Glenn Beck, who always seems one moment away from imploding into a black hole of stupidity, one-upped himself on Fox & Friends (the morning show for Mensa members)


Gawker breaks down the madness:

With Glenn Beck running loose spouting all sorts of crazy-talk, you just knew at some point he’d say something to cause enough of an uproar that the Fox News brass would have to address it. Beck finally did that today.

The incident in question occurred this morning on Fox & Friends when Beck made his weekly drop-in on the folksy vegetables who host that show. In the course of discussing the controversy surrounding the arrest of Henry Louis Gates and Barack Obama’s subsequent comments on the matter, Beck said that Obama has a “deep-seeded hatred for white people and white culture…I’m not saying he doesn’t like white people…this guy is, I believe, a racist.”

Fox News then released this statement:

During Fox & Friends this morning, Glenn Beck expressed a personal opinion which represented his own views, not those of the Fox News Channel. And as with all commentators in the cable news arena, he is given the freedom to express his opinions.

Gawker cut to the heart of the lunacy: “So in other words, Fox News said this: Glenn Beck is free to use our airwaves to say whatever the hell he wants, no matter how baseless and irresponsible the things he says may be, and will you now please leave us the hell alone.”
