Showdown in Washington, D.C.

Beck has said the rally will be "non-political." But with an appearance by Sarah Palin as the event's headliner, politics are likely to play some part.

Why even make this claim?

Does Glenn Beck claim to be fair and balanced?

What about this rally is outright attempt to flip the imagery of Dr. King?

Glenn Beck has every right to have the rally and Sharpton and others have the right to say what they feel . I would be concerned about this

The New Black Panther Party's Malik Zulu Shabazz has warned that Beck's group will be met with "direct opposition" from his group.

I think this is why Palin quit as Govenor. So she can command high fees as a speaker.
I doubt she is doing it for free.

The rally hasn't been held yet, how do you know it is a blatant lie. Although I didn't disagree with the statement that it would probably be political.
 
I wonder haw Beck reacted when he learned of King's socialism and radical associations...

I'm betting the event will end up as all hot air, or he will set up unfalsifiable goals right out of the gates.

I'm betting that he will imply that he's fighting against getting shut down, and then when it doesn't happen, (because no one with any real power is trying to shut it down) he'll proclaim victory and tie Obama to it.

err...maybe the agenda for the rally is already set?

And does the agenda make what he says a blatant lie.

Here is one request
• NO signs (political or otherwise) as they may deter from the peaceful message we are bringing to Washington.

I am wondering if you have any examples of what you mean by that.


I am betting that many good things will be said there and there will also be some hot air.

Uh, because everything Beck has ever done has been over-the-top, all out, 24/7 Republican propaganda intended to hurt Democrats?

What you're suggesting is akin to giving Andrew Breitbart's newest video the benefit of the doubt because this time it might not be doctored.

When Bill O'Reilly told Glen Beck that Sarah Palin is political

BECK: Sarah Palin is. But you know what Sarah Palin's role is? To introduce the heroes of the military. She's doing a small part at the very beginning that is just introducing the heroes as a mother. Not a candidate. Not as a politician.

If I told you my parents were human-reptile-alien hybrids, that I have been abducted by aliens since childhood, and the reptile-alien invasion begins next Thursday, would you believe that too?

Oh, you know, stuff about improving the character of America, followed by anecdotes of good people on his TV show. Dull stuff.

His secrecy about what will be said makes me think it will be the overarching, pointless talk about changing the nation's character.
