I just watched the goddamn show on dvr an hour ago. That was a joke, he was making a greater and different point. Shame on mediamatters for lying.From the liberal slime at Media Matters.

I've been listening to talk radio a lot lately due to the fact that I took a summer job 45 minutes away, and i've noticed many of the commentators constantly accusing liberals in this country of provoking racial tension. I'm not one to baselessly accuse people of racism, I will come to the defense of tea party when people accuse them of this, but that doesn't doesn't mean their cheerleaders feel the same way.
Glenn Beck has gotten in some trouble for saying things like this recently, including the infamous "Obama has a deep seated hatred for white people" quote, and more recently, promoting a 70 year old book from an anti-semite nazi sympathizer. These instances just make Beck, and by extension, the Tea Party look bad.
It is funny that he knows his detractors will simply jump on this, as they rightfully should. This isn't journalism, I imagine if McCarthy had a television show in his day, it would feel eerily similar to the daily circus at the Glenn Beck Show.
Well, I don't know if it really counts as a joke when it was predicated by a clip of Obama from 1995 talking about "white executives". He was pushing a narrative. Now if he just said that randomly, I would more inclined to not think anything of it really because it would come off as a joke. He has implied (not so subtly) that Obama is a racist before, and this is just another example.I just watched the goddamn show on dvr an hour ago.

I literally cannot understand why people throw around "far" prefixes when they denegrate opposition view. Talk about a warped paradigm. My god.
Media Matters Far-Left? For god's sake..
Hahahahaha
I watched that show, and after he said it, he predicted that far leftys like MM would attack him for it.
If you boobs would bother to watch the show, instead of believing those morons at MM, you might just realize that MM is full of ****.
Obama, demanding action, meets with BP execs
Wednesday, June 16, 2010; 11:59 AM
President Obama launched a White House meeting with BP executives Wednesday morning as oil continued to gush from the ocean floor in the Gulf of Mexico, the latest effort by the administration to seize control of the response to the nation's worst-ever environmental disaster.
BP officials expected to participate in the Roosevelt Room session included chairman Carol-Henric Svanberg, chief executive Tony Hayward and managing director Bob Dudley, the White House said.
Beck fail. Again. :lamo
Media Matters just posts clips, how are they full of **** exactly? From what i've seen, they are careful to keep the clips in context as well. I think Beckerheads just get pissed when someone documents all the crazy **** he says.
Then you haven't seen much of media matters if you think context means a damned thing to them. I am NOT a supporter of Glenn Beck but I still recognize where Media Matters has a hard on for him and does everything it can to take anything he says completely out of context.
How can you argue that its taken out of context when they posted over 3 minutes of Beck speaking in his own words. Media matters is a thorn in the side of the right-wing because they don't let people hide from the stupid things that they say.
They post their own words in context and let the stupidity of the people speak for themselves.
Many people used to be able to run and hide from the things that they would say...but in todays technological age you can't do that....
Idiots like Beck contribute nothing positive to our society...all they do is spew their hatred propoganda and the fools that listen to them eat it up and buy into every word. They are a plague on this great country.
First of all, never made a value judgment about this particular instance; I made an assertion about Media Matters in general.
And Media Matters is not a thorn in the side of anyone except those who expect a fact checker organization to actually adhere to...you know...facts.
No, they do not post in context every time. There are countless threads right here at DP where Media Matters was exposed as having lifted a small clip out of a much larger dissertation and colored the person quoted as having said something completely different from what they actually said.
Well now you know how I feel about most extremists of any stripe (but especially liberal extremists), though I can't for the life of me understand the confusion so many people have when it comes to differentiating Beck from real journalists.
Well that was one of the poorest excuses I've heard since "the dog ate my homework". I mean, just... down right embarassingly bad. Even the interviewer did a double take with a follow up and Matt Lauer couldn't even believe his own ears.I watched the entire episode and beck was pointing out that Obama would meet with Irans imanitjob but not heyward.

I feel the same way about left-wing media extremists as I do about right-wing media extremists, they all spew their garbage for money...but hey....welcome to Capitalism.

Yep, he met with them for 20 whole minutes.
