thinkprogress.org — Country singer Toby Keith, who is on a media blitz promoting his pro-lynching movie, Beer For My Horses, said during a radio interview with Glenn Beck today that he believes “black society” will pull for Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), even though “they think in the back of their mind that…he talks, acts and carries himself as a Caucasian”

Toby Keith and Glenn Beck are in the same room and you only have 1 bullet....All in jest, all in jest...(?)

Nice to know Toby Keith has his finger on the pulse of black society. There aren't enough country music singers getting the message out.

I love the fact that Country is now where failed Pop singers go. See Jessica Simpson and Jewel.

Keith was actually saying that racial issues haven't come very far in a number of years, and we have a long way to go for equality, and that's a bad thing (which many, many people -- black and white -- agree with). Ultra Conservative Glen Beck disagreed with this point, and brought up Obama. It wasn't even about Obama until Beck brought him up.And when Obama is mentioned, Keith says that Obama is only in it because he sounds/acts like a white guy. He says that's how blacks feel about it. Whether that's true or not, I don't know, but that was NOT his main point... but all of that is axed from the article title, heading, and even the quotes (you need to listen to the audio to hear it all).I swear, Maki Maki means to cast anyone as saying anything marginally anti-Obama as evil here on Digg. Kind of sad, since this is not a good representation of what Keith was saying. -Pie

Yes, because Toby Keith is the authority on racial opinions. Somebody should stick a Nike in HIS ass.
