ABC News Report On Glenn Beck Rally Features Civil Rights Leader Comparing Tea Party To KKK

video
» 160 comments

ABC News’s Claire Shipman filed a report this morning on Good Morning America about Glenn Beck‘s “Restoring Honor” rally, which featured Reverend Walter Fauntroy “We are going to take on the barbarism of war, the decadence of racism, and the scourge of poverty, that the Ku Klux — I meant to say the Tea Party… you all forgive me, but I — you have to use them interchangeably.” On his radio show, Beck slammed the ABC story, comparing it to “Something Goebbels would do.”

Rev. Fauntroy, a former non-voting delegate for Washington D.C, was speaking during an appearance at the National Press Club, when he misspoke. And while his clarification may have been said in jest as his defenders will likely claim, they is little question that the words he chose are inflammatory at best, and irresponsible at worst.

Glenn Beck shot back at ABC News, for what he deemed to be a one-sided portrayal of his “Restoring Honor” rally planned for this Saturday. Scott Whitlock reports for NewsBusters:

On his radio show, Friday, Beck complained about the “hatchet job.” Shipman clearly distorted the context. He actually said, “Whites don’t own Abraham Lincoln. Blacks don’t own Martin Luther King. Those are American icons, American ideas and we should just talk about character.” (H/T to The Right Scoop and Noel Sheppard.)

Playing the segment on the radio, Beck hyperbolically declared, “That’s what Goebbels did. The truth didn’t matter.” Now, while ABC should be criticized for the dishonest editing job, it is over-the-top to play the Nazi card.

  • shootfromthehip

    Oh noes!

    He must not have Fox news at home. Because, you know, according to Beck the Tea Party are the champions of African Americans and always have been.

    why do you libs think blacks are so far beneath you that you have to carry them?

  • sarainitaly

    I saw the abc clip earlier. It was a disgusting piece, and a perfect example of why people no longer trust the media. Shame on Shipman and ABC. And shame on Walter Fauntroy. Despicable.

  • philipjames

    Isn’t it amazing who the REAL race baiters and race mongers are…. Sharpton, this dolt, the NAACP, the liberal media….
    Glenn Beck never even mentioned race for this event as it was to HONOUR veterans, etc.

    What a bunch of race baiting jerks the left are… their only argument is anything they don’t like is racist.
    Well, they are the racists.

  • shootfromthehip

    “beneath us?” “Carry them?”

    Newsflash, Constantly.”

    We ELEVATE African Americans.

    If you didn’t notice, an African American Democrat is now leading our party and the nation.

  • Iris

    Walter Faunteroy marched with Kingand in his life he had to deal with the kkk, he fought them and was as intsrumental in getting civil rights legislation. If any body knows what the kkk and that ilk he had to fight looks like, Faunteroy does.
    If any of you hatemongers want to hate on him he can take it, you little crybabies haven’t had to deal with anything in your life compared to him

  • The Royal Court Jester

    The Beck rally will go on without a hitch
    While the democrats run the country in the ditch
    Economy in a double-dip
    Workers getting a pink slip
    There’s no more room on the backs of the rich

  • shootfromthehip

    Yes sure, Philip.

    Democrats and liberals are the racists.

    That’s why our party has over 30 African American members sitting in the House of Representatives right now and your side has, wait for it, ZERO.

    Because liberals are racist!

    “If you didn’t notice, an African American Democrat is now leading our party and the nation.”

    If you haven’t noticed, your President is crashing and burning.

    “Republicans lead Democrats 47% to 39% on the economy, which remains the most important issue to voters. Those numbers are nearly identical to those found in June. Republicans have held the advantage on the economy since May of last year.”

    Of course the black members of the Tea Party are all Uncle Toms, right?

  • Patrick Henry

    Wow, this rally is really getting to the libs!

  • stoogedudes

    I applaud, as we all should, Faunteroy for his work in the Civil Rights Movement, but I can’t defend what he said about the tea party.

