Not racist? Beck connects the fired ACORN workers to 400,000+ ACORN people to President Obama.
How are they connected?

First, they can all be tidily referred to as "these people."

"These people" are all soulless, depraved and despicable human beings
.
"These people" know nothing of decency, compassion nor how very much the Republican's love the inner city.

Apparently, "these people" all live together in the Capital Building where they should be surrounded by Glenn Beck and asked if they are dead inside.

"These people" are about nothing bur corruption to the core.

400,000+ of "these people", as well as President Obama, would all give tax cheat advice to a pimp who reveals his plan to traffic underage girls.

Why would they give such advice?
What would be their motivation?
Well, 'these people" are just evil.
They don't need reasons.
Its just the sort of response that comes naturally to "these people.'

No, Glenn Beck is not racist at all.

1. And there we have it.
Connect falsely suspect Acorn to a few stupid employees and then point to the number of votes that Obama got from Acorn getting the poor to vote and thereby suggest the win was illegitimate.

Someone needs to dig fast and deep and bury these republican jerks.

4. Yep. Plus, now they have a nice term for "these people.' They're ACORN! Period.
Watch the way these 9-12 patriots handle "these people" in true Glenn Beck form.

There are two black kids and a black woman.
The girl looks about 18 to me and the boy looks a bit younger.
They are walking through the 9-12 DC Marchers.
So thats 3 to 70,000?
The first of the ACORN videos had come out earlier that morning,
The patriotic star of this horror was seems eager to spot some ACORN, all revved up for some confrontation against these enemies.

By dehumanizing them and assigning to them a preconceived identity, he is then proud and free to publicly humiliate them, call them names and yell at them for at least five minutes straight while "shooing" them away.
Basically, he can be as racist as he wants to be without using the epithets that we liberals always condemn.
Well, maybe calling one of the kids "boy" was a bit iffy.

Regardless, calling children and their mother "ugly" in front of a jeering crowd?
That is true ugliness.

15. Oh, but he was afraid for his safety. Those three people were aggressive! The entire 9-12 march
was in danger!

2. Did Beck cry again? That's all I want to see from this asshat
Glenn Beck is the Poster Nut of the Reich Wing. He's doing a great job making sure that the Republican Party is further alienating the rest of America and leading it to be the next Whig Party.

It's hard to tell whether Beck is losing more advertisers or working brain cells per second.

11. You think? I really hope so, but I'm not optimistic.
I mean, Rush still has a job.

14. I'm trying to figure the whole thing out. He has supposedly lost 60 sponsors, but his ratings are
still incredibly high.
Then again, I watch him from time to time as do most of my very liberal family.
Just checking in, that sort of thing.
I can't imagine such a popular show being cancelled because of poor sponsorship.
It seems more likely that FOX is hoping things calm down after passage of the Health Care Bill, and quietly he will get some of the old sponsors back and gain some new ones to replace those that stay away.
He's too much of what FOX news is today.

6. You're correct.
Edited on Wed Sep-16-09 02:35 AM by Lilyeye
Acorn is code word for "those blacks." Anyone see the comments under the video the OP posted? Some piece of crap referred to Acorn as the N****** fest. Sadly, even people here on DU will continue to say it has nothing at all to do with racism.

7. He's connecting him to ACORN because Obama worked for them
as a community organizer. Also because Beck is just plain nutty.

9. Did you listen to the links I posted? That's not just nutty, that's racist.
Let's take a look at Obama "working" for ACORN.
He conducted two leadership training sessions at one hour each in the late 1990s.
Spread out over three years.
That breaks down to, what, .6666667 hours per year for three years?
I guess that is plenty of time plot an evil agenda that will play out ten years later.

Being on a team of lawyers to represent ACORN in 1995?
In regard to better access to the polls?

Yeah, Obama really worked for ACORN.

Now that I think about it, Obama is ACORN.

Obama=ACORN=400,000+members=those stupid women who were fired=really bad and scary.
That's the ticket.
:eyes:

17. I'm pretty sure Obama did not work for ACORN
as a community organizer.

8. Of course he is. It's where the President came from. Of Course..
everything positive about the President, the Rethugs can't wait to turn around as evil.
Rev. Wright
U of Chicago
Chicago
His multi-ethnic heritage
His Church and faith
His work in the community
His wife and family
and on and on...

