Glenn Beck Christens Charles Darwin ‘The Father Of Modern-Day Racism’

video
» 85 comments

Today’s Glenn Beck was a complex history lesson involving many intricate threads woven together by the four forces of commerce, religion, government, and science. It was also a complex, delicious-looking cake composed of four edible layers of commerce, religion, government, and science (but probably just fruit). And to explain how these layers relate, Glenn Beck explained the family history behind the Father of Modern-Day Racism, Charles Darwin.

After explaining the significance of the illustration of a slave in shackles reading “Am I Not a Man and a Brother?” made famous accompanying the abolitionist poem “My Countrymen in Chains” (more about that here) as “the Lance Armstrong bracelets of the day,” he took on the history of the man who made the illustration into a mass-produced medallion, Josiah Wedgwood. His story and that story of the image were an anecdote chosen to illustrate the aforementioned four forces elemental in American history. Government and religion work together, government and religion are driven apart, and those dynamics result in things like slavery and the abolition thereof. Funny that Wedgwood was such an abolitionist, Beck continues explaining, as “his great-grandson plant[ed] the seed that leads to progressivism, eugenics.” Yes, that’s right, Wedgwood’s grandson was “Charles Darwin, the father of modern-day racism,” he concludes.

Beck doesn’t really explain that assertion any further, since he ends the story there, but it’s a heavy enough accusation that it feels more like a cliffhanger than an intended given. If there is one planned– and there’s no reason to believe there isn’t– Beck’s history lesson on Charles Darwin promises to be fascinating if that’s the groundwork he’s laying for it. We can only hope it will be as delicious.

    Darwin was and remained all his life, deeply Christian. His wife was even more Christian than he. His discovery may have contributed to eugenics, but let’s not confuse “social darwinism” with what Darwin stood for. “Survival of the fittest” (not his term but well applicable) is a great way of describing freedom to compete on the marketplace of anything, from ideas to stones. Many scholars believe that Darwinism is not at all at odds with Christianity and the brilliant philosopher Henri Bergson has described the transition from basic biology (his background) all the way up to morality and religion. He discussed his position on early radio with Einstein and the tapes must still exist (tip for GB!). The latter seemed to have won the debate, but from the 90s on to today, his ideas have been revitalized stronger than ever. And he keeps inspiring me (my own philosophy on my site).

  • notsofast

    Let me quote Charles, libs favorite Eugenicist:

    “At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes … will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the Negro or Australian and the gorilla.”

    Ahhhhh, music to a lib racist’s ears!

    What do you know–another Beck/Teabagger/Religious Right claim thoroughly debunked. Do you think Beck ever gets tired of showing himself to be a dumbass of the highest magnitude? And more importantly, do you think his lemmings would ever challenge him on anything, or will they continue to stumble blindly and stupidly behind him as he leads them over cliff after cliff? And still MORE importantly, does Beck U. offer refunds (because if not, you idiots are screwed)? Interesting questions, no?

    http://www.rationalrevolution.net/articles/darwin_nazism.htm (below, see a very small part of this thorough destruction of a mindless talking point)

    While on the voyage of the HMS Beagle Darwin wrote:

    I was told before leaving England that after living in slave countries all my opinions would be altered; the only alteration I am aware of is forming a much higher estimate of the negro character. It is impossible to see a negro and not feel kindly towards him; such cheerful, open, honest expressions and such fine muscular bodies. I never saw any of the diminutive Portuguese, with their murderous countenances, without almost wishing for Brazil to follow the example of Haiti; and, considering the enormous healthy-looking black population, it will be wonderful if, at some future day, it does not take place.

    “We must overcome fear and mistrust, and we must once again use our collective voice to connect with the public on the values we share as Americans.”

