Glenn Beck: Hillary and the White vote
May 9, 2008 - 12:10 ET
GLENN: Don't you think that's good? Now, I'm about to play. So -- and I just want to distance myself from this. This is actual audio. We didn't change this at all. This is the actual candidate. We haven't augmented it. I want you to know up front it is shocking and I again wanted to say I am only playing this for news reasons. I am not playing this for its shock value and I certainly don't want to associate myself with its racism.
VOICE: How does Hillary Clinton win the nomination?
HILLARY CLINTON: Well, Kathy, you know, there was just an AP article posted that found how Senator Obama's support among working, hard working Americans, white Americans is weakening again and how the, you know, whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me and in independents I was running even with them and doing even better with Democratic leading independents. I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on.
GLENN: Hang on. Let me sit down for a second. Whew. I mean, why not just put on the white pointy hood, Hillary. Holy cow. The racism there. I apologize to any African-American or Hispanic or Asian American or -- I mean, Aleutian that might be listening to us, American native that might be listening, Indians, not to be confused with American natives, any European who might be listening, I apologize. I hate to air that kind of dirty laundry and that hatred there for everybody that isn't white but had to do it.
Let me just give some of the -- let me give some of the words that I found in the newspaper today. First it was Bill Clinton dismissing Barack Obama as just another black candidate winning South Carolina. Now comes Hillary Clinton, the audio you just heard, and again I apologize for it, splashing moonshine onto the smoldering embers by telling West Virginia voters that hard working Americans, white Americans support her and not Barack Obama. Is this really how Democrats and Democratic party bosses talk in smoky back rooms? I'm afraid to say it, America. Yeah, I think it is. I think it is. I mean, I think they've gone to saying, look, you know, I'm getting 60% of the white vote. And I think they are saying those things in the back rooms.
Meanwhile they're -- boy. They are saying things, you know, like in 1997 Bill Clinton, like conference on race, nailed a Harvard scholar, a high-minded critic of racial quotas saying, "Do you favor the United States army abolishing affirmative action program that produced Colin Powell? Yes or no? Yes or no?" He said that in public. Unfortunately affirmative action didn't produce Colin Powell. There weren't any affirmative action programs in place when he joined the army or even when he became general but I mean, let's not worry about that. It's what they were saying in those smoke-filled rooms. Is this really the way Hillary Clinton talks, saying that she has got 60% of the white vote? The hatred. The hatred. Oh, saying those things in a telephone conversation that we just happened to get audio from. I'm shocked. I'm horrified by it.
Meanwhile in the back rooms they are saying stuff like that, but in 1999, in 1999 when the Senate rejected a nominee for a federal judgeship in Missouri, Clinton said, "The Republican-controlled Senate is adding credence to the perceptions that they treat women and minority judicial nominees unfairly, that white angry men were standing in the way of progress." That's crazy. That's truth there. That's truth, that the white angry men in the Republican party want to -- they are the party that nominated Clarence Thomas. We're standing in the way because we just hate blacks, the party of Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. First weekend of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Clinton, of course, invited Jesse Jackson, black man to come in and talk to him. In fact, he couldn't find enough black pastors and black lawyers. Of course, he was the first black President. And Charlie Rangel, a black congressman, compared him to Martin Luther King that weekend of Monica Lewinsky. In fact, Maxine waters said, if I may quote, I'm here to thwart the racism on this honorary black man, end quote. Of course, when Black Entertainment Television talked to him, Black Entertainment Television talked to him, you know, because the Republicans, the evil racist Republicans wanted him impeached, they said a lot of people think they want you impeached because you have an affinity for blacks. Clinton said, "It may be. It may be. That's some sort of -- that is a source of anger and animosity towards me." The white man hated Bill Clinton because he had an affinity for the black man, how true it is, America, how true it is. Of course, Eleanor Clift, she wrote, you know, during the Republican impeachment of Bill Clinton, she wrote, "I mean, frankly all they're missing are the white sheets. They're like the night riders going over." That's true. That's true. All these things are true. That's -- you bet. But were you shocked when you heard Hillary Clinton say she gets 60% of the white vote. My gosh, the hatred, the hatred in those facts, you know? Play it again just so America can really hear what -- I mean, listen to the venom in her voice as well.

HILLARY CLINTON: Well, Kathy, you know, there was just an AP article posted that found how Senator Obama's support among working, hard working Americans, white Americans is weakening again and how the, you know, whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me. And independents, I was running even with him and doing even better with Democratic leading independents. I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on.
GLENN: Oh, boy. I'm going to -- let me just -- ooh. She's got the -- I mean, the hatred, too, on the college-educated. Oh, boy. Let me -- I'm just going to -- I hate to shock you yet some more, but I'm going to give you some more of those racist facts. Apparently the Democrats in whole are doing much better with Wall Street firms. Employees in Wall Street institutions such as Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley all favored the Democrats by a large margin. Wow. Lawyers, teachers, accountants, journalists, writers, the practitioners of the hard sciences winning solidly among physicians, biologists, chemists, physicists, plain old scientists. The Republican only -- honestly they only have the rocket scientists. Every other scientist is going Democrat this time. Professors, of course. By a 9:1 margin. The students -- students, if you're in college, holy cow. I don't know. You know all those college students that are struggling and they, oh, struggle at these colleges. My heart bleeds for them, I do. They are struggling to get into college and yet somehow or another they have found a way to send in $4.1 million to their professor's favorite candidates and only $1.4 million to the GOP. Boy, they're struggling. Of course, the objective media and the journalists and the publishers and the editors, you know, they got them, too. Who flavors Republicans? The Republicans, you know, the party of the elite, the hate mongers, the people that hate the poor, want to starve your children to death. Yeah, those people, 3:1 edge among janitors, custodians, cleaners, sanitation workers, factory workers, truckers, bus drivers, barbers, security guards, secretaries. Yeah, yeah. Hard hats, plumbers, stone masons, electricians, carpenters, mechanics, roofers. Yeah. Bricklayers, autoworkers. Yeah. They lost the bartenders but maybe because they're closer to the booze. But they do have the waitresses in the bars. I'm sorry to just get all this hatred out, expose the nasty underbelly, but may I be serious with you for a second? I don't even understand this. How is Hillary Clinton saying there's a divide in the party? How is it that Barack Obama as a fact has got 90% of the African-American vote? He's got 90% of the African-American vote. Whew. Okay. It's a fact. No big deal. There is a growing number of white, lower class, uneducated voters that are going for Hillary Clinton, a growing number. That's racist. But Barack Obama, having the elite and the black vote by 90%, that's not -- that's just a fact. You know what it is? I don't understand it because, well, I'm one of them dummies, you know? I'm a self-educated guy. I only went to college for one semester. So what do I know. Next thing you know, I'm going to be fighting in the army because I'm a dummy and I can't hold down a regular job. I'm just too stupid (laughing stupidly). I'm glad Barack's going to be around to help protect me.
