The verdict’s in, the Tea Party’s racist; and guess who the judge is? Glenn Beck; yes that’s right, Glenn Beck. Professor Beck said on Friday that Newt Gingrich’s such a “progressive” that any supporters of his who oppose President Obama are doing so because of Obama’s race.
Beck’s reportedly been very vocal about his dislike for Newton, and he hosted the Republican Tea Party (GOTP) presidential frontrunner recently for a notably tough interview. Last week, the Beckster appeared on the Fox Business show “Freedom Watch” and hammered Gingrich even more.
Calling him “the only candidate I cannot vote for,” Beck said Newton’s so-called support for Theodore Roosevelt “ridiculous,” and said he’d issued a “challenge” to any Tea Party supporters of the former House Speaker.
“You read this guy’s record,” he said. “You read his words…see what he believes. This man is a progressive. He knows he’s a progressive. He doesn’t have a problem with being a progressive. So if you’ve got a big government progressive [in Gingrich] or a big government progressive in Obama, one in Newt Gingrich, one in Obama, ask yourself this Tea Party. Is it about Obama’s race? Because that’s what it appears to be to me. If you’re against him but you’re for this guy, it must be about race.”
“It must be about race,” the host, Andrew Napolitano, said. “I mean, what else is it about, Judge?” Beck said. “It’s the policies that matter.”
Wow, who ever thought Glenn Beck would be calling the Tea Party racists? It must be a cold day in …
