1.) If you don't like Beck, Don't watch him.
2.) I agree with Beck
3.) If you don't, well, that's what is great about America

“Can you explain what you mean by the white culture?†Couric insisted, “because some people say that sounds kind of racist.â€
I love the "some people" reference. Who would say white culture is racist. There is a month celebrating black culture and yet someone says "white culture" and that is racist?

He has been a good Patsy to you liberals. You don't even need to worry about issues when you have commentators to rag on. Is this progress?
You = Fail!
Glen Beck, FNC, MSNBC, Joy Behar, etc. = MSM

If we have a "black culture," in this country then why can't we have a "white culture" with out it being racist? If he had attempeted to describe it in any way she would have called him a racist and played it out even worse then it is now.

White Culture, Black Culture, Yellow Culture, Red Culture. Brown Culture, Who cares, a damn
socialist liberal is a socialist liberal no matter what color they hide behind.

"a successful advertising boycott of his Fox News program" LOL How successful has it been if he's still on the air? I thought the idea of that boycott was for him to lose his show? Meanwhile, Fox has the highest ratings of any news channel that exists, by far. I think you need to look up the word "successful" and find out what it means.
I think that Obama is a racist as well. He's written several racist statements in his books like these:
From "Dreams of My Father"
:
“I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.â€
“The emotion between the races could never be pure….. The other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.â€
“I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whitesâ€
“never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa , that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself..â€.
“That hate hadn’t gone away,†he wrote, blaming “white people — some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.â€
“There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,†he wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name namesâ€
“I had grown accustomed, everywhere, to suspicions between the races.â€
He attended a church that spews racism for 20 years and befriended the "head racist" to the point that Wright married he and Michelle and baptized his two children. He even called his grandmother a "typical White woman."
Do you think Beck, or any other White commentator, could get away with just one of these things? Please! Stop ignoring the facts and making excuses for him!
Now, why should he have to explain anything to her or to Adrian? I stand behind my assertion that Obama is a racist whether or not Beck explains what "White culture" is.

So much for straight talk.
I find this remark particularly amusing:
"(I'm) not going to get into your soundbite gotcha game.."
Yet, it is Beck, himself, who relies heavily upon "gotcha journalism" and other misrepresentations for his show.

As long as you are still working, it is best to remain Politically correct for fear of losing your job. Much like having the Taliban with a knife to your Throat or a Muslim for drawing a cartoon. Neither one of these people had anything to do with the founding of this country, and yet they continue to place a bag over our heads when anyone wants to speak the truth. Black neighborhoods speaks volumes of what is wrong with Black People or Latinos. All over the world, and I've traveled to many countries, they speak up about what is wrong with Blacks. It's only in this country where we try to get along in a phony kind of way. Even Blacks discriminate against each other, dark against darker. If you do not beleive you are a racist, wait till you end up in prison, then tell them that you want to stay with the opposite race.

Can you explain to me how the term "white culture" can be deemed racist?
Blacks have a culture.
Orientals have a culture
Hispanics have a culture.
Semites have a culture.
Put the damn race card away, please.
