On Fox & Friends today, Glenn Beck called Obama "a racist" during a discussion of how the president handled the arrest of Henry Louis Gates.
"This president, I think, has exposed himself as a guy, over and over and over again, who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture," Beck said. "I don't know what it is."
Following up on Beck's ridiculous claim, Fox's Brian Kilmeade pointed out that Obama is surrounded by white advisers like David Axelrod, Robert Gibbs and Rahm Emanuel.
"I'm not saying he doesn't like white people," Beck said. "I'm saying he has a problem. He has a -- this guy is, I believe, a racist."

Now they're all tip toeing around the subject of "Is the President a racist?" Yet, Beck had nothing to back him up when it came to Obama; no STILL accusing a group of white teens of raping someone, no tweets to point at, no demanding white people apologize to him, no demonizing the other... and Obama gets called things that they deny Trump is.
And yet they say "You Democrats say everything is racist"
So, if nothing else, remember this post.

(16,254 posts)He's trying to make a point in favor of Trump and against Obama where there is none.
Very little Beck says is true.
Isn't he one who talks with Trump every night? Beck and Hannity?

"He's wearing a bike helmet!", "Maybe low gas prices are a bad thing!", "Radical!", "Marxist!", "Secret Muslim!", and "TAN SUIT!" moments and the "He's not a politician!", "He's not politically correct!", "Stop being a social justice warrior about it!" moments for this President.
Warning: Don't do it if you don't want to get really ticked off.
