You may have heard that Rupert Murdoch — dark overlord of the News Corp empire — has recently unveiled, in an interview, his plan for world domination through making his sites invisible to Google's search engines and trying to abolish fair use.

Well, in that selfsame interview, he also backed up Glenn Beck — News Corp's newest bride — on his startling revelation, a few months back, that Barack Obama is a racist for reasons that are both too obvious to mention and too obscure to explain…

"On the racist thing, that caused a [unintelligible]," Murdoch said in an interview with his Sky News Australia over the weekend. "But [Obama] did make a very racist comment about blacks and whites and so on, which he said in his campaign he would be completely above. And that was something which perhaps shouldn't have been said about the President, but if you actually assess what he was talking about, [Beck] was right."

Oh, yes. That very racist comment about blacks and whites and so on. Who could possibly forget that very racist comment about blacks and whites and so on. Not with all the blacks and whites and so on rioting in the streets in the very racist comment's aftermath.

I guess sometimes we dismiss statements from Glenn Beck as merely nonsensical, offensive, bullshit from a clownish, mentally-feeble, obnoxious, morally bankrupt, unwatchable imbicile.

But things aren't always so black and white and so on.
