Shocking audio as Glenn Beck mocks 11 year old Malia. This man is heartless.

Say what you want as long as you apologize after the fact.

Apologizing makes it all better, and actually adds a little validity to the insulter as he/she owns up, apologizes publicly and prove that he's not that bad of a guy after all.

Actually, this incident changes my opinion of Beck.

I read the text from the link but would not listen to it because although it was probably funny, it was still at the expense of a little girl.

Beck is not that big of a man.

Anyone that believes his daughter asked him that question would probably be in the market for some ocean front property in Arizona! Another lie from bho !

LOL I actually had to look it up to find out who Malia is... (but no, it's not because the president is black since that seems to be the theme every time his name is mentioned... I couldn't tell you the name of the Bush girls either.)

I think his intent was actually to mock BHO, because the President said she asked him, "Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?"

Obviously GB didn't believe that she actually asked the question.

Either way--I'm not really a Glenn Beck fan.

Of course it was....but that provides no political gravitas, as BHO is easy to mock.

The statement about the "level of their intelligence..." doesn't seem to be aimed at Malia but rather at Obama's followers. The whole discourse seems intended to mock those who put out the "Daddy, did you block the hole yet?" statement. Publishing that in the first place opens up the admin for ridicule on the remark.

Of course Beck runs the risk of of garnering his own criticism for mockingly imitating the President's 11 year old daughter; but I don't think the daughter was the target of the ridicule. Instead, Beck seems to be saying that the Dems are acting like 11 year old girls.

Beck would have better just to steer clear of the whole thing.

Whatever point he was trying to make could have been made without maligning an 11 year old girl, or even a Father-Daughter moment that was shared with the world to show the humanity, and thus compassion of the President in this time of crisis.

I mean, who would really make fun of someone sharing their Father-Daughter or Mother-Son moment?

In any other venue, it would automatically be written off as tasteless.

Since the President is a Democrat, it's ok.

Just how tasteless it is will probably remain subjective. To say that Beck gets some sort of free pass because the President is a Dem either reveals your political memory to only be about a year and a half old - or you're attempting to be ironic.

But that's diffrent....it's open season on Sarah Palin and other GOP people but don't touch the sacred Obamas .
