Several reports have surfaced describing the evacuation of advertisers from the Glen Beck show. In case you were under a rock, Beck recently accused Obama of being a racist. Geez. Obama a racist? It is about time that advertisers were held accountable to these ridiculous assertions.
Obama is being called many things these days in his effort to get healthcare reform passed. The Nazi signs are an amazing breach of sensibility. The absurdity is best depicted by the woman who accused Barney Frank of supporting Nazi policies. Nazi policies? And I loved Frank’s reply, “Talking to you would be like having a conversation with my dining room table.” Wake up, lady. Barney Frank is a Jew.
Free speech is great. People deserve the right to say what they want. But just because they say it does not mean it deserves attention or respect. Dial up the dialog, folks. Keep up the stupidity and we’ll end up with a Sarah Palin in the Whitehouse. Didn’t we learn that lesson from George Bush?
