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

Funny. You’ll have to report back and tell us what if anything happens.
I agree by the way. Someone complaining about Obama doing a lousy job is fine. Personal demeaning insults are another.

I’m pretty sure that in my lifetime, I’ll get to hear the stories of how it was the Republican Party that was always on the side of gay rights.

I think what he’s referring to is the perceived dismissal of the Tea Party Movement under the broad brush of racists. I suppose he/they believe that civil rights have been turned on their upside down because of the constant accusations that the government is tearing down the Constitution.

I suggest that his instruction to not bring signs is to try and drive home the idea that these are all concerned patriots trying to reclaim their country from a corrupt government headed toward socialism. Probably to help maintain some credibility by preventing some of the racist insulting signs from previous gatherings from becoming the focus of news channels and blogs.

Although I don’t like Beck I have mixed feelings about the Tea Party. I’ve been posting on another site where the liberals and conservatives tend to be more insulting than here. It made me see how unhelpful and non productive that kind of exchange is. Even here we have multiple posters who readily lump liberals conservatives into a one size fits all mold. It doesn’t help.

How did Glenn Beck lose his honor, other than the obvious being a lying demagogue? And I know that the light is good on the National Mall, but if he didn’t lose his honor there, why should he expect to find it there?

Well, he tried looking on the nation’s golf courses, but kept running into O.J. Simpson.

Even outside the US, more and more people are getting sick of this grossly overpaid Aryan crybaby bitch. FUCK HIM.

Looks like maybe the whole taking back civil rights movement thingy didn’t play as well as was hoped, lately he’s just talking about honoring our heroes and restoring American honor. Of course, by now it may be about welcoming our new insect overlords. Which sounds crazy until I remember who we are talking about here.

And no “politics”. Because politics is bad, and there won’t be any of that! Nosir! “Come to the super giant Texas style Bar-B-Q, and we’ll serve you some tofu burgers!”

Fascinating. Its like gawking at a massive car wreck before it happens, we know where its going to be, but we don’t know which cars are going to be involved.

No, he’s not. He’s annoying as hell when he starts bible-thumping, but when he gets into political and social issues, he’s right on target. And one of the issues he has been pointing out lately is that racism is still running rampant in the USA. I believe that is where he is coming from. He’s making the point that anyone who makes an issue of skin color in any way is a loser, and I agree with that totally.

Please. Do you honestly believe Glenn Beck gives a shit about the Founding Fathers or the Constitution? If this guy thought he could make a buck sucking off the corpse of Lenin, he’d be flying to Moscow at warp speed.

I must say, I never cease to be amazed by your ability to distinguish between the forms of stupid you like and those you dislike, and block out the latter.

You mean like the guy who said, “[Obama is] a guy who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture … I’m not saying he doesn’t like white people. I’m saying he has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist.”

Translated: When he says something that fits my incredibly narrow world view he’s great. Otherwise I wish he’d shut up.

The man is a fucking troll. Just because you agree with some of his trolling doesn’t change that fact.

Yes, they should tone down their signs, maybe they could clarify their thoughts,

“I’m not saying Obama’s a Sekrit Muslim Imam out to destroy America, I’m just asking a question”

“It’s not that I think Obama’s not American-born, I just want to see the Birth Certificate.”

“Any monkey references we have made toward Obama have nothing to do with race, its just funny, right?”

Are you the Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight?

Here’s a better question: Is Glen Beck?

"I says ‘Tell me I’m wrong.’ He says, “I can’t, baby, 'cause you’re not!”

I’d be happy if they simply remembered to stand on the right side of the escalator.

Sharpton has spent the last few years trying to rehabilitate himself. Its also a bit tough to engage in the sort of rhetoric he likes to engage in when the President is black.

Doesn’t matter, whichever side they stand on will be the right side.

Dear God - you’re serious?!

Is he serious about Glenn Beck being a loser? Prolly.
