Showdown in Washington, D.C.

Now this is funny. The people who don't want Glenn Beck to hold his rally are the same people defending the Muslims rights on the GZ Mosque. You want the Muslims to have 1st amendment rights, but you want to deny 1st amendment rights to Glenn Beck. Interesting.

Yes but I think only Lefty is suggesting that. That probably doesn't count.

I wouldn't try to deny anyone their first amendment rights. I don't find the statement that the event will be "non-political" very believeable.

Beck is nuts and wants the rest of the country to follow him down the rabbit hole. Neither the first nor second protect armed lunatics.

Nor should rational people let the scuzbags claim the mantle of a grown-up like Dr. King.

Yes, it does. Lunatics have 1st amendment rights. they probably have 2d amendment rights too, unless their brand of lunacy makes it likely that they will shoot themselves or others with that gun without justification.

As far as I can tell, Beck's lunacy is of a different sort.

When it is the ideas of a living rectum leading a bunch of incompetant fools, yes. Though, it might be seen as a vague proof of god if the ground opened up and swallowed them.:):):)
 
I would like to know why Glen Beck doesn’t know Martin Luther King was a communist?

Right, MLK is a real role model.
 
I say let Beck do what he wants, whenever he wants, as long as its legal.

Beck will self-destruct in spectacular fashion sometime in the near future. The more free rein he is given, the more far right celebrities he will pull down with him when America realizes just what a nut bag he is. Hopefully whats left over will be sensible conservatives who actually have the best interests of the country at heart.

One can dream.

I have absolutely no interest in MLK's personal life, or details about whether or not he was a human being with human failings.

My statement related to the man's impact on society, his public stance and the manner in which he went about leading the civil rights movement. If all these nitwits today - such as Al Sharpton - had half the character that MLK brought to his leadership, we would all be in a better place.

MLK could have had an unnatural lust for pickles and cucumbers - don't care, not relevant to the conversation at hand.

Perhaps the real issue here is that we know he had leftist views, but the greater issue of equality among people, regardless of race, creed, color, religion, sexual orientation, or anything else, transcended all politics, because it was far more important than anything else.

Either that, or maybe that was knowledge kept from Beck because of Da Jooz.

Something to consider:



What has been said of Sarah Palin can easily be said of Beck, whose knowledge of the Founding Fathers has some serious gaps, the vast majority of which are intentional.

Glen Beck has no clue what King stood for, or how he planned on achieving it. And while the core ideals behind his speeches and politics were sound -- the notion that we're all equal under the law -- there were some serious difficulties most people had with how he planned to get us to this grand, harmonious utopia of racial/social "justice."

The whole idea has a very ambiguous feel to it in the hands of those who claim to uphold King's legacy, but in the hands of Beck, I find myself thinking it needs a good pressure wash with lots of soap. Glen Beck has been losing advertisers for good reason, not the least of which is his slimy association with a gold trader as well as his racist bleats about Obama. The man simply needs to shut his pie hole.

But, that's not the way to go when you're making your money off the clods who think Sarah Palin ought to be in the Oval Office, and that Dr. Dino got railroaded. (Never mind the evidence!) It's a repellent situation, and not a surprising one from a guy who maybe gets it right about as often as a stopped clock, assuming it stopped in 1928.

I can't stand Beck. Most of the people I know who listen to him do so because he's on the same radio stations as Rush Limbaugh. The man makes George Lincoln Rockwell look rational. It would be tolerable if he could only admit to his own ignorance on certain subjects, and learn from his mistakes. That's not going to happen, and in the end, he's going to look more and more like an irrational boob, and once the Republicans have a majority in Congress, we'll have the very Boobocracy he seems to want.

It's going to be interesting to see how he talks his way out of the wreckage that's going to result from having the same sort of "conservatives" running things that took over in 1994. Not one of these people is truly conservative: they're opportunistic money thugs, and not worth the vote.

(I think I need meds. I'm starting to sound like LeftySergeant. Either that, or he's right.)
