WASHINGTON (Aug. 28) -- From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, conservative broadcaster Glenn Beck told a crowd of tens of thousands of people Saturday that the U.S. has too long "wandered in darkness." His rally's marquee speaker, Sarah Palin, praised "patriots" in the audience for "knowing never to retreat." The two champions of the tea party movement spoke from the very spot where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech 47 years ago. Some civil rights leaders who have denounced Beck's choice of a venue staged a rival rally to honor King. Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee who may make a White House run in 2012, said activists must honor King's legacy by paying tribute to the men and women who protect the United States in uniform. Beck, pacing back and forth on the marble steps, said he was humbled by the size of the crowd, which stretched along the Washington Mall's long reflecting pool nearly all the way to the Washington Monument. "Something beyond imagination is happening," he said. "America today begins to turn back to God." "For too long, this country has wandered in darkness," said Beck, a Fox News host. He said it was now time to "concentrate on the good things in America, the things we have accomplished and the things we can do tomorrow." Neither Beck nor Palin made overtly political comments. Palin, greeted by chants of "USA, USA, USA" from many in the crowd, told the gathering, "It is so humbling to get to be here with you today, patriots. You who are motivated and engaged ... and knowing never to retreat." "We must restore America and restore her honor," said the former Alaska governor, echoing the name of the rally, "Restoring Honor." Palin told the crowd she wasn't speaking as a politician. "No, something more, something much more. I've been asked to speak as the mother of a soldier and I am proud of that distinction. Say what you want to say about me, but I raised a combat vet and you can't take that away from me." It was a reference to her son, Track, 20, who served a yearlong deployment in Iraq. Palin honored military members in her speech. She likened the rally participants to the civil rights activists who came to the National Mall to hear King's historic speech. She said the same spirit that helped civil rights activists overcome oppression, discrimination and violence would help this group as well. "We are worried about what we face. Sometimes, our challenges seem insurmountable," Palin said. "Look around you. You're not alone," Palin told participants. The crowd - organizers had a permit for 300,000 - was vast, with people standing shoulder to shoulder across large expanses of the Mall. The National Park Service stopped doing crowd counts in 1997 after the agency was accused of underestimating numbers for the 1995 Million Man March. Civil rights leaders protested the event and scheduled a 3-mile plus march from a high school to the site of a planned King memorial near the Tidal Basin and not far from Beck's gathering. Beck has said he did not intend to choose the King anniversary for his rally but had since decided it was "divine providence." Organizers said their aim was to honor military personnel and others "who embody our nation's founding principles of integrity, truth and honor." Many in the crowd watched the proceedings on large television screens. On the edges of the Mall, vendors sold "Don't Tread on Me" flags, popular with tea party activists. Other activists distributed fliers urging voters "dump Obama." The pamphlet included a picture of the president with a Hitler-style mustache. The Rev. Al Sharpton, leading the civil rights march, said Beck's demonstration was an anti-government rally that advocated states' rights - counter to the message in King's speech, in which the civil right leader appealed to the federal government to ensure equality. "The structural breakdown of a strong national government, which is what they're calling for, is something that does not serve the interests of the nation and it's something that Dr. King and others fought against," Sharpton told C-SPAN hours before his event. People began filling up the space between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument early in the day, many waving American flags. Wasington's subway system was extremely crowded with long lines of people trying to get to the rally. Metro spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein said that there was crowding at least a dozen stations. Ricky Thomas, 43, a SWAT team police officer from Chesapeake Beach, Md., brought his 10-year old son Chase to the Beck rally. "I wanted my son to see democracy in action," Thomas said. He said he wants government to stay out of people's lives. He acknowledged that he works for government, but said it's "a part of government that helps people when they are in trouble." Beck has given voice to those angry and frustrated with President Barack Obama and other Democrats this election year, especially members of the tea party movement.

