Beck Apologizes For Calling Obama a Racist

Beck apologizes for calling Obama a 'racist', did not start civil rights movement

Aug. 27, 2010, 2:45 p.m. - Talk host Glenn Beck today said he made a mistake when he called President Barack Obama a "racist" during an interview last year.

"I did not understand his liberation theology," Beck told XM 169 morning host Joe Madison.

It was Beck's first apology since July of last year, when he accused the nation's half-white president of being a bigot on "On Fox & Friends" - Beck was discussing the Henry Louis Gates arrest.

"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."

The next day, Beck restated the remarks: "I think the president is a racist."

I cant wait for the story that is going to end this mans public career.

Its going to come because he is so obviously an unbalenced man.

lol, funny thing..a lot of people are saying that same thing about the boyking, Obama.:lol:

Obama isn't crazy. He just doesn't care about anything other then himself. He doesn't mean what he says or say what he means. He's lazy, refuses to take blame, takes credit when he doesn't deserve it. This weekend he plans on bragging about success in Iraq when he had nothing to do with it and said it would never happen. It's gonna be funny listening to him take credit for the surge he said would never work.
 
Obama exhibits narcissistic tendencies.

Extreme infatuation with oneself, self-centered, expects to be recognized as superior

Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited power, success, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

Takes advantage of others to achieve his needs

Demonstrates a constant need for admiration or approval

Exaggerates personal achievements while minimizing those of others

Is convinced that he is unique

Feels entitled to special treatment and that rules frequently don’t apply to him

Very charismatic or charming at first, but can quickly switch from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde without apparent cause

Demands compliance with his expectations

Is unable to demonstrate or understand empathy or compassion

Does not seem to feel real happiness or positive emotions

Often criticizes and/or puts others down

Assumes himself to be more knowledgeable than those around him

Quick to anger or feel insulted or slighted

Denies he has issues to work on – sees himself as nearly perfect

May often take unnecessary risks

Frequently humiliates or abuses others, although he doesn’t see it as abuse

Sulks when he doesn’t get his way

Nothing is ever his fault

Exaggerates the truth or blatantly lies

Rarely treats anyone with respect or kindness

Doesn’t acknowledge or respect other’s boundaries

Always wants to be in control

May drink and drive regularly

His needs for attention, time, and space matter – yours do not

Has difficulty putting himself in another’s shoes

Rarely recognizes the accomplishments or abilities of others

Doesn’t appear to have a conscience

Does not take criticism well and becomes defensive easily

Rarely expresses appreciation of others

Is easily hurt and insulted

Considers most others in the world “idiots”

Shows no feelings of remorse or guilt for his mistakes or the hurts he dishes out

Wins most arguments through the use of rationalizing his behavior

Blames others for all his problems

Frequently complains that whatever you do, it isn’t “good enough”

Is often paranoid – thinks people are talking about him behind his back

Has a hard time accepting the opinions or ideas of others

Always has to win any argument

Is often envious of others, or thinks others envy him

Rarely can understand another’s point of view

Hates to stand in line – he shouldn’t have to, as his time is more valuable than others

Hates to be thought of as ordinary or average

Is desperate to have the biggest house, car, bank account, or title

Progressives hate Free Speech
 
I believe that Obama does have some torn feelings about the White race. He was a biracial child in an era that was very uncomfortable, at best, with interracial marriage. He had to have experienced some negativity regarding that reality.

I'll never forget, back in '68, when my divorced mother rented out our house to a biracial couple, who had two children. That was very, very counter culturally strange back then. I can't imagine that Obama didn't escape some hurtful comments while growing up. His White grandparents had to have been in shock. Biracial children where totally out of the norm back then. Many of you have no idea how strange it must have been for Pres Obama. There's no way he couldn't have been affected by it.

You have to understand that they don't care. They don't want to see reason in any of this. They just want to jump the gun and call him racist because it then validates full-fledged white victimhood. There's definitely an end entailed in these means.

Why do you supposed Beck would have waited one year to apologize? It makes him look good for the apology on the one hand, but it's also so far removed from the event that not as many people will hear about it, therefore mostly negating any annulment of the original statements. This apology was strategic, and ill conceived,:doubt:

You pretty much nailed it, here.

A sincere apology, in and of itself, is fine. I don't know for sure if he is sincerely sorry for calling Obama a racist. But I do know what I think.

I think Beck is smart enough to have calculated this move beforehand. Taken in conjunction with his speech thing at the Lincoln memorial, I wouldn't be surprised if these are pieces of a long-term plan to sink his claws into the black conservative market. Nothing wrong with that, I'm just seeing this as a marketing strategy, and not a display of bleeding-heart regret.

This guy is an entertainer, first and foremost, and his ratings balloon with controversy. He cries, draws on a chalkboard, looks for ways to expand his audience, then laughs all the way to the bank. That's the motivation I see which negates sincerity from the apology, imo.
 
If I'm understanding this.... Beck was wrong to call Obama a racist. He apologizes for that remark and he's still wrong.

OK. Got it. The left just hate Beck. How sad.

I love it when liberals think that people that are just telling the truth are just conspiring to do something underhanded....then turn around and swallow every lie the left feeds them.

Glenn Beck is just a concerned citizen (I know being one is unpopular) who is speaking out against this runaway government. He's trying to make everyone aware of what's going on....and all he gets is death-threats and criticism for it.

he is no different than you.....you both tell the "truth" as you both see it....a little twist here,a little twist there.....ah....the truth....

geez.....how long did you have to sit there and come up with all that shit?.....:eusa_eh:
 
obama hates the fact that his alcoholic polygamist dad impregnated a socialist white hippie.

does that make him a racist?

probably not.

No, but your post provides clear and convincing evidence that you're a stupid racist asshole.

the man hates his white mother and grandmother, the people who raised him, yet identifies with the man who abandoned the family to impregnate multiple other women.

no wonder 95% of blacks approve of the job he's doing.

And you know this how??? What an asshole you are.
