Huckabee Slams Beck, Calls Him ‘Inept’ In Response To Michelle Obama Comments (UPDATE)

Two days ago on his radio show, Glenn Beck called Mike Huckabee a “progressive,” a word which, in certain circles, carries the same stigma as “serial killer,” “rapist,” and “zombie Dracula” all combined in one (UPDATE on this point at bottom). Huckabee has responded with a blistering message on his website entitled, simply, “RESPONSE TO GLENN BECK.” While the title is plain and basic sounding, the response itself is overflowing in its critique of Beck, with Huckabee instructing him to ” to clean his gun and point it more carefully lest it blow up in his face like it did this time.”

The whole thing started over Huckabee’s support of Michelle Obama’s child obesity programs which, in certain circles, is thought to be as evil as “fascism,” “nanny state control,” and “zombie Dracula” all combined in one. This isn’t the first time Huckabee has gotten in a fight for defending the First Lady’s clearly sinister attempts to help our kids get a little healthier. It’s also not the first time that fight has been with a fellow Fox News personality (see: Palin, Sarah).

Here’s Huckabee’s full message:

“This week Glenn Beck has taken to his radio show to attack me as a Progressive, which he has said is the same as a ‘cancer’ and a ‘Nazi.’ What did I do that apparently caused him to link me to a fatal disease and a form of government that murdered millions of innocent Jews? I had the audacity—not of hope—but the audacity to give respect to the efforts of First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign to address childhood obesity. I’m no fan of her husband’s policies for sure, but I have appreciated her efforts that Beck misrepresented—either out of ignorance or out of a deliberate attempt to distort them to create yet another “boogey man” hiding in the closet that he and only he can see. The First Lady’s approach is about personal responsibility—not the government literally taking candy from a baby’s mouth. He seems to fancy himself a prophet of sorts for his linking so many people and events together to describe a massive global conspiracy for pretty much everything. Sadly, he seems equally inept at recognizing the obvious fact that children are increasingly obese and that we now see clinical evidence of diseases in children that as recent as 20 years ago were found only in adults, such as Type 2 diabetes. The costs to our nation are staggering in increase health care expenses, but it even effects national security with now 75% of young men between the ages of 17 and 24 are unfit for military service primarily due to obesity! His ridiculous claim that John McCain and I collaborated and conspired in the 2008 campaign is especially laughable. Is he not aware that McCain and I were competitors—not cohorts? Beck needs to stick to conspiracies that can’t be so easily de-bunked by facts. Why Beck has decided to aim his overloaded guns on me is beyond me. But he ought to clean his gun and point it more carefully lest it blow up in his face like it did this time.”

While Huckabee was clearly provoked, it is still interesting that this is the second time this week that a leading conservative has hit hard against Beck.

UPDATE: A closer listen, brought on by some helpful readers (thanks!), makes it clear that Beck never specifically called Huckabee a “progressive” exactly. He did say he was “perfect for progressives.” What do you think? Did Huckabee overreact? Is he jumping on the Attack Beck bandwagon or was this statement needed to clarify his opinion?

SECOND UPDATE: Well, it looks like we won’t be getting any big fight after all. The Blaze (which Beck owns, of course) has written up the incident and calls it all overblown. Pointing out that Beck also praised Huckabee in a different section of that interview, they denounce media outlets for hoping for “an all-out war between two prominent conservatives.” Um…don’t know what you’re talking about.

While Huckabee’s post still sounded like fighting words, this Blaze post definitely implies that Beck isn’t joining in.

Darn. I guess we’ll have to go back to hoping Paul Ryan calls Mitt Romney fat or something.

Check out the clip of Beck’s original comments below:

“Zombie Dracula.” Damn you Jon. Now I have to wipe off my keyboard.

Beck is so reactionary. I bet if you took Paul Ryan’s policies, and told Beck that Obama came up with them, he’d be jumping all over them.

Honestly, he can’t get off Fox soon enough. Conservatives have enough to worry about without this guy running around and making us look bad.

The Huckster sounded sensible for a few minutes…..Kiss the GOP nomination goodbye!
ModerateMan

I don’t think Huckabee has any malicious intent. He is just not too terribly bright. The whole argument for liberal policies has become to demagogue about all the issues when it comes to the government taking more and more control over private choices. Huckabee apparently doesn’t see this. When you support Michele Obama’s ideas about childhood diets with it’s liberal results (goverment control of personal choices) then you don’t deserve to be called a conservative.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — John McCain, meet Mike Huckabee. You’re now rivals.

