Glenn Beck Is A Nut Case By: Jim - September 2, 2010 - 8:30am This Beck guy is a real nut case...Just read his Wikipedia biography. As a quick psychological profile, it explains so much about him as a textbook megalomaniac (including his study of another one...Adolf Hitler, in which I can see similar tactics being leveraged from Hitler and his minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels as far as the cult of personality and the strategy of rallying the disenfranchised in society to his cause. Beck even owns his own media company to get the dogma out there. I’m convinced that Beck's also a racist. I just viewed a Youtube video clip where he is watching a speech by President Obama and refers to it as something from the "Planet of the Apes". Further...this Tea Party political movement has certain extremist undertones that reminds me of the brown shirt thugs of early Nazi Germany, or the Red Guard in China in the mid 60's. To me it's the Taliban faction of the Republican Party. Who are they trying to kid saying they are not? The Tea Party is nothing more than the "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" propaganda model on steroids and meth that claims to be unaffiliated with the GOP. The sad thing is...racists and anti-government/tax morons (anti-infrastructure idiots really) want to believe it and want to see it disrupt our nation simply because collectively, I believe that these people are nothing more than a similar strain of racist, ignorant, insecure and jealous people of Nazi Germany. I don't like what I'm seeing at all with this...Especially when Beck is calling it a restoration of honor and holding it on that same day and at the same location that Martin Luther King gave his remarkable "I have a dream" speech about tolerance and inspiration. Beck said that it was "just a coincidence" that his mob is rallying today. He's a liar and doesn't know what the word honor means. If he was truly honorable and true to his convictions, he would tell it like it really is...That he is a racist, that he love's fame, power and is keeping a close eye on his growing fortune. Beck is nothing more than Limbaugh 2.0. Another selfish, unethical, well-paid republican pawn in it for the buck I think, more than the message. This movement and the weak economy is not a good combination. Again, it reminds me in some key ways of the fledgling Nazi movement in Germany during the 1920's, and similar conditions in other nations throughout world history that later experienced significant political upheaval that led to totalitarianism, loss of personal freedoms, and the persecution of those that have opposing perspectives or worse, different racial and cultural backgrounds. Lastly...what really burns me to the core is that both Beck and Limbaugh in all their patriotic fervor didn't have the guts and conviction as young men to volunteer and serve honorably in the United States Military as I did along with millions of others who are members of the Democratic Party which they despise. For that...as an American Military Veteran...I piss on both of them as cowards along with the other hypocritical chicken-hawk pussies like Gingrich and Cheney that mindless fools in our nation listen to. Bush and his poor "tone at the top" along with Greenspan empowered the Gordon Geckos of Wall Street to screw the world up financially and W's poor leadership choices prevented the CIA from getting Bin Laden when they had him within their grasp (read Jawbreaker). Obama inerited this mess, and is man enough to try to fix it. The sad thing is, it takes effort, trial and error and time, just like everything else in life. The naysayers that got us here in the first place would just hate to see him succeed, now wouldn't they? Why? Because their name and party wouldn’t be on the signature line and just perhaps because he's not completely white. As if that really matters. I'm a white male. My wife is asian, My great kids are both. So what?

Caution Posters: I think somebody is becoming unhinged here.   Be sure to tune in to Beck on Friday's show because he is having three of his inspirational speakers from the Restoring Honor event on as guests. One of them is a pastor whose face was literally melted off while serving in Viet Nam. His story is amazing as are the other two guys.

You are the one drinking the kool aid now. You can pout and whine all you want, but the rally was a big fat failure, (kinda like the host). You're really acting like a petulant child right now about this. Why is it so important for the teabaggers to lie about this? They must be realizing that no one cares to hear what they have to say! Why do I call you Big Slurpy? Hahahaha

