One further point on that issue, though, for the one who thinks Couric was just out to destroy Beck by asking that question. I think Beck set himself up for that question by calling Obama a racist. If he's going to be making those kinds of accusations, he needs to make sure he's not also guilty of the same thing he's accusing others of, and with a comment like "I think he has a deep seated hatred of White culture. I think he's a racist", there is an excellent chance that such a comment itself arises from a racist mindset. So asking that question seems perfectly reasonable on those grounds. If he wasn't so busy pointing fingers at and trying to destroy others, maybe the finger wouldn't be pointing back at him quite so much.