    See that quote? That’s from the article you linked. I wonder where that fear and mistrust came from…death panels, killing grandma, rationing health care, funding abortions…gee…WHO said that? I just can’t remember.
    Also, if you’ll notice, the article quotes no source of substance, and I’d be surprised if this became a part of any Democrat stump speech this fall. The left is always more divided than the right (it’s because we think for ourselves), but no matter what divisions we have amongst ourselves, we damn sure won’t be voting for you morons…ever.

    “I wonder where that fear and mistrust came from…” awful

    Fear of crushing costs combined with diminishing quality of care and mistrust of the legislation itself along with disgust in how it was forced thru Congress. At least that’s my guess.

  • republicansareawfulpeople

    Forced through Congress? Were you asleep? It took forever, your side got every opportunity to participate and refused (Jim Demint–what a clown), and you lied about all facets of it from day one.

    Let’s be honest, shall we? This watered down health care bill (certainly not the single-payer bill I wanted) is got going to much at all. It’s a good talking point for Obama, and that’s about it. People will get to keep whatever insurance they have, and the folks that couldn’t afford it will now have an option (And why does that bother you so much anyway? Do you hate poor people?). It’s not revolutionary, it’s certainly not a government takeover (you filthy fear-mongering liars), and if the Republicans try to make health care their big stick this fall, they will fail…period.

  • Azarkhan

    At the time President Barack Obama signed the health care overhaul in March, polls showed the legislation was unpopular with the American people. The White House told naysayers that public sentiment would become more favorable and turn out to be a political plus for Democrats this fall.

    Democrats would “be able to campaign proudly” on the legislation, White House senior aide David Axelrod said at the time. These days, Democrats are doing it with some trepidation and, depending on their districts, at some risk.

    Now, with less than three months before the November elections, the preponderance of the evidence is that the health care bill remains a political problem for Democratic candidates.

    Health Care Rationing Obama Believes In

    Maryland Becomes 2nd State to Offer Federally Funded Abortions under Obamacare

    (CNSNews.com) – Maryland will join Pennsylvania as the second state to use federal tax dollars to pay for abortions under the new health care law signed by President Barack Obama in March, according to information released by Maryland’s State Health Insurance Plan.

    Maryland will receive $85 million in federal funds for its federally mandated high-risk insurance pool, which will cover abortions. As CNSNews.com reported on July 14, Pennsylvania will receive $160 million in federal funds for its high-risk insurance pool, which will also cover abortions.

    During the debate over the health-care bill, President Obama delivered a speech to a joint session of Congress, saying: “Under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions.”

    The day the House voted to pass that bill, President Obama also signed an executive order purporting to prevent federal funding of abortions in the programs it created.

    ObamaCare Rationing: FDA Considers Denying Leading Cancer Drug

    The FDA is not supposed to consider costs in its decisions, but if the agency rescinds approval, insurers are likely to stop paying for treatment.

    “It’s hard to talk about Avastin without talking about costs,” said Eric P. Winer, director of the Breast Oncology Center at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. “For better or worse, Avastin has become in many ways the poster child of high-priced anti-cancer drugs.”

    Avastin is the world’s best-selling cancer drug, with global sales of $5.8 billion, and it is the top-selling product for Roche, whose Genentech unit makes it. Its use to treat breast cancer brings in about $855 million in annual revenue in the United States.

    Avastin is approved for use in treating several cancers, including those of the colon, lung, kidney and brain. So doctors could continue to write prescriptions for it for breast cancer, as an “off-label” use. But in addition to prompting insurers including Medicare to stop paying for Avastin, an FDA revocation of approval for its use in breast cancer treatment might mean that breast cancer patients would lose eligibility for a program in which Genentech caps the annual cost of the drug at $57,000 for women with annual incomes of less than $100,000.

    Avastin was the first drug designed to fight cancer by blocking blood flow to tumors, which has been hailed as one of the first significant innovations in decades in the war on cancer. But Avastin is also one of the most expensive of a new generation of anti-cancer medications that only eke out a few extra months of life.

    Read the whole thing here. Before Big Government wrote on this issue, the FDA was trying to argue that Avastin wasn’t “clinically meaningful.” After our posts, even the Washington Post admits that the real issue is about trimming costs. These are the ‘death panels’ Sarah Palin mentioned. This story provides a glimpse into our future.

    Here you go AWFULly stupid!

    Obamacare’s stealth ambush of senior citizens

    Even Obamacare’s biggest cheerleaders won’t be able to ignore Medicare chief actuary Richard Foster forever. Based on current law, Foster says, seniors who rely on Medicare will replace Medicaid recipients at the bottom of the health care ladder as early as 2019, five years after the individual mandate kicks in. That’s when the fees Medicare pays to providers will be slashed below Medicaid rates, which are already well below market prices.

    “And if you’re in a plan that pays the lowest rates, you’re in trouble,” John Goodman, president of the National Center for Policy Analysis, told The Examiner.

    That’s because the $575 billion cut to Medicare over the next decade — which is needed to pay insurance subsidies for 32 million new people — will force one in seven hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies and hospices out of business, according to the formal Medicare trustees report released on April 22. By 2050, 40 percent of existing health care facilities will forced to close their doors.

    Nearly half of the 32 million newly insured people will be enrolled in Medicaid (those whose incomes are at or below 133 percent of the poverty line will have no choice), but they shouldn’t expect the level of care that current Medicaid recipients receive, Goodman adds.

    “For many low-income people, there’s not going to be much difference. Now they get care at community health centers and hospital emergency rooms. The Medicaid system won’t be able to handle them in a substantially different way. They’ll end up going to the same doctors and the same facilities they go to as uninsured.”

    But there will be one difference: The wait for care will be much, much longer. Obamacare will provide 100 million Americans with much more generous insurance than they have today, Goodman points out, with no co-pays and no deductibles. This will give people new incentives to access medical care even though there won’t be enough doctors to handle the increased demand. A looming shortages of nurses won’t help, either.

    Before I go to bed AWFULly stupid, I have one more tidbit for you:

    Key White House allies are dramatically shifting their attempts to defend health care legislation, abandoning claims that it will reduce costs and deficit, and instead stressing a promise to “improve it.”…
    The confidential presentation, available in full here and provided to POLITICO by a source on the call, suggests that Democrats are acknowledging the failure of their predictions that the health care legislation would grow more popular after its passage, as its benefits became clear and rhetoric cooled. Instead, the presentation is designed to win over a skeptical public, and to defend the legislation — and in particular the individual mandate — from a push for repeal…
    The presentation also concedes that the fiscal and economic arguments that were the White House’s first and most aggressive sales pitch have essentially failed…
    The presentation’s final page of “Don’ts” counsels against claiming “the law will reduce costs and deficit.”

  • republicansareawfulpeople

    Michelle–you’re going to find this hard to believe (I know I did), but once again, you’re just wrong, wrong, wrong.

    “Maryland will receive $85 million in federal funds for its federally mandated high-risk insurance pool, which will cover abortions. As CNSNews.com reported on July 14, Pennsylvania will receive $160 million in federal funds for its high-risk insurance pool, which will also cover abortions.”

    That’s a quote from your sorry-ass CNS link about the stimulus paying for abortions. Now try to follow–Maryland and Pennsylvania are among states that have an insurance program that ALREADY covers abortion. Guess who decided to have that kind of policy? That’s right–Maryland and Pennsylvania. I would say this to the people that have a problem with that (like you): Take it up with the states. Isn’t that what you clowns are all about? States’ rights? I call BS. You’re for states having rights when they go along with what you believe. Now, I’m going to post another link that shows how people have absolutely bent over backwards to keep pigs like you happy…I read your link…you read mine (if you can):

    http://www.factcheck.org/2010/04/the-abortion-issue/

    And since I know you WON’T read it (scaredy cat), here’s a taste:

    “What the health care law says: To address those concerns, senators adopted a provision saying that any private insurance plans that cover abortion (and are sold through exchanges) must keep federal dollars separate from the private dollars paid by individual policyholders. Those buying plans on the exchange would send in a separate payment to cover abortion services, and coverage for abortions (other than in cases or rape or incest or danger to the mother’s life) would be paid for from a segregated pool of money that contains no federal funds.