Trophywife wrote: BS, you're a sore, sore loser!! Why are you calling me BigSurprize? Are you completely daft? Never mind, I already know the answer to that. Well, you can keep posting the misinformation a.k.a. LIES as long as you feel the need, but the AP photos tell the truth. There, problem solved. The "Restoring Honor" event was a phenomenon of epic proportions. Nobody from the liberal media would ever draw a crowd of that magnitude. The vicious threats of violence against those who attended stemming from the radicals on the left didn't deter them, it just made people more resolved to do what they think is right. Something that has seriously gone awry in the past 20 months. Beck had 240 clergymen up on the stage who stood arm in arm and asking the American people to turn back to GOD. Rabbi's, Priests, and even Imam's. Black, brown and white and green. Oh, there is no green. Dr Alveda King had to pray for her life just for being there, how is that for liberal tolerance and hatred??  The Black Panthers (Ibama's friends) threatened to take care of anyone who attended the rally. Al Sharpton was out there trying to gin up violence with "his followers" saying things like "We aren't going to let them take this day away from us"...who was trying to take anything away from anyone? Who are the "they" Al?? Oh, the White folk?? He was stirring up his usual race baiting but for some reason, nobody had the heart to follow his direction. I think he made a complete fool out of himself and it is becoming quite apparent who the racists really are in this mix. Sharpton is over on the other side ginning up racist violence while Beck is on the other side praying, encouraging people to turn back to GOD and raising 5 MILLION dollars for the Wounded Warriors program. He honored three gentleman with medals for their extraordinary achievements in their lives. Now, what was the liberal REV Al Sharpton doing again, oh yeah, revving up some serious hate. He was as angry as I've ever heard him. Over 500,000 people in attendance and not one incident. Nothing but pure love and honor for their fellow man. And all the liberals want to do is mischaracterize and demonize anyone who says something positive about it. This is much bigger than Glenn, this is about the American people having their say. Of course, Ibama said during an interview this weekend when asked about it pretty much said he hadn't really noticed, didn't watch and thought this was nothing more than events that have happened throughout history. Now who is being "dismissive" and sometimes "derisive" huh Professor??? Those are a half a million Americans talking straight to you. Last edited on Wed Sep 1st, 2010 03:15 pm by razenkn |

BS, you're a sore, sore loser!! As part of our coverage of Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally Saturday, CBS News commissioned the company AirPhotosLive.com to offer an independent estimate of how many people showed up for the event. AirPhotosLive.com calculated that there were approximately 87,000 people there, plus or minus 9,000 people. It was the only scientific estimate made of the number of people at the rally. The estimate generated criticism from conservative bloggers as well as from Beck himself, who suggested the rally attracted at least 500,000 people. "The media can diminish the crowd side all they want, but the images speak for themselves," Beck said on his Fox News show Monday. In order to bring more clarity to the crowd estimation process, Hotsheet asked Curt Westergard, the president of AirPhotosLive.com, to discuss his methods. Westergard's company has done aerial imaging for the U.S. border patrol, the Department of Homeland Security, companies building skyscrapers and cell phone companies trying to decide where to build their towers, among others. "People hire us to get a really detailed view of what's on the ground," he said. The company sometimes uses these images for crowd estimates, both generating its own estimates and partnering with Professor Stephen Doig of Arizona State University, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and crowd estimate expert, to come up with figures. For President Obama's inauguration last year, the company worked with Doig and GeoEye satellite data to generate a crowd estimate on behalf of CNN that was cited by the Associated Press and other news outlets. To calculate attendance at the Beck rally, AirPhotosLive.com used what is called a surveillance aerostat balloon to take pictures from both above the event and closer to the ground. In the video above, which was provided by the company, you can see some of the images used to come up with a figure. The balloon, Westergard said, gave the company the capacity to move up and down, allowing it to photograph people who were standing beneath trees in addition to taking photos from high above.

Oh, I'm sure you will lift some clever ones from your newfound hate everything republican website.  I have no doubt about that. Still trying to get over the fact that Beck and Palin were rock stars this weekend?? I know, it's tough on you folks but it's going to be okay, really. I saw on Beck all the misleading and straight out false headlines and articles and interviews about the "Restoring Honor" event, it was incredible. We all know the media is biased, that's just a given but to this extent, I was even shocked by it.CBS... 87,000 people somehow says it all when in reality it was closer to a half a million. Beck had to wear a bullet proof vest (his wife and kids made him) and Alveda King, MLK's niece prayed for them both before going on stage because she also had death threats. That is who your folks on here worship, not the people who are willing to take the risks and stand up for what they believe to be good about our Country. So, go for the corny and hateful slogans, it will just show everyone who you really are and what you do best and the rest of us will continue to post the truth, rokey, dokey??

