So, you believe that Glenn Beck picked this date and locale to pay homage to Martin Luther King, Jr? Has he mentioned Martin Luther King, Jr. in any of his comments about this event?

You seem to know everything that Glenn Beck has said so why would you need to ask?

Of course he has. He talks about him all the time. He was a part of the 9.12 poster. He was a fabulous man whose message should continue to be heard and followed.

Why isn't he part of the 8/28 poster, given that this event is mirroring the 1963 March on Washington? Your naivete is sweet, Mellie.
 
Do you understand the whole point of polling?

Give it up. Unless you want to be part of the poll question "Are you pregnant?" If the poll question doesn't concern you, you do not answer it. You're just arguing for the sake of arguing. If you want to talk about the topic, please do. If you want to talk about how to make polls, go make your own thread. Thanks!

Actually, "No, I am a Man" is a legitimate response to such a question.
 
The Good Reverend sends his regrets that he will not be able to attend this whatever it is.
 
FYI - here's the site where celebrities have donated to raise money for this event and SOWF. Ellen DeGeneres....impressive!

I thought it was interesting that Beck used "are you going to be part of the problem, or part of the solution". This is obviously borrowed from the Black Panther's: "if you're not part of the solution, you must be part of the problem". Other than that, I didn't find anything interesting about restoring honor to the country.

There are two types of people. Those that will lie, cheat, and steal, and those that won't. We just need to elect politicians from the latter group. Problem solved.
 
Absolutely. We should all be following the ideas of Martin Luther King, Jr. Don't you agree?

I don't think this phony should be exploiting Dr. King's famous speech. BTW, did you know the conservatives of the day called MLK Jr. a Communist? Isn't that what he calls President Obama among other things?
 
Nope. I'll have more important things to do.

I sure don't know a single conservative who says MLK was a communist.
Also, I've never heard Glenn come right out and say Obama is a communist.
However Obama does have several Communist associations.
His own father

His mentor from age 10 Frank Marshall Davis
Van Jones, self avowed Communist
William Ayers
For starters

Allegations of Communist connections

It was a right winger that came up with that claim and attacked Hannity for that. Don't talk about stuff you know nothing about, it makes you look silly.

Sean Hannity’s Freedom CONcert Scam: Almost None of Charity’s $ Went to Injured Troops, Kids of Fallen Troops; G5s for Vannity?
Sorry I was having trouble with this link and couldn't load the whole thing. Who is this right winger? What I was able to see was a left winger claiming he was contacted by a well known rightwing or something like that.

Debbie Schlussel hannity - Google Search

It's the first link on this google search. This whole thing was brought up by Debbie Schlussel, a far right winger. Many left wingers talked about her accusation, as you would expect them to do when one far right person attacks another far right person or vice-versa, but they didn't make up the story. To give you an idea, google her name, the second link is a link to her web page with an article titled "Barack Hussein Obama: Once a Muslim, Always A Muslim". Hardly a lefty if you ask me.

Yes, I knew that. Yes, he does.

Has Glenn said MLKj was a Communist? Was he?

At least one of his lieutenants, Hunter Pitts O'Dell, had been a member of the Communist party.
 
That wasn't the question.

Well if it is good enough to convict Obama for an association Why isn't it good enough to convict MLK for an association? Or is Beck just an opportunistic inconsistent sleaze ball?

No, Beck uses Obama's words and actions to form his opinions as well as who he praises and is friends with.

So....was MLKj a Communist? Not what does Beck think...what do YOU think?

Close, but not quite right. Beck has his own opinions, and looks for Obama's words that fit that opinion. It's a subtle but important difference.