Until now the two Republican presidential candidates have been convenient allies – the two David’s who knocked down Mitt Romney, the financial Goliath. But there’s nothing convenient about Michigan and South Carolina, states that could make or break either candidate’s hopes for being the next Republican presidential nominee.

Did you see the dig that the Huck through about the gun blowing up? That was about Fox sending Glenn out to pasture. Purely lovely.

Although The Huck does occasionally says the right things (I mean, ANYBODY who slams nut-job matthews has some good qualities), fact is he is totally, completely unequivocally UNACCEPTABLE as a presidential candidate.

The Huck is an ABSOLUTE, GUARANTEED, 100% LOSER if he runs for president. WHY? Just look at his pathetic actions and positions (which, unfortunately, remain largely UNKNOWN):

1. The Huck’s multiple pardons and releases of convicted rapists and murderers when he was governor. Thanks to Huck, these murderers and rapists were able to kill and rape again.
2. The Huck’s support for massive TAX INCREASES when he was governor and his total failure to cut a penny of state spending (sounds like a d-crat socialist, doesn’t it?)
3. The Huck’s SUPPORT for “for the first time in my life I am proud of my country” michelle’s NANNY STATE dementia. (The Huck ALSO wants the government to tell you what to wear, what to eat, what to think, what to drive, what to carry groceries in, what box to check in elections, what to drink, what to do every moment of every day…. just like a lunatic-lefty)
4. The Huck thinks that Rev. “God Damn America” wright, “You Lie!” hussein’s vile, racist mentor for 20+ years, should not get any focus from conservatives.

The Huck is one of the MOST PATHETIC choices for president America has ever had (except for “You Lie!” hussein, of course.)

Huckabee writes..”The First Lady’s approach is about personal responsibility—not the government literally taking candy from a baby’s mouth.” …Sorry Huckster..THIS IS WHY YOU WILL NEVER GET THE NOMINATION. She DOES want the government to LITERALLY take candy from a baby’s mouth.

Bobomatic

As a conservative, I’m not a big fan of either one of these guys… Beck just gets on my nerves in his preachy kind of style and Huckabee is a nice guy, seems sensible enough, speaks well, but something just doesn’t click with me. So as far as I’m concerned, the feud is irrelevant, but no doubt, the liberal media will beat it to death.

Republicans need more candidates like Huckabee. I would never vote for him, but Huckabee always came across politically like an honorable person. Which is why he’ll never get the nomination. Especially now that he’s gone rogue revealing how Beck panders to his mouth-breathing audience, conjuring up nightly excuses to hate liberals.
Bye Huckabee! I wish there were more Republicans like you. Ones I can disagree with and yet respect. Next time, hate what Rush hates, buy whatever tripe Beck is selling, embrace Hannity’s truth-twisting propaganda and the nomination is yours!

Now please tell me I’m a loony liberal who hates America.

rfburn

Huckabee is a progressive, it IS that simple.

All you Lefties are getting way too excited about Glenn Beck and his supposed down fall.

There is no down fall, he is as popular as ever and proceeding with plans he announced (yet kept some what under the covers) more than a year ago.
JimP

This is classic Huckabee. First, he gets accurately depicted for what he truly is, in this case by Beck. Then Huck denies the truth, dissembles, uses strawmen arguments (just like Obama), and insists that his critic doesn’t know what he/she is talking about. Beck accurately described Huck as a progressive. Sure Huck has some conservative positions, but overall he’s a Bush style, big government, Republican. He is also a ‘Christian socialist’ who believes government should be doing God’s work (aka: social programs and spending), which is just more proof that he’s a big government Republican. So, calling him a progressive is accurate shorthand. See the CATO Institutes analysis of him for Huck’s actual record while in office.
Nationman

IT’S ANOTHER RINO! Thank you beck pointing this out to us, so we can burn I mean purge the witch I mean progressive from the party.
winning

It’s no surprise that Huckabee takes Beck out of context, Beck is a Mormon.

Although rarely spoken, it’s well known within political circles that Huckabee is responsible for giving us that phenom of a successful candidate, John McCain. How? Although Huckabee knew he was a distant third once the other candidates left, behind Romney and McCain, he stayed nevertheless to pound the Southern Christian drum and to make Romney, a Mormon, unpalatable.

