There’s a Youtube clip going around that has alarm bells going off about the White House’s support of Harry Reid‘s opt-out public option bill, versus a public option trigger that had the support of GOP Senator Olympia Snowe (R-Maine).

If it’s attention Glenn Beck wanted – he got it. MSNBC just finished segment #6 (via TV Eyes) focusing on Glenn Beck‘s comments yesterday during Fox & Friends, in which he said President Barack Obama has “a deep-seeded hatred for white people” and “this guy is, I believe, a racist.” With a hand-off non-response by FNC management, MSNBC, the NAACP and more have gone on the offensive.