Sorry, you said it. I'm way to busy to go around pulling links up for every little comment you made.
Clinton and Cuomo are the true bandits who lit the fuse to this economic crisis we're now in. All in the name of getting more minorities in houses: http://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=12554
If I show you how quickly this reality was put out into the press will you promise to never post here or at LP again? If you are so confident that this was never let alone quickly explained you should take the bet... Another bet? Can't you and Freddy just play Lotto? Why should I accept your version of the truth? And another thing - why are you so anxious to get rid of me? What if the stakes for you were never again wearing your spandex/bib ensemble? That after losing the bet you'd have to wear Gor-Tex instead? See - I just don't have the heart to do that to you...
Maybe War would prefer the sloppy LE operations of weekend volunteer police hobbyists saving his family (and wardrobe of spandex 3-piece suits and banana hammocks) from armed MS-13 kidnappers. Who needs SWAT??
I can't tell if you're serious - you've become that disengaged with reality during the last couple of years. Dana Milbank?? Please. LIBERAL. Russert?? Dead, but was center-Left AT BEST. Judith Miller? Yeah, maybe a neo, but she hardly "controls" jack-squat. Hey - you HAVE heard of the 'JOURN-O-LIST', right, war? The Associated Press? Reuters? The New York Times? Time Mag? THAT "list" goes on.
Russert was Cheney's best friend. They go back to the first Gulf War when Cheney used Russert to make the case for Desert Storm. Dana Milbank was PRO INVASION. In fact, pick a beat writer for the Iraq war and you won't find even ONE who was opposed to it. The press fell totally asleep. The fact that you would beleive, btw, that there was ANY question about Judith Miller is you flunking the test.
SWAT teams are a better reason for 2A than health care. By your rationale, NO fedgov worker should oppose Big Gubmint. Is THAT what you're claiming? SWATs are necessarily because liberal and ACLU coddling of criminals require surgical LE missions that must treat crazy perps like rock-stars who are merely off their meds. Oh, and because sometimes the perps even out-firepower local police depts. I'm sure were you in harms way you'd prefer the "expertise" of the Staten Island PD instead of SWAT, right?
Nope. By my rationale, any government organization that continuallt skirts the Bill of Rights is one an oppponent of Big Government should not want to worjk for, And 2A exists not because of the criminal among us but the one's who govern us.
Chuckles...caught in yet another lie, Nebby. You're getting as bad as Boofer.
This isn't accepting anything. You CLAIM that the Kerry camp never explained the quote. I'm telling you that they did and did quickly. Take the bet you balless wonder or be laughed at copiously and abundantly.
I have e_type_fag on bozo... In other words, I won't see his rambling response about truck stips, blow jobs and spooge. Nor do I care to. Thanks.
Fool! It's e_type_jagoff! He's mentally deranged. Reading his stuff is like figuring out who Hannibal Lecter is.
Then you should have no problem providing the quote.

Even IF Russert and Cheney spooned each other, you claimed, "Neocons control the press, fool." I didn't quite catch your answer; Did you say you'd never heard of 'JOURN-O-LIST'?? The AP? NYT? CNN? MSNBC? Dana Milbank was PRO INVASION. In fact, pick a beat writer for the Iraq war and you won't find even ONE who was opposed to it. The press fell totally asleep. A LOT of liberals were pro-invasion. So what? Maybe they based those opinions on the fake intel presented by Colin Powell, neocon/liberal hybrid. Anyway, in Dana Milbank's own words: "Anybody reading my column would make an informed judgment that I'm left-of-center, and I wouldn't quarrel with that," he says. "But strongly ideological people on the left do not recognize me as one of their own." Ooops. He's only a mere moderate "Leftist." Not even just a "liberal." The fact that you would beleive, btw, that there was ANY question about Judith Miller is you flunking the test. Big Deal. So Judith Miller is a neocon.
Russert was Cheney's best friend. They go back to the first Gulf War when Cheney used Russert to make the case for Desert Storm.