Romney would not be my first choice, I’m not a Beck fan, and I’m not Mormon. But it’s pretty obvious that Huckabee considers Mudbone to be preferable over someone whose religion doesn’t quite sync up his own, which makes him a loser.

Did Huckabee take the Conservative Purity test?

Please don’t lump all Southern Christians with Huckabee. I’m one and believe me, Huck’s bigotry toward Mormons is not representative of the vast majority of Southern Christians. Other than this point, I agree with everything in your comment. Huck is a fraud. He appeals only to those who have not actually looked or paid attention. This is another similarity he has with Obama: He’s a fake, but has appeal to people who don’t take time to look even a little bit closely.
JimP

RE: THE UPDATE

I think the point is well made. It is also typical of Huckabee to overreact. What’s Huck so sensitive about? Because he knows Beck is correct on this point. Usually, when Huck is complaining about being wrongly characterized or being attacked it’s because the criticism is dead on accurate.
Coralchristie

I think that Beck’s evaluation of Huckabee was “dead-on” in this case and was in no way a personal attack on him. He stated his opinion and why. Huckabee on the other hand got mean and personal and …dare I say it?…unChristian.
tommyd

Once again I would ask, what part of Beck’s statement is incorrect ?

Huckabee is what he is and he should just stay there on Fox and cash his pay checks.

Just because Huckster has religion does not make him a conservative. Don’t confuse the two.

As far as being honorable I suppose he was displaying all that Honor when he collaborated with McCain to prevent Romney from winning the GOP nomination .
That turned out real well didn’t it.

Yeah that is how an Honorable man would have conducted himself.

Huck thinks his own sH!t don’t stink..

If the GOP wants to lose again just go ahead and put up another Rhino or GOP fossil.. Watch the voters stay away in droves…

Whats wrong with Huck and Beck having a spat, over issues, and just being snide, so what? Its just rhetoric, they are both entertainers, and of course Beck was no endorser of Huck to begin with. Huck, a fundamentalist of the highest order, is not fond of Mormon doctrine, and they are all 99% going to vote for Romney.

It must seem very strange to a stupid person such as yourself that people of similar political views can disagree on things. Liberals are just dumb by nature, which is why they’re so easily led around by the nose by the elitist political class that they adore. Being really stupid is how their handlers can keep them in such a nice little herd; they say the things that they’re supposed to say, the do the things that they’re supposed to do, and in the end, they’ll die, jealous and bitter, and life will have passed them by as they’re waiting for their workers paradise that their puppetmasters never intend them to realize. Pathetic little creatures, really.

Actually, those stories have been largely bogus anyway. In the few instances in which this has been true, the rationale is security (liquor and drugs in sack lunches) and safety (some children bringing in food stuffs to which other children have serious, violent allergic reactions, like peanuts. But, let’s not allow the facts to get in Michelle-in-Utah’s way. Baseless hyperbole is much tastier to her, but still not as tasty as Slim Jims, Cheetos, Mountain Dew and Ding Dongs.

Chicago school bans some lunches brought from home

To encourage healthful eating, Chicago school doesn’t allow kids to bring lunches or certain snacks from home — and some parents, and many students, aren’t fans of the policy

Principal Elsa Carmona said her intention is to protect students from their own unhealthful food choices.

“Nutrition wise, it is better for the children to eat at the school,” Carmona said. “It’s about the nutrition and the excellent quality food that they are able to serve (in the lunchroom). It’s milk versus a Coke

You must understand, Ben; Liberal Hater is a moron and in her world liberals are bad people who need the government to take care of them simply because we don’t think tax dollars should go towards lard in lunches. In her world, anything the Obamas do is evil. She simply hates them for an irrational reason.

http://sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/ GlennBeckReview

It’s a week when the far right (reactionaries) are eating their own. First, the conservative Daily Caller listed a number of right-wing bloggers accusing Beck of stealing their content without attribution. That was the same day that Beck went on a rant about the National Steal from Work Day. What does hypocrisy look like? GLENN BECK IS WHAT HYPOCRISY LOOKS LIKE!

Breitbart is accusing Beck of throwing him under the bus during the Shirley Sherrod story because Beck was arguing that there was a larger context after first getting on the band wagon. (Theory: Beck spent time that day watching Sherrod on CNN.)

Now, far right Huckabee is slamming Beck because … well, Beck deserves it. Beck is a reckless loose cannon, and he doesn’t care who he smears. Huckabee is right to defend the first lady’s cause because we’re too damn fat in this country, and Beck is an ignorant genius of reactionary, yellow propaganda who will now have millions of ignorant sheeple (his followers) angry with Huckabee for having the gall to bad mouth their false prophet.

