People gathered Saturday in DC at the Lincoln Memorial as part of an event that Glenn Beck was hosting. The rally was a hybrid neocon pep rally/religious revival, consisting of pictures on a giant TV screen of famous moments from American history, along with inspirational music, waving flags, and talk of destiny and God from a loudmouth Fox News preacher who hides the insincerity in his eyes behind a thick layer of glasses while weeping in breathy sobs to mask his laughter.
A speaker at the event even said "Glenn Beck is one of America's most trusted and honored citizens."
With Beck being inserted into the mainstream consciousness as the "patriot" opposition to Barack Obama and his gang of globalist thugs, so many who now wave the Gadsden flag and give lip service to the Constitution watch Beck with fawning adoration, having forgotten or choosing to ignore the kind of person the man really is.
Just a few years ago Glenn Beck implied that Ron Paul supporters were dangerous potential terrorists, contributing to the mainstream media marginalization of Paul's campaign in favor of neocon candidates like John McCain and Mitt Romney who advocated more war and more loss of civil liberties. Beck also led the swarm on grassroots Constitutionalist candidate for TX governor Debra Medina in a calculated attempt to knock the feet out from under her campaign before she could outshine the mainstream Republicans in the primary.
Even in non-political settings and non-9/11 related issues Beck has shown contempt for average people he considers himself superior to. A good example of this is an old segment on his radio show called "Moron Trivia" in which he would call convenience stores and ask the beleaguered workers there trivial questions about current issues while secretly ridiculing them to his audience. Though Glenn Beck gleefully pretended he was doing the cruel segment against his own will, the fact is that if he truly didn't want to do it, he wouldn't have. It's much like a sadistic husband beating his wife, all the while voicing his regret over what her actions are making him do.
Sinclair Lewis once said, "When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." Though Beck talks of God and stopping injustice, he advocates the hazardous and bloody neocon foreign policies that have killed countless innocents, made America more hated around the world, and further weakened our national security. Indeed, Glenn Beck's establishment-backed rise as a "patriot leader" is simply Plan B for shepherding the patriot movement back to the fake left/right machine, and channeling public outrage at Obama's actions as President into a form that can be manipulated and controlled...the same way Obama did for liberals who opposed the actions of George W. Bush.
Manipulating the people of a country that have been the victims of psyops over and over again, and who are looking for leaders to believe in, is not only self-serving, but mean. Because Beck has the showmanship and organizational backing to pull off his deception he has decided to take his thirty pieces of silver and proudly display them as "Godly."
Some are falling for it. Many others are not.
The only accidentally true statement Glenn Beck uttered during his speech at the rally is something he said when talking about World War 2 and the memorial in DC "You cannot coexist with evil."
Perhaps a few activists in 9/11 Truth shirts should have shown up at Beck's rally. (If any did, I don't know.) That way some real patriotism and justice could be injected into Beck's adoring mob.

