‘When You Live on Live Television, You’re Gonna Say Stupid Things’: Glenn Beck Reflects in CNN Interview“You search the transcripts,” Beck challenged. “You find another show that talked about Gandhi, talked about Martin Luther King [Jr.], that talked about love, that talked about God, that talked about peace more than [the Glenn Beck Show].”
“And yet some people still remember [the show] for you saying on ‘Fox and Friends’ that President [Barack] Obama is a racist,” Stelter said. “It’s become a cliche, that that’s all you’re known for among some people who’ve never watched your show.”
...
Beck responded. “When you live your life five hours a day on live television or radio, you’re gonna say stupid things.”
“Was the racist comment one of the stupid ones?” Stelter asked.
“Of course it was,” Beck said. “But we all live and learn.”

I'm not sure what's happening to Glen Beck, but I am so disappointed. He is proud of his MLK and Gandhi shows? Does he know Gandhi was an anti-semite Jew-hater who said:"
Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs. What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct. The mandates have no sanction but that of the last war. Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs"
and"
And now a word to the Jews in Palestine. I have no doubt that they are going about it the wrong way. The Palestine of the Biblical conception is not geographical tract. It is in their hearts. But if they must look to the Palestine of geography as their national home, it is wrong to enter it under the shadow of the British gun. A religious act cannot be performed with the aid of the bayonet or the bomb. They can settle in Palestine only by the goodwill of the Arabs"
I am glad he is still a defender of Israel, at least for now, but I can't shake how he has changed recently. You should see the comments. Here are just a few of them:"
If I recall correctly, Beck quoted Obama’s book where Obama stated that “if he could expunge the white blood from his body, he would.” Now, if any white person exclaimed that they would, if they could, expunge any black blood from their body, the media would rightly call such an individual a racist." -Yellowhoard
"
Beck needs to have a program for only him about his present views—He has gotten so convoluted with his rhetoric I have no idea where he really stands any longer!!!! He was my HERO AT ONE TIME—I am no longer sure about him!!!" -ricckky
"
So calling Obummer racist is bad…. even though he actually is racist to some degree? The ship sails steadily leftward…. If Glenn’s past self looked at his current self he wouldn’t recognize the man standing in front of him." -mewnani
"
Obama is the most CORRECT thing Beck has said. Teddy Bears, not so much." -Rob
