From Politico [emphasis added]:

Additionally, POLITICO has learned that Beck's 9.12 Project is co-sponsoring a march on Washington on Sept. 11, 2010 to voice unhappiness with the agenda of President Obama and the Democratic congress, and that the group will also become involved in voter registration drives.

The idea of trying to politicize the 9/11 anniversary in such a naked way is shocking. But of course nothing actually shocks us any more about Beck's tasteless, Obama-hating campaign. What would be amazing though, is if Beck is able to get away with this. (At least this year's anti-Obama rally was held the day after Sept. 11.) Meaning, if Beck's followers really follow through with their plan and use the hallowed anniversary of 9/11 and turn the tragic terrorist attacks of 2001 into a day for hurling hateful attacks against the President of the United States, will there be no outcry?

Will the Beltway press corps look away from the right-wing attempt to turn a day of healing into a day of hate? And will leaders of the conservative movement in America stand by silently while rodeo clown Glenn Beck and company make a mockery out of our collective mournful memory?

After all, news of the 9/11, Obama-hating rally has been out for several days now, and so far the silence has been deafening.

UPDATED: Of course, remember that Beck hates the 9/11 families.
