Glenn Beck regrets calling Obama a racist. Maybe.

By Michael J.W. Stickings

So Glenn Beck, it seems, regrets calling President Obama a racist last year, regrets saying -- on Fox News, of course -- that the president has a "deep-seated hatred for white people."

"I have a big fat mouth sometimes and I say things," Beck told Chris Wallace on Fox News yesterday.

Yes, that's true, he says "things," and I suppose he deserves a bit of credit for admitting that he said something vicious and stupid. I doubt Rush would ever do that.

But he is genuinely sorry, or just sorry his "big fat mouth" got him in trouble with his advertisers (and with some fellow conservatives), and is he now just saying he's sorry because of that whole "Restoring Honor" nonsense he's pushing? (Besides, he went on to say that Obama's worldview is based on liberation theology, which is a gross misrepresentation of Obama's worldview.)

Not that it matters, because the mouth will keep flapping dishonorably and he'll keep saying vicious and stupid things, about the president and about anything and everything else he doesn't like.

He's Glenn Beck, after all. That's what he does.
