Restoring Honor Rally

[Ava]

Looks truly fair and balanced to me.

Except that Becks' was around 100,000

and Sharpton's was around 3,000

Fair or misrepresentation. Both technically accurate but clearly written with a biased slant.

Who has come out with an estimate of Sharpton's rally?

Beck served in the military? Palin?

is this a prerequisite? have you? combat vet.?

Obama sent 30,000 men to afghan. I guess it time to trot out that lame 'send the bush' daughters crack.....wanna smoke it?

More Right wing armchair warrior hoopla.
Using others military service for their own political purposes.

yes contributing to their fund is certainly using them...

and he specifically asked for folks not to bring political signage etc. but don't let facts get in the way.

Sharpton doesn't have a daily TV show from which to promote his events.

why not?

maggi, that clip was a minute and a half and was cut what? around 6 or 7 times? Nice contextual basis you have there. typical of the left though.

Which clip? You can find any of them all over the YouTube network. If I chose one that was clips of clips, my bad. Find others yourself.

That said, for any of you people to claim that Beck is suddenly this warm and wonderful uniter, all I can say is YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!

There is ample proof that he is anything but. The irony is, if he suddenly HAD become such a person, you would be dis'ing him and calling him a rino, an appeaser, and all those other choice nicknames you love when anyone with a hint of COMPROMISE in their bones becomes unacceptable to you JUST-SAY-NO UNAmericans who would rather see this country go down in flames than offer to be a part of the solution.

You actually see the principles of 'integrity, truth and honor' as high on the priority list of any of our politicians? I sure as hell don't. I see very little of these three qualities generally in the US.... in fact, my impression is that, to many on the left, they're a joke.

As always, it depends on the politician in question and each citizens interpretation of those principles. I just attended the National Boy Scout Jamboree this summer with 45,000 Boy Scouts, so yeah, I do see many examples of integrity, truth and honor all around me. I don't see anything that needs to be restored.....just nutured and continued.

excellent, I am glad you enjoyed it and as the honorary president of the Boy Scouts, Obamas speech there was boffo...oh wait...

why not?

Because there aren't enough people who agree with him to fund it.

He's a fringer. Funny that we get called that, but obviously we represent the majority.

 

[Trajan]

from NBC no less-


reports crowd estimate from Parks service is 300K-325K.

Twitter / Chuck Todd: Colleague @DomenicoNBC is ...

becks organizers estimated 500-550K...since the last march on Washington was of course low balled as well, AP did their usual, who knows, I'll take a 'Million Man march' pass and go with the Becks org. number splitting the difference at 425k.

No, it must be because there's a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy controlling MSNBC.

Sharpton himself said "they" would say there was only 2-3000 at his rally.

Which tells me that's probably the number he came to, since he was trying to discredit it during the rally itself.

Kinda funny.

Out of sheer kindness and an attempt at unity, I'm so sure. Asking people to leaving their ugly signage at home couldn't possibly have anything to do with this, eh?

The foundation's sponsorship of the rally helps explain Beck's description of the event as "nonpolitical" and his decision not to include elected officials in the program; IRS regulations prohibit nonprofits from sponsoring political events.

I'll pass on the invitation to reach up your ass and look for more of your shit on the basis that I don't want to be responsible for damaging your already addled brain.

Plus, it's gross.

I hope you're not holding your breath waiting for a logical response.....

You want ONE source? No wonder you don't get it.

one is more than zero, which is what you are showing everyone here.

Here's a couple of more recent examples. However, I do find it intriguing that you people can't seem to provide any useful information that would prove me wrong:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC-ZJjFf4Yk&feature=related]YouTube - Glenn Beck Mocks Pres. Obama's Daughter (Entire Radio Segment)[/ame]

THIS is integrity?
THIS is returning to God?
THIS is returning to traditional values?
THIS is what will bring people together?​

Perhaps he did apologize (of course he had no other choice), but the damage had already been done.

And of course some of his lies continued even as he attempted to rally the troops to attend his bogus let's-all-come-together rally:

"The government is trying to now close the Lincoln Memorial for any kind of large gatherings," Beck said. "This may be the last large gathering ever to assemble at the Lincoln Memorial. Historic, historic."

"They (critics) have gone on to say that this is a slap in the face of Abraham Lincoln," Beck said. "Okay. So, I don't have a right -- I don't have a right to speak my mind and this -- I told you, the reason why 8-28 is -- one reason why it's historic is because it may be the last time anyone is allowed to hold a rally at 8-28, and they will -- they will couch that in, it's too sacred of a spot."

"There is absolutely no attempt by the government to restrict gatherings at the Lincoln Memorial or at any of our sites," said Margie Ortiz, a National Park Service spokeswoman. "There is zero basis for his claim."

The National Park Service issues about 3,000 permits a year for Lafayette Park, the White House sidewalks, as well as other park sites in the Capital area, including the Lincoln Memorial. About 60 percent of them are for "First Amendment Activity," Ortiz said.

ROFLMAO! Thanks for reminding me of such a great needling of the messiah for trying to pull a feel-good fast one on the public! I remember laughing so hard I damn near drove off the road I teared up so bad. Ohhh... marvelous to relive this comedy gem.

Listen here, puddin.

You keep taking the moral high road on this. That strong backlighting makes you an awesome target. You wanna play Rules for Radicals, you get to haul your gingerbread ass up to perfection first. This criticism of using his own damn children to push public opinion and get cheap 'awww isn't she enlightened' cred, you deserve this shit done to you.

Daddy? Did you pwug teh hwole?

Beck's been doing this shit for years, and you know what? There's biblical precedent too if you wanna try and say he's not being holy enough to do what he's doing: "The devil cannot abide being mocked."

Thanks for proving that point. Christians aren't perfect, but thanks to Christ, they ARE forgiven, and you have no say over who is doing God's desire and who isn't. Then again, God haters never are.

They've been alerted. That's them... frantically running away.

First, I think there were much more than 100,000 at the Restoring Honor Rally. But heck, what do I know, I was in the middle of the crowd.

Second, I think way too many people on both sides of the aisle have completely missed the point of the rally. Which is rather sad.
