Colbert: Glenn Beck ‘has a deep-seated hatred for logic’

President Barack Obama is set to meet with Professor Henry Louis Gates and Sergeant James Crowley early Thursday evening to discuss how the black scholar’s arrest can be a “teaching moment.” Wednesday night, Stephen Colbert used his “The Word” segment to explain how racism is like farts and neither should be discussed.

“Nation, as you know, I don’t see race,” Colbert said. “People tell me I’m white and I believe them because my fridge is full of drinkable yogurt.”

Colbert blasted President Obama, because “six months after racism officially ended, he fanned the flames of prejudice by taking sides in the Gates arrest controversy.”

Obama’s use of the word “stupidly” divided “Americans into two groups: those outraged over Gates’ arrest and those outraged at the other group’s outrage.”

As for the mama crack that the police report described but that Gates denied making. Colbert said he believed Gates really said, “Yo mama so fat when she wears red the police say ‘hey Kool Aid Man’…and then falsely arrest her.”

Colbert then noted that his “crazy eyes” nemesis Glenn Beck called Obama a racist (Video at this link) a few days ago.

Beck told the hosts of Fox & Friends that “this president has exposed himself, I think, as a guy — over and over and over again — who 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, I’m saying he has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist.”

“Right,” Colbert agreed, “that’s not saying [Obama] dislikes white people. He’s saying that he has a deep-seated hatred for them.”

Colbert continued, “Like how Beck likes arguing but has a deep-seated hatred for logic.”

Later, Colbert played clips of former Bush brain Karl Rove saying how “Americans don’t like to talk about race” and Fox’s Bill O’Reilly saying, “I’m just not gonna talk about race with black people unless I know them very, very well.”

Regarding O’Reilly’s comment, Colbert quipped, “In other words, he’s not gonna talk about race.”