Thanks, Glenn Thanks for the Reminder, Glenn Making Sense, by Michael Reagan Glenn Beck’s remarkable rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial Saturday was a wake-up call for his beloved America. This nation, he reminded us, is and has been since its founding a nation under God. Failure to recognize our absolute dependence upon God, he said, has put this nation in peril. His warning echoed that my father once delivered when he told Americans, "When we stop being a nation under God, we will be a nation gone under.” For a long time we have been slowly drifting away from that reality, acting as if our destiny were solely in our own hands -- it’s as if we were saying to the Almighty, “Thanks for the ten suggestions, and such trivial admonitions as the Sermon on the Mount, but we’d rather do it our up-to-date modern way.” I don’t need to remind you that doing it our way: slaughtering the innocent unborn by the tens of millions; now defying the integrity of marriage, that most ancient of institutions; allowing our government to be profligate not only with our own resources but those of generations to come has led us down the road to ruin for us and our children and our children’s children. We have allowed our government and our representatives in Congress to squander not only our financial resources but those of future generations of American so that we can enjoy all those wondrous benefits Washington offers us, now and allegedly free of charge. We have replaced the old adage that God proposes, man disposes. Now it’s solely man proposes. And what a mess we’ve made. In his book, “The God that Did Not Fail” (Encounter Books), Robert Royal warns that the movement toward “progressive irreligion” encourages ignorance of religion’s unparalleled importance in the development and maintenance of western culture. Glenn echoed that explanation of our current condition. Prior to the Glenn Beck rally Saturday, our newest deity, the all-knowing mass media, predicted that Beck would rant and rage about politics and the current administration and perhaps provoke violence on a frightening scale. It never occurred to the atheistic media that Glenn’s message would be about God’s love and our solemn obligation to love one another even as we love ourselves. Much to their astonishment, instead of dwelling on the political differences that divide is, Glenn beseeched us to acknowledge our absolute dependence upon the Divine will and our obligation to love God and our neighbor, no matter who he is. A friend of mine complained to me the other day that when he went to confession, the priest told him that he was obliged to love his neighbors, all of them. When he almost jokingly asked if that meant he even had to love Barack Obama, the priest said an emphatic “yes.” Sometimes, he complained, God demands the impossible. The priest reminded him that with God’s help, all things are possible. That, in a nutshell, is what Glenn Beck was telling us last Saturday: Love of God and love of neighbor, not political rhetoric and dissension, is the sole solution to our national woes. My Dad, Ronald Reagan, warned us that a nation that shuns God is on the road to ruin. Thanks again for the reminder, Glenn.

Why don't you just eat your crow and enjoy it. Just because you believe it doesn't make it true. I'll say it again... you lost! You can't handle the truth and DM just wants to shove it under the carpet. Failure is a hard pill to swallow, but just do it and move on.

So, why are you fighting that so hard, what is your issue with the fact American's are fed up, done, overcooked, slapped around, made out to be fools, insignificant, and not worthy, now fighting back??????? Nobody can deny Beck and Palin drew HUNDREDS of Thousands...so??? What threat is that to you and your fellow liberoidiots???? Free speech...right???? Why so threatened then??? If Beck's message was so dumb, so inconsequential, so non-important, then why are you so hateful and angry about it???? Why are you trying so hard to diminish it??? That's what I thought, you are scared.

Sorry Big Slurpy - look who has egg on their face now!!! You are so bothered by this that you spent all day trying to find one source to back your phoney claims and then it has a footnote saying that your source was in trouble for making false claims. Hahahahahah That's about the lamest post I've ever read from you. Makes me think you are really bothered by the fact that Little Drunk Beck failed. You republicans just can't accept failure, can you?? It just eats away at you, doesn't it. Well the media is backing CBS on this one and that's probably why you didn't post this earlier - it took you so long to find it. Oh and BTW it's nice to see your a new fan of NBC. I don't have time to copy and paste the millions of media reports that prove you wrong, but how about the Fire Department? Pretty reliable compared to an agency that is fraudulent. Get over it Slurpy, you can't win this one! At no time did ABC News, or its affiliates, report a number anywhere near as large. ABCNews.com reported an approximate figure of 60,000 to 70,000 protesters, attributed to the Washington, D.C., fire department. In its reports, ABC News Radio described the crowd as "tens of thousands".

