We previously highlighted how Glenn Beck's October 16 Fox News program on health care reform included in its audience of doctors Richard Amerling, a director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, a conservative-leaning group that holds several controversial views, including promoting the right-wing conspiracy theory that Vince Foster didn't commit suicide.

Now, Talking Points Memo has identified another AAPS-affiliated doctor in Beck's audience: David McKalip, the doctor who notoriously emailed a racist image depicting President Obama as a witch doctor to his fellow "tea party" activists.

AAPS' "Take Back Medicine" website features an "open letter to America's physicians" by McKalip asserting that health care reform will "turn doctors into servants of the state, insurance companies, hospitals, and everyone except who matters most: the patient."

1. Glenn Beck affiliating with racists?? Who coulda thunk it?

Gee, what a shocker. Next thing you will tell me is that Michelle Malkin thinks interning Japanese-Americans is a splendid idea, or Oily Titz claims not just Obama, but Bobby Jindal, are ineligible for office because of their skin color - er, make that "heritage."

2. That image always cracks me up.

The man who's body the president's face is pasted onto is a Huli wigman. There are two people in the world you do not want to fuck with. The first one is an Afghan - The national pastime of Afghanistan is kicking ass, and it's also their major export. The second, is a papuan wigman. Why second? Because they're nice enough to share a beer with you before stomping your face into the fucking ground and drawing a picture to show his friends. Afghans don't drink beer, so they come in first.

So every time I see that picture, I figure the right is subconsciously realizing the asskicking they've been dealt by a man who once held a "beer summit"

3. Please don 't blame Glenn Beck...

Glenn Beck never did anything racist.

Glenn Beck never showed images depicting President Obama as a witch doctor on TV during his show, nor to his fellow "tea party activists," nor display them online.

Glenn Beck never whined about other people being racist, or playing the race card, nor did he even play the racism card itself by virtue of talking about it.

Please leave poor Glenn Beck alone, or else he might cry again.



Oh, and Glenn Beck never sobbed on cue or anything like that. It's only a rumor that he is a good actor.

4. Mengele was a doctor too

5. Conservatives are always complaining, "If a conservative had said that he'd be fired."

Well, why haven't Beck and Limbaugh been fired? Mind you, I'm not saying that they should. I think onair folks ought to be able to say absolutely anything they want to say, including our onair folks. I affirm the ACLU position that the answer to offensive speech is more speech, not restriction.
