Is it every Mexican who belongs to "La Raza" or is it a minority of them? I think Glen Beck's view of "Mexicans conquering American culture" is also a minority view. I doubt the vast majority of Americans feel that way. Among Latin Americans things such as "La Raza" are the stuff of ignorant uneducated morons. I doubt there are many Hispanics who would think that they are out to conquer the United States.

Well, Glen Beck seems to switch between very intelligent and very stupid. I think in all of his ranting there are some very valid points, and also signs of very stong opinions that can insult a lot of people. If he engages in name calling, then we should not be surprised if we can call Glen Beck names.

I think Jimmy Carter's comment on the healthcare debate was uncalled for. Saying that opposition to healthcare is coming from a racist bias against the president is inaccurate and misleading. If an individual opposes healthcare on racial bias alone, then that individual would fail to attract the vast majority of the American public. Republicans know this. They are not stupid.

I found Geln Beck's "racist" comment as bad as the time when people came out and called George W. Bush a "nazi". At the time outrage over the war was used as a shield by those who insulted the president in that way. People get away with that because they know that the president is in no position to come out and start slinging mud back at them. There was atime when I would not have questioned people insulting George W. Bush, but looking at the other side of the coin makes me realize that name calling wihtout thinking is wrong.
