And the buffoonery continues! During the December 8 edition of his radio program, Glenn Beck (in regards to the medical emergency that happened at the home of Tiger Woods earlier that morning) does a bit of schtick where he compares the troubled golfer to O.J. Simpson! I'm sure the Glenn Beck lovers will defend him by saying it was just a joke. Whatever. Since Beck is fond of telling his fan base to ask questions, I have one for him. Why make the Tiger/O.J. comparison?! Whether or not it's a joke, his linking of the two athletes may provide a window into how Beck's mind works. Could he be implying that a black man in a relationship with a white woman= violence? Let's say that all of the events surrounding the Tiger Woods controversy were the same... but instead of Tiger Woods being at the center, it was white golfer Phil Mickelson. Do you think Beck would have compared Phil to O.J. Simpson?The next thing you know, Beck will have his followers believing that Tiger Woods was behind the wheel of that white Ford Bronco during the infamous low-speed chase back in 1994. I can see the crazy chalkboard conspiracy now...

Woods should sue Beck for libel for even suggesting he committed a crime (mother-in-law). Other than that, I hear Woods, Simpson, Bryant and some sick suggestions on handling public relations. There is no connection between Woods and Simpson; that's ridiculous and Beck drivel. Notice how Beck slipped in a buzz word: Acorn?
Judi: It would serve Beck right to get slapped with a lawsuit. Yes, I caught how he tried to slip Acorn in... I'm surprised he didn't drag Van Jones and Anita Dunn into it. It's really sad that there are so many people out there who take Beck seriously.
Glenn Beck is the 21 Century Limbaugh tending to the old racist ideas under the guise of commentary and comedy!
Mista Jaycee: Good call on your part. Beck is good at playing the "I'm not a journalist, this is just commentary" card. One of the scary things about Glenn Beck is that people in his audience actually take him seriously.