    Furthermore, the Senate bill — now law — allows states to prohibit policies sold on their exchanges from covering abortions, with the same exceptions. And it requires that at least one plan in state exchanges not include abortion coverage beyond federal limitations.”

    “Obama, executive order, signed March 24:
    Existing law prohibits these centers from using Federal funds to provide abortion services (except in cases of rape or incest, or when the life of the woman would be endangered), as a result of both the Hyde Amendment and longstanding regulations containing the Hyde language. Under the Act, the Hyde language shall apply to the authorization and appropriations of funds for Community Health Centers under section 10503 and all other relevant provisions. I hereby direct the Secretary of HHS to ensure that program administrators and recipients of Federal funds are aware of and comply with the limitations on abortion services imposed on CHCs by existing law. Such actions should include, but are not limited to, updating Grant Policy Statements that accompany CHC grants and issuing new interpretive rules.”

    It is possible that the courts might someday overrule the president’s order; we can’t predict that. But for now, Obama’s executive order carries the force of law. The O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University wrote on its site that this executive order is legal, saying: “While a few Executive Orders, such as President Truman’s order seizing the steel industry, have been struck down by the courts, as long as the President is acting within his constitutional authority as the chief executive of the nation’s executive departments and not acting directly contrary to a federal statute, his orders are not subject to legal challenge. … Despite claims to the contrary, the President’s Executive Order Ensuring Enforcement and Implementation of Abortion Restrictions in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is clearly authorized by the Constitution, and consistent with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act itself and existing law and regulations.”

    Ouch, Michelle–that last part’s got to sting a little. And by the way, none of this health care stuff REALLY matters until 2014–if Republicans are the party of the people (as you surely believe), all you have to do is knock Obama off in ’12…if you can. I doubt you will, though–you’re just not smart enough.

  • Mr B

    I just learned, from Glenn Beck, that the first actual slave in America was owned by a black man. It was the collusion between the Government and the Tobacco industry that changed indentured servitude into slavery. Heck, even the Indians were involved in battles over the money surrounding Tobacco.

    Great show Glenn!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Johnson_%28American_Colonial%29

    I think it was discussed on a Glenn Beck special, at his web site, that early settlers arrived to America and met an English speaking Indian. He was previously captured by the English, taken to England, later released, and returned to America. He learned English while captive. How wild is that? Fateful and simply Divine. I think it was the historian that wrote Sacred Fire IIRC. Great stuff.

    Glenn’s religious beliefs include the notion that America is a corrupt nation that is destined for God’s judgment and wrath, with the Mormons emerging as God’s elect. Decerning minds want to know, is Glenn evangelizing his religion, with all his end of the world doom and gloom, with his gold, his guns, his gated community, and his supply of last days seeds? Why all that? The end is near, so be prepared? Glenn is dark about the immediate future, he has a bunker prepared, literally, so if that is true, if these are the end days, and America is corrupt and must suffer horendous judgment, with a collapse of the government, the monetary system, and civilization as we know it, then of course there is a communist, or a nazi, or a racist lurking somewhere, for sure. Rather, from a standpoint of belief that includes a positive outlook, that presumes the Grace of God, and the continuing love of God, through all troubled times, with our country and its Constitution intact, that sees the future positively, without fear, knowing that we always overcome, Beck is pessimist, a fear monger. Yet if we look for peace, it will be there. Glenn is a cheerleader for doom because the doom must come before the great reward, the supremecy of the elect, with Glenn, Smith, Young, together with their many wives, standing with Jesus, and the unfortunately named, “Moronie”, like shepards over the world.