    Look, we can disagree with the tea party, but to compare them to the KKK is ridiculous. I’ve attended a couple of tea party events as an objective observer, and I know many people who would identify themselves as tea partiers, and not one…not ONE…is anything even close to resembling a racist.

    As a liberal, I understand that some of those on the right say things that make me wonder what they’re thinking, but to throw “RACIST!!” accusations around every corner at the tea party makes us liberals look bad. People say things to get the other side riled up. Conservatives say things that anger liberals because they like to do that, and liberals say things to anger conservatives for the same reason.

    When we can have a discussion about the issues without throwing racism accusations around like they’re hot potatoes, only then can we figure out how to solve the issues that plague us as a nation. But as long as we throw around terms like “racist” and “Nazi” and all of this other nonsense, we’re not going to get anywhere in our discourse.

    I admit I’ve added to the nonsense and said things about conservatives that I shouldn’t have said and really didn’t mean. But anger gets us to say things that are over the line. This site is Exhibit A for the ugliness of politics. It’s a wonder more people haven’t been banned from this site for their inflammatory language. I’ve mentioned the hate on this site and someone replied, “We don’t hate the other side, we just really really disagree with them.” Well from what I’ve seen on here, hate is thriving and I, for one, want to take part in none of it.

  • Tony the Fist

    Good for you, StoogeDudes, I appreciate your pragmatism.

  • notsofast

  • Phocus2

    ‘Rev.’ Walter Fauntroy is not a leader. Walter Fauntroy hasn’t a reverential bone in his body. Walter Fauntroy is not a man of God. Walter Fauntroy is a race baiting poverty pimp and a despicable piece of human debris. Those are his good points. If racism as seen by this fool were to disappear tomorrow…poof…all gone, this man would starve. Someone ask this fool who started his KKK and why.

    Ok, but if liberals stopped throwing around “racism”, there’d still be a lot of hate going around. And you got to admit, both sides are guilty of this.

    BatBoy said:

    I’m just speaking for myself, but I don’t like to call you that because I don’t think you or most conservatives are. You might have noticed that I don’t throw that term around toward those I disagree with. It’s not productive and only creates more animosity between us.

  • shootfromthehip

    For the record, I do not think most conservatives are racist.

    However, that said, it’s clear from the evidence that Republicans have actively worked to SURPRESS the African American vote in America via caging lists and for Beck to now try and claim MLK as a symbol of the right is just a joke in the minds of people that know better.

  • Greg

    your assertion was that attention connoted gravitas… saying (as you currently seem to be) that media attention is evidence of media attention is on it’s face true but hardly worth the calories needed to communicate the thought… more interested in how you prove the attention= gravitas link…

    What a surprise…a mainstream media report on the tea party that completely ignores the real issues of government accountability and political corruption and instead…(drum roll please!)….plays the race card. Someone should tell ABC News that no one takes this stuff seriously any more. If their “experts” want to refute the tea party, they should stand up and defend the bloated, deficit-ridden government in Washington, D.C. And if they can’t do that, they should just admit, instead of playing this tired smear game over and over again.

    I don’t believe that non-white people in America truly want to see racism disappear. It tries to disappear and then white people are freshly alienated again and again. It appears that hate motivates. I think that I may actually start publicly vomiting at the site of one more race card thrown out like a sacred totem of motivational hatred. We have allowed ourselves to become enslaved rather than enforce equality. Liars will lie until you stop believing it. But that just wouldn’t be polite to not believe someone when they lie. It would just cause an unpleasant stir and the next generation deserves to deal with this problem so why not pass the buck until the problem is out of control and we are all left standing in the middle of the destruction like children vomiting milk in the lunch room.

    Yes, in this case, since we are talking about a man who uses guilt by association, including Obama’s connection to Wright and Ayers, routinely, then it is appropriate to point out that Fauntroy, and by extension, Glenn, is tainted by Moon. A man who wants to take over the world, and is using the Washington Times, numerous front organizations, and paid representatives like Fauntroy to spread his incideous message. And not to mention Farrakhan, a close friend of Fauntroy. Next thing you know we will find out Glenn has invited the New Black Panthers as security.

