People often do good for selfish reasons. Sure he helped some children, but he is also helping himself.

Let's just say this is true.(it's not)
Better no children benefit if Beck happens to be helping himself too.

The children benefitting is partially how Beck profits from this. It increases his fame, adds to the controversy he feeds off for his ratings, which is good for his job. The children benefitting just gives people more to argue about.

Gotcha- if Glenn profits in any way, to hell with the kids.
Sounds like liberal reasoning.

I don't get why you keep saying stuff like "to hell with the kids"

I keep trying to tell you, its not one or the other.
 
Do you all judge all charitable people's hearts or just the ones you personally dislike?

Probably all of them. Some people I think are honest, so I give them the benefit of the doubt. Some not, so I do not. This is something that everyone does, unless they are incredibly naive.
 
I'm curious as to why a rally honoring our military personnel is called "restoring" honor. Does Beck believe that our military forces have somehow misplaced their honor under a rock in Afghanistan?
Couldn't say. Why does Sharpton think we need to "reclaim" the dream. Did we lose it somewhere?



Rev. Al Sharpton & National Action Network (NAN), along with civil rights leaders, clergy and progressive activist are to hold the "Reclaim the Dream Rally" and March on August 28, 2010 Martin Luther King, III, Ed Schultz, Marc Morial (NUL), Ben Jealous
 
Has Al Sharpton said he's calling his march "Reclaiming the Dream"? That implies that someone stole it.....

In all honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Al Sharpton is mad that a white guy organized a rally on the anniversary of the "Dream" speech as if only black people "own" that speech. I wonder if he realizes that his (Al's) beliefs (if I'm right about him) are the antithesis to the Dream....

Oh...he's not one bit happy about Glenn's rally.
He thinks social justice is what MLK was all about and Glenn Beck is trying to pervert that message.
Yes I do think he has a big problem with a white guy having a rally on that day.
Guess he doesn't know as much as he thinks about MLK.

Media still yappin' falsely about the rally and no mention of MLK's niece or that it's also a charity.
I can't wait until it's over to see if they say anything or just ignore it.
 
I'm reading Martin's Big Words to my kiddos today. Gives me chills everytime.
 
Well, Catz, I would say to listen (it's being broadcast on radio stations all over the country) and decide for yourself. You can also go to Glenn Beck Program and search for "restoring honor" and you'll get many links to the radio show where Glenn spoke about the rally. That might help you understand.

I'm more interested in having you actually answer the question, if you can.

Sharpton and Beck are about equally relevant and credible.

I'm a teacher. I don't give out the answers, but I will give you the knowledge you need to seek out the answer on your own.

Yeah, well I'm not your student, and you're the one beating the drum for this event. You put yourself in the position of voluntary spokesperson. SO, feel free to explain the event to us, if you can.

I'm sorry. I've explained it several times. If you really are truly interested, you'll do what anyone does who's truly interested and seek out the information on your own. If you're not willing to, then you must not really be genuinely seeking that knowledge or you're just too lazy.

Wrong. When have you explained the concept of "Restoring Honor" to the U.S. military? Please, feel free to link the post. YOu've dodged this question every time I've asked it, and I've asked it several times.

I'm not going to be bullied by a mod on this board, Catz. I gave you the information you need to find the answer. If you don't want to find the answer, fine. I'm not going to spoon-feed you everything. I know you're not really open-minded to what this event really is, so I'm not wasting my time with you anymore.

I'm not a mod, Mellie. And if you're really all that familiar with this event, I'm shocked that you can't explain something so simple.
 
Either online or in person, will you be speaking out against this rally. Please explain why or why not. (Obviously if you don't care either way you won't vote.)

Restoring Honor - 8.28.10

Is it true Sarah Palin will be there?

So, when they're done disgracing the memories of two great men (MLK, Lincoln) they're going to allow her to shrill voice to be heard...

Super-Duper!

After she speaks, will they channel the spirit of Joseph McCarthy??

Palin will be there to show gratitude for her son Track and our military.
Avada King will be there to pay tribute to her Uncle.
We don't know who else will be there.
I do know there will be talk of God and there will be many people of different religions, uniting and praying together.
It's already happening there and the rally doesn't start until tomorrow.
If you call that disgracing the memories of Lincoln and MLK
then we have different definitions of what is disgraceful.
I see you've been channeling Saul Alinsky, although I don't know why you think Glennn Beck is you're enemy.
 
By the way, the opening event is tonight at the Kennedy Center in D.C. There will be leaders of all faiths there. It's streaming live on Inside Exteme on Glenn's website if you're interested in watching. It starts at 7 p.m. CST.

I believe CSPAN is covering the Restoring Honor event tomorrow as well as radio stations all over the country. It will also be live on the Restoring Honor Facebook page. The event begins Saturday at 9 a.m. CST.
