Glen Beck at Mall

[Rich Weese]

How cool about last weekend. Somewhere around 100,000 people (or 200K, or 300K or 50K) Showed up for a rally. Non political, non denominational and people found their OWN transportation. What a concept.
Even a MLK relative spoke as well as other leaders. Do you know of ANYONE that could draw that kind of crowd other than Beck, without busing them in?
Man, there sure are a lot of wackos that listen to Beck and read his books. I suggest Arguing with Idiots by Beck. Well documented and footnoted and no attacks about his "facts" in that book as far as I know. Learn the truth about education, healthcare, unions, dorders etc. Pretty cool for anyone that wants to actually read something that is well footnoted, unlike the teleprompter chats by the pres.
Attack the messenger. Can't run on unemployment reduction, economy progress, success in Iraq(Bush and Petraus get credit for Iraq) health care passage, border restoration, cap& trade etc. New projections are dems lose 48-70 seats in House, 8-9 in Senate and 9 govs. How fun would that be! Back to the old stalemate till 2012 when maybe we elect a businessman. Rich

What the heck is this thread even about? I thought it was supposed to be about Beck's rally of idiots.

Beck is a blathering moron and I never have understood how people can even take him seriously. In the few minutes I have watched his show I have felt dumber from the experience.

Beck is a performer and is capitalizing on the anger out there right now. Nothing more and nothing less...

From the other parts of this post I would have the following comments:

1. Those that attack education generally never attended and/or couldn't hack it. They then try to tell everyone how worthless it is because of their shortcomings

2. It is always entertaining to me that the people that can barely form complete sentences are the ones complaining about how bad our education system is....this happens almost daily on BP....good stuff!

3. Threads like this one are a complete waste of time and border on theological debates. Blind belief in something won't be changed

4. Those that complain about ad hominem attacks are generally the ones that engage in this activity the most on BP. Some of them even PM you during debates they are losing and call you names and such

For the record I consider myself pretty conservative on fiscal matters. On other things I am all over the map and generally err on the side of the government getting the heck out of my life altogether. For some reason "conservatives" like for the government to legislate morality in some arenas...that has always been comical to me too.
