CONNECTING THE UGLY DOTS

What do this cartoon and Glenn Beck have in common?



You know Glenn Beck, he's the television talk show host sparked controversy last month when he said Obama, America's first black president, has a "deep-seated hatred for white people."

"This guy is, I believe, a racist," Beck said during an appearance on another program on News Corp.-owned Fox.

Bill Shine, Fox's senior vice president of programming, in comments to Mediabistro's TVNewser at the time, said Beck had expressed a "personal opinion which represented his own views, not those of the Fox News Channel.

"And as with all commentators in the cable news arena, he is given the freedom to express his opinions," Shine said.

The cartoon was published in the New York Post this past Spring. You know the New York Post, the rag sheet that is published by the same guy who owns Fox News, Rupport Murdoch.

ColorofChange organized an online petition to be sent to the presidents, chief executives and boards of companies advertising on Beck's show urging them to "immediately cease all advertising on the Glenn Beck Program."

Color of Change should really be targeting that asshole whose media organization seems to have a business model that profits by inciting hatred, racism and stupidity.