Clearly, Huckabee is not running for President. If he is, he just undermined his chances of getting the plebeian vote.

I know the backdrop to this issue. The Huckstar is definitely a fan of the Mormons, his anti Mormon position were well documented in 08. Beck is a Mormon (because his wife was hot) and he finds the need to blast The Huckstar because of his anti Mormon position, although not doing it outright, he is doing it through the back door by questioning his conservatism.

Huckabee isn’t a conservative, except in his religion. He’s progressive. Michelle Obama’s “let’s move/eat rabbit food” agenda is intrusive and disingenuous. We should get rid of the Department of Education in the first place- a creation of the Carter administration- and return power to the localities. However, the powerful and Obama-contributing teachers’ union would never allow a Democrat president to do that. The “problem” of childhood obesity is simple- cook well-balanced meals and feed the kids at home, make the kids go outside and play or take them to the park or some organized sport, don’t allow kids to sit in front of the t.v. or computer for hours at a time. IN OTHER WORDS, BE A PARENT- NO ONE FORCED YOU TO HAVE CHILDREN, SO ACT LIKE A RESPONSIBLE PARENT INSTEAD OF LIKE A FARM ANIMAL, EXPECTING THE FARMER TO GIVE YOU THE PROPER AMOUNT OF GRAIN.

Q-TIP absolutely states that Huckabee is a Progressive.Start about 35 seconds in. You cannot listen to this as a conservative and take away anything other than an attack on Huckabee. Screw Beck and his black helicopters. Look at the scoreboard real hard. Huck can take this thing.
Pablo

I don’t know about Huckabee being a progressive, but he’s definitely a nanny state guy. David Harsanyi in Nanny State: How Food Fascists, Teetotaling Do-Gooders, Priggish Moralists, and Other Boneheaded Bureaucrats are Turning America into a Nation of Children , circa 2007.

Take Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, who often and quite erroneously describes himself as a small-government conservative. As it happens, Huckabee subscribes to big-government intervention into lifestyle choices. His agenda is self-involved and driven heavily by his own achievements. As the New York Timnes reported, in the three years leading uo to the article Huckabee had shed more than 100 pounds and become a health enthusiast and exercise nut.

We salute his conversion to wholesome living. What we should not salute is his contention that everyone must now live as he does. Huckabee started this crusade with the Healthy Arkansas initiative, which began with a fairly mundane coercion of elementary and high schools to take on stricter rules regarding snacks. Soon Arkansas restaurants offering healthy alternatives and nutritional information were given special government stickers of approval. Neither of these issues, incidentally, are any of his business.

Huck’s got fat issues. he used to be obese, as was his entire family, if I remember that Christmas card aright. (maybe they still are, I don’t know.)

also he’s probably running for president, and realizing he can’t attract the voters who are Beck fans, he figures he might as well go after the voters who are Beck detractors.

also also, he caves on politically correct issues all the time. yet another reason he will not get the nomination.

It doesn’t take government INTERVENTION or a GOVERNMENT program to know how to be a parent- except in the minds of progressives. Michelle Obama’s own eating habits are not exactly a good example for others, nor are her husband’s. Get the government out of areas in which it has no business. Huckabee has had a weight problem ever since I first heard of him and food addictions are hard to control, BUT if you don’t put it in your mouth, the calories won’t turn into fat. If an adult or kid is FAT, barring a medical condition, it is because said adult or child consumes more calories than he/she burns in activities. We don’t need government intrusion into our eating habits. Michelle Obama has a full-time chef (and many sous chefs), and a trainer who flies in from Chicago, but she’s not exactly svelte. I am sick and tired of people pontificating so hypocritically.

Paleoconservatarian

It took a loooong time, but what should be illustrative is the Huckster’s defense of GOP progressivism. He’s taking a stand from the progressive wing of the party against a conservative voice. And like progressives do, he attacks unfairly, assuming the victimhood status of being called a nazi and cancer when Beck never said anything of the sort in relation to Huckabe. But Huckabe goes there voluntarily, makes the association himself and immediately launches into a defense of the kind-hearted, well intentioned activity of big government advocate Michelle Obama – no matter that Michelle’s program itself and like minded initiatives often takes the form of coercive force – just like you might expect from a self-attributed ‘compassionate conservative.’ This is the mentality that brought us prohibition. The rhetorical evidence is striking.

