Two points of view

So, about a week ago Glenn Beck called Obama "a racist" and said he had "a deep seated hatred of white people." Now, I will be the first to admit that I have a deep seated hatred of Glenn Beck. Why? Because he says patently stupid and inflammatory, and generally unhelpful, things in front of a national audience. After he said this incredibly Stupid Thing he walked it back 30 SECONDS later. He walked it back, 30 SECONDS later on FOX. He was amongst friends is what I'm saying. That's how stupid what he said was.

So, as a result, ColorOfChange started e-mailing advertisers to alert them to Glenn Beck's unsubstantiated and completely nuts comments and encourage said advertisers to not support this sort of program. Quite a few advertisers have pulled out, including Geico and Men's Wearhouse. 

Redstate.com objects to all of this. If Glenn Beck goes, the Liberal Nation will be empowered and Conservatives will be on the chopping block! After all, Glenn Beck is just the sort of person you want representing the Conservative point of view. And, of course, they do so in the most reasonable way possible, "Obama Brownshirts Try to Silence Glenn Beck." So, if I am understanding correctly, anyone who supports reasonable political discourse in this country (and obviously I do not personally hold myself to the 'reasonable' standard, but I'm not on TV), is a Nazi and anyone who thinks Glenn Beck is a fucking moron is on Obama's personal payroll. Glad I understand RedState's position.

Anyway...