    What a surprise…a mainstream media report on the tea party that completely ignores the real issues of government accountability and political corruption and instead…(drum roll please!)….plays the race card. Someone should tell ABC News that no one takes this stuff seriously any more. If their “experts” want to refute the tea party, they should stand up and defend the bloated, deficit-ridden government in Washington, D.C. And if they can’t do that, they should just admit, instead of playing this tired smear game over and over again.

    Deficits?

    “Former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill was told “deficits don’t matter” when he warned of a looming fiscal crisis.
    O’Neill, fired in a shakeup of Bush’s economic team in December 2002, raised objections to a new round of tax cuts and said the president balked at his more aggressive plan to combat corporate crime after a string of accounting scandals because of opposition from “the corporate crowd,” a key constituency.

    O’Neill said he tried to warn Vice President Dick Cheney that growing budget deficits-expected to top $500 billion this fiscal year alone-posed a threat to the economy. Cheney cut him off. “You know, Paul, Reagan proved deficits don’t matter,” he said, according to excerpts. Cheney continued: “We won the midterms (congressional elections). This is our due.” A month later, Cheney told the Treasury secretary he was fired. “

    Come Shoot, enough of this “truth” stuff. These right wingers don’t want to hear the “truth”, especially if it disrupts the “minorities are coming to get us” Southern Strategy conservatives like to employ. I would wager that MOST (not all) but MOST of the right wingers who post here couldn’t give a fig if Black voters are supressed. We know this based upon their reactions to posts on this blog about Tom Tancredo and “literacy” tests, and the Bush DOJ only bringing ONE case of voter discrimination against African-Americans, or of voter intimidation by White Reactionaries in Arizona.

    If the minority of right wingers DO have a problem with minority voter disenfranchisement, they sure can’t seem to find their keyboards when the subject comes up in here.

    Moon bothers me? He does not. Farrakhan? Nope. Islamics? No again. However, given the right’s fixation on these kind of conspiratorial things, re: Wright, Ayers and Farrakhan, and since coincidentally we do have a Farrakhan reference to your liking, Fauntroy, and a Moon reference, Fauntroy and the Liberty University Chorus, so I am betting all that concerns you. I am just letting you know, as a kind of public service gesture. As for who I support, yep, I am on the side of the moderate Islamics, and their rights in our free country. I also support Reverend Moon and his rights, and make no allegation of wrong doing against him. Far from it, after reading Carlton Sherwood’s book on Moon’s criminal prosecution, I firmly believe that he got railroaded. I am fond of Mormons too, but you can not wear those white shirts without receiving some snide remarks. As for the terrorists: I do not support them, nor do the moderate Islamics, which is almost all Islamics. It is crucial that you understand that point. It is the reason we should embrace the mosque, recognizing that moderate Islam is not the same as radical Islam. It benefits our country to make peace with 1.5 billion people, especially since, in this case, they are innocent. Or, again, is Christianity to be tarred by slaughter of 30K Muslims in Bosnia by Christians “defending” their religious purity.

    The press are part of the democrat lie machine.

    Shooterboy, Let me give you some information, you will call it bragging, I have worked on campaigns for 40 years. I have worked from the top to the bottom. Going door to door, running phone banks, writing campaign ads, making television ads, writing speeches, running campaigns and digging up dirt on the opponents. I know ALL about campaigns. All the charges of vote suppression by republicans are bogus. These are phony charges like the ones in Florida about the ballots. The Dems controlled the election process in those counties where the complaints came from. They dems were caught telling people to call and make complaints.

    While there are rare occassions of some republicans violating some laws the democrats are leaders in vote fraud. They have outside groups that use money to buy votes and to scare people. Should I name SEIU, ACORN, AFL-CIO, NBP, League of Women Voters, Iron Workers and the Teachers Union? You can’t name any groups that match those in league with the republicans.

    Nice ‘proof’. Perhaps you can reconcile these two things that don’t add up…. of course I’m just a ‘Southern Strategy’ RWE so I ain’t got much lernin’ but please bear with me…..

    from your linked article….

