Glenn Beck, Time to be Heard: Black Conservatives, Crooks and Liars Retort

by the Left Coast Rebel

I wasn't able to actually catch the show live, recall that I touted the appearance of Clifton, and friends in their Friday the 13th Beck special. As Stogie at Saberpoint notes, Beck was in a lot of pain during the show's taping and thus didn't go the usual format that he does for a show like this; ie. dividing the audience in half then walking and talking amongst them. It seemed to turn out well regardless, Clifton is middle, rear with the grey sport coat and white shirt. I'm listing it here in segments:

Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 3:

Amazingly, and as inspiring and refreshing as these segments may be; the nutroots, (one in particular, a Crook and a Liar) are calling on Glenn Beck and the show as a 'dumb white guy asking questions'. The general pretense is on full display; that a conservative talk show host cannot possibly speak to a black audience from any point of validity, (to conservative blacks especially).

Beck is well....a raaaaacist simply because he is a conservative. How utterly predictable. Nothing we haven't heard a million times before. An 'F' for effort and an 'F' for originality.

And with that connotation of course comes all of the typical, usual diatribes and stipulations of Beck via the left - baseless accusations as motif for overt racism that only one other in American effectively uses today - Sarah Palin. Yes, Sarah Palin is a racist too, didn't you know? She references 'real Americans' as does Beck and for those that didn't know, that necessarily excludes blacks.

Also, Beck is to be chastised according to a Crook and a Liar for quoting Martin Luther King, (because he is not black) and he paints over the entire segregation/civil rights era foot dragging and obfuscation of the Democrat side in history. It's all the Republicans fault. Right Lincoln? Right? But these specifics matter not, as do elaboration of. Simply put; Crooks and Liars doesn't care for the Beck special and for black American conservatives because they do not fit the typical liberal modus operandi.

And as my black conservative friends will tell you, there is none more racist and demeaning than a do-gooder know-it-all racist-liberal that pretends to be the precise opposite.

For any doubt of this mentality on the left towards black conservatives, how about I bring you a few comments from the Crooks and Liars post. Now remember, oftentimes the comment section of a post represent the true, unhinged, uncensored response from both the author and his loyal readership. Read on, my contribution in dark red:

Embittered Angr...

Q U E S T I O N:

DOES GLEN BECK ASK THIS AUDIENCE HOW THEY THINK MICHAEL STEELE IS GROWING THE NUMBERS OF MINORITIES ELECTED FOR FEDERAL OFFICE IN THE G(no)P?

[Quit posting in ALL CAPS-Sitemonitor] (how about that dear reader, a sitemonitor going after ALL CAPS, are you encouraged for decorum)?

miss_kitty :

I'll bet some of King Zombie Beck's BFFs are Negroes, (hmm, not sure that is less incendiary than ALL CAPS).

Liberalicious :

Beck prefers to call them "niggras". (that's respectful, thank you sitemonitor for letting that one stand, ALL CAPS, no!)

pinkobait :

....I don't understand,like how any Black person could belong to the same party as Rush Limbaugh or the same party that scapegoats ACORN and other organizations devoted to raising folks up. ( pinkobait?)

Tyler Durden :

That is how the Southern Plantation culture prevailed: Most people in the south were dirt poor, wether they were white or black. There were very very few very very rich white people. However, the institutionalized racism allowed for the pitting of the poor black people vs. the poor white people. And thus making sure that any upheaval based on the sheer economic inequalities would be savotaged by the division among the people at the bottom.

That being said, given the history of this country... these black conservatives should be double shamed of themselves. But I assume, that just like their white counterparts, these assholes don't know or posses any sort of shame. (and I thought that I had it bad being a conservative in CA)

For anyone wondering, here is the comment policy at Crooks and Liars, I particulary like this part:

Comments that are abusive, offensive, contain racist or extremely profane material or violate the terms of service for this blog's host provider will be removed and the author(s) banned from future comments. It is far easier for us to ban an offending commenter than to get reinstated by the software censors.

A great comment policy. That is unless, of course; we are talking about black conservatives, at that point.....

Sheer garbage, masquerading as liberal-thought, (Shocker)
