is Glenn Beck for real?

But I guess facts don't matter when you're making an emotionally based argument to begin with.

Exactly. Kind of like Obama saying the cops acted stupidly in the first place despite the facts.

Sure, if you want to draw that type of comparison.

For the record I do not think that Obama is racist. I do however think he was acting stupidly when he said the Cambridge police were, ummm, acting stupidly. I don't care if he felt that way about the situation, it should have been left unsaid.

I would compare Beck's charge of racism to those who charged Bush of being racist because of the Katrina response. Both statements are irresponsible and neither statement has any credibility.

While I don't believe the President to be a racist, I do believe he allowed his personal friendship with Gates to cloud his judgement and make the statement he did without all the facts.