    “In Jacksonville, to determine if Republicans were using the lists or other means of intimidating voters, we filmed a private detective filming every ‘early voter’ – the majority of whom are black – from behind a vehicle with blacked-out windows”
    ___________

    Then there was this….

    “On the scene, Democratic Congresswoman Corinne Brown said the surveillance operation was part of a campaign of intimidation tactics used by the Republican Party to intimidate and scare off African American voters, almost all of whom are registered Democrats.”
    _____________

    Maybe it’s just me… like I said I’m purdy stoopid…. but I don’t see how filming people in secret can POSSIBLY be construed as a tactic “to intimidate and scare off African American voters”.

    Do tell Cobra… in whose ‘jurisdiction’ was LA in 2008? And where, exactly, did THAT silly woman ride out the hurricane?

    Actually, in 2008, Bobby Jindal was sworn in as Governor on January 14. Back in 2005, it was Kathleen Blanco you’re talking about, who certainly made her share of mistakes during the hurricane. I don’t know exactly where she was during the storm, but I DO know EXACTLY where President Bush was, and the actions of Tricky Dick Cheney, who always seems to have his priorities in line:

    “Early Tuesday morning, August 30, a day after the hurricane struck, President Bush attended a V-J Day commemoration ceremony at Coronado, California while monitoring the situation with his aides and cabinet officials.[14] 24 hours before the ceremony, storm surges began overwhelming levees and floodwalls protecting the city of New Orleans, greatly exacerbating the minimal damage from rainfall and wind when the hurricane itself veered to the East and avoided a direct hit on New Orleans.[15] Initial reports of leaked video footage of top-level briefings held before the storm claimed that this video contradicted Bush’s earlier statements that no one anticipated the breach of the levees.[16] Transcripts revealed that Bush was warned that the levees may overflow, as were Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin.

    Bush was criticized for not returning to Washington, D.C. from his vacation in Texas until after Wednesday afternoon, more than a day after the hurricane hit on Monday.[17] Many claimed that on the morning of August 28, the president telephoned Mayor Nagin to “plead” for a mandatory evacuation of New Orleans, and further claimed that Nagin and Gov. Blanco decided to evacuate the city only in response to that request. These claims were never substantiated with any recordings, however Blanco did tell reporters the President had called and spoken with her (but not Nagin) before the press conference.[18]

    Bush overflew the devastated area from Air Force One as he traveled from Texas back to Washington, D.C.,[19] and subsequently visited the Gulf Coast on Friday and was briefed on Hurricane Katrina. The president showed optimistic resolve for the pending reconstruction of the Gulf Coast, noting particularly, “…that out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic Gulf Coast, like it was before. Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott’s house — he’s lost his entire house — there’s going to be a fantastic house. And I’m looking forward to sitting on the porch.” .[20]

    Vice President Dick Cheney was also criticized in his role in the aftermath. On the night of August 30, and again the next morning, he personally called the manager of the Southern Pines Electric Power Association and ordered him to divert power crews to electrical substations in nearby Collins, Mississippi that were essential to the operation of the Colonial Pipeline, which carries gasoline and diesel fuel from Texas to the Northeast.[21] The power crews were reportedly upset when told what the purpose of the redirection was, since they were in the process of restoring power to two local hospitals, but did so anyway.”

Holding Bush accountable for the delayed response is no different than blaming the Fire Department for your house burning down when the grease fire on your stove could (should) have been easily handled with a fire extinguisher and some forethought.

    Big Government is slow and stupid and should never be relied on for anything except cleaning up the mess/ throwing money at the problem WAY TOO LATE. The Gulf oil spill is just another example ot that.

    Don’t even get me started on the “New Orleans dodged a bullet” reports from the media that also helped to delay the urgency. Again, the media contributed to that same effect with the Gulf oil spill. The difference is that the media likes Obama and doesn’t want to crucify him over it. That’s probably why they downplayed the concern from the jump and continue to ignore the gravity of it even now.

