In reply to the discussion: Glenn Beck, dressed in a Boy Scout uniform, compares Paula Deen to MLK, Columbus and Magellan [View all]sibelian
(7,804 posts)11. Amerigo... can I ask you a favour which you are at liberty to completely ignore?
I don't want to come across as a party pooper but I don't think posting things that Glenn Beck says is something that DU needs. It's your choice, of course, and I AM being a board nanny, I'm not going to deny that, but all that happens on threads like this is that a whole bunch of people get really pissed off with a fat silly white man that has nothing substantive to say. All it does is depress and anger everyone.
Deen's being dealt with and rightfully so. WE WON.
I'd vastly prefer to hear LEFT WING opinions of DEEN than right wing opinions of left wing opinions of Deen. Why should Beck's nonsense get any air time here?
It isn't my place to tell you what to post, if you prefer to link to the voice of Beck + co, it's as much your board as anyone's. I just thought I put it out there to see what you think.
Hope you understand where I'm coming from.

doesn't look like a scout uniform to me, looks like some kind of military get-up.
