I do not watch Beck’s TV show (I find it unwatchable because it is boring). I occasionally listen to him on the radio when I am flipping channels and like that more relaxed style far better. He can be really funny and is good in that medium.

Some may be put off by the over religiousness of the even. It does not bother me that much, but I agree 12 steppers like Glenn can sometimes be bummers at parties. And I do not consider Glenn Beck to be a great intellectual on conservatism (as Mark Levin likes to point out on a regular basis). Although Beck really doesn’t pretend to be one. He admits he is self taught and still learning.

So a guy thanking the troops, promoting honor, and encouraging the masses to read Madison, Adams, Franklin and Hayek cannot be all bad.

I hope it goes well for everyone there.

Sorry to have missed it. Many of us are there in spirit.

Today thousands of angry white people have descended on the National Mall on the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, to whine about how they’re being persecuted and unfairly maligned, sponsored by a race-baiting lunatic Fox News host who promotes the ideology of the far right and the John Birch Society and has called President Obama “a racist with a deep-seated hatred of white culture.”

They’re broadcasting this bizarre inversion of reality on C-SPAN, where you can see that they’ve done their best to recruit as many black speakers and absolutely horrible black singers as they could, because that’s how they prove they’re not racist … at all!

Glenn Beck managed to fill the stage with black people, but when the cameras pan around the crowd, it’s an unbroken sea of white faces. And the crowd is nowhere near the 300,000 figure Beck was trumpeting in advance.

If Martin Luther King were alive today, these same people would be vilifying him as a communist and an evil progressive. The irony meter is off the scale on this parade of white victimhood.

Here’s a photo of one of Beck’s admirers; they banned signs from this rally, so he simply put his racist slogan on a t-shirt instead [America, Love It or Go Back To Kenya].

Wow. What a hate-filled human being you are, Little Charles.

I watched much of the rally on the live stream on the 828 Facebook page. There were a whole lotta black people on that stage. Black pastors, speakers, singers.

So why would a bunch of racist whiteys been singing & clapping & smiling at the rally, if they were so racist? “Absolutely horrible black singers”? Uh oh. Charles is a raaaaaacist.

Liberalism really is a mental disease – it requires a definite suspension of reality, and a deliberate ignorance of facts.

Hey Smitty! I’m jealous. Wish I could have been there. I was hoping you would be onstage when I saw the bagpipes being called up.

charles,

I wonder if you understand how angry, and unhinged you sound. Your post can be boiled down to the words “I, charles johnson hate white people”

I have no idea where your hate comes from but your racist rant should be sending up warning flags to your friends. I will pray for you that you can turn your hate towards positive goals.

Charles Johnson came over here just to do a rant? Good grief! Enough said.

There really is nothing more self-righteous than a convert. To try prove his fingernail-thick bona fides the querulous little twerp has to fill every single post with lies and distortions about the perceived “enemy”.
He’ll make a great little progressive, wanker that he is.

Who is this Charles Johnson person and when does Media Matters cut him a stipend?

Have you linked up here.

Charles,
those “angry” people helped give over $5 million dollars to the Special Operations Warrior Fund. I guess your head was too busy exploding for you to remember that part of the rally.

The story here is not worth reading, but the picture series is nice:

Mike-
the translation is funny…..

…It is a provocation for Liberal America: In Washington have gathered thousands of ultra – conservatives, calculated on the anniversary of the ” I Have a Dream “speech Martin Luther King. The hardliners protest against President Obama – and for the ” honor ” of the nation.
