Glenn Beck Smears Obama's 11-year-old Daughter

I cannot think of another administration in my lifetime in which the president's family have become legitimate targets of attack. I understand Margaret Truman and Eleanor Roosevelt got some ribbing but that was before my time. It's also interesting to note that both were members of a Democratic president's family.

Sasha and Malia Obama attend the Sidwell Friends school in Washington, D.C. It is a Quaker-run school that is considered one of the best in the country academically.

Not to play the race card or anything, but I can see nothing in Malia's interest in the Gulf Oil spill that indicates a lack of intelligence or poor education on her part. It is only natural for a child of that age to imagine that her father, the president, is personally in charge of such a disaster. I just wonder if a white president's children would be attacked on the grounds of intelligence or education.

I heard it myself today.

Was pretty disgusting...I don't think it was actually "Beck" doing the impersonation...but one of his co-hosts. He laughed along however.

It happened again later in the show as well. Basically insulting the kid's intelligence.

Right wing nut jobs are actually less mature than 11 year olds. This is just actual proof of it now. Just look at the garbage the right wing nut jobs post here.

I'm not even surprised. Beck's nothing but a hypocrite slimeball who will say whatever as long as it fits his vile agenda.

Ah that's just bad form. I do agree that families should be left out of such things, at least the children, that's just basic decency to me. Hopefully Glenn Beck or the co-host whom made the comments will make an apology for their words and make a pledge not to go after political official's kids again.

What Beck will do is state that since Obama brought up his kid in his Press Conference...then it is fair game.

I guarantee it.

Remember,

THIS IS COMING FROM A MAN WHO STRONGLY CRITICIZED ATTACKS ON PALIN'S FAMILY BEING TRASHED....which I also thought was disgusting (although I think Palin is a complete and utter idiot).

Who cares if Sarah Palins and George Bushs' family is fair game then so is Obama. Folks need to grow a spine.

In the fine tradition established by the Left regarding Sarah Palin's family, I demand proof that those kids were, in fact, fathered by Hussein.

Have you plugged that hole yet, Barry?

Glenn Beck, who repeatedly and angrily tells his alleged persecutors to "leave the families alone," spent a good chunk of his radio program this morning mocking and attacking the intelligence of President Obama's 11-year-old daughter, Malia.

This is going to to be funny. I get to see this and I am just starting to listen to the radio show. In almost every case the story of these things happening has been way way off. Attacking the children of politicians was made cool by the left in the last election cycle though. extra DIV
