Glenn Beck Rally: Restoring Honor Rally Controversy
Glenn Beck Rally: Restoring Honor Rally Controversy – Glenn Beck has denied claims that his Restoring Honor Rally, which will be held on Saturday, has something to do with the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s historical “I Have a Dream” speech. Reportedly, the date was not chosen purposely, but he isn’t seeing it as a bad thing.
Beck said that he believed that his rally would be the jump-off point for people to “reclaim the civil rights movement.” His cheap story may be a little bit farfetched, and civil rights participants have been skeptical about the statements that Beck has made. Al Sharpton even expressed his skepticism, stating that he thought that his choice of date was “puzzling,” and also revealed that the message that Beck is sending “doesn’t gel with what Mr Beck or Mrs. Palin are representing.”
Beck has been at the forefront of the Tea Party movement, and has been a controversial right-wing figure throughout his career. Sarah Palin will also be taking part in the event as the featured speaker. This will be just another stop on the road for Palin as she gears up for a presumed run at the Presidential office in 2012, although she has made no formal announcement regarding her intentions.
The official website of the event states that the event is for America’s military, and to pay tribute to individuals who “embody our nation’s founding principles of integrity, truth and honor.”
Beck is a polarizing figure to say the least, and while his intentions behind the rally may be noble, there are certain individuals that will never see his actions to be without an ulterior motive.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“I’m wondering if those who support that so-called Tea Party Movement really know where Republicans are leading them? It seems like the Tea Party rank & file are being USED by a bunch of vain, self-serving, evil, power mad, greed stricken, K-Street Con Artists. Paid for by wealthy silver spoon trust fund babies who want to turn the American PEOPLE into peasants. The scum of the earth who hide their hideous faces by using Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin as spokespersons. SUCKERS!

REALITY NOW! What leadership, character or morals have Republicans displayed since Obama was sworn in? NO solutions, NO rational plans, clear agendas or common sense policy… JUST Sarah Palin/Glenn Beck groupies parroting talking points! (I heard rumors someone in the Palin entourage is smuggling meth/coke on the tour charter flights)
COME ON, are you right-wing wackos #*~/‘n INSANE? Am I missing something here but didn’t Conservatives just have 8 YEARS of Bush/Cheney and Republican controlled Congress (1994-2006) to put their warped ideology into practice? AND IT ALMOST DESTROYED THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH!
As a conservative, I like your checklist. I do agree with 1,2,3,7,10 but the rest is either hate speech or has half truthes that cannot be agreed with.
I also agree that Bush/Cheney failed conservatives miserably during their 6 years of controlled houses. I am not against Democrates, but I am conservative and I AM against scumbag politicians on either side.