In relation to Beck, this continues an effort started by neo-conservative Bill Kristol, whose position that the revolutions in Egypt and the Mid East were 1776 all over again – a horrible prognostication and analysis made worse in light of subsequent events detrimental to America’s interest in the region – and that Glenn Beck was a nutter for suggesting otherwise. The proponents of the failed policies of the past – and the deeply flawed analysis of the present – want back their sway. From the folks who gave the Republicans their the largest landslide in living memory. Is it any wonder the progressives currently on-line are giddy at this turn of events?

I’m starting to recall again why I didn’t like the man’s influence in the ’08 primaries and why I never watched his show.

1. The Huck’s multiple pardons and releases of convicted rapists and murderers when he was governor. Thanks to Huck, these murderers and rapists were able to kill and rape again.
2. The Huck’s support for massive TAX INCREASES when he was governor and his total failure to cut a penny of state spending (sounds like a d-crat socialist, doesn’t it?)

Perhaps if you bothered to READ first before opening your mouth? What the First Lady is advocating is that people eat better- instead of a full time diet of fast food- get some vegetables in there. Provide your children with healthier choices and don’t allow them to spend all their free time in front of the computer, Xbox or TV. Get them moving- through play, sports or family activities. The government isn’t telling you what to do but she is hoping parents will step up to help their kids be healthy instead of obese couch potatoes. There is no government interference or mandated activities, just a mother of two who realized that her children and many of the children of America are not getting proper exercise and far too many are not eating healthy foods. Parents can choose to provide better choices and encourage activity. How is it any different than Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” to drugs? And by the way, the First Lady is in excellent condition and is not the least bit overweight. She is a tall woman and will never be a skinny model type because that isn’t the way she is built. She is a great example of good health and fitness. And she doesn’t advocate that you can never have less than the healthiest of foods- but that it should be the exception and not the rule.

There is no government interference or mandated activities, just a mother of two who realized that her children and many of the children of America are not getting proper exercise and far too many are not eating healthy foods. Parents can choose to provide better choices and encourage activity. How is it any different than Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” to drugs? And by the way, the First Lady is in excellent condition and is not the least bit overweight. She is a tall woman and will never be a skinny model type because that isn’t the way she is built. She is a great example of good health and fitness. And she doesn’t advocate that you can never have less than the healthiest of foods- but that it should be the exception and not the rule.

Great post!

The post you referenced, after you snipped out the bit about personal responsibility, likened supplicants to government run health and dietary care to farm animals… and you ran with THAT imagery of man’s relationship to power as an ideal to which Americans, as free individuals — humans with free-will – should aspire? Holy cow!

No, actually I was responding to YOUR comparison of U.S. citizens to farm animals.

How it’s different is Mrs. Obama is black & most, no ALL the people on this site that support the GOP or Tea Party hate & I mean HATE African Americans …

Stop projecting, freak. I’d fall to my knees and thank God for Allen West or Herman Cain to replace the Halfrican Marxist we’ve got in the White House right now. Both of those black guys get major love from the Tea Party you claim just can’t stand African-Americans. Why is that, racist?

Concur about Herman Cain and Allen West- both are leaders and would be outstanding presidents.

Michelle Obama is not just “suggesting” healthy life styles, as you can see from Pablo’s post above and from the absurd intrusions of government into our eating habits (always with the proviso that it’s “Do as I SAY, not as I DO” with politicians). Progressives have screwed up our education system while spending extraordinary amounts of money doing so and have certainly not “eliminated poverty” while putting in place a massively corrupt and inefficient system. Every time government gets into areas in which it has no business being, it mucks it up.

When the GOP starts “Eating its Own”, Obama wins as he did in 2008! The GOP needs to pick the front runners and lets get this dam show on the road, you already know Hillary ain’t bucking Buckwheat!

Accept West or Cain, by your actions and comments “NO” you won’t! Now, we don’t know that for a fact, but when hate rules your world without factual examples such as this Halfrican, Marxist crap, it’s hard to believe otherwise!
“Cain”, used to spit on the pizza, when he first started and “West “liked to wear strage men’s underwear! Now, is this true, not as far as I know, but this standard ‘tea” fare is the same kind of “made up crap” that is thrown out about Obama every day! None of it’s ever proven, but the “teas” love it!

First, X-3 says:
“Michelle still reminds me of Aunt Ester from Sanford and Son.”

And THE MAN says:
“…if Michelle leaves her grubby fingers….”

