In the meantime, beers at the White House

In the aftermath of the Henry Louis Gates alleged racial profiling arrest by Cambridge police officer Sgt. James Crowley, President Obama called for Gates, Crowley and himself to sit down at the White House and have some beers. This came after the president apologized for making the comment that the arrest was “stupid.” On the surface at least, it appears to be Obama’s attempt to make up for implying without evidence that Crowley’s actions were racially motivated.

Glenn Beck, a self-professed “rodeo clown,” is an unfortunately popular neo-con who has come forward with his own brand of senseless drivel. Glenn Beck says Obama is a racist. I say that you should apply for payday loans no faxing and short term loans if your budget is in need. Which one of us is right?
Helping America… that’s Glenn

Yet as you can see in the Fox News video below, folks like Glenn Beck aren’t ready to let go of the leather chew toy. He sees the president himself as someone who practices racial profiling: ... click here to read the rest of the article titled "Glenn Beck Calls Obama Racist, Screams For Cookie Crisp"
