Glenn Beck Explains How ‘Little Boy’ Obama Was ‘Abandoned’ For Marxism

Glenn Beck had been suggesting for some time now that the anger against Barack Obama had been misguided– instead, the President deserved pity. Today, he explained why. Brace yourself–“you’re going to feel sorry for the little boy Barry Obama.”

Today, the chalkboard was devoid of words, with only a shoddy rectangle to serve as a house “foundation,” though, considering it was meant to be the Obama household’s foundation, it probably looked like it couldn’t hold a feather intentionally. Beck proceeded to build the “foundation” with the history of Obama’s parents (and, of course, magnet pictures of them). Shockingly, Beck labels them both Marxist radicals.

What’s worse, they were so devoted to their cause, he argues, that they abandoned Barack in favor of their ideology. His father, an avowed “communist,” left the boy to return to Harvard and continue his leftist studies. And his mother, “Dorothy from Kansas,” abandoned him for “critical theory,” which Beck defines as “Marx to the extreme” but is more accurately an unintelligible lump of lazy French philosophy typically worshipped in institutions of higher learning.

It’s certainly an unorthodox approach to attacking a political enemy, to dig up old photos and declare that “the tragedy of this kid’s childhood is staggering.” And it makes for some surreal TV, sort of what one would expect A&E’s “Biography” series to be like if the executive producer was Joe McCarthy on a good day.
