Beck blames Michelle Obama for new bi-racial Spider-Man

Radio host Glenn Beck Wednesday joined a chorus of conservatives who are outraged that the new Ultimate Spider-Man is half black and half Latino.

But Beck went even further, speculating that the new superhero incarnation may be the fault of first lady Michele Obama.

“He looks just like President Obama,” Beck complained. “This one is half Hispanic and half black. Do I care if he’s half Hispanic, all Hispanic? No. Half black? I don’t care. I really don’t care. Half gay, all gay? I don’t really care! It’s a stupid comic book.”

“However, what I do care about is the fact that I think a lot of this stuff is being done intentionally,” he added, pointing to a remark Michele Obama made in 2008: “We’re going to have to change our traditions, our history.”


Really Glenn? Did you forget to take your meds this morning or something?

what the little voices in Glen Beck's head will tell him to do next? :rofl:

This man is just a whack job. Why anyone still gives him a public forum is beyond me. :shrug:

8. His neurotic voices in his head are probably more sane than
his own that regularly spiels such bizarre inanity.

2. Today's Daily Dose of "an idiot said what?"
I read yesterday that it was actually Donald (no relation to Danny) Glover.


http://www.usatoday.com/life/comics/2011-08-02-new-spider-man-inside_n.htm

A year ago, Community star Donald Glover embarked on a Twitter campaign to play an African-American version of Spider-Man in a new movie (a role that went to white actor Andrew Garfield for next summer's The Amazing Spider-Man). As an inside joke, he appeared on the season premiere in Spider-Man pajamas.

9. Can someone put him out of our misery? Sheesh!
The 2012 election is going to totally divide our country. I thought the last was bad. This one is going to be vile.

10. Yes, I fear that you are right.
As ugly as things are now, they are only going to get worse when the primary process is in full swing.

11. Just wait until Glenn Beck needs Spider-Man to save him from a mugger or something.
Spider-Man will spit on Glenn in the street. Maybe web him all up so the mugger can attack him more easily.

13. "a lot of stuff being done intentionally"
Yes, Glenn, there sure is...and the one you choose to distract the mouth breathing fucktards with is a comic book character's race.

Well done

14. Come on, Glen -- make sure she really deserves it before you give her credit.
I mean, the comic writers might have had a little something to do with it.

16. Since he really doesn't care, then why worry about it?
:rofl:

Glen doesn't know which way is up! Well that is par for the course.

I know people who take this guy seriously. :scared:
