I watched this live for only a few minutes before the "Christian" overwhelmed me to move on. Listening to Beck and then Palin I realized they were saying NOTHING. There is nothing in it but religious jargon and patriotic homilies. Completely void of any substance. Honor what specifically? We have lost what exactly? Religion is on the rise not the wane! Gosh… What are they yapping about? Kipling said it well, it seems to be all about WE against THEM. Whether religion or patriotism or the NFL, it’s tribalism.
What could not be missed in this cheesy way of stealing the Civil Rights movement is that religion is the driving force of Right-wing swill which of late has become so consumed with religious intolerance, ethnic bigotry and overt racism here in JesusLand. Where a white morbidly obese English Only Jesus sports a .44 magnum in one hand and hands out the finger in the other. Kick! The bastardization of Christ.
"We have 300,000 to 500,000 here today!" Glenn Beck doing Fox News Math.
Because the Parks Department no longer gives crowd estimates because Right-wing organizers don’t like their numbers, CBS hired a crowd estimate company onAirPhotosLive.com who put the number at 87,000 at high noon. 87,000 attend Glenn Beck Rally on the Mall
UPDATE! Fox News Sunday moderator Chris Wallace agreed with Beck’s "hundreds of thousands" number. So there ya go, that’s that!
This means Glenn Beck was only wrong by a factor of 5. Being that wrong is consistent with what Beck is wrong about in his Fox News and AM Radio shows. Though from the pictures I do believe had they collected cupcake wrappers they could have easily extrapolated the true number of the crowd. Pictures from Wonkette White Slob Church Picnic.
Wanna bet both of these morbidly obese woman are not only on socialist Social Security but also on socialist SSI and socialist Medicare? Wanna bet that scooter is paid for with your tax money?
As a one time troop I was aghast to find that here in America we trust our Military more than any other government entity. This of course is especially true of American Christians who seem to have death on their breath. Remember as Jesus said "Blessed are those who kill for a living, for they are the children of God." Mark 66:6
Here is a video of just one of the many reasons we trust the Military as we do. No RPGs, no AK47s, an unarmed group of men including two Reuters camera men. This video does not include them shooting up the rescue van in which a little girl was shot.
The Military (Pentagon) so does not like this kind of thing going public that they have accused the WikiLeak founder of rape and molestation. After all, he is not American, or it seems, a good American Christian.
I went through this same thing with these SAME KIND OF PEOPLE 40 years ago. In fact I bet many of them are the same people with the NUKE THE GOOKS signs who made a hero of Lt William Calley. Who did his patriotic respectful trusting duty – not to a dozen men – but hundreds of women and children at Mia Li. Oh you never ask questions when God’s on your side. Kick! Jingo Patriotism
