<p>On the April 2 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio
show, <a href="http://mediamatters.org/issues_topics/people/glennbeck?src=clip200704020010">Glenn
Beck</a> claimed that "[c]onservatives get no respect" and asserted
that he "can&#39;t win" because he is "American[],"
"white," "Christian," and "conservative."
He said: "[I]f you are a white human that loves America and happens to be a
Christian, forget about it, Jack. You are the only one that doesn&#39;t have
a political action committee for you." He also said: "I mean, I was
talking about it with my family yesterday. I said, &#39;I&#39;m tired of
being the least popular person in the world,&#39; " adding,
"We&#39;re Americans. Nobody likes Americans. We&#39;re Americans, so
the world hates us. But then inside of America,
we love America
-- and that&#39;s becoming more and more unpopular." Beck also said
that being "Christian[]" is "not popular anymore" and
went on to say, "I&#39;ve got to find one thing that I agree with the
rest of the world on, I guess. I&#39;m tired of being in that group." </p>

<p>In addition to his daily radio show, Beck hosts an evening
program on CNN Headline News and has been hired as a <a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200701090010?src=clip200704020010">commentator</a>
for ABC&#39;s <i>Good Morning America</i>.</p>

<p>From the April 2 edition of Premiere Radio Networks&#39; <i>The Glenn Beck Program</i>:</p><blockquote>

<p>BECK: I mean, I was talking about it
with my family yesterday. I said, "<b>I&#39;m
tired of being the least popular person in the world.</b>" I said
look at our family. <b>We&#39;re Americans.
Nobody likes Americans. We&#39;re Americans, so the world hates us.
But then inside of America,
we love America
-- and that&#39;s becoming more and more unpopular.</b> So,
we&#39;re not popular with Americans.</p>

<p><b>Then we&#39;re
Christians. That&#39;s not popular anymore.</b> But not only are we
Christians, we&#39;re Mormons. So, we&#39;re not even liked by the
Christians. <b>I just -- I&#39;m white</b>.
I&#39;m human. There are a lot of environmentalists that don&#39;t like
humans, <b>but within the humans that accept
humans, I&#39;m white.</b></p>

<p><b>The majority of
humans don&#39;t like whites. I mean, I just can&#39;t win. You can&#39;t
win. And why is it? Because if you are a white human that loves America
and happens to be a Christian, forget about it, Jack.</b> You are the
only one that doesn&#39;t have a political action committee for you.</p>

<p>

God forbid, I forgot that I&#39;m
also a conservative. <b>I&#39;m a
conservative, which is not popular in America, but I&#39;m a
conservative that doesn&#39;t like the Republicans. I can&#39;t win!
I&#39;ve got to find one thing that I agree with, you know, the rest of the
world on, I guess. I&#39;m tired of being in that group. Conservatives get no
respect.</b></p></blockquote><table width="100%" style="background: #e8e8e8;
