Glenn Beck takes on Washington

[Ozmar]

There's something audacious about a movement nourished by anger toward Washington pouring into the nation's capital to drench itself in the city's iconography, but Glenn Beck isn't much for subtle gestures. On Saturday, Aug. 28, the high prophet of conservative populism will headline a rally he's cast as an "iconic event" that may be remembered as "a new generation's defining moment." It may not live up to that lofty billing, but the Restoring Honor rally will showcase the energy coursing through the conservative movement just weeks before the Republican Party tries to topple Democratic majorities in the House and Senate. Capital authorities estimate that a crowd of perhaps more than 100,000 people will pack the National Mall to hear Beck and Sarah Palin, the brightest stars in the conservative firmament, deliver keynote speeches.

There's something refreshing about a hack like Glenn Beck holding a rally at the Lincoln Memorial. For all the people who say that Sarah Palin lacks credibility, there is something very heartening about the prospect of her and Beck speaking at a rally together. Because Beck is such a credible and level headed individual, this should indeed say it all about Sarah Palin and her future presidential aspirations.

God Speed!

You mean another person who can't freaking use the search button and find the other 400 threads on this subject before splashing up another one?

I have a challenge for you...walk around the place with a Che shirt and see if you get any comments.

Wish I was there. Sounds like a great time. At least it will be more meaningful and honest than anything the idiot libs have ever done.

I think if Fox News uses superimposed images, they can make 9,000 people look like a million people. They can even airbrush over the open grass to make it look impressive. I wait in suspense for how this pans out.

They were caught using footage of other rallies in the past. It was easy to figure out by the foliage on the trees, for one thing.