EVERYTHING. DO YOU GET IT?

The tapes are edited and we don't know the rest of the story.
FAUX noise doesn't what they say or about repercussions, they just want to
discredit and illegitimize the President.

Same old same old, yet when people see it a different way, they STILL fall for it.

10. the only part of that i find amusing
is that the U of Chicago is also where the vaunted economic geniuses who drove the economy off a cliff are from, and where the Neocons were hatched from Leo Strass' forehead. you'd think they'd love BHO for that connection.

and by amusing, i mean infuriating &/or depressing.

13. You mean the good ole Chicago Boys? I crack up when I see the freepers with their signs that seek
to denigrate Obama by making references to "Chicago."
As if the conjuring of that city's name is enough to convince anyone of the horribleness of Obama.

Boo!
Chicago!

Don't these people know anything about the Chicago School of Economics and its founder, Milton Friedman?

12. You are right about all of this. Its to make him illegitimate. A "usurper." This is a "coup."
They aren't quite sure which technicality makes him illegitimate.
They just know in their hearts that such a technicality exists.
They know it because they can just tell.
They can just feel it.
There is something about him that's just not quite right.
Hmmm....
What could it be?

Quick!
They've got to find a technicality that proves what they already know: that he has no right to the presidency.

He's Kenyan!
He's Indonesian!
He had a nickname! OMG! Barry!
He's a terrorist!
He's an Afro-Leninist, which is a uniquely Obamian hybrid picked up through his mother's placenta while he was born in Africa!
He has dual citizenship and dual citizens are excluded from the presidency!
He's an "Indonesian Muslim Turned Welfare Thug!"
His mother was too young to transfer citizenship!
His mother had secretly denounced her American citizenship before he was born!

The U.S. vs. Wong Kim Ark case from 1898 says he's not eligible!
Well, maybe not the actual outcome of the case.
Maybe just a passage from the Supreme Court's minority opinion on the case.
But still.

Wait!
What about the case of Perkins v. Elg from 1939 that says he's not eligible?
OK, maybe that case actually suggests that Obama IS eligible.
But, still.

Found it!!
Swiss philosopher Emmerich de Vattel's "The Law of Nations," published in 1758, proves that Obama is not the president!
Certainly the words of a Swiss philosopher from the 1750s should carry some weight with Americans.
Certainly a close reading of "The Law of Nations" reveals that essential SOMETHING that just isn't right about Obama.
Nope?
Damn it, "I want my country back!"

Now that the birther madness has died down, they are reviving skepticism over the legitimacy of the general election.
It goes like this:
No one really voted for Obama because ACORN registered a bunch of Mickey Mouses!
They probably registered 9.6 million Mickey Mouses, just enough to win, damn it!
Of course, that means they had to get 9.6 million people not simply willing to commit voter fraud, but willing to wait in lines at the voting sites.
Also, they had to get 9.6 million fake Mickey Mouse IDs.
An unreasonable task?

Well then, even if some people legitimately vote for Obama, they were all black people.
Racist black people.
So those votes don't really count!
And even if some white people legitimately voted for him, its only because Obama played the race card and they felt guilty!
Or its because Obama's "thugs" forced them to!
Or its because they hate America!
Or its because they are Socialist Nazi Czar Loving Commies!

By the way, Obama is really not that smart.
He only got into ivy leagues because of affirmative action.
Well, maybe not affirmative action.
He was actually sent there by Saudi radicals.
They must have bribed the admissions office.
His graduation from Harvard Law with honors?
Just given to him because he was black.
Being president of the Harvard Law Review?
Racial quotas, of course!
Oh, except that he was the first black Harvard Law Review president, so apparently there was no precedent of using racial quotas to fill the position.
Well, then who cares anyway?
Harvard is dumb!
Are people supposed to be impressed with this man?
Puh-leeeeze!

Obama is a total fraud to much of the right.
Everything he is, everything he has, everything he has achieved, none of it means a shit to this particular group of people.
None of it was earned.
It was all stolen, given to him as a handout, cheated, strong-armed, wrangled by his thugs and doctored up.
They just KNOW this about him, regardless of the lack of supportive evidence.
Ridiculous claims by incompetent people such as Orly Taitz, Glenn Beck, etc. are readily accepted by them, no questions asked, because they have an almost pathologic need to believe it.
What is the irrational force driving this pathologic need?

RACISM.
