    It was broadcast live on C-Span.

    The only people who can "spin your head in circles" are the people who you ALLOW to do so. Allowing a person to give you a headache by simply 'imagining' him... LOL How absurd to let any person do such a thing to you, especially when you have no REAL idea who they even are and clearly have no desire to understand them.

    Ya know? For people who claim to be so open-minded and accepting of ALL people.... You do not make much of an effort to understand the people with whom your idols tell you to disagree with. But then again, that takes effort... So much easier to call people names.

    Carry on! We don't really need you to make sure our posterity has a future worth looking forward to. Because the light always pushes the darkness aside.

    Are you speaking to me, Puck?

    Remember when I said this - post #2473 -
    You know, on a couple of occasions I have turned on Glenn Beck's mid-day radio show. I had to stop doing it.

    He made no sense to me - within a few minutes my head would be spinning as he bounced from one nutty idea (at least that's how they seemed to me) to another. I don't understand where he is coming from, or where he is going.

    I don't listen to, or watch, Keith Olbermann either. I'm more comfortable with hosts who don't scream and shout; hosts who don't repeatedly interrupt a guest.

    Must be my age
    He has RAGING ADD. LOL He admits as much. Maybe that is why I find it 'easy' to follow him.

    The more you listen, the more you understand him.

    But, I totally understand the sentiment of him being hard to follow sometimes. It has nothing to do with age.
    Boy, I sure did misunderstand you. First you claim to understand where I am coming from - now you insult me.

    Only in the first paragraph and then not just you.

    I misunderstood what you meant by the term "spinning heads in a circle" when you used it the second time. I took it to mean that you found the message disagreeable, rather than difficult to follow due to his delivery style.

    If you were insulted by what I said, I apologize. The post was written more for 'someone else'.

    I loved the hemming and hawing of Al and Jesse.

    If they were so interested in equality and justice?

    EVERY YEAR they would get a permit for the steps and have some kind of rally.


    Eff the both of them, they are nothing but opportunists and fame 'hors'.

    Please,
    They do not speak for me as a man, 'minority' or whoever else they want to align themselves with.

    They push the 'minority' agenda-it's convenient to call us that because it shed a light on us that makes us seem like we are still second class citizens.

    This home squeeze don't play that game....I don't think that I am any less than the next guy or gal.

    -------------

    I also saw my president say that Katrina was a man made disaster.

    Well, we'll see in five years what a PRESIDENTIAL MADE disaster the health care initiative is. I really can hardly wait for BO to take his place in the annals of history as the ------------ president ever.

    I laugh every time I see BO does the head tilt/head shake/chin out movements everytime he thinks he is being noble and 'kingly'.

    The emperor has no clothes on...

    Just thought I'd toss that in.


    Man made disaster...that's right, It's ALLL GWB's fault. Five years later...we will never move on as long as the buffons writing his speeches think that way.

    Why, hell, I want to blame George Washington for everything.

    I was watching REDEYE on the FNC /aug31st show/ and the opened with the Glen Beck rally story.

    They quoted 6-7 news sources, one of them was the El Lay times, and each of them, in on form or another noted that the crowd was predominately/mostly/largely white.

    So WTF did that have to do with the price of tea in China?

    Sometimes I think that instead of race relations getting better? We just slide back down the ladder.

    --------------

    Yesterday, Matt Taibbi got his arse handed to him by a woman on while they spoke about the same topic on a news program, I want to say that it was Anderson Cooper's program? It was CNN.

    Taibbi is a really fun to watch, he's one of the 'new hip' electrojournalists that came from Rolling Stone magazine. He writes these opinion pieces that read more like slanted BS than real opinion tomes.

    MT made a comment about there being only white people in attendance and the gal asked him how he knew that was a fact....

    He saw it on TV.

    That is the kind of spin that the "mainstream" media puts on shiat like the GB rally.

    This piece is critical of Mr. Beck. But see what is said about the people.

    The 'behavior' of the crowd will get little or no coverage because it IRKS THE LIVIN POOP out of people that wanted to see GB fail.

    Now, I try to watch a little of 'them' all -'them' being all the talking heads on MSNBC, CNN, FNC, HLN and I truly find them to all be major league BWs.
    Beck, sometimes irks me by his antics but, I really want to see Madcow, Olberman, Ratigan, any one of them to try and pull off an event like that.

    Where were the reports of looting, assault, vandalism or ?????? that we associate with political rallies in the past?

    What the hell is going on?
    This 'kinder, gentler' form of gathering people is worrisome to me.

    THere has to be some kind of evil that slow bubbles underneath the calm exteriors of you white people in that crowd.

    I can bet that if they had allowed some Mexicans in there, there would have been problems. We would have set up stalls to try and sell water, popsicles or tacos....The nerve.

    I liked the idea of getting people together and trying to find some kind of togetherness for the country.

    Some of us cannot handle that because it means we'll have to behave ourselves and there will not be the tension we have come to know and complain about.


    I love crowds, I have been to sporting events and concerts with 100,000 people around me and thought about how the promoters got so many people to 'behave' for a few hours.

    Get on the freeway and check out a good traffic jam. Everyone, well mostly everyone, gets along and follows the rules for however how long it takes to clear up.

    A few rules and a giant crowd?

    I'll give that blubbering crybaby the respect he deserves. He pulled it off without a hitch.

    I would love to see that AH losers that would show up to a Keith Olbermann rally....Come on Rachel!

    She has women, dems, gays and a HUGE number of fans she could rally, but then the Right to Lifers will show up, PETA, Code Pink and maybe some anarchists, for flavor?

    THe scariest thought to the people that talked about GB in unflattering terms is the fact that he did what he did and there was nothing to complain about afterwards.


    Well, maybe the fact that 'whitey' took over and didn't let us 'minorities' come play on the lawn....

    That's o.k.

    I saw some pictures with some black and brown faces mixed into the crowd..

    Even Glenn Beck couldn't keep us out.

    . All this talk of Obama makes me SICK!!! I am NOT his biggest fan. He is just horrible! Religion? Of course. I am a christian baptist. No offence to Richard here, but I would just find a new church instead of sittin around DRINKING and watching tv. No offence, just what I believe. I don't believe in drinking, and if you want to drink, it's fine, i will still be your friend, it does not matter. Some people believe in drinking and some dont. Obama is just messing America up... totally!!!
