          Actually, Beck is right on here.

          On 8-28, I fully expect God to descend from the heavens on a golden chariot surrounded by choirs of angels, then step behind the Lincoln Memorial podium amidst a brilliant light to say:

          "You people are a complete embarrassment to my creation. For fu8k's sake, get a life. And Glenn, about that 13 year-old girl you allegedly raped and murdered in 1990? Don't think I wasn't watching. Peace out, b!tches."

        Yes and anyone against them is against god. Hmm, who would be against Beck doing this? In their minds black people. Heck, I would protest against it and I'm not black. I like how Beck keeps invoking god all the time like he's the same religion as his listeners but he's not. I'm certain a portion of his listeners would be shocked to hear that he's Mormon.

        I also like how he automatically alludes to the black panthers and possible violence. The man's stoking prejudice. Sickening.

      Here's a quote from the bible for Mr. Beck.. Matthew 7:22-23

      Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

        Hmmmm, "we got numbers". He wants something to happen. He would love for people to threaten this nonsense. To even compare what is happening at this monstrocity to the courage it took to march in the 50's and 60's is astounding. Maybe if he was sincere he would have some civil rights icons from that era speak to give some authenticity but instead he invites Sarah Palin, Ted Nugent and other pilars of tolerance.

        He is very very nervous and already trying to control the hate that "his people" are known for.

        If anything bad happens it will be ENTIRELY on his shoulders. He is already saying what he needs to say to protect himself. He has incited these folks for years and especially for the past several months.

        I think its a joke that now he is trying to get them all to "lock arms" and sing hymns. If he had been giving these instructions 4 months ago I guarantee you he wouldn't have near the numbers that he might have now. They signed up in droves due to his insane rants against government. The did not sign up for a church revival. Now that they are onboard he is switching the theme.

        But what would we expect from Glenda. Of course he is using the old bait and switch, he thinks his followers are idiots and is treating them as such.

        I am happy about one thing, let them spend their money in Washington. Any money coming into the economy is a good thing and I especially like it that they are spending their money right where our government is located <smile>.

      A question for the Beck fans who are true people of faith. In this clip Beck makes the claim that the power of God is going to be unleashed as it never has before; Wouldn't that mean he's promising something bigger than the destruction of the Walls of Jericho, the parting of the Red Sea, the resurrection of Christ, and, well, the creation of the whole frickin' Universe?

      Being a man of faith myself, I rather doubt it. And even if he were promoting more modest miracles I'm a bit offended that Beck seems to believe he can get God to preform for him, on demand, like a trained seal.

          Dude, I'm assuming you're aware of how The Rock feels about gimmick infringement.

          Nevertheless, the Beck has certainly been whipping up something that carries a strong odor, and I find it somewhat amazing that so many of his followers can breath in those methane fumes and insist they're roses and cinnamon.

        Beck is setting everyone up with this foresight.

        How difficult is it to arrange a few black guys show up and start trouble in the most advantageous camera viewpoints/angles.

        Didn't Beck and Fox indicate that the haters who appeared atthe TeaParties were paid for by the Liberals.

        Glenn, if something happens, you will be held responsible whether you have"predicted it" or not.

        And Glenn, if something should happen, your cowardly butt will be off and running in the other direction.

        Glenn, you butt lickers are dumb but the others 99.9999%of the country sees through you.

          We already know that the Republicans have no shame... they staged phony protests at the 2000 Florida recounts; they planted "outraged citizens" at Town Hall meetings in the Healthcare debate. They created the Teabagger movement. Why would they even think twice about sending in some phony hooligans to disrupt Becky's Magical Miracle Concert?