Not unlike the 'creepy revival' held in '63, n'est-ce pas?
Hey there, war...just wondering if you have any evidence whatsoever that justifies linking the TeaParty gatherings with WhiteSupremicist groups of the past? Or R U simply spewing more HATEFUL LIES like the RAT-minions R trained 2 do? TheTruth is what frightens BigGuv'ment Obamabots the most...MUD
Keith Olbermann said it;
I hear that when yer diagnosed with Obamabotulism, the first thing that goes is yer critical thinkin'...MUD
The same can be said for knee-jerk opposition.
Knee-jerk NOTHING, ma'am...you could see his Marxist Agenda coming from months/miles away. And don't get me wrong, McStain wouldda been almost as bad, maybe even a li'l worse on account of a lotta folks figgering warmed-over Milquetoast Moderate-ism is gonna be the best we can ever hope for. At least now, folks see that the Marxist Obamabots are totally serious about HATING FreeMarketCapitalism and we gotta stand up and fight back or forever be ashamed to tell our grandkids that it was OUR Generation that allowed Tyranny to Triumph and to herald in our Orwellian future...MUD
So you are now saying that Obama was actually the lesser of two evils? LOLOL You crack me up.
Not exactly what I said, but in retrospect, I'm not sure the TeaParties wouldda been as heavily-attended if McStain wouldda won in 2008. Hey MG, I've been supporting the down-sizing of the Federal Leviathan since the mid-90's, and all I've seen is continuous growth no matter if Clinton, Bush, or Obama are sitting in the White House. Finally, the numbers of WeThePeople who are noticing has increased since the ObamaNation took over DeeCee, and I'm just looking to make lemonade outta these lemons we've been dealt...MUD
Yet I only see the lemons squeezers out in force when they are out of power.
Not sure what that's referencing exactly, but I do know I have always been out of Power and have ALWAYS preached fiscal conservatism, much to the chagrin of my Bushbot buddies over on FR back in the day...MUD
She's saying 12 years ago you were energized by Slick Willy. So was I. Now we've got millions energized by the Messiah. It won't make any difference. The system is rigged.
Looking back, it was never all about Slick Willie, it was the fact that a member of the Ruling Class could get away with the crimes I am convinced he committed. To me, you just can't see EVIL and NOT stand up boldly against it, and what Clinton authorized at Waco was EEEVIL!! What Der SchleekMeister did in terms of nuclear-arming the Chi-Coms in exchange for campaign contributions was not only criminal, it was TREASONOUS!! Then Dubyuh turned out to be the Milquetoast Moderate I figgered him fer when I supported SteveForbes in '00...acorn don't fall far from the PapaBush when it comes to being a RINO vis a vis the unconstitutional growth of the Federal Leviathan. The RAT-Messiah is simply taking it to a whole 'nother level, and I'm glad others are finally catching on...MUD
I agree - but the main problem is that when you're talking about a collective (in this case a country - the US), the collective today cannot even agree as to what evil IS. It's true that a large faction of us know that what Zero and his co-partners is doing to this once great nation is evil. But an equally large faction cannot get past their notion that the ultimate personification of evil was Bush and HIS gang. To them, whatever bad that happened in the past or happens in the present or future - it's Bush's fault. And then another faction - the statist/liberal/communist faction - believe that Zero ISN'T DESTROYING THE COUNTRY FAST ENOUGH! I've defined three factions - there may be more. But even these three factions cannot seem to agree on anything - much less as to what evil IS. As evidenced by postings on this board everyday, all we seem to do is name call and talk past one another. The only thing that is going to ultimately change anything is the coming economic crash. It ain't a gonna be pretty.
A fourth faction which is rapidly growing are those that believe both parties and maybe others are just tiers in the same falling cake. Yet so many here want to go back to a previous tier which has already been proven grossly defective, and hasn't and is not willing to change itself one iota.
The rest of us - whether we call ourselves GOPers, demwits, statists, communists or anarchists - fall into the "have not" category. What's hilarious is that there are apparently quite a number of us who think that if our "team" wins - that we'll benefit. Some may think THIS TIME (if the GOP wins) it will be different. Color me cynical.
What's this? Are there no right-wing billionaires? What about the Waltons, Richard Mellon Scaife, Adolph Coors Foundation, David H. Koch and Charles G. Koch, etc. Why is it that Buffet and Soros (especially Soros) get all the attention when Scaife and others have been active in politics for years?
Wake me when Scaife et. al. succeed in electing a group of socialists/Marxists bent on "reshaping" the country.
Why are we in Iraq, dude?
It's a side-show. It doesn't matter:
C'mon dude...you know that's BS. Why did everyone drop out of 2000 and give it to Poppy's evil spawn? Why was FL stolen?
It didn't matter. Gore would have been no different that Bush. (ATTENTION PEOPLE IN THE VICINITY OF war! BEWARE OF EXPLODING HEAD!)

That's pretty funny.
Uh...no...the McCain "challenge" was a joke... PING me to the results of the mandated recount of FL 2000. Thanks.

In that regard, there are perhaps only two factions - the haves and the have nots. The haves are a very small group of globalist billionaires (Warren Buffet, George Soros, Bill Gates, and others). Nothing of substance is allowed to happen in the world if it will negatively effect THEIR bottom line. Yet so many here want to go back to a previous tier which has already been proven grossly defective, and hasn't and is not willing to change itself one iota.
I'm not sure of what previous tier you speak. No one who is not a partisan hack wants to go back to Bush and the GOP spendthrift Congress.

Putting aside your bullshit premise - my answer remains the same.
