I'll reserve my judgments until it happens, but I doubt it will be anything more than a glorified anti Obama/Dems rally.

I appreciate you not being prejudice simply because it's Glenn Beck. I think you'll be surprised. :)

Glenn Beck's 'Restoring Honor' Rally Denounced By Civil Rights Leaders
Click to expand...

i like what you linked to.

Social activists and civil rights leaders, among them the Rev. Al Sharpton, are planning marches and demonstrations -- including the unveiling of a nearly four-story-tall original sculpture on the Mall -- on Aug. 28 to coincide with a rally organized by Fox News personality Glenn Beck.

no mention of the fact that the marches they plan are for MLK's "i have a dream" speech, and that's why they're denouncing it, it has nothing to do with Beck as a person, or his politics, just the date he chose for his rally.
 
Is this event still happening? there has been zero coverage of it. I suspect that most of us simply don't care what shennanigans Glenn and Sarah get up to.

I'm willing to bet that it won't be about politics at all. :)

I'll take that bet, Mellie. If there is zero Democratic party/obama bashing by Glenn and Sarah, I'll let you choose my avatar for a month. And if a single negative thing is said about the rival party and president, you'll let me choose yours.

Are you game?

Considering the sheer number of demonstrations for one cause or another in DC, I don't see why there should be any more than the usual amount of coverage, which is often very little.
 
"Honor" and "Glenn Beck" do not even remotely belong in the same sentence.
 
Mellie said:
I find it amusing that people are planning on protesting it when they have absolutely no idea what's going to happen there. They're all insisting that it's going to be political "hate speech". I guess honoring our troops is hate speech. *shrug*

Given that this another steaming pile from the Beckerhead Teabagger crowd, there will, without any doubt, more political hate speech than anything else. That asshat is the embodiment political hate speech. Virtually everything that assclown does in public oozes political hate speech. Political hate speech is the lifeblood of him and the entire Teabagger mindset.

Hmmmm......we're talking about the people onstage right? If someone starts talking politics from the stage, you may choose my avatar.

Why is it wrong to have this rally on the anniversary of MLK's speech? Dr. Alveda King is going to be speaking, ya know...

i'm not saying it's wrong, i don't give a ****, freedom of assembly and all, but it's kinda obvious that Beck chose this specifically 'cause he knew it would cause controversy, it's how he makes his money.

He's making money off of this? He's actually paying for a lot of it himself..... How much does it cost to rent the Kennedy Center for one night? Also he said last night that he wrote a check for $10,000 for food for everyone in the crew.

Yes, we're only talking about the featured speakers, not attendees.

not off the event specifically, but look at all the attention he's getting from it, the publicity alone will make him more money.

Who are the featured speakers? We need an impartial judge. Would Tashah suffice?

I don't know who all the speakers are. No one does. Tashah is fine.
 
Mellie: Here are the advertised speakers...

The speakers include representatives from SOWF, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Dr. Alveda King and Marcus Luttrell. Jo Dee Messina will be performing as well.

So what?? Good grief. You honestly think he's only doing this out of greed?? OY.
 
Catz, so just Glenn and Sarah or all the speakers?
 
spud_meister said:
no, he's doing it to **** stir, the money is just a bonus.

Huh? What do you think he's stirring up? Honor for our military? Whoa....how terrible of him.