No racism here folks. Nope, none at all; nothing to see. Just of couple of ingrates hoping to die of complications from diabetes.

Glenn Beck is an arrogant, ignorant meat head. Not a fool or stupid, but meat head as in eating feces burgers. (See Common Nonsense for details.) Now, here’s Beck railing against a healthy lifestyle for children as promoted by Michelle Obama, but we remember that Beck is on a diet (http://www.glennbeck.com/2011/02/23/glenns-apocalyptic-stick-diet-begins/) and told NY Times Magazine that he dabbleS in pilates (exercise). So Beck is on a diet and exercise program and railing against Obama’s diet and exercise movement. See how that works in the world of Beck’s “logic?”

What does hypocrisy look like?
GLENN BECK IS WHAT HYPOCRISY LOOKS LIKE!

Pablo says:” I’d fall to my knees and [BLOW] Allen West or Herman Cain to replace the Halfrican Marxist….”

Oh, I missed the proud, house racist Pablo who’s “informed” by Beck’s ignorant, reactionary, yellow propaganda.

The strength and evil of Beck’s ability to turn reactionaries into psychotics like Pablo is just one way that Beck is dangerous. Beck’s leaving soon, but it will take a generation to undo the damage this evil genius of yellow propaganda has done to the minds to the ignorant and gullible sheeple who watch his show.

Beck is not crazy, but he plays a fruitcake on TV.

“Huckabee clearly only gets his news about what Beck does on his show comes from left-wing bloggers. In a battle with Beck the loser will be Huckabee.”

Clearly. Got that? Clearly! Huckabee is clued into Beck’s idiotic propaganda FOR child obesity because of “left-wing bloggers.” Not from Beck’s own stupid ideas. No, from the left. Like Huckabee has not been turned into this debate for months now, like when he chewed Palin out for her stupid rants against Obama’s dies and exercise program. Clearly! What’s clear is the Gordon is a bit of an idiot and a whack job.

Then, gordonthereactionaryblowhardwithashow adds:

“The GBR clown is back with his lies again. Get lost again.”

Right. I’m a “clown” because I expose Beck as a liar, a hypocrite (22 times in the last year) and therefore a complete charlatan. Gordon apparently suffers from rectal-cranial inversion because otherwise he’d know that I haven’t gone anywhere. I don’t waste my time here arguing with children (reactionaries like Gordon), but I haven’t gone anywhere. Gordon needs to go to a Dr. to see if one can get his head extracted from his anus. Then he might figure out that I’ve been here all along.

I think Huchabee is a really nice person but not Presidental material, in any way, shape, or form. Beck is a Patriot but I never listen to him or any or the radio or tv talk show hosts. I read the news and make my decisions on what the current Pontus is doing, not by what others think. I think Obama is the Worst President in American History and has shown he has no Honor or Integrity. Anyone who hides his past, as Obama does, should not be sitting in the Oval Office. If Obama was really born in American, then we just have to face the fact that he is a really horrible leader and has no idea what he is doing. If, in fact, he was not American Born, then he needs to see the inside of a Prison for many years to come. As far as his wife, Michelle, goes, does anyone really listen to what she has to say except for the die hard Progressive Pukes? Didn’t think so!

ALLEN WEST 2012! A proven Leader and Patriot, with a REAL Long Form BC he is not afraid to show!

Seeing how you have nothing to support your “hate” and “hate” only crap (no facts) against Obama, we must believe the hate is for the true reason and is the same reason you would ‘never” vote for “West”, no matter what you try to sell!

Damn, you finally hit one right Bombshell. Here I am supporting Allen West, some of my heroes include Charles Payne, Walter Williams, and Jackie Robinson; I guess that proves I’m not a racists, huh? Oh, except according to your warped definition of the term in which a “racist” is anyone who doesn’t bow down to -0bama. My remark about Michelle reminding me of the Aunt Ester character is just that–she looks like that character. I guess that also means I’m not a racist because I watch those programs with “colored folks” on them

Now, what kind of people call Allen West (and any other black conservative) foul names? Let me give you a big fat hint: It’s NOT conservatives.

Now, go back to spreading your lies about Glenn Beck, so everyone can remember what an obsessed, deranged, troll you are.

And what was that BS about what you incorrectly defined as “ad hominem” attacks. You have proven once again that if there is a hypocrite in our midst, it is most definitely YOU and not the great Glenn Beck–a man to whom you should pay homage not hate.
