Thread: Is Glenn Beck's August 28th rally political?

Is Glenn Beck political or not?

Glenn Beck says there’s nothing political about the Aug. 28th rally in Washington he’s organizing with a veterans group and which he has named “Restoring Honor.”

But Sarah Palin will be a main speaker, congressmen such as Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) are helping with fundraising and two of the main engineers of the tea party movement – FreedomWorks and Tea Party Patriots – are offering volunteers as well as logistical advice.

If anything, the conservative talk show host’s alliances with tea party groups and Republican politicians seem to have further blurred the line between his entertainment empire and a burgeoning political role, despite his public declarations that he was disengaging from politics after criticism that he was using his television and radio shows as a political platform.

Dutch, think there will be any lynching or shooting of Dems at the rally?

This megalomaniacal twit actually thinks his brainless NeoMcCarthyist revisionist regressive drivel could have "similar significance" to MLK's I have a dream speech.

That is precious.

I soooo wished I could have answered to the last question.
"Who is Glenn Beck?"

Glenn Beck and most of the Fox News staff seem very political and very conservative. Is there anything wrong with them doing this?

Yes it is Political.......very political. My only question is.........will he start crying and shedding tears so that he can show just how much he loves his country...........yet never served! Notice how Romney and him are playing to the base. That the Gop base will only play along as long as they continue to spout off about Christian Morality, and of course that they are Conservative, and yes blame president Obama for all the policies that are in effect from the last 2 administrations.

As for Fox News and most being conservative........why because they say they are! Nothing new about some self described individual stating they are conservative. Now Fred Barnes of the Wall Street Journal<<<<<<<here is Fox's true Conservative.

Althought one must hand it to Fox.............their marketing strategy by placing very good looking women thru-out their viewing public. Most do not even care what half of them say........and are quite content to watch them argue with whoever they put on their show. Because truthfully drama sells.

This is where I say President Obama's message of change comes into play as well. For the World of Media is what influences many in this country as well as our younger generations, When you have the entire World of Media saying this is the way it is......this is politics.......this what one must do,be and act, then I think it is time to bring transparency to this Industry. Time to tell them quit telling our children this. Quit telling us this because we no longer accept the way you do buisness or attempt to teach so.

Time for the World of Media........to be brought back down on their knees and humbled before the entire Country. Time to know how they vote, who they back, what immoral shit that they are into. Time to reframe and re-define...............what is note worthy news. That we will not allow them to speak for politicians and parties. Time for them to be highlighted in front of the entire Country and their very own peers.
