The “r word” gets thrown around a lot! Especially on the Left. Conservatives have been called racist for years. Everyone knows why, too. It’s a classic liberal tactic. It’s all about changing the subject. For example, when the Tea Parties first came about, last April, many liberals didn’t want to admit that the majority of Americans are fed up with an overblown government. So, all of the sudden, the new byline was that the protests were all about racism. These redneck, backwoods white people were all upset that a black guy was in the White House. The press really carried stories like this. Uninformed, or just plain deceitful, celebrities made the rounds saying this junk.

Now, liberals are upset that Barack is being called a racist. It’s infuriating them, so in typical liberal fashion, they’re trying to silence the opposing view point. It’s happening to Glenn Beck. Some organization I’ve never heard of, colorofchange.org, is trying to get companies to pull the plug on advertising on Glenn’s Fox News program. Isn’t it ironic that the Left in this country, those who claim to be for free speech and honest debate, are the biggest promoters of censorship? Some may say, “They’re not trying to censor him, they’re trying to drive advertisers away.” Same dang thing. If a show looses it advertisers it is no longer commercially viable. Then, we all know what happens, the network pulls the plug. Some big advertisers, like Wal-Mart and Clorox, have already dropped out of Glenn’s show! This is nothing more than back door censorship. I know, it’s not the Government doing it, but I’d be very curious to know if this “Color of Change” organization receives any federal funding. Wait, what am I saying?  That’s a crazy thought! The Government wouldn’t fund people to do their dirty work, that’s just ridiculous.

ACORN. ‘Nuff said.

So here’s my question to all the groups like Color of Change: where were you when conservatives were being called racist? If it’s so offensive, why didn’t you stick up for that group? Oh wait; maybe you were the ones throwing out the accusations. Newsmax.com is running a story showing the group sells a t-shirt that says, “Kanye Was Right.” You may not remember, but Kanye West is the rapper who so ignorantly stated, on live television, that George Bush wasn’t responding to Hurricane Katrina victims in New Orleans (I clarify New Orleans because many seem to forget it hit other areas too, and other people had their lives changed, not just the folks in the Big Easy) fast enough because many of them were African American. He went on to say G.W. was giving permission for the National Guard to shoot black people. (If you’ve never seen the video of this, it’s very funny…unintentionally funny, but hilarious none the less. I’m sure YouTube has it up. The look on actor Mike Meyers face says it all.) On top of all this, so many of the liberals who are acting outraged by Glenn’s (and Rush’s, for that matter) recent accusations of racism on the part of the Left are the very ones who have thrown the accusation around the most in the past! But, for some reason, when the tables are turned, it’s offensive.

So I don’t know who is worse. This Color of Change group or the advertisers who are backing out of Glenn’s show, and acting like cowards. Seriously, do they really think this Color of Change group can do anything? Have any of us even heard of them before this mess? But the corporations know that soon the mainstream media will get wind of this, and they will stand with Color of Change and pressure these companies into bailing out. I just hope Fox News defends Glenn and keeps him on the air. I also hope Color of Change will issue some sort of statement trying to defend their actions, as I would enjoy picking it apart and tearing them up. It wouldn’t be hard. They have shown their true colors by this attempt to censor someone who happens to offer an opposing view. If they really believe what Glenn has said is any worse than what their buddies on the left have been saying for years, then they are ignorant! And their ignorance has nothing to do with their ethnicity. It has everything to do with them being liberal
