Glenn Beck Calls Barack "Osama," Says Obama Is An "Unfortunate Name"

On Monday's "Good Morning America," Glenn Beck "accidentally" referred to Barack Obama as "Osama," calling Barack's last name "unfortunate." While the Obama/Osama mix-up was described as one of 2007's biggest media mistakes, the conservative pundit may well have ulterior motives.

Watch:

On Monday's "Good Morning America," conservative radio and TV personality Glenn Beck mixed up Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden, saying "I think Osama -- unfortunate name, Obama" is a relatable candidate.

Yeah well, this is from the idiot who thinks Political Correctness is the most important thing facing the United States of America today.
Not the sick and unemployed. Not education, not terrorist or poisoned toys from china, no Bush, not a million other things that are actually harming and in some cases killing Americans. Nope, Spin Beck thinks because someone tells radical racist republicans ( the RRR, modern day KKK) they shouldnt say the N word.

That, and also he is upset and thinks Fluorescent bulbs are a conspiracy from environmentalist and is strictly against them even if they would save him 100s a year on electric bills. But hey, this self proclaimed moron is getting 50 million dollars to use his supreme stupidity to sway peoples opinions so they too will blindly allow the destruction of the United States of America, and think its a wonder thing the whole time its happening.
Usually species Evolve. In the case of us Americans, we seem to be Devolving.

Sorry, a rampant bigot, brain-dead dry drunk like Beck has no place in prime time anywhere, let alone in America. Freedom of speech does not require the provision of time on CNN and ABC that fools like Beck can muck up our thoughts, particularly in the holiday season, with confused thinking that he can't keep separate a "Ten Most Wanted List Murderer", ... oh, ... that's right, Osama is not that. Anyway, ... Obama is a Senator in the United States Senate, ... one of only 100, ... and even an old white guy like me can keep track of his position and his presence.

So, Mr. Beck, get over yourself, and your Islamophobia, and your pretending to middle America that you can't keep it straight, who is Obama, candidate for President, ... and who is Osama, ... the man the Fuehrer allowed to go free on multiple occasions during his two terms in the White House!

Take Beck off the air. Now.

The "mistake" a lot of right-wingers tend to make regarding Obama's name said more about their bigotry than anything else.

Beck is a tool, a well paid tool. But a tool none the less.

What a turd! He has seriously stooped to the lows of Rush, Savage, and Coulter. Take him off of the air, please!
