OK...note cards, or whatever.....

UGH

His hands aren't big enough.

I did a search for pictures and noticed that the ones I saw pretty much everyone had those fold up chairs. I wonder if that is making the crowd seem larger than it is.

Preaching.

Burning Bush...

Moses...

Beck can relate to Martin Luther King the most.

Is he wearing a bullet proof vest?

Probably. To be real, I'm sure he's had just as many death threats as Obama does. You don't say things like he does without making enemies.

Makes sense, and a bunch of people left during the previous segment.

True true...

Though I think the people who would kill a public figure are on his side.

The overblown ego of it all.

"one man can change the world"

"and that person is you"

I thought he was about to go all third reich but he pulled back

Now he is into the Sermon on the Mount and teaching people to fish.

The poorest among us have all the best blessings....so apparently they need to stop whining?

I was just listening to Beck and noticed he speaks in snippets. It's like he lacks whole concepts and cannot elaborate on them.

Yep, like sound bites.

Keeping things simple for the uneducated?

People who kill others in the name of assassination are not on anyone's specific side but their own delusional state.

Just as much as I don't want the right to demonize the likes of me, I will not demonize them. They are people just like us. Perhaps a little misguided and very set in what they believe, they are still human.

I wonder how many people actually believe this shit?

If you look historically political assasins tend to be extremist.

I see Beck and his followers as extremist and dilusional.

I do agree most of them probably are misguided and would not kill anyone...but I think Beck and Palin stir the fear that looses violence, like the dude who stabbed the Islamic taxi driver this week.

I wonder if he is going to say what the "right thing" is?

Wow

we need to go to church and give money so that the US can save people when the apocalypse comes?

"our churches need to stand for that we know is true"

He did mention Mosques.

He is all excited there are helicopters and planes over he thinks to take pictures of him.

Beck still.

I wonder if he stole his hand towel from his hotel?

He is claiming to have 180 million followers.

Here they are...in front of the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary of Dr. King's speech with their own agenda.

He is crying that he can't find the next George Washington in the crowd.

Reading some more from his non existent notes....

I wonder if he is truly crazy or if this is a front.

Inevitably.....

Bag pipes. Amazing Grace.

Bad bag pipes.

or the satellite is making them off key?

Palin is crying

*cough bullshit cough* DC is a no fly zone.

Beck cries again.

They have raised 1.5 millin $$'s alledgedly.

I keep wondering who is filming this for CSPAN, them?

So manipulative.

Someone with hands and most of face blown off to pray.

Hideous.

A hideous, manipulative revival meeting

I feel sick, in my bubble I don't always realize that nothing has changed. I say I do....but when I see it it seems too much to wrap my brain around.

I guess I will get back to laundry. I have not said a millionth of what I was thinking...but if you do read, thank you for helping me be able to watch this thing.

and.

Please vote.

I thought it was over..

Joe D Messina. America the Beautiful.

I think the final count came to about 70-75,000 (from what I've read at a variety of places). That said, I'm still not sure what the event was about.

It wasn't political.

It wasn't really religious.

I've been thinking about this and it feels like something a parent would do to tell you what you need to do in life.

It feels like an admonishment.

In this day and age I should think people whoul have more smarts than to fall for the snake oil side show they put on,but I gess if a rable rouser can holler enough loud enough...somebody will show up to see what its all about.

depending on who asks, how they ask and what they ask........somewhere between 25-35% of white folks in this country.......it's been that way ever since I have followed politics..........the last time this happened it was over the 'Godless communists' with Senator Joe McCarthy

that said..........the 'God sent me to do this' thing is getting truly truly scary.....really scary...this just seems really different............the lies keep being repeated and the media reports it like fact.......truth is a lie and the lie is the truth....so the media says.........

I can't wait to see what the Daily Show has to say about this whole thing.

These people scare the crap out of me. I didn't watch. Beck grosses me out. Palin too - in a different way. I don't blame religion. I blame human nature. Human pack behavior. Human gullibility. Human brain-laziness. Human lack of compassion. Etc.

I grew up with "god told me to" how does one argue with that which makes no sense.

I know...I am eat up. I can
t wait! We are taping them...Colbert too and Oberman and Rachel. :)

True and SCARY.
I don't agree with the part about abolishing religion to make people happy...but otherwise, I agree with Marx...Yes, I lean very far to the left, but stop at the forcing people to give it up.

Cynthia was watching, so I watched with her.

I agree that everything falls apart when people are involved. Human nature freaks me out.

lmaooooooooooooooooo

"you know where you are"

really????

We drank 2 pots of coffee and yelled at the TV together.

That's just it. There's no depth, no real concrete anything. This was the way of Palin's failed journey. Witless platitudes served upon a platter of whiteness, distortions, and a reconstructed(for their own aims) G-d. When it is over, all one can utter, really, is, huh?
