Glenn Beck now supports Black Lives Matter, says ‘Obama made me a better man’
2016-11-08
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Conservative radio talk show host Glenn Beck had nothing but praise for the Obamas in a recent interview with The New Yorker, saying the president was not the bogeyman he made him out to be all these years.

"I did a lot of freaking out about Barack Obama
I am not a dictator!...
," Mr. Beck said.

But, he added: "Obama made me a better man."

Mr. Beck said he regretted painting Mr. Obama as a racist and actually now considers himself a Black Lives Matter supporter.

"There are things unique to the African-American experience that I cannot relate to," he said. "I had to listen to them."

#22  Glen now a better man, Obama got in touch with his feminine side. I feel so left out, maybe I should go abuse myself, or wait, an hour at the shooting range should do it!

#21  In his own mind, Beck is just auditioning for the position of Kapo. He wants to be the last in line, regardless of the fact that as yet there is no line.

#20  So Beck how believes Only Black Lives Matter.

BLM basic 'demand' is that certain persons never be held accountable for their crimes based on the color of their skin (and their political leanings... conservative blacks need not apply).

#19  Paul Ryan Syndrome. Ryan was defeated as running mate for the White House. Beck was not the most populate talk radio host. In both cases the gut feel was these people were simply ambitious people. It never was about principle.

#15  Well, his break certainly fits in with the type of year that has been occurring. Beginning to wonder if the Mayans just missed the year by 4.

#14  He developed the same symptoms that Charles Johnson at LGF developed a decade ago. It's a variant of "dysphoric self-inflicted self-aggrandizement self-image" disorder.

Non-medical folks use the term "attention whore".

#11  Add him to the list with Ann Coulter and Peggy Noonan of commentators to ignore.

#10  He went nutsy-coocoo a while ago. This is why everyone started ignoring him.

#9  Another regurgitated hit piece with no context. No where (that I can find) does Beck claim to be a BLM "supporter". In his original op-ed he says he has "empathy" for the "true believers". (Which he distinguishes from the "political insiders and instigators") And if his critique of Trump qualifies him as nuts we better lower a net over half the country.

#5  He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother
