That doesn't seem to describe the most recent controversy, really. Here's one thing for which Glenn Beck has been in hot water: <quote src="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/28/fox-host-glenn-beck-obama_n_246310.html "> First Posted: 07-28-09 12:34 PM [ ... ] This morning on Fox and Friends, Fox host Glenn Beck accused President Obama of being "a racist." The group was discussing the recent Gates controversy, and Beck exclaimed that Obama has "over and over again" exposed himself as "a guy who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture. I don't know what it is..." </quote> And the other day, his claims about the Rockefeller Center in New York being some mix of communist / fasctist / progressive - see, for instance http://thejoshuablogs.blogspot.com/2009/09/keith-olbermann-dissects-glenn-becks.html I think that those are more the kinds of things that are involved in 'the fuss' regarding Glenn Beck.
