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.

“That’s the best you’ve got, Rove Blossom?”
apparently “it” is all I need around here.
I am gratified by your citing of a dictionary, I was under the impression that most on the left read only tawdry romance novels, science fiction or pseudo intellectual tripe that passes for scholarship in the once hallowed halls of the academy.
Bully for you and good show, maybe someday you will actually learn the definitions and wont need to post them. It only takes a bit of ambition and hard work to overcome ignorance. I see you have taken a very big first step. Maybe someday you will actually be able to understand higher level concepts. Keep working hard.
That’s the best you’ve got, Rove Blossom?
Avoidance coupled with an “I know you are but what am I”?
pathetic \pə-ˈthe-tik\, adj.,
1: having a capacity to move one to either compassionate or contemptuous pity
2: marked by sorrow or melancholy : sad
3: pitifully inferior or inadequate (the commentator’s pathetic cognitive and argumentation skills)
4: absurd, laughable (a pathetic argument)
Seriously, you’re going to need better game than that.

My view of Rachel Maddow is that she is one of the finest television journalists of our time. I say this for the following reasons: [list]
3rd that Mike, she’s the best on TV. I would add to your list that she devotes substantial time to stories of substance and often lingers over the small, human details that encourage the audience to expand or shift their point of view away from the dogmatic to the human.
Olberman and Maddow, the Glen Beck and Sean Hannity of the left. Jeepers creepers.
Mike A.,
True that. As much as people have thrown about the “Murrow” label in re Olbermann, Rachel Maddow is far more deserving of the appellation regardless of the fact that Keith gives our munificent host more air time.
My view of Rachel Maddow is that she is one of the finest television journalists of our time. I say this for the following reasons:
1. Her questions are well thought out, intelligent and clearly articulated.
2. She identifies the sources for all the information broadcast on her show.
3. She permits her guests to answer fully and without interruption, but does not accept formulaic pablum in response to substantive questions.
4. She delves into the ideas and philosophy underlying the views of her guests.
5. She treats her guests respectfully and does not resort to ad hominem attacks.
6. She freely invites those whom she has criticized to appear on her show for rebuttal purposes.
7. When she makes a mistake, her apology is sincerely expressed and she broadcasts the correction on her show rather than using a spokesperson for that purpose.
If there is anything more that can be asked of a responsible journalist, I’d like to know what it is.
Maybe so, ‘lil Projector, but we compensate for it by using our larger brains and facts to build judgments instead of our genitalia and some rote taught ideology, something you on the right have yet to master.
Or you can avoid the question again.
You’re good at that.

I doubt it, there appears to be only small mouths here.
pete:
if they hate me then by definition they are not my “friends”. What is it with the left? Are you projecting or just wishful thinking to make yourself feel better?
Hemingway was an American or don’t you know who he was?
jeepers creepers ( typing that made me want to wash my hands )
folio grandeur? we speak ‘merikan round here son and no its just the simple colbert spoken truth that the facts have a liberal bias.
and you can’t handle the truth,
BTW great name and so apropos!
cheers genius and your friends secretly hate you!
Allow me to acknowledge that I was in favor of the bailout. What I did not understand at the time was that it would involve blank checks with no strings attached and no accountability. I expected that the banks would be required to jump through all of the same sorts of hoops that the average banker demands from the guy borrowing $100,000.00 to finance inventory for his hardware store. In this instance, I anticipated that there would be interim limits imposed on executive compensation, bonuses and the payment of dividends. I expected that repayment of the monies would be secured to the extent feasible. And I could not have imagined that the bailout would be accompanied by a de facto amnesty for perpetrators of securities fraud and other financial crimes. Industries cannot be properly overseen by insiders.
I also supported the stimulus. My only objection was that it was not large enough or broad enough. All of the yelling and screaming from the right on this issue is misdirected. It’s not that the stimulus hasn’t been beneficial. It’s that it’s been too modest.
Although I’m sure there are several, the only convert from the left to neoconservatism that I’m familiar with is Irving Kristol, whose son now runs “The Weekly Standard.” Kristol began his career as a socialist. William Kristol is not in the same league with his father as an intellectual, however.
Glen Beck is any media whores money. Where Glen goes so does the media. How do you stop a running toilet when Rachel’s around? You don’t she runs after it. You see Mr. Beck knows how to swoon his audience. I think he should be the next Jessie. He knows shit when he see it. He could call it the shit rainbow.

Jeepy Creepy,
Yes, I am a genius. Thanks for noticing. But enough about me, let’s talk about you.
Try to insult me all you like. I find that funny. But insulting me (or trying to anyway, emphasis on trying) won’t excuse you from backing up what you say with evidence and/or logic. Ignorance of facts is no excuse in argument and, in fact, argument from ignorance (argumentum ad ignorantiam) is an informal logical fallacy – a form of false dilemma. Here, since it’s obvious that you’re mentally impaired, let me help you out with that.
fallacy /ˈfæləsi/, n.,
1. a deceptive, misleading, or false notion, belief, etc.: That the world is flat was at one time a popular fallacy.
2. a misleading or unsound argument.
3. deceptive, misleading, or false nature; erroneousness.
4. Logic. any of various types of erroneous reasoning that render arguments logically unsound.
But as Elaine has pointed out, the people of Glennbeckistan aren’t known for their critical thinking skills. So let’s review your homework, shall we? Or are you a product of right wing homeschooling and incapable of critical review, i.e. grading? That’s a rhetorical question, door nob, because everyone gets graded around these parts.
You 1) made a claim in re those on the left somehow being Neo-conservatives that when challenged to prove it 2) you could not prove with either 3) fact and/or 4) logic.
That’s what’s known as a non-responsive answer. You get an F.
Yep. The evidence is clear about you, Rove Blossom.
You are going to get eaten alive around here.

Correction:
“…neo-conservatIVES were just…”
Jeepers,
So, you don’t know what the words mean?
I gathered as much when you said Neo-conservatism were just early 80s rock bands.

Gynos-
neo means new if you didn’t know, it isn’t the name of the guy from the Matrix. Maybe they (neo-conservatives) are actually proto-progressives?
