Glenn Beck is complete moron

So, Fox News Channel commentator Glenn Beck thinks President Obama a "racist."

Speaking on the only television program more paranoid and absurd than his own, "Fox and Friends," Beck claimed Obama had "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."

Beck's remarks came during a less than illuminating discussion about the arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., a friend of the president who was arrested two weeks for disorderly conduct, charges that were later dropped.

The arrest of a prominent member of the African-American community by a white officer, nonetheless, sparked a national debate about racial profiling. The normally deft president did little to diffuse the situation in a press conference last week, saying the officers had acted "stupidly."

Obama later backtracked from his comments -- as he should have -- and has invited both the officer and Gates to the White House on Thursday.

That, however, was not enough for Beck.

"He has a problem," Beck said. "This guy is, I believe, a racist."

Never mind that Obama was raised by a white mother and two white grandparents, or that he has admonished African-American fathers to take ownership of their community's problems, or that almost all the prominent members of his administration are white.

Also never mind that Beck once asked Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), the nation's first and only Muslim member of Congress, "Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies."

Clearly, it's Obama who has racial issues.