    I think they did him (and are DOING him) no favors by minimizing it at first by calling it ‘a leak’, and then pretending to be concerned when America said “WTF”… only to ignore it once again after the well was capped. Environmentalists are saying that the majority of the oil still lurks below the surface but the admin. seems content to ignore that inconvenient theory.

    Time will tell the tale…. just as it will with Bush and Katrina. I followed Katrina closely as I follow all potential US landfalling hurricanes. (It’s a long story). The bullseye was on NO for several days and when Mississippi wound up taking the brunt there was a collective “sigh of relief” that came out of NO. I remember waking up that morning and turning on the news and watching the footage of the dry streets. Of course there was damage, but they got lucky (or so it seemed).

    The hurricane was long gone by the time the flooding started and the ‘all clear’ had already been sounded so… blame Bush if you wish but blame the MSM too. Just as with the Deepwater Horizon disaster, they dropped the ball.

    btw…. ‘the breach of the levees’ was ‘anticipated’ by EVERYONE and had been for years. The Weather Channel did a whole show about it, much like the one I just watched addressing the question “What will happen if a major hurricane hits Savannah GA?”

    It was so well known that it was ‘a disaster waiting to happen’ that it wasn’t even discussed anymore. You might as well blame Clinton, Bush Sr., Reagan and Carter for ‘not anticipating the levee breach’.

    Again, the Weather Channel ‘anticipated’ all the shit that came to pass. They did it years, months, weeks, days and hours before the shit went down. Period.

    Idiots do you think that “Never been in the military Beck” is doing anything more than honoring himself. He was so dyslexic and alcoholic the military would never have taken him in the first place and if he was accepted by bribing someone, he would have been kicked out as unable to think clearly or take an order, except from Rupert Murdoch.

    That’s almost accurate, if you actually READ American History and study current American Society. I’d just like to know how, Norbit, you ascribe “family values”, “personal responsibility” & being Christian as intrinsically “White”?

    Was Jesus Christ “white?” The vast majority of People indigenous to that area in that time period weren’t 6 foot tall English actors with pale skin, blond hair and blue eyes, so what’s your point?

    The rest is projected jibberish based upon fading White majority insecurities. Read a census trend, Norbit. America is turning BROWN, baby. You can hate us all you like, but you and your children will have to deal with us.

    Do you even know the history of the Klan? It was a badge of honor among many White Southerners to belong to the Klan (still is to some).

    “In some states, such as Alabama, members of the KKK worked for political and social reform. The state’s Klansmen were among the foremost advocates of better public schools, effective prohibition enforcement, expanded road construction, and other “progressive” political measures. In many ways, these reforms benefited lower-class white people. By 1925, the Klan was a political force in the state, as leaders such as J. Thomas Heflin, David Bibb Graves, and Hugo Black manipulated the KKK membership to try to build political power against the Black Belt planters, who had long dominated the state.”

    writer,

    How come Fox News can’t seem to find any Klan Members to discuss their thoughts on air, but have folks like Malik Zulu Shabazz on speed dial? Ever thought of that? David Duke has a helluva bigger web presence and political success than ANY New Black Panther Party Member. I’m surprised Duke hasn’t been invited by Beck to the rally in DC.

    Deficits?

    “Former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill was told “deficits don’t matter” when he warned of a looming fiscal crisis.
    O’Neill, fired in a shakeup of Bush’s economic team in December 2002, raised objections to a new round of tax cuts and said the president balked at his more aggressive plan to combat corporate crime after a string of accounting scandals because of opposition from “the corporate crowd,” a key constituency.

    –Cobra

    Federal tax revenues increased by almost $800 billion in the four years following the Bush tax cuts. Even today, after all the economic destruction caused by Obama, the government brings in more in taxes than before the Bush tax cuts. Further, the Bush TARP loans are being paid back to the government, with the taxpayers seeing a profit. And by every economic measure — employment, housing starts, home prices, GDP growth, strength of the dollar, capital investment, etc. — things were better off under Bush than Obama. And those are facts backed by the numbers, unlike your bogus spin.

