Beck's Guest List Included White Supremacists, Other Extremists
Commented Nov 22, 2009 at 11:20:56 in Media
“So...their white nationalist populism includes isolationism...just like the American supporters of Nazism in the Thirties and Forties....and this is supposed to convince me of what?”

“I'm guessing that no neocons were mentioned simply because that wasn't the subject of the post. The post is concerned with Beck's promotion of the extreme paleoconservative right...people who share the politics of Taki Theodoracopulos, by the way. The fact that these people happen to be isolationists really isn't relevant.”

A Muslim Soldier's View from Fort Hood

“It means exactly what I said, yemaya. He doesn't want them to publically denounce the act, he wants them to denounce their religion, and the people who practice it, including themselves. Black people get the same treatment from people like "TX Independent". Why should uansari or any other Muslim American be required to let his/her coworkers know anything, any more than a white person should have let his/her coworkers know anything about how they feel about Tim McVeigh, for instance?”

“"...but the failures of America's Muslim to pubicly denounce some of these acts has always been my gripe"
What you really mean is your gripe is that they don't publically denounce themselves and their religion. Once again, as a black man, I can relate to Muslims when I read rhetoric like this.”

“acantus How do you know what I think?
I do think Christians should denounce abortion killings and other crimes in the name of their god.
I'm a southern boy from the hills of Appalachia and you better believe I let folks know I don't believe in or support the redneck ways that drag the south down.”

Walmart, CVS, Best Buy, GMAC Among 8 Major Companies To Pull Ads From Glenn Beck Show
Commented Aug 19, 2009 at 18:16:02 in Media
“When they say they never adverstised on Beck's show in the first place, what do they mean? I'm reading that claim in the context of all the other companies that have said they buy ad time on Fox in bulk, and haven't (until now) specified which show their commercials should or shouldn't be shown on. When P&G, etc. say they "never advertised on Glenn Beck to begin with", are they actually saying that they've never specifically requested that their commercials be shown on his show? I find it hard to believe that ads for P&G and Sargento products have never appeared on the Glenn Beck Show.”

“It's not a false division. Many of you KNOW you're being taken advantage of, but you can't help responding exactly like the powerful want you to every time they wave the idea that a black person may get something in front of your faces. Who are you trying to BS? You don't want to make common cause.”

“If I understand this correctly, you're using the word "you" to refer to whites in America as some kind of collective. That right there is enough to show that you have as little understanding of whites as these town hall protesters we've seen on the news have of other ethnicities. You can fight bigotry with bigotry, but you can't end bigotry with bigotry.”
