Beck and Palin

Apocalipstic · 08-28-2010, 09:12 AM

The background music is killing me. Taped fanfares and now a lone Black Pastor on stage in a sea of white. A soldier with hooks (not prosthetic hands...hooks) gives the award. The award winner speaking of Dr. MLK.

He says the dream of Glen Bleck is that Jesus gave his life so these people could gather now.

Apocalipstic · 08-28-2010, 09:14 AM

People are crying.

Apocalipstic · 08-28-2010, 09:15 AM

The Washington Monument looks crooked.

Apocalipstic · 08-28-2010, 09:19 AM

Restoring Honor...

They say hope must be based on truth. I see no truth. I see truthyness.

Apocalipstic · 08-28-2010, 09:20 AM

People wearing stupid hats in front of a huge screen showing photos of Americana....eagles...statue of liberty....

Now, the sports angle.

Apocalipstic · 08-28-2010, 09:23 AM

Knowing that Beck and Palin and all the cost of producing this multimedia festival of reiculocity must be paid before the actual organization in whose name this is staged, gets a dime.

If they really meant it, they would do it for FREE.

Thank you! I know I am babling, but if I don't vent I will explode.

I keep expecting them to roll someone up in a iron lung to win this award.

I think Glen Beck has much more in common with facists, than he does Martin Luther King, Jr..

I agree. Linus wrote yesterday that Beck reminds him of the rise of the Third Reich.

I hope this is not that widespread.

Apocalipstic · 08-28-2010, 09:26 AM

Winner 2.....fanfares in background....drums....Latino and a baseball player.

Winner 3 will be a woman, I just feel it.

Apocalipstic · 08-28-2010, 09:30 AM

Now the Screen, which BTW says Restoring Honor on top...they are giving the Satue of Liberty immigrant speech...like Beck does not daily vilify imigrants.

Pictures now of the Depression...talking about Charity.....

I think this is going to the government not helping and not paying taxes, but choosing who churches will offer "real" charity to.

I agree with that statement...unfortunately it is true.

I'm sure Beck will parade an "illegal" immigrant who is itching to go home when the music changes to the cockroach song (sarcasm).

I weep that people are so uninformed, so forgetful of a nation's past, so afraid that someone will take what is theirs ... even though it was never really theirs to begin with.

I weep because there are good, knowledgeable Christians, who ate stunned by such display, and who are just at a loss of what to do as anyone else on this website. I weep because what worked in the past, marches, sit ins, etc., in this techno age, no longer seems to work.

So, I dry my tears and hope for youth to once again lead the way. For a new means of reasoned, radical resistance which comes from many corners. I am Pisces. I am a dreamer.

Beautifully stated!

My hope is that Beck is going too far and less people than he thinks are buying this.

Apocalipstic · 08-28-2010, 09:47 AM

He is saying people are born knowing the truth and the truth will set us free.

It is almost too sick to watch....slow motion train wreck....

and now.

Dr A. King.

Apocalipstic · 08-28-2010, 09:47 AM

I guess to make the white people feel better?

Apocalipstic · 08-28-2010, 09:50 AM

POC performning for the white people?

Bullshit.

We saw one black lady in the audience and she was pushing a white lady's wheelchair.