    It’s ironic that conservatives HATE evolution and survival of the fittest, but LOVE a completely unconstrained free market. Both are exactly the same thing, except financial versus organic.

    AWFULly stupid, continue to wallow in your pool of denial, that’s fine. The news of the day is how the Dem’s are telling their guys to stop saying Obamacare will reduce costs, because they are finally admitting it was a LIE!!!!!

    What a surprise- another word-twisting lib. Your critique of Beck’s comments have been duly noted and will be considered.

    Oh, wait, you didn’t have any critique except for me. Now I know to just “thumbs down” your posts and move on w/out reading.

    Now, now Michelle-in-Utah, calm down. If you ever cited from anything or by anyone other than throughly discredited and disreputable sources, you might have a bit more credibility. —– No, you’re right. That probably wouldn’t work either. Intellectual dishonesty is its own punishment.

    My dear bitter, angry, intellectually dishonest Michelle-in-Utah. I take it you’ve finished dusting off all of you employee of the month awards and are now ready to spead your daily dose of lies and venom? Do you ever read the articles from which you copy and paste? If you did you’d know that all of the lies Republican operatives formed about health care reform and which you willingly and maliciously, in a very, very small and demonstrably ineffective manner are being reheated, presumably because you have nothing else at your disposal. None of the Democrats are backtracking or lying about HCR. They have simply had to come up with another PR campaign to throw back at your constant lies and the constant lies of your ilk.

    Yes, we all understand that you take some sadistic pleasure in seeing children and the elderly deprived of medical ca. much like the pleasure you take in having children reipped from their mothers’ arms at the border. So, can’t we just drop the pretense of policy objections and just go to the heart of your pathologies?

    Not so. I totally respect the Mormon right to practice their religion. I do not believe in their stuff, myself, which is an expression of my own freedom of religion, however. So your view is that if someone seeks to know what a religion teaches, and notices that a person’s religious beliefs are being presented under the cover of “political commentary”, as a kind of “hidden agenda” witnessing for that religion, then that makes a person a bigot? You are certainly wrong on that. If Glenn believes the nation is going to collapse, as a matter of religious faith, and that influences what he says, the views he expresses, how is that not relevent to rational men and woman seeking to understand? Its the same with Reverend Moon. If Moon teaches that he is the Messiah, and that he intends to put the entire world under his feet, and that he intends to further his agenda in that regard via a newspaper, the Washington Times, how is that not relevent? Again, no problem with the practice of religion, I celebrate that stuff. But if someone is trying to convert me, I want to know up front. That’s not bigotry, it is fundamental fairness.

    With all due respect, Val, you have made a wonderfully reasoned argument. Thank you. This has value and meaning to many of us. As for Michelle-in-Utah, however, she is not a reasonable person, and she seeks solace in persistent prolonged bleats, kvetches, moans and whines of victimization. That is her reason. I trust you are not expecting her to take you very well-reasone argument is anything more than another personal stone thrown at her glass house?

    That is absolutely correct. The religious conservatives, especially, hate Darwin, hate the scientific theory of natural selection, while the no tax, no regulation conservatives essentially seek to preserve a survival of the fittest economic environment.

    King, all of your mocking me for saying black racism exists has finally paid off. I’ve become a black Muslim. Now I can do things such as hate Jews and be for strict segregation, with your assurance that there can be nothing racist about it. Thanks, King.

    You can’t become a black Muslim, writer. A person “becomes” a Christian, but in order to be Muslim or a Jew, according Billy Graham’s evangelist son, you must be born with the “seed” of Islam or Judaism. http://tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/08/franklin-graham-i-think-the-presidents-problem-is-that-he-was-born-a-muslim-video.php?ref=fpb

    Apparently, according to Graham, yep. Apparently no limitation on he becoming the candyman, though.

