Interesting article: The Racist Truth About Beck and Limbaugh

I check in at Rasmussen most days. I find it a slightly right leaning take on things, but it gives me a good gauge of what they're trying to push as an agenda. They have a clever way of tracking the President's approval that makes it a negative number even though he’s far more popular than the last Chief. I get a good laugh from the commentary often posted from former coke head turned financial expert Larry Kudlow. You know you're leaning right when he's presented as "the voice of reason".

So I was somewhat surprised this morning to find this:

Interesting stuff.

Take care,

I googled a bit to see if the "Black Guy" thing was true. Boy, did I find stuff. I saw Beck on CBS and actually thought "he seems kind of reasonable" but wondered if it was an act. Seems maybe his whole life is an act. And not a very good one.

"A couple days after Kelly's wife, Terry, had a miscarriage, Beck called her live on the air and says, 'We hear you had a miscarriage,' " remembers Brad Miller, a former Y95 DJ and Clear Channel programmer. "When Terry said, 'Yes,' Beck proceeded to joke about how Bruce [Kelly] apparently can't do anything right -- about he can't even have a baby."

I couldn't read the second one for all the pop ups, but I found it odd that the first one didn't mention Carter at all.

You should really give the second one a try. I don't know what to say about it except I really don't want this guy infecting my mind. What an ass hole.

Well, I got most of it, but I already knew all that stuff about Beck anyhow. He makes no bones about his past, since getting sober. That's a big part of the AA philosophy. You can't expect to get better, if you spend your life carrying guilt or remorse around on a daily basis. The key is to find some sort of forgiveness so that you can move on. You don't deny your past either, but once forgiven, you can stop whipping yourself. I wonder what kind of guy Obama could be, if he got honest with himself? Hmmm

Yes, but that was cocaine, totally different.

We all seem really quick to forgive the people we agree with.

He made a joke out of a woman's miscarrage. On the air. Ambushed a woman on live radio who had just been through that. Digest that idea for a minute. Disgusting. But carry on with your witty banter.

Oh, it's okay because he found Jesus now! That's what that creap in CA who abducted that girl and kept her in his back yard for 18 years said. Should we just let him go too? I mean, it's in the past and he makes no bones about it! Maybe we should give him a radio show and put him on Fox News.
