CSPAN is covering the event.. Not Fox
( send private message )

This event is not about FOX, CNN, MSNBC, etc..

I ask again that you refrain…

BTW: Thought the opening prayer was a little over the top… JMHO

I watched for a while, it was boring to tell the truth. Fine that 250,000+ people are there and all that, but too much of the bible tumping for me.
( send private message )

The tributes to the Military, not Bible Thumping at all…

JMHO

I’m far more uncomfortable with Rev. Wright than this.
( send private message )

Don’t mistake uncomfortable with not interested. Free speech and all that.
( send private message )

I too think that toning down the GOD talk would not be a bad idea, but the last 2 speakers have taken a much different path to walk..
( send private message )

I stopped watching so I’ll take your word for the revival aspects of the show being toned down.

Don’t care if the Libs don’t like this or not, if they don’t want to watch, turn the channel, I did. People want to have their revival under the doctrine of free speech, knock yourself out.

By the way, evangelical Republicans aren’t all that happy with Beck as he’s a ***gasp*** Mormon. There will be mumbling coming from the Mega Church crowd coming soon.
( send private message )

Say what you will about Beck, but you cannot dismiss the FACT that he was able to gather hundreds of thousands of Americans in one place on warm Saturday afternoon in Washington DC..

You cannot dismiss the FACT that millions are watching on TV and the Internet and listening on radio..

Say what you will about the Man and the messages spoken today, but try not to forget what a tremendous accomplishment this is.. THIS IS AMERICA at it’s best..
( send private message )

But who’s higher power?

Yours, Obama’s, Pasta?

This country was founded on both the freedom of and from religion and intolerance based on religious doctrines.
( send private message )

I support the right for Beck to do and say what ever he wishes to do. Am I required to agree with everything he says or does? Is the Christian Taliban going to get me if I don’t?
( send private message )

I do wish Beck had spoken more, like now.
( send private message )

Not at all… there is no such requirement..

I choose today to embrace the glory of what I can do and feel as an American.

I choose today to not argue with those I disagree with.

I choose to smile today and not frown.

I choose today to simply be a father, an Uncle, a brother, a husband, a Grandfather and an American.

We all can choose today to be who we want to be.

It is our choice.
( send private message )

I choose Liberty and Freedom

Freedom to worship or not worship

Liberty to speak, and support of those who speak when I disagree with what they have to say.

I choose today to celebrate diversity, individuality and freedom to think for ones self.

I celebrate Glen Beck and Al Sharpton speaking and being right and wrong all at the same time.

Overall, I’d have to say it was a very positive, even uplifting, event. As promised, it was for the most part a non-political, non-partisan, call for unity. And who can object to that?

To the extent that it was a patriotic salute to our country and the men and women in our armed forces, past and present, I applaud it. To the extent that it was a religious revival meeting, I am less comfortable with it.

But those concerns would are relatively minor quibbles that seem inappropriate at this moment. It will be interesting to see what people (and the media) take from this. There were many messages, not all of them easy ones. I need some time to digest it all before saying more…
( send private message )

Absolutely!
( send private message )

Too much God for my taste, but I am ok with it…

Non Violent positive messages, and everyone there seemed invested..

KUDOS to all who managed this event..

Trying to see bites from Sharpton’s rally too but cannot find..
( send private message )

Probably hours and hours of tape on MSNBC from Sharpton, about 15 seconds from Beck….LOL
( send private message )

I hope you wrong but suspect you are not..

I do NOT like to see the American flag altered in any way. Throughout, behind the podium, someone was waving a large American flag with a yellow logo in the center. I can’t say for certain (it was in soft focus), but it appeared to be the “don’t tread on me” coiled snake against a yellow background. I have no problem with that symbol by itself, but I believe it is considered a desecration of our flag to modify it in any way.
( send private message )

Why do I think that if the yellow logo had been a rainbow symbol or a Obama riding a Unicorn you would not be so upset?
( send private message )

I am guessing he would have been just as disturbed..

Ray is a vet and has constantly been a beacon of patriotism in here…
( send private message )

Though I agree the event was amazing, I do not agree with your analysis of what the wake up call will be..

TO me.. it was all about being an American again…accepting the FACT that this country is cemented in faith and the cement is beginning to erode..

Time the restore America.. Time to celebrate faith, even if yours has been tarnished, in what makes this Country great..
( send private message )

So there are venture capitalists working to make our community better.

SAD, SICK and PATHETIC

I made no attempt to judge you…You have misinterpreted my comments..

The comment below was directed to all, not at you..and FAITH in America..not God…

That would have been National news had it been a mosque. Any mosque, anywhere, anytime. National Headline News.

“AP – Conservative commentator Glenn Beck and tea party champion Sarah Palin appealed Saturday to a vast, predominantly white crowd on the National Mall to help restore traditional American values and honor Martin Luther King’s message. Civil rights leaders who accused the group of hijacking King’s legacy held their own rally and march.”

Will someone from the left please tell me if Sharpton has EVER held a yearly rally honoring MLK and why now, today if not.
( send private message )

Yep, must have not put out the word that there would be free government handouts and Unicorn rides. That would bring out dem’ black folks.
( send private message )

Oh but I am, I have a job, pay taxes and think Churches Fried Chicken is the bomb.
( send private message )

That’s a stretch even for race baiting. In a country where 70% of it’s citizens are white, to say a crowd was perdominantly white is just an attack.

The Ap writer is predominantly spineless.
( send private message )

Because the AP has writers that are predominantly extreme left sperm burping liars that are into deciept.

No offense to sperm burpers that aren’t race baiting liars and scumbags.
( send private message )

Guess they didn’t think anyone CARED about Civil Rights for Black People – until it could be propagandized into something for out of work white people.
( send private message )

If Sharpton cares anything about MLK, he’d have yearly rallies in his honor, becaue as you could see; people DID show up for him yesterday.

Whitman ahead by 8 points
Boxer down by 2 points
And folks, bear in mind…This coming from perhaps the most liberal state in the country.
Leftists should probably resurrect ACORN..haha

Good Luck dealing with the #1 Bigot on this site..

To him it is all about the demon White Race enslaving the masses..

YAWN, SNORE..

LIBS are all slobbering on each other on the other thread talking “Social Justice” which is LIB SPEAK for “HANDOUTS to ALL”. NO RESTRICTIONS unless you are successful!

APATHY rewarded..

Actually restore honor means knowing that we were looted by others so they could live in a bigger house than they can afford and we are called selfish.

Restored honor means tossing your neighbor on the grenade rolled into the room to save yourself.

America a land of honorable people.

Insert something pithey here to show my sarcasm.

Was the Restoring Honor Rally the Biggest Ever in DC?
Andrew Thomas

Glenn Beck remarked during the 8-28 “Restoring Honor” rally that he believed this was the largest attended private event in Washington DC history.

My wife and I attended both the 9-12 March on Washington in 2009 and this past weekend’s 8-28 rally. From my subjective analysis, I believe it can be shown that the attendance at the Glenn Beck rally was roughly equivalent to the 9-12 march, which was estimated to be approximately 1.5 million people. It is possible that the 8-28 rally had the potential to be even bigger.

All DC hotels were sold out during both of these events. On neither of these dates were there any other large events taking place which would have significantly competed for hotel space (other than Al Sharpton’s gathering of 3,000 people on 8-28, who I am assuming were mostly locals).
