jclalor 12 #1 August 28, 2010 The almighty God, speaking thru his choosen one Glen Beck, will fundamental change the US today. I am on the edge of my seat. NBC, msnbc.com and news services updated 2 hours 48 minutes ago Share Print Font: + - Glenn Beck promised his Restoring Honor rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. Saturday would fundamentally transform the U.S., sounding a deeply religious note in advance of the controversial event. Some 100,000 conservative, tea party supporters — including potential 2012 presidential candidate Sarah Palin — are expected at the demonstration on the same spot where Martin Luther King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech 47 years ago to the day. Beck, a Fox News personality and a conservative favorite, has insisted it is just a coincidence that the rally is being held on the anniversary, but the event has drawn criticism from modern day civil rights leaders. And a conservative blog about the event, which suggested some areas of Washington were unsafe and said the city was populated by refugees, led to accusations of racism . Beck and other organizers say the aim of the rally is to pay tribute to America's military personnel and others "who embody our nation's founding principles of integrity, truth and honor." The broadcaster toured the site Friday as supporters cheered. Speaking at an event at the Kennedy Center Friday night, Beck emphasized the religious aspect of his message, The Washington Post reported. "We are 12 hours away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America," Beck said, according to the Post. "It has nothing to do with this city or politics. It has everything to do with God almighty." "This is the beginning of the great awakening of America ... We must give voice to what God says we must do," he added. "My message to you tonight is stand where He wants you to stand and trust in the Lord. If He tells you to do it, do it. If you can't figure it out, He will. Just do it."

lawrocket 3 #2 August 28, 2010 Quotebut the event has drawn criticism from modern day civil rights leaders It's fascinating that exercise of free speech draws criticisms from "civil rights leaders." How Republican of them... So the guy's going to speak about God. Freedom of Speech and Religion? He's also going to speak at a place on the anniversary of the date when MLK, Jr. spoke. How dare he speak about religion on the anniversary of when Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke. I personally think that it's pretty funny when it's a big huge event to be speaking in front of 100k people when his damned radio show reaches way more than that. And this will change America? It's a bit arrogant for him to think that. Yet, there seems to be concern among many that he might actually do it so they object to the time, place and content because they are "civil rights leaders." Pass the tylenol.

Well, its good to see Religion back to being used for its intended purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jclalor 12 #5 August 28, 2010 Just found out that Glen beck is a Mormon, what a nut. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USpeolBTKIo Rather ironic that he belongs to a church that just 35 years ago refused to let blacks in the church, and only changed the rules after the church president claimed that God spoke to him.

quade 4 #6 August 28, 2010 QuoteI personally think that it's pretty funny when it's a big huge event to be speaking in front of 100k people when his damned radio show reaches way more than that. He talks on FoxNews every day. Generally speaking he's seen as a nutcase by the media and they can ignore anything he has to say. Well, except Stewart to make fun of him and Olberman to rebut. So, very few people outside the people that watch him or the people that make fun of him know anything about him and he almost never makes the headlines. This is different. He's concocted a photographable event, on a historic site, on the anniversary of another historic event. Pretty much forcing the rest of the media to at least take a picture and put it on TV. Events like this are NEVER about the paltry number of people that may happen to see it live. It's ALWAYS about the larger media coverage; ALWAYS. And I rarely speak in absolutes. As I type this, he's the headline on CNN.com. How often does that happen? It's not about whoever is showing up at the reflecting pool. It's about whoever he can get to cover him that normally wouldn't.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #10 August 28, 2010 Well, I just checked the CNN page and for a media outlet that is supposedly controlled by the "liberal left", they're being awfully kind to this event. As a cross check, I'm also looking at BBC and they're taking a slightly different tack. It's interesting to see the different estimates of crowd sizes. Beck himself seems to indicate north of 200,000 while the BBC is says "tens of thousands."quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
