==Racism==
====Color of Change and Glenn Beck====
On his Fox News program, Glenn Beck declared to a guest that Obama is a "racist" with "a deep-seated hatred for white people," based on the present political situation and Obama's past. Declaring the comment to be racist in and of itself, the organization "Color of Change," a liberal activist group headed by current "green czar" [[Van Jones]] - a declared communist - wrote a large number of letters to the sponsors of Beck's program, demanding they distance themselves from the show and cease sponsoring. A number of these companies (Wal-Mart, GEICO, etc) did just that. What they want to do is to make Beck a liability; James Rucker, Color of Change's executive director, stated in an interview "They have a toxic asset. They can either clean it up or get rid of it."

Racism doesn't stop Color of Change from selling T-shirts emblazoned with the words "Kanye was Right" [http://www.zazzle.com/kanye_was_right_tshirt-235287472366274585], referring to the hostile remarks made by rapper Kanye West during a fundraising for victims of [[Hurricane Katrina]] in September, 2005, in which he declared that the federal response to the disaster was deliberately slow because the victims were black. "We already realize a lot of people that could help are at war right now, fighting another way -- and they've given them permission to go down and shoot us!" He added a moment later "George Bush doesn’t care about black people."
