Bachmann to speak at controversial Glenn Beck rally
Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 1:41 pm
Rep. Michele Bachmann has become a late addition to a rally the night before Glenn Beck’s controversial Restoring Honor rally on Saturday. Black leaders have criticized Beck for planning the rally at the same time and location that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech 47 years ago. Beck says it is just coincidence, but the outrage by black leaders has in turn prompted outrage from tea partiers.
The Defending the American Dream Summit, hosted by Americans for Prosperity, will be held along with a weekend of Tea Party activities. Bachmann, who has spoken at the event in the past, is one of few politicians speaking at the event, which includes Sarah Palin.
“When we heard about Glenn Beck, it was puzzling,” said Sharpton. “Because if you read Dr. King’s speech, it just doesn’t gel with what Mr. Beck or Mrs. Palin are representing.”
The controversy over the event resulted in a radio show by Bradlee Dean and Jake McMillian of You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International, a ministry that Bachmann raises funds for annually. Dean said, “I know more about the civil rights issue than most black folks.”

“Bachmann, who has spoken at the event in the past”
-ummm this is the first “restoring honor rally” not sure if anyone has spoken at it yet as it has not yet happened.
I thought this was supposed to be a non-political rally. But now it has Bachmann speaking too? And it is being staffed by 400 Tea Party volunteers? It is being preceded and followed by 2 different Tea Party events.
I just dont understand how a rally being bookended by tea party rallies, staffed by tea party volunteers, and having primary tea party darlings as the headliners is being called a non-political rally. Sounds like a lot of spin to get tax-exempt status for a political rally.
Does anyone even know who or what “honor” America needs restored? I have heard some say this is a rally for the troops, others say restoring honor to american citizenry, and even others say it is to reclaim MLK’s dream. I am not sure if any of the attendees know what they are going for other than a tea party rally, of which it is not supposed to be as it would put the tax exempt SOWF charity in jeopardy of losing its tax exempt status.

Glenn Beck was the fat kid everybody picked on in school now using his mouth to try and get back at them. As for Michele she is about as smart as that pet rock many people had back in the day. I can’t believe anybody believes any of the crap that come out of the mouths of these right winged nutjobs.

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!
READ: (“Covert Operations, the Billionaire Koch Brothers who are waging war against Obama” by Jane Mayer in the New Yorker
Just look at their agenda items. It‘s like wet dream for Ken Lay, Tom Delay, Newt Gingrich or Jack Abramoff:
1) Repeal Health Insurance Reform
2) Privatize Social Security or abolish it.
3) End Medicare
4) Extend Bush Tax Cuts for wealthy and Big Oil
5) Repeal Wall Street reform
6) Protect all those responsible for Gulf oil disaster and future environmental catastrophes
7) Abolish or cut funding to Department of Education
8) Abolish Dept. of Energy
9) Abolish Environmental Protection Agency
10) Repeal 17th Amendment
11) Rewrite Bible and school textbooks,
12) Replace JESUS with Glenn Beck, Frank Church with Joe McCarthy…
13) After USA is destroyed by Republican Party low grade thought processes, BLAME Democrats/Liberals
14) be flunkies, soldiers and slaves for silver spoon trust fund babies like George W. Bush, Saudi Prince Bandar and the Koch Bros.
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!

