 Glenn Beck Refuses to Define ‘White Culture’

Posted: 24 Sep 2009 11:02 AM PDT

While speaking to Katie Couric, Glenn Beck was presented with a question from a Twitter user. He was asked what he meant by “white culture,” the phrase he used while calling President Obama a racist. Beck refused to define it any of the dozen times Couric prompted him for an answer. Whatever answers he did provide were snide and childish.

COURIC: A twitter question is, adrianinflorida: what do you mean by white culture?

BECK: Um, I, I don’t…

COURIC: You said he had a deep-seated hatred for the white culture, what is that? What is the white culture?

BECK: I guess it’s…gosh. I’m so tempted to make news here today.

COURIC: No no, I’m just curious, this was actually adrianinflorida.

BECK: What to do? What to do? Adrian, Go to glennbeck.com. Listen to it. You can hear all of it.

COURIC: No, but you didn’t really address white culture, I think, in your explanation about President Obama, I haven’t seen the whole show, but can you? Just for our purposes?

BECK: Just for your purposes? So this will be a little secret between us?

COURIC: No, for this show, can you explain what you mean by the white culture? Because some people say that sounds kind of racist.

BECK: Really? It’s amazing to me that, for the first time, I think in history somebody can ask a question and say, “Don’t you think that maybe we have several pieces here?” We have several pieces; George Bush says my grandmother was a typical African-American that had, that had her views bred into her. You don’t think maybe we would ask questions about that comment? How is it that the first time I think in history, you should check on it, somebody says, “Hey. There’s some red flags here maybe we should look at?” … How am I? How am I the target for asking questions?

COURIC: People just want to know. What is white culture?

BECK: I’m going to see if I can play your game. People just want to know.

COURIC: You know, well, Adrian wants to know.

BECK: That’s good for Adrian.

COURIC: No but I mean it’s fine if you make a statement though, shouldn’t you be able to defend exactly what you mean by it. I’m not –

BECK: Katie, how many times have you said, how many times have you said something where you’re like, “I didn’t think. What’s white culture? I don’t know. What’s the white culture?”

What? What is the white culture? I don’t know how to answer that that’s not a trap.

COURIC: Mhmm.

BECK: You know what I mean?

COURIC: Yeah I’m not, I’m just, I’m not trying to trap you, I’m just, I think people wanted to know what that meant exactly.

BECK: Well we know Adrian does.

COURIC: Yeah, and you’re not going to answer her?

BECK: I’m not going to get into your sound bite gotcha game which we already are. We already are.

COURIC: No we’re actually, this is completely unedited so if you felt like you wanted to explain it, you have all the time in the world.

BECK: Mhmm.

COURIC: No? Don’t want to go there?

BECK: Nope.

COURIC: But basically, you stand behind your assertion that in your view, President Obama is a racist.

BECK: I believe that Americans should ask themselves tough questions. Americans should turn over all the rocks and make their own decisions.

Which "white culture," Mr. Beck? Last I checked, the Amish and, say, the Hilton sisters, are both blazingly white.
Glenn Beck is filling Rush Limbaugh's shoes, because Rush is getting old, ineffectual, and irrelevant - at least as far as the circus goes. It's interesting that Beck (and Jane Velez-Mitchell) are both "recovering alcoholics" who, although their content differs, are currently making their living shouting on TV
Ohh yeah.. he's a biggie alright.
Rush isn't getting old or irrelevant, He's stepping back form the hog wallow so he can set out to enter politics. He won't go in as dog catcher either. He'll go straight to the senate and then on to president. That's why good old Rush has vanished from the front lines, Beck is the new public face of the Loonies. Rush can't be the one catching the feces as it's flung about. He is the coming savior of the right. The one who can unite them and pull the borderline whackos into the polls. Beck is so obviously a tool of the extreme right wing and his ties to religion aren't hurting him in the eyes of his troop of idiot monkeys who take his every word as gospel now, and when these folks call something gospell, they mean GOSPELL.
OMG - Enough Fn 'eck already ! Ric - this guy is worse than crank cooked in a shit bucket.
