiracy to destroy America and eat our children.

I don't like Olberman or Maddow for the same reasons, though Maddow I think is smart enough not to be that way but is trying to be the liberal equivalent of those other guys. Despite his biases I continue to like Chris Matthews; O'Reilly as well, though I never tune in to either intentionally. I was much more into pundits when I was at a phase of my life when I was looking for people to make sense of things for me, maybe when I was first in college.

I didn't watch the clip because I don't like him and I wasn't going to waste my time. For me, he secured a place in the hall of shame when he advocated a return to the gold standard.

I found this audio clip on Beck's site where he defends his comments.

Anyone care to listen and comment?

If you can get Hugh Hewitt in your area, you may like him. He's conservative but focuses on having a smart show -- good guests from both sides of the aisle, good respectful interviews, no craziness. He also prepares thoroughly for interviews, unlike many of those jokers.
