Glenn Beck rally will be a measure of the tea party's strength

Re: Still waiting....

Well, you're sorta right. She's part of a group called Project Prevention that gives $200 dollars to drug addicts if they volunteer to use long term birth control, or to be sterilized. It's creepy, to say the least, but I don't get how Project prevention is, "targetting black and minority women". Unless, of course, you're making the claim that all drug addicts are minority females.
When Project Prevention puts up billboards that say "Don't let pregnancy get in the way of your crack habit" only in minority neighborhoods then that would suggest that they are the ones claiming that all drug addicts are minority females. And Project Preventions founder, Barbara Harris calling them "dogs in heat" and Schellingers inflammatory rhetoric using the "N" word would seem to validate your fallacious logic that all conservatives support eugenics and are therefore Nazi's.
 
Was you posting for me to reply or filmfestguy?

If it was me please point out anywhere in this thread that is have been against this rally.The dots that i have connected seems to point at a nudge by Fox/newscorps and the obvious bias of Fox for the republican party.

My apologies, DonC

If there was a "nudge" by Fox/newscorps, where is the problem?

Do you feel the rest of the media, apart from Fox News, is unbiased?

You must be beside yourself with outrage that Planned Parenthood only builds abortion clinics near minority neighborhoods.
 
We're being told that this had nothing to do with politics, but yet, the thread is titled:

Glenn Beck rally will be a measure of the tea party's strength

Doesn't that imply that at least the OP thought that this was political in nature?

If it's apolitical in nature, why weren't speakers of varying political stripes invited?

Excellent point!

Glenn and the Beckians crapping on the memory of great men has everything to do with politics.

It's callled bandwagon propaganda--trying to associate yourself with an already accepted movement and/or idea. Beck was trying to associate the Teabrains with the Civil Rights Movement... but, alas, it was painfully obvious and despicable, so he changed his tone and quickly made up a new stated 'purpose' for the event.


'Restoring Honor' wtf is that? Meaningless drivel.
 
Conservative
Well, wouldn't you think that Fox News who you claim gave over a million dollars to the Tea Party would have protected their investment by covering the Rally?

I didn’t say it was for the tea party. It was for the republican governors association.


Doesn't appear to be the bias that you and others seem to believe.

Maybe, maybe not. It could be a lamea** attempt at getting the nutters pissed off and getting out the vote.Thats what the Conservatives are good at. Not any ideas, just keep the pot boiling and keep the base brainwashed and uninformed.

Re: Still waiting....

How do you come up with this stuff. The list of PP centers in Michigan: Find a Health Center - Planned Parenthood(may not show as michigan, may have to select it from dropdown)

I see several that I know where they are located about, and are not in minority centers, and one in my hometown, which does not even have a minority neighborhood(and downtown is not it, it's not residential at all....for the 4 blocks that downtown is made up of).

Oh, I think the results of this Adminstration will get the "nutters" out to vote and it won't take union thugs to pick people up and take them to the polls. Seems the only brainwashed people are the ones that ignore the actual results

Gee... Who wrote that op?

Could it be those conservative icons at the Washington Post? lmmfao
 
Re: Still waiting....

He's not.

The rally was a call for American's to band together to restore honor. We are a nation founded by the belief that we are all guided by a higher power, which is something that our leaders are no longer following. It's up to us, the people, to return to those beliefs and demand our leaders live by them, because time is running out.

Respond if you like, but I won't argue the point with you.

Freedom is not given to us by government, it's given to us by God.
Totally a figment of your imagination, the founders were for the most part Deists and didn't believe in a higher power. They knew their English roots and wanted to make a "more perfect union" as expressed in the Preamble of our Constitution.

And near college campuses, which everyone knows to be stomping grounds for large groups of poor minorities.

Oh, wait a minute. :doh

Another lie and or example of how ill-informed you are.

Find a Health Center - Planned Parenthood

From my original homestate above:

Avon, Bedford, Bloomington, Columbus - all predominantly white cities with very small minority populations and no "minority neighborhoods".

Further down the list: Castleton (one of the richest, predominantly white neighborhoods of Indianapolis).

So, once again - either you're lying or ill-informed. I'll let the crowd decide.

Keep it up and you'll qualify for a Maggie. I'm sure you'll display it proudly for all to see. Right next to your autographed photo of Alger Hiss. :rofl

Yeah, I was going to mention the East Lansing one, tucked in right by the MSU campus, but I forgot.

Yeah, all the Creator Talk, was just to get the yolkels to agree the idea!

Well done. Not only did you not address anything I wrote, but you managed to drag the tone in this down even more. Good job.

Is that what they taught you in the Oregon Schools? Have you read the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution, and other documents from the Founders? Our Money has "In God we Trust", Federal Buildings invoke God, The Pledge has Under God, and so on, Look, you don't believe in a higher power, so be it, but that puts you in the minority on this issue just like most others.
 
If Sharpton and Beck were smart, they would've gotten together before the rallies and exchanged, say, a thousand of Sharpton's blacks for a thousand of Beck's whites.
Would've made em both look better, and derailed these "token" arguments.

That would have been great, Except Sharptons rally would have come out looking pretty white.

Sharpton seems to be all about division, not unity. At least half his speakers bashed Glenn, the rally, the tea party or all three.
Sharpton was especially hateful, more so than normal.
Rather sad they feel that way, but their speakers were from SEIU, NAACP and the Congress so what can we expect.

Barb...Beck is never going to be known as a uniter. He is at least as divisive as Sharpton, probably more since he has more coverage.

If there was a "nudge" by Fox/newscorps, where is the problem?

When you have the parent company ponying up $1 mill to a political party, and one of their biggest political commentators starts a rally,in the nations capitol, two months before a midterm election to me, it starts smelling like spoiled fish.


Do you feel the rest of the media, apart from Fox News, is unbiased?

MSNSBC has political commentators that have a liberal bias (unlike fox,they have a token winger;))…but as of yet they haven’t started a rally in the nations capitol...HHmm….statue of liberty?? :2wave:

I'm amazed at your ability to think that you think you have any credibility, considering you've had everything - and I mean EVERYTHING - I've read that you've written today has been proven to be untrue.

Obviously you didn't know that nearly 80% of PPH's clinics are located in, or near minority neighborhoods. Whose lying and uninformed?

___

Further, if it's apolitical in nature, why are there already fights about the numbers in attendance? If it were apolitical, then I'd think the size of the crowd would be irrelevant.

There were varying political stripes there, but it wasn't about politics so wasn't discussed.
One speaker campaigned for Obama and is a Dem.
