Fox's Glenn Beck: Obama is a racist

NEW YORK Beck made the statement during a guest appearance on the "Fox & Friends" morning show. He said Obama has exposed himself as a person with "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."

His remarks came during a discussion of Obama's reaction to the arrest of Harvard University scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr.

Gates is black and was arrested for disorderly conduct by a white police officer over a misunderstanding about a break-in at Gates' home.

There was no immediate response from the White House.
