Political commentator Glenn Beck apologized on Friday for jokingly referring to Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher as a neo-Nazi. A website published a list of the "blackest white folks we know," and it included Beck and Urlacher. Beck had photos of the group on a board during his show Thursday on Fox News, and he started to identify the ones he knew. When he came to a picture of Urlacher, who had a very close-cropped hair cut, he said: "I think this guy's a neo-Nazi." "During a segment about myself being named one of the 'blackest white folks we know' by the website theroot.com, I made a few comments about some others on the list," Beck wrote. "Now, I know absolutely nothing about sports, so I didn't realize that one of them was NFL star Brian Urlacher. "Since then, I have been informed by my staff that Brian -- uh, Mr. Urlacher -- could kill me with his thumb in nine seconds if he wanted to. Although if we are talking about people in Chicago wanting to beat me up, he's going to have to stand in a very long line. "Anyway, I apologize to anyone who was offended. I just made a neo-Nazi joke based on the short hair and white skin; I don't actually think he has fascist plans to take over the Earth."