So what?!? That's my POINT moron. You just validated it...thanks.
A LOT of liberals were pro-invasion. So what?
#163. To: war (#162)
Really? Is that opinion based on several bong-hits or just plain stupidity? I'm willing to give you credit for both. Your actual point was that neocons "control the press."

Define "skirting" and just how much do you care about the "rights" of kidnappers, hijackers, and hostage-takers? 2A exists not because of the criminal among us but the one's who govern us. Just as long as they're GOP/Conservatives though, right? HEY! How about that Janet Reno(D)!! Billy Klintoon(D)!!

Btw, you NEVER "ramble on" about BJs and "spooge", right?? (eyeball roll) maybe you're right - It's MUCH more phallic in nature (with liberal heapings of the c*** words tossed in for good measure.)

#168. To: sneakypete (#149)
Follow the money. It's often the case, but there are conservatives and Pubbies out there who still actually buy into the "fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here" BS. Palin is one of them.
Yeah, why Palin and some conservatives insist that wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and "Nation Building" are "protecting" us in ANY sense...I just don't get it.
#169. To: war (#167)
Have at it, Professor.
You do understand the term ["control the press"]?
#170. To: sneakypete (#146)
Makes perfect sense to me. Like I keep saying,we are now a One Party Nation and the leaders of that party are all owned by the international bankers. It's never been more obvious. But then it's always been the case - the Elites have always been a bit discreet about it. TILL LATELY. All that can be done politically in the US is dilute Statism as much as possible ASAP and try undermining the RNC leadership. If not, we're totally cooked within the next 10 years.
It [war] is a waste when we are spending it and the lives and health of our young people on wars that shouldn't be fought and on defense for other nations.
#171. To: e_type_jag, war (#126)
You mean "closet," right?? ;-) (hey war - not that there's anything wrong with that :^D FYI I recall one of the fake's storylines mixed in with being a wall street "shaker" as well as a prior "conservative" and GOP stalwart and staunch NRA dude.....was something like he fancies himself some kind of Tin Man pentathlete super stud assclown. ROFL - hysterical! I learn more about war from your taglines than anything else, lol. He went from Charlton Heston to Pauly Shor in a couple of years. How did THAT that happen?? Point is, a real U/M actually seems to take time off to prep and then actually participate in these things. Well, any serious U/M would. My theory is it's just a great excuse for war to slip into spandex. Lol...

Aaw, now don't do me like that bay-bay! Asked me what? Look - You never answered any of my questions, but I guess now you don't have to. Very convenient. Hey btw, I extended you the courtesy of a ping when I didn't have to. Geez, stop being so damn sensitive - everyone gets their balls broken here. Is that anything new?

It's often the case, but there are conservatives and Pubbies out there who still actually buy into the "fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here" BS. Yes,I agree and understand this. They are the easily led "sheeple". Still,they are NOT the ones making the decisions. The ones making the decisions are doing this purely for profits and power. Their only philosophy is that of "Me,me,ME,DAMMIT!" The politicians whose strings they pull,the voters who vote for these politicians,and the people who suffer from these decisions are irrelevant to them. They exist to serve. Palin is one of them. I think she is a "true believer" too,but I also think she doesn't have any real objection to the millions of dollars that are being thrown her way in return for her support. Thinking you are doing the right thing while getting millions of dollars from doing it is a powerful incentive.

Very true with one excpetion. It's not that they aren't being discreet anymore,it's that with the internet and modern instant communications there is no way they can keep all their moves secret. You see somethin like the attack on 9-11 happen and then somebody on or connected to Wall Street notices who was dumping stock in some corporations the week before and buying stock in defense organizations and then posting it on the internet for anybody to see who wants to take a look. What is saving their asses so far is all the dedicated Party People and their blind loyalty that find these things horribly offensive and criminal when somebody from the other party does it,but then turns around and makes excuses when it is THEIR guy doing the same thing.
It's never been more obvious. But then it's always been the case - the Elites have always been a bit discreet about it. TILL LATELY.