    I applaud, as we all should, Faunteroy for his work in the Civil Rights Movement, but I can’t defend what he said about the tea party.

    Look, we can disagree with the tea party, but to compare them to the KKK is ridiculous. I’ve attended a couple of tea party events as an objective observer, and I know many people who would identify themselves as tea partiers, and not one…not ONE…is anything even close to resembling a racist.

    As a liberal, I understand that some of those on the right say things that make me wonder what they’re thinking, but to throw “RACIST!!” accusations around every corner at the tea party makes us liberals look bad. People say things to get the other side riled up. Conservatives say things that anger liberals because they like to do that, and liberals say things to anger conservatives for the same reason.

    When we can have a discussion about the issues without throwing racism accusations around like they’re hot potatoes, only then can we figure out how to solve the issues that plague us as a nation. But as long as we throw around terms like “racist” and “Nazi” and all of this other nonsense, we’re not going to get anywhere in our discourse.

    I admit I’ve added to the nonsense and said things about conservatives that I shouldn’t have said and really didn’t mean. But anger gets us to say things that are over the line. This site is Exhibit A for the ugliness of politics. It’s a wonder more people haven’t been banned from this site for their inflammatory language. I’ve mentioned the hate on this site and someone replied, “We don’t hate the other side, we just really really disagree with them.” Well from what I’ve seen on here, hate is thriving and I, for one, want to take part in none of it.

    Thank you Stooge! This is precisely why I am a Democrat. No conservative would ever make a statement like this acknowledging that we are ALL part of the problem. We throw around accusations, name calling, etc and blame the other party. Both parties have their crooks, and idiots and racists, and spenders and whatever else you can think of, but conservatives for the most part are hypocrites and want to pretend like liberals are the only ones doing anything wrong.

    The irony is so thick. Geez dude. Do you really not see the hypocrisy in your words? Where do I start?

    Let me just point to your ridiculous assertion that I take particular offense to and see if you would like to qualify it in some way or perhaps retract it for being FLAT OUT WRONG AND PROVABLY FALSE….

    In fact I would say …. if I didn’t know better…. that stoogedudes copied and pasted his post from a compilation of some of my own posts on the subject.

    Anyway, how many ‘pats on the back’ did he get from conservatives for saying what he said? Do you know how many KUDOS I get from leftwingers for trying mightily to be diplomatic, fair-minded and even-handed?

    So before you start tossing around big words that you don’t understand like “no” and “ever”…. as in “NO conservative would EVER blah blah blah”…. think about what a damning statement that actually is. KnowudImean?

    In other words, the list of things that “NO conservative would EVER do” is pretty short, and may actually contain only ONE entry…

    “NO conservative would EVER pretend like liberals are the only ones doing anything wrong.”

    Any true conservative recognizes the corruption in our ranks and in the broader (R) party and every single conservative I know is quite vocal about all the wasteful spending. Their opinions are all over these threads if you would like to take a look and make a realistic assessment.

    But, as with all absolutes, even that lone entry on the list of things “NO conservative would EVER do” can be proven false by just one blind idiot. So I’ll repeat something I have said many many times here at Mediaite and elsewhere….. it’s really the only ABSOLUTE I believe in…..

    NOBODY is beyond reproach. Period.

    If we live our lives “hating” we will be known as “hateful” and will be avoided. I truly believe in the old adage that “Love conquers all”, we can love without letting our guard down since the world is full of dissenters. If we all agree with each other, we would be no different than a character from Jules Vernes “Time Machine”, everybody walking in line following each other to their eventual demise. Imagination is what made our great writers, poets, musicians, sculptors, etc. We are a nation capable of anything, why do we spend our time in demeaning each other? People wrote famous books with only the light of candle…we, the greatest nation in the world, is the most unhappy, the greediest and…the angriest…if we don’t find a way to live in peace and protect each others’ rights, there will be a class of people who will dominate the world, thoroughly destroy our rights and then…and only then would we wish we could return to the America we sometimes, loved & sometimes…were allowed..to hate. God Bless America!
