Sarah Palin defends Glenn Beck: 'Doing extraordinary job'

[240 is Back]

Sarah Palin has gone from being governor of Alaska to a public relations booster for Fox News’ Glenn Beck, coming out with a Facebook comment praising the controversial TV show host for his “extraordinary” work and urging people to watch Beck’s talk show.

“Fox News’ Glenn Beck is doing an extraordinary job this week walking America behind the scenes of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and outlining who is actually running the White House,” Palin wrote on her Facebook page.

“Monday night he asked us to invite one friend to watch; tonight I invite all my friends to watch,” she added.

As of last count, 13,700 people had given Palin’s comment a “thumbs up.”

Fox’s Glenn Beck has lost at least 36 advertisers since late July, when Beck said during his show that President Obama has “a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture.”

Moments later, Beck added: “I’m not saying he [Obama] doesn’t like white people. He has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist.”

According to McClatchy Newspapers, Palin’s praise was for Beck’s attack this week on Van Jones, a White House environmental adviser that opponents of President Obama are criticizing for his links to radical political movements in his youth.

Among the advertisers who have distanced themselves from Beck since those comments are AT&T, Campbell Soup, Johnson & Johnson, NutriSystem, Sprint, UPS, and Verizon Wireless.

I dont know if this was a wise move.

This means palin opens herself up to questions of "Oh, so was Beck correct when he called Obama a racist?"

Beck has been doing a great job.  He has been utterly destroying ZERO day after day with cold hard facts. 

His piece on Van jones was devastating and Obama has yet to respond as to whether or not he knew Jones was an avowed communist when he hired him. 

Beck has also exposed the corruption of the cap & Trade scam and the connections with GE and GS.

Her answer should be "I dont know,Obamas idol was Rev. Wright,you make the call".

Palin was the only one with balls to call it like it was about Obama's friends. 

McShame wimped out.

I guess prove that sick minds think alike.

Beck is clearly struggling with mental illness and Palin thinks he's doing an extraordinary job

Palin is very comfortable telling complete lies while smilinng and winking

Maybe she's gunning to take over when Beck finally cracks and/or get's thrown off the air

Yep.  Palin is sucking up to the fringe element.

Where have all the common sense republicans gone?  Everyone's an extremist these days.

In Palins' eyes anyone who hasn't quit yet is doing an extraordinary job.
