Today is the day for Fox News commentator Glenn Beck to share his dream on the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s famous speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
King delivered his “I Have A Dream” exactly 47 years ago and will now be the scene of Beck and his followers offering their own “dream.” The article below describes supporters wearing telltale teeshirts with Palin’s name that the legend “Babies, Guns, Jesus.”
Here is another tee-shirt from the rally:
Some accounts are almost biblical of Beck’s role in reshaping America. Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey explained “[w]e see Glenn Beck as a guy who is bringing revelations of understanding to the American people.”
Revelations by St. Beck will commence this afternoon.

Elaine,
I know that X is true, and have lots of examples to prove it easily, I just don’t have the time to list them.
Hey, I need $20 bucks for um, medicine for my poor sick kid, I promise I’ll pay you back once this guy who owes me $200 for helping him move pays me. It should be in a week or so, he’s on vacation in Switzerland, and they’ve got these weird laws that won’t let him mail me the check until he gets back.
Buddha,
“hey genius, who was for the bail-out? you go find all the guys on the right that were for it and there is your answer, I don’t have the time to do piss-ant work.”
There it is–your typical non-answer answer. Per usual, it’s short on details and facts.
Then again, followers of Beck and Palin don’t need no stinkin’ facts, do they?
Jeepers,
“Personally I think Neo-Cons are just Neo-progressives all wrapped up in the same ball of neo-fascist/socialist bullshit.”
Do you know what those words mean or do you think you just get to add “neo” in-front of any political philosophy you want?
As an aside, I sure hope you’re not one of those revisionists who feel that fascism and socialism are synonyms.
The people on the right cannot add like the people on the left. Some people have problem colouring within the line, figuring out what colour goes with what number on the canvas of Elvis and is it time for the medication yet. I think that the right side has this aspect down. This has to be true, because the people on the left don’t have insurance to pay for living in such largeness. Please be kind to your webbed footed friend. They really maybe somebody’s mother.

God damn do I have to hold your hand as well? It’s called putting 2 and 2 together McFly.

Just like a troll to complain about getting smacked down without answering the question(s) asked.
Yes, I think psychologists called it “avoidance”.
Now answer the question about which Neocons are leftists, Rove Blossom. Show your work and supply specific examples. Again, we don’t grade on a curve around here.
“i love it! this place is where trolls get the smack down. well done.”
yes, I think Hemingway called it “folio grandeur”. In other words in your wildest dreams.
Error correction: In an earlier comment I wrote the following:
“Why, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. alone contributed a whopping $1,000,000,000 to the Republican Governors Association. There’s plenty of political money to spread around to both parties…doncha think?”
That number should have been $1,000,000. I doubt even Rupert Murdoch would give $1,000,000,000 to the Republican Governors Association. Then again, one never knows.
i love it! this place is where trolls get the smack down. well done.

Here’s a quickie–a rhyming couplet:
The blather of Beck
Is nothing but drek.
Elaine M.,
Are you your sure that is not a Load of Ode’s?
Buddha,
“You’re the Queen of Zing and the High Priestess of Poetry.”
I love being a high priestess of poetry! Maybe I should write an ode to Glenn Beck.

I guess you should mention that it was brought to the attention of a government regulatory body during the Clinton Administration which did nothing.
So you know what a Ponzi Scheme is (I see you had to look it up), big deal. You didn’t answer my main question, I guess you don’t know what you mean. Not surprising though.
Apparently Bdaman is the only one with a brain around here based on the comments I read above.

Geeba Geeba,
Forced as I am to live in the real world with observable facts and documentable results it is not that I think I am smarter than you it is that the last 40 years have shown anyone willing to look some obvious truths.
=============================================================
Well frank may be a humble guy but I’m not … I know I’m smarter than GeeGee.

“…… and by honest I don’t think he means someone who is morally honest for that kind of an individual would not want to lead these folk, but rather a charismatic figure who doesn’t lie. If such a person appears on the scene then we have a real problem which we would not be able to simply dismiss.”
============================================
Blouise, Why and how so? What kind of world do we live in where truth is such the fearfull fulcrum?
================================================================
I believe Chomsky was referring to the charismatic leader that states the truth to these people about how they feel and doesn’t go into the hyperbole or lies that are now the code phrases. The style of delivery and the substance of the rhetoric, if you will. Right now we have a bunch of sensationalists that touch upon the emotions of these people but don’t actually name them. The charismatic leader who names the emotion thus giving it credence will be able to take these people anywhere he/she wishes. A good televangelist speaks truth and does it quite skillfully … he/she just doesn’t speak the whole truth. But they do not lie and therein lies the danger. A truth that is not a whole truth but also not a lie is very difficult to combat. That mode of speaking combined with charisma is the danger to which I believe Chomsky was referring. It’s calculated.

Blouise another excellent analysis. You have hit the nail on the head twice.
For every action there is reaction and we are seeing the reaction now to the action of the media.

Between you and me … I could do the same by dressing as a tree or a whale or a bird or a lettuce picker, or a factory worker.
We could form a partnership … use the same agent … get adjoining seats on the plane … schedule rallies in the same cities on the same days at the same time in different venues … tell the exact same jokes just changing the punch line and charge the same fee which would be a percentage of the box office. I’d make more money than you ’cause there’s more of my people but we’d both be stars! We’d just have to keep our luggage straight.
