I think many of us have issues with the concept of Beck of all people talking about American honor, when he seems so devoid of it. Nice spin job though.

Please cite for us examples where Beck hasn't promoted American Honor? Sounds like stereotyping to me.
 
I see some conservatives lurking in this thread, do you have anwers to my questions?

Mr. Sharpton, please step forward. Liberals abound, please step forward.

Lets face.. no matter what happens Beck and his tea party friends will claim 1 billion people attended and use fake footage taken in winter 20 years ago to prove that there was that many people.

LOL he says the media will say there were 40,000 people. He has some way figured out how to get an exact count and is hoping the media tries to spin it.
 
Conservative,

What would Martin Luther King Jr. say about Glenn Beck and conservative's demagoguery of Muslims?

Where is the honor?

Seriously, Do you think MLK would be in favor of the carnage we have done in the ME? What is Beck going to say about that? Huh?

the fact that a family member of Martin Luther King is speaking at the rally is quite telling. What say you? "Your" President was elected to unite the country and put aside partisan differences. Had he done that there would have been no need for "Restoring Honor to America.?

Muslim terrorists? I assume he'd agree since he was all about peace.

What demagoguery? you think it is appropriate to put a Mosque at Ground Zero? Just like with everything else the objection is distorted just like the purpose of the rally and some here buy the hate rhetoric and instead of denouncing it, promote more of it.

I totally agree, Martin Luther King was indeed all about peace, not a supporter of radical Islam. As much as liberals want to make this about being anti Muslim it really is all about the content of character.

From Martin Luther King's "I have a Dream" Speech

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

In typical liberal fashion, you are lying through your teeth. Glenn Beck has nothing what so ever, against Muslims.

What he does have a problem with, just as the over whelming majority of Americans do, is the threat of RADICAL Muslims. Radical Islam is real, whether those of you on the left want to accept it or not.

You divert from my questions.
Seriously, it was Bush that said he was a uniter, not a divider. He did just the opposite by attacking a country that pose a threat.

Are the Muslim who want to build near ground zero radical? Do you think MLK would be against that project? And you don't think conservative are using this whole issue for political gain? BS

Since you obviously do not know what he would say, how can you be against it?
 
MLK was very much against the Vietnam war, what would he say about Iraq?

He would probably be against it. Where is your line of questioning going here?

Over 70% of the American people are against that Mosque being built there. That transcends politics my friend.

You could argue there are alot reasons why African-Americans tend to vote Democrat moreso than Republican, but I doubt it's just because there happens to be a Black candidate on the ballot.

Now, as Chris Rock put it if the candidate is "Black and qualified", then in the immortal words of Lil' John, "YEAH!!!" I'll vote for the candidate in a heart beat if I agree with his/her agenda. :mrgreen:

Hint: There's a reason African-American's didn't come out in droves for Rev. Jessie Jackson the 2nd-time he ran for the Democratic presidential nomination. First time around, I'd say we all voted for him 'cause he was Black, but on the 2nd-time around we were looking for a "qualified" black candidate and Jessie wasn't it.

At one time salvery was favored by Americans. WTF does a poll have to do with the price of tea from China?

Obviously you don't get that the poll proves that it's not just conservatives that think the mosque is wrong as you stated earlier.

From the Obama website,
Obama wants to bring people together and end the divisiveness.

So then going against the will of the people he has done that, brought people together to oppose his policies.

Keep going after Bush while ignoring the Obama rhetoric. I probably would too if left to defend this empty suit.

Alvada King, is going. She is giving a tribute to her uncle.
She believes in her uncle's dream. She will be standing with her friend, Glenn Beck.
Do you say shame on her? What do you think MLK would think?

Don't know about MLK, but this poster is wondering how much she is getting paid to stand next to Beck.
