Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally will not be political (& other Tea Party nonsense)

'Burying the lead" is a newspaper term for leaving out the most interetsing or important part of a story (or “burying” it at the bottom of the page rather than leading with it).

No big deal you didn’t catch it. I was only being arch.

Lede.

There’s some serious disagreement about that. It’s hard to tell at those events.

Yes, I did, and yes, that’s the impression I got, too.

So, tell me Glen, should we discuss what an incredible person you are, or should we discuss how much the people love you?

On white bread with Mayo. That’s the problem right there.
I don’t see how anyone listening to Obama’s speech on racism and his innocuous words on the Gates incident could come up with “deep seated hatred for white people”

and then he showed his magic underwear?

did he say if Palin wasn’t married he’d marry her and all her sisters too?

He didn’t call Obama demonic, he said he is influenced by a theology that the Pope called demonic. I wonder what the Pope thinks of Mormonism.
But here’s a thought, Up thread people mentioned liberation theology as “radical Catholics” and then Beck quotes the Pope. I think Beck, perhaps accidentally but maybe deliberately, is confusing the Catholic brand of Liberation theology with BLT that was preached by Wright.

If so, that’s some good material to point out.

Yep, I’m thinking that’s what he did, although there are similarities but the Catholic version gives him more ammo

oooooo i feel a national theology discussion coming on. Oh goodie.

That figure was an undercount based on estimates of satellite images. From the air, you can’t tell that each attendee had four other morons stacked on his shoulders.

Either spelling is acceptable.

Maybe it was the number of brains the morans had between them :slight_smile:

Did he? The article I read included this:

(the quote continues with Beck raising the issue of liberation theology)

So, regretted, but not retracted.

Sort of. He specifically said that he didn’t “retract” the statement before taking off on the theological tangent. In other words: weasel, weasel, weasel.

ETA: Oops, left this window open while cooking dinner. Robot Arm beat me to it almost half an hour ago.

One wonders what it means to “regret” something without “retracting” it.

Or at least I do.

I suppose he regrets saying it because it caused him a lot of trouble. Doesn’t mean he didn’t mean it.

I wanna know …

Why is Beck so important, what has he ever said that was right or mattered? What has he ever said, that he had enough conviction and balls to say “Yeah I said it”, when called on it, instead of waffling, equivocating, and “regretting”?

Why does that stupid useless spineless shitforbrains matter to anyone?

Under the circumstances, I think it means “peace with honor”.

Because he articulates the fear, anger and hatred felt by the ignorant, powerless 20% of Americans.

I’m sure he’s said something along the lines of, “Hitler was bad”, which is right, and it matters because there seems to be a lot of people who don’t believe anything that doesn’t come out of his mouth.

Apparently he matters enough that you fuckers who think he doesn’t matter will have a circle jerk in an internet forum for 2 days and 5 pages about what an idiot he is.

I believe it is called a discussion about a guy who had a rally at MLKs “I have a dream speech” location. It is relevant at this time. But wont be for long.
