Glenn Beck's 'restore honor' rally...
 
Slated for this weekend.

Should be interisting.

I find this will be a serious waste of time and energy to be honest. Not to mention the resources the city will have to come up with. I think Beck is off his rocker as well.

Glenn who? And what is he going to restore honor to? :-?

I would be less generous; Glenn Beck is an unhinged loon who helps give conservatism a bad name.

Usually as I'm breezing my way up to the History Channel or HD Channel I will stop and listen to this guy. Really, he nuts. I just shake my head and then go watch American Pickers or Pawn Stars.

Pawn Stars is awesome.

Which is unfortunate because, if I recall correctly, he's more of a libertarian than a conservative.

I could be wrong on that number, though.

Ok, I think I get the picture now as to this guy. But if tens of thousands of people turn up to this rally what does that say?

He's more of a social engineer than an economist, which is really the point of his whole rally. So, he's Neo-Con through and through. It cannot be overstated how much harm the talk radio crowd has done to American Conservatism.

I hope the cameras are rolling to expose the amount of racists the various claimed "moderate" rallies swarm with.

Keep the rallies coming! Every rally is a chance to expose the racists within it to the world.

That no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people?

Yeah the place is packed with racists. Get your racist t-shirt for the event. :doh:

We signed the Wellington Declaration a couple of years ago and it came into effect the beginning of this month...that means we have a load of cluster munitions we need to get rid of...if you can lend us the aircraft...we could solve two problems in one. :hmmm::03:

Yup Sharpton and his goons should make for a good show.

I knew the racisist card would quickly come out. Sure as the sun rises.

Judging by the polls, I'm not sure he's done any harm at all.

Hey, I agree that the guy's a bit of a loon. But he certainly is striking a chord with people.
