Thank you, thank you! Now that's the way to construct a post.

Omega, take heed.

Honestly, you don't capture what Beck does or means by getting sound bites in isolation and then making worst case cometary. You have to watch him.

Usually when he says something like Obama has a deep seated hate for white people, there is more to it. He would say something like Knowing that Obama sat in Rev Wrights Church for 20 years with the things he says, a church that gave the racist Lewis Faricon an award last year, tell me it ain't so, but it leads me to believe Obama has "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture." Tell me it ain't so! And that could have been in response to a bunch of people calling everyone who criticized Obama, like the tea party protesters as having to be racist.

Glen Beck is flippant, he uses a lot of irony and sarcasm. He make numerous humorisims. He uses comparables such as if you say this guy is that, then by the same token you must be this.

I saw him toss a plastic frog in boiling water and act like it was a real one. He then explained it was plastic right after. Bites went out of him boiling a live frog when they knew it was a lie. Those are the people setting up you Beck sound bites.

You can't take his words and judge what he says without watching the show. Unless fairness is not the objective.
