Glenn Beck Called Chicago Bears’ Brian Urlacher A “Neo-Nazi”
Not Photoshopped
Lewis Black famously diagnosed Glenn Beck with “Nazi Tourette’s.” Well, it seems that Glenn’s condition has struck again…
On his show this week, Glenn Beck discussed The Root’s recently published list of “The Blackest White Folks We Know.” On Beck’s chalkboard were pictures of many of the people on the list.
As he was running through them, Glenn Beck referred to Brian Urlacher, a Chicago Bears linebacker, as a neo-nazi:
Pointing to Urlacher’s picture, Glenn Beck observed: “I think this guy’s a neo-nazi.”
Glenn Beck’s recklessness vividly on display, no?
Paging Lewis Black.
Update: Fox’s Chicago station covered the story. Here’s a meta screenshot:

Hi, I love the Chicago Bears but I love my country more so straighten up Urlacher we need you to stand up for your country and BE MORE LIKE GLENN BECK! The country is going to (h)ell , and we need people to stand up for the Constitution, the rights of LEGAL AMERICANS against illegal immigrants who have no rights here because they are not CITIZENS, and the rest of the freedoms getting stolen by government every day and twice on Sunday. Beck is great. The tea party is great. Arizona is great! Believe in freedom of speech and free America under God. Yeah!!

Nothing Glenn Beck says has content or context. He says nothing that is meaningful or useful to anyone except himself.
All name calling and lies.

J-O-K-E. You are really sad. Beck doesn't even know who Urlacher is, let alone seriously mean to call him a Neo Nazi. You reach more than Media Matters. Why don't you get serious?

Even Urlancher understood the context in which Beck made the comment. You have taken this waaaay out of context. So if Urlancher is ok with it……let it go. Lets make sure we understand context before we start name calling.

Be more like Glenn beck? You mean be a philistine and liar? The man does not stand up for the rights of anyone. He is a false prophet. He draws ludicrous and often patently false connections between people in the Obama administration, or even remotely connected to it, and the so called destruction of the American way of life. If you want to have an intelligent conversation about the direction America is going I promise you Glenn Beck is not your guy. His sole purpose is to draw attention to himself through outlandish antics and hateful speech. Please find yourself a new champion of the American people.

With all do respect, I must inform you that if you read the constitution….all PERSONS in the United States are endowed with equal rights under the fourteenth amendment. NOT ALL CITIZENS. So you are dead wrong in saying illegal immigrants have no rights under our constitution. Don’t spread ignorance without checking your facts.
