Ta-Nahesi, on Glenn Beck:
The point was made yesterday that there are white people on TV, every day, who make a living speaking in a manner that's twice as insane as anything you hear on the corner. Indeed. If you're a nut and you happen to be black, you're Cynthia McKinney. If you're a nut and happen to be white, well... I know white people aren't embarrassed by Glenn Beck. But seriously, you guys really should be. Come on white folks, where's that sense of solidarity you've showed for centuries? You guys are a sorry bunch
He's talking about this:
I used to listen to Beck's radio show, and I thought it was a little off-kilter, but sort of funny. He wasn't always this insane, was he? And remember how apoplectic the right used to get when some fringe figure compared Bush to Hitler?