Truth must certainly hurt you since you continue to defend the lie or should we say "miscalculation..winky,wink.." or should we say "bias"??? Why don't you just admit you jumped on the false information wagon like you always do. They pour the juice and you drink it and then regurgitate it, we know that. LOL Then they make a fool out of you, and yet you do it over and over again. Looks as though it might be you who should "get over it". Glenn Beck rocked and you need to just accept it gracefully. Beck Rally Draws Questions About Crowd Size How many people attended Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. on Saturday? It depends who you ask. Organizers estimated the crowd size at 500,000. Domenico Montanaro, an off-air NBC News political reporter, tweeted that a National Parks Service official estimated between 300,000 and 325,000 had turned out for Beck’s evangelical-like gathering on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. (He noted that the agency no longer gives out official estimates; according to CBSNews.com, the Park Service “stopped counting crowds in 1997 after being accused of underestimating the size of the Million Man March in 1995.”) Citing NBC, the New York Times reported 300,000 were “stretched from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument.” The figure was picked up (and subsequently blared) by the Drudge Report. Fox News characterized the crowd as “huge” and reported “thousands in attendance.” Beck had predicted at least 100,000 would show up at an event that featured speeches from Beck, Palin and a tribute to St. Louis Cardinals’ slugger Albert Pujols. Organizers of the rally had a permit for 300,000.

And That's An Order!!! Education secretary urged his employees to attend Sharpton's rally By: Lisa Gartner Examiner Staff Writer August 30, 2010  A Department of Education e-mail sent Wednesday encouraged workers to join Education Secretary Arne Duncan, above, at a rally led by the Rev. Al Sharpton. (AP file photo) President Obama's top education official urged government employees to attend a rally that the Rev. Al Sharpton organized to counter a larger conservative event on the Mall. "ED staff are invited to join Secretary Arne Duncan, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and other leaders on Saturday, Aug. 28, for the 'Reclaim the Dream' rally and march," began an internal e-mail sent to more than 4,000 employees of the Department of Education on Wednesday. Sharpton created the event after Glenn Beck announced a massive Tea Party "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial, where King spoke in 1963. The Washington Examiner learned of the e-mail from a Department of Education employee who felt uncomfortable with Duncan's request. Although the e-mail does not violate the Hatch Act, which forbids federal employees from participating in political campaigns, Education Department workers should feel uneasy, said David Boaz, executive vice president of the libertarian Cato Institute. "It sends a signal that activity on behalf of one side of a political debate is expected within a department. It's highly inappropriate ... even in the absence of a direct threat," Boaz said. "If we think of a Bush cabinet official sending an e-mail to civil servants asking them to attend a Glenn Beck rally, there would be a lot of outrage over that." Russ Whitehurst, director of the liberal-leaning Brookings Institution's Brown Center of Education Policy, said nothing like this happened when he was a Department of Education program director from 2001 to 2008: "Only political appointees would have been made aware of such an event and encouraged to attend." Officially, Sharpton's event commemorated the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. "[Conservatives] think we showed up [to vote for Barack Obama] in 2008 and that we won't show up again. But we know how to sucker-punch, and we're coming out again in 2010," Sharpton said. Obama avoided comment on Saturday's dueling rallies, but Duncan took the podium alongside Sharpton and 30 other speakers on the football field of Dunbar High School. Thousands of mostly blacks listened -- and a lone man booed -- as Duncan called education "the civil rights issue of our generation." "Educators, we have to stop thinking of [poor-performing children] as other people's children," he said. Speakers at the Sharpton rally praised Obama and took jabs at the Tea Party. "Dr. King gave us a miracle in 2008. He gave us the first African-American president, and we must let them know today that we support [Obama]," said John Boyd, Jr., president of the National Black Farmers Association. D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton said Beck's rally "would change nothing. ... We will move right over you." Education Department spokeswoman Sandra Abrevaya defended Duncan's decision. "This was a back-to-school event," she said. Duncan was chief executive officer of Chicago Public Schools for seven years before Obama nominated him in December 2008

If he did raise that much, they deserve that money just for the fact that he smeared their name by associating it with this failure of an event.

What about Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, etc. ? Actually 'white people' is a euphemism for all peoples. Lots of people have just plain had it with Washington and the folks in Washington don't really give a d**n what others think. Last edited on Tue Aug 31st, 2010 12:55 am by duece |

Sharpton described the demonstration by Beck and his supporters as an anti-government rally advocating states' rights. Right on, Al. He must have read the Constitution. You think . . . nah!

AirPhotosLive.com gave its estimate a margin of error of 9,000, meaning between 78,000 and 96,000 people attended the rally. The photos used to make the estimate were taken at noon Saturday, which is when the company estimated was the rally's high point.

I know the truth hurts but Air Photos Live is a very reputable business. Get over it. Once again the right loses. BTW isn't that a cute picture of him? When Glenn Beck's handicapped daughter was the age of Malia, Glenn was high on drugs and getting drunk every night.
