(Original German), Glenn Beck?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s who Bill O&#8217;Reilly turned to last night on the O&#8217;Reilly Factor, and he got his money&#8217;s worth. The segment included pleadings from Beck for O&#8217;Reilly to use the <em>&#8220;M&#8221;<\/em> word (Marxist) about Obama. O&#8217;Reilly giggled flirtatiously but succumbed only so far as to declare Obama the most liberal president in America&#8217;s history (which is news to liberals).<\/p>\n<p>After listening to the new ad, the pair expressed their shock upon seeing an overt appeal to a targeted demographic group, something they seem to think never happens in advertising.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vh1Uqciz-mA?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Beck:<\/strong> I&#8217;ve never heard anything like that, Bill.<br \/>\n<strong>O&#8217;Reilly:<\/strong> In a campaign ad, I haven&#8217;t either. I would love to see Mitt Romney&#8217;s backup singers though. They probably look like the Osmonds.<br \/>\n<strong>Beck:<\/strong> Here&#8217;s the problem with that ad. I mean it&#8217;s two-fold. In that ad they talk about, you know, we&#8217;ve got your back, Mr. President. Isn&#8217;t the President supposed to have our back? Isn&#8217;t he supposed to be that guy that insures that he&#8217;s watching our liberty and our life so nobody comes and kills our family or kills us, and nobody comes and scoops us up off the street in the middle of the night?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>First of all, I find it interesting that O&#8217;Reilly would surmise that Romney&#8217;s backup singers would look like the Osmonds, a quintessentially white family of Mormons. I wouldn&#8217;t argue with that, but it&#8217;s Beck&#8217;s commentary that really demonstrates a fundamental ignorance and hypocrisy.<\/p>\n<p>Beck seems to have missed entirely that the ad is a litany of all the ways in which Obama <em>&#8220;has our back,&#8221;<\/em> by enumerating the policies he is pursuing. The only thing that Beck hears is the Motown-like chorus. Even worse, Beck seems to be confusing the role of the president with the role of a bodyguard. His assertion that the President is supposed to protect us from some unidentified assailants is downright looney, however, it fits nicely into Beck&#8217;s patented formula of fear mongering. To Beck there is no dark corner of the room that isn&#8217;t filled with stalking demons.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/Pix\/Humor\/jesus-beck-1.jpg\" alt=\"Glenn Beck\" \/><\/center><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>Seeing as how Beck is also one of the biggest proponents of right-wing criticisms of the so-called <em>&#8220;nanny state,&#8221;<\/em> it is curious that he has now assigned the President the responsibility for policing our neighborhoods and protecting us from whoever it is that Beck imagines is threatening to <em>&#8220;scoop us up off the street in the middle of the night.&#8221;<\/em> That duty might distract the President from trivial matters like the economy, jobs, and foreign affairs. It might also piss off Spiderman who will surely regard it as an intrusion into his jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>Watching O&#8217;Reilly and Beck analyze an Obama ad aimed at African Americans is not unlike watching Rick Santorum and Pat Robertson reviewing the DVD release of <em>&#8220;Brokeback Mountain.&#8221;<\/em> There is very little of value that one could extract from their analysis. But what&#8217;s truly frightening is that Fox&#8217;s viewers will sop up their bile and regard it as credible. At least until they are scooped up off the street in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you were looking for an authoritative analysis of an Obama campaign advertisement targeting an African-American constituency, who better to consult than homeboy and O.G.
