...due Glenn Beck being a total nutjob! Makes you wonder how it took them so long to realise.

Here

I mentioned what he said on here weeks ago, but somehow it took a while to sink in.

I wouldn't say Obama is a racist. But those people who want him to be top of Political Tree were racist. Every single thing was black this, black that.

If it was white it would be a no-no.

I doubt Obama could give a st, as he is just as much white as black and has spent most of his life surrounded by white people.

"An angry Waitrose shopper who emailed the chain to express his distaste over its decision "to be associated with this particular form of rightwing cant" received an apology last week."

Assuming the Waitrose shopper was a chap from the east end of London this seems a little strong .... eek ..or am I misreading it.

Charlie Booker introduced me to him. He is a first class plank who thinks he is part of the Aryan race.

Yep. I'd say he's an utter and complete cant. Fox have lost quite a few advertisers in the USA because of the cant. Maybe Rupert will wake up soon and decide that he needs to make his channel cant free.

Also fun & games developing with this website (note the page title), which parodies his "interview" style, and which he is trying to get shut down by nefarious means.

As the site owners formally responded:
"Why won't Glenn Beck deny these allegations? We're not accusing Glenn Beck of raping and murdering a young girl in 1990 -- in fact, we think he didn't! But we can't help but wonder, since he has failed to deny these horrible allegations. Why won't he deny that he raped and killed a young girl in 1990??"
