I suppose it is OK for a news commentator to hide his own xenophobia behind the badge of the press. After all, saying that "Mexicans are trying to conquer American culture" is not xenophobic, it is just a man expressing some heartfelt by many Americans.

I posted some of Glen Becks comments. At times he sounds intelligent. I agree with him when he says that companies that hire illegal immigrants should be penalized. I agree that the problem is being ignored and that hte solution would be to make it easier for illegals to be legalized. Glenn Beck is very intelligent on those points.

Then he calls the president a racist knowing fully well that Barack Obama is not in a position to get into a mud fight. If Glenn Beck is not a racist, then he is a man who swings between intelligence and stupidity. He exposes himselv to being called a racist because going to a Hispanic and saying to their face "comprende?" is ignorant and insulting.

I Canada about 15% of the population was born in the US. I would ask, if a Canadian expressed himself about Americans in the way that Glen Beck expressed himself about Mexicans, how would Americans feel? In Canada that person would have been called an anti-American and he would most likely face legal repercussions.
