Glenn Beck Amends "Racist" Charge of President Obama, Questions His Belief in Liberation Theology

Glenn Beck amends "racist" charge of President Obama, says he questions his belief in liberation theology.

I knew Glenn Beck couldn't keep his half-ass retraction of his labeling of President Obama as a "racist" on Joe Madison's radio show out there as an apology. Just one day after his inspirational rally, where he fell short of his mission of reclaiming the civil rights moveement (laughable and hypocritical on his part), he said he  doesn't want to retract his controversial charge last year that President Obama is racist, but does want to amend it since reading more about "liberation theology." Whoa, suddenly Glenn Beck is a theology scholar.

"I have a big fat mouth sometimes and I say things, and that's not the way people should behave," Beck said, adding, "I didn't understand really his theology" when he made the comment a year ago that Obama has a "deep-seated hatred for white people."

"I think that it is much more of a theological question that he is a guy who understands the world through liberation theology, which is oppressor and victim," Beck, a Fox News host, told "Fox News Sunday."Beck described liberation theology, which teaches that salvation for the individual is dependent on salvation for the collective through economic and social justice, as the message that was preached by Obama's ex-pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Source
Last night as I watched Geraldo Rivera's show on Fox News, I heard Geraldo throwing out the possibility of a Glenn Beck-Sarah Palin 2012 ticket. Sarah Palin claimed Barack Obama had no experience as a politician. Gee, I wonder what would make Glenn Beck, a Mormon, a viable presidential candidate? He claims most Christians don't believe in liberation theology. The reality is that Glenn Beck & Co. don't care one iota about the poor in our country and the fact that under President George W. Bush's watch, some parts of our country are becoming Third World. Er, couldn't I question Glenn Beck's Mormonism, particularly on why he would want to be part of a religion that didn't accept blacks for decades and frowned in interracial marriages? There's something to be said of those in our midst who are so self-righteous like the Scribes and Pharisees in the Bible. They always take a mighty tumble.