    I think I’ll ignore Graham and be a black Muslim anyway. Then I can be as racist as I want, but the King won’t be allowed to call me one.

    ClimateGate exposed the FRAUD!

    Become informed!

    Climate change exists. No fraud. It happens. This earth goes through it quite a bit. Now, is the current climate change manmade? I don’t think so, but I’m not a scientist. See we’ve had two Ice Ages, and we are due for another. Some think that man has actually slowed down the Ice Age, but you won’t be able to stop it. (Just like you can’t stop another Ice Age movie.) The last few seasons have shown signs of extreme weather patterns that do create a climate change. Again, it’s happened before. Here’s a thing that people may not get, especially the religious ones, but the Earth wasn’t built for us. We are late players in the game. Just because we’ve got a few emails out there with people falsifying facts doesn’t change the fact…the weather is a-changin’. We can’t stop it. We can only put our fingers in our ears and scream really loud “I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you!” Change is scary, Juan. Go with it or freeze to death.

  • alamo2

    I have never understood why any intelligent person who has done any reasonable amount of research would deny that the theory of evolution has validity; and that evolution in no way stands in the way of Christianity. Why, the Catholic Church (of which I am not a member), even says that evolution and Christianity can exist side by side. And that is whay most intelligent Christians believe.

  • Snipzor

    “Glenn Beck Christens Charles Darwin ‘The Father Of Modern-Day Racism’, because if anyone knows anything about racism, it’s a Mormon”

    Fixed title. Seriously, a Christian slandering a dead man, all in the desire to discredit the theory of evolution which is pretty much scientific fact at this point because it must be accepted for modern medicine to be at this point (Just one example). I’m sure I know what a few wingers are thinking right now.

    “Evolution is a fraud because Darwin was a racist!!1!”

    Just like climate change actually.

    “Climate change is bullshit because of a bunch of emails we haven’t read or understood, even though the reputable scientists who argue against global warming understand that climate change is a real threat!”

    That last one was a bit wordy…

    Leave it to Beck-the-Bonehead to not research any topic any time before spewing his verbal diah****h. It was Eugenics not Darwin that drove the Nazi murder of millions. (Glen B-t-B: Eugenics is the study and practice of selective breeding applied to humans, with the aim of improving the species).

  • KMLake

    Oh and P.S. Eugenics, evil notion that it is… can be applied to any group thought inferior even folks with minimal IQs like Beck-t-B.

  • writer

    Let me get this straight, GBR. Black Muslims can hate Jews and be for segregation, but if I say they’re racist, people such as yourself and Royal King will call me the racist for saying it.

  • writer

    valk, I’ll stay away from the Islam jokes. Bad things happen to people who make them.

  • mamamary

    Give a monkey a chalkboard and a pointer and a pompous delivery and some knuckleheads will say he is brilliant and proves everything he says. I watched this clip and wtf is the man saying. What is his point?

  • Liberty_Hound

    Charles Darwin was right about many things but he also thought the Negro race and the Native American for that matter were not fully evolved. Later came eugenics. Something he probably would not have supported but he did plant the seed. There is no denying this.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Descent_of_Man,_and_Selection_in_Relation_to_Sex. There plenty of data out there. There are several links to eugenic, Darwinism etc.

    The real difference between what Darwin believed and the Eugenics crowd believed was that Darwin believed that nature selection would wipe out inferior races or the blood line of inferior people. The eugenics crowd like Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson and Margret Sanger and quite a few others wanted to speed up the process because nature selection wasn’t working too hot.

    Margret Sanger who is considered the founder of Planned Parenthood was initially big on birth control not because of women reproductive rights but so they (the eugenics crowd) could stop the undesirables from reproducing,

    As the people here in American stopped talking about eugenics the Germans had already picked it up and we all know what happened then, 6 million Jews wiped from the face of the earth.

    Beck is at the very least is partially correct.
