Fox is a racist organization? Oh boy!!! Here we go again. The same Glenn was on CNN for so many years. Are you then going to tell us CNN is also racist? I mean what exactly makes the man a racist?  You claim Glenn called Obama a racist, how does that then make Glenn a racist? Are you implying that anyone who calls Obama a racist IS a racist?

Okay maybe Beck is not racist. But what he said was incredibly stupid. How is Obama racist, after all he is of mixed race. Too many people just claim racism any how and it is cheapening the struggles of the real victims of racism. In my book someone who falsely accuses another person of racism is committing an offense as bad as the racist themselves.

first of all what happened in new jersey and virginia is nothing new. these two states have their gubernatorial election a yr after a presidential election. for the past ~24 yrs new jersey always elects the opposite party from the white house. and for virginia, extend it to the past 36yrs or so. so its nothing new.

secondly, i have no tears for jon corzine. the bomboclaat was a top hillary supporter that helped prolong the bitter democratic primaries last yr. he came back with the kind of dirty politics they used last yr and he paid for it. why obama chose to campaign for such a hoodlum baffles me. this guy was so unpopular even a cat would have beaten him in that election.

for descriptive purposes, my definition of a moderate republican is a republican with common sense. the two guys in new jersey and virginia fit that description. just like old john, lindsey graham, etc pallin and her ever growing band of wingnuts lack it grin . . . well, poor romney, poor gingrich, poor pawlenti, even huckabee grin

No doubt Corzine is a fool cool. But please what dirty politics did Hillary play last year. So you wanted her to just hand Obama the nomination because you liked him grin, even though she was still in a position to win. Where was the dirty politics she played cos if my memory serves me correctly it was her and her husband who were unfairly called racists for questioning Obama's questionable record. It was her who was called all sorts of disgusting names by Obama supporters and surrogates because she didn't just lay down and die when some wanted an Obama victory. Hillary fought the way anyone would for the right to be president. It is not dirty politics to do that. As for why Obama campaigned for a hoodlum like Corzine? well you know what they say about birds of a feather wink wink

I would first consider the context in which the statement was made before I decide if I agree with you that the statement is stupid, or not. Sure, too many people claim racism and if you are honest, you would at least admit that a vast Majority of those who do are not, hispanic, white, asian, or even arab, but black(i.e african american or african). Sure it cheapens the struggles of the real victims, especially those of non-black race.

just like those who parade the president as hitler cheapens the feelings of those who suffered under hitler's 3rd reich.

and those who talk of socialism too