NOTE: (As of 8-15-10, WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS our nation is facing… Our so-called news cycle is dominated by a conservative idiot debate about a Mosque in NYC. It’s 7:12 pm PST and some crazed maniac named Bill Cunningham (he’s cunning, he’s a ham) is on the radio spewing hate speech to the Conservative wacko masses. According to C. Ham, President Obama will eventually hand the USA over to Muslims and Shariah Law… the ignorant, right wing nutcases are eating it up!
OK, you morons want to play? Let’s see who’s REALLY handing the nation over to foreign INTERESTS:
It all started with Newt Gingrich, the great shameless, hypocrite who was cheating on his sick wife while preaching morality at Bill Clinton. This Republican limp**** is AT IT AGAIN! This time the Grich is trying to tear down President Obama over the NYC Mosque issue. “Muslim this, Nazi that”… but what most conservative wackos don’t know is Newt Gingrich opened the door for the Saudi Royals and other foreign special interests to OWN news media in the USA. In the 90’s Newt oversaw hidden legislation that allowed foreigner Rupert Murdoch to buy FOX Spin… ahhhh I mean News.
12/1/2000 – CIA document Case# F-2001-00009: Buried by Bush/Cheney
“International Crime Threat Assessment” defines “Kleptocracy,
…rather than serve PUBLIC INTEREST, top leaders use nations resources solely to enrich themselves and their cronies. To cover up crimes the stage is set for social and political upheavals…”
Everyone has been thinking it but too afraid to say anything. Republicans put the American PEOPLE under the thumb of Big Oil. And when one thinks of Big Oil the Saudi Royals quickly come to mind.
The really disturbing part of what the George H.W. Bush lip readers witnessed, were his stories about how the Saudi’s have suckered Republicans into destroying America from within. They’ve been playing the right-wing extremists for FOOLS since 1994. It seems Prince Bandar and Prince Alwaleed bin Talai have USED Republican and Conservatives to upgrade their dawah programs.
First they set up schools, clubs, associations all over the world to convert any and all non-Caucasian locals. (example: Association of Latin American Muslims)
Then Saudi Royals invested in the Military Industrial Complex and are now among the leading arms dealers on the planet. (see yearly arms show in Abu Dhabi) Of course they’ve indirectly been involved with every economic disaster and terrorist act since Reagan/Bush came to power. The consequence is their profit margins have increased by 75%.
I know, I KNOW, it was just a coincidence most of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi’s. Of course that **** George W. Bush decided our enemy was in Iraq because “Poppy was personal friends with the Bin Laden’s”.
The Saudi’s want NEVER-ENDING WAR and they know the sucker Ho’s in the Republican Party will make their long term strategic plans possible. Our own Republicans and Conservatives have sold us out to foreign corporate interests.
NOTE: That’s why after 9/11 George W. told Americans to “go shopping”. The Saudi’s have donated billions to promote Conservative spokespersons and Republican candidates over the last few decades.
“We’ve researched the AM Radio Free Conservative/FOX News propaganda machine and it turns out spokespersons like O’Reilly, Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, etc… are TRAITORS working for foreign special interests that want to “divide and conquer” the American PEOPLE. PROPAGANDA on a scale not seen since Mussolini convinced the Italian PEOPLE a police state would assure the trains run on time.
I’m sure the Saudi Royals (Kingdom Holding Co.) who are now majority stockholders in Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp/FOX News are confident of their long range strategic planning.
NOTE: (did you see the video of the TRAITORS Ailes, O’Reilly, Hannity, Beck and the rest of FOX news puppets lining up t0 kiss the right shoulder of the Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talai? I got ill during the Saudi sword dance celebrating how they got the American, ignorant, right-wing fanatics to VOTE AGAINST THEIR OWN BEST INTERESTS!
…It’s even more sickening than all the hand holding/kissing Bush Jr. used to do at the ranch in Crawford TX. George W. Bush always resembled a smitten school girl ever time he was in the presence of Saudi Royals. All this going on while Bush, Cheney, Gingrich, Limbaugh, Beck, etc… were carrying out Osama bin Laden’s plan to make the USA the enemy of all Islam and break the bank with unnecessary WARS!
HA Republican voters… TRAITORS! Nothing but #*~/’n obstructionists who allowed a bunch of vain, self-serving, power mad, greed stricken, silver spoon CON artists to ravage and expatriate most of our nation’s wealth and resources. The USA is in the middle of a fire sale where drug trafficers, Saudi Royals, India and Communist China are buying up our most valuable assets… Thanks for NOTHING you Republican/Conservative wackos.

I want you all to watch it. It’ll be so much fun. And I hope Al Sharpton stops by. He’d learn that Beck and Palin have more in common with Dr. King’s dream of a meritocracy than Sharpton does with his vision of a race-based nanny state.

Are you going to spend your weekend watching this funfest, Dennis? Why don’t you and your buddy, Dano go and tell us all about it and how much fun you had listening to ranting, lies and bigotry for a whole fun filled weekend?
Apparently you know something about Beck, Palin and Bachmann I don’t know. They have a “vision of meritocracy”? I hadn’t heard that one. Why don’t you explain it for me?
Comment posted August 26, 2010 @ 11:58 pm
Beck, Palin, Bachmann are all nut jobs. All they do this for is attention. Nothing that comes out of their mouths have any logic or sense. They figure that people are stupid enough to believe them, and unfortunately there is a fare number who do!!

I love all the haters guessing on the potential agenda and then hating on it When you don’t have a argument, demonize your opponent. When I think about the illogic of position of Dems, the only explanation I can think of is that most Dems have one agenda, free money, and their believes follow from there.
