What I sent the local radio T-Bagger about the BecKKK vanity circus

[UTUSN]

The bad news for us Dems at first was that the crowd numbers might ill be from 300-500K, the NY Times' guess, but the WaPo and even FoxNews only guess "thousands."

But there was more good news than bad for Dems: The ENTIRE BecKKK crowd was White. They were told not to bring their signs, because those would have given away their true (racist) beliefs and trademark English language impairment of spelling and grammar. But the usual trick from the Rethug National Coventions was used: Audience/White; everybody ON STAGE = MINORITIES. And, like the Rethug conventions, the REAL Rethugs/BecKKKers were KEPT OUT OF SIGHT: No Dick ARMEY (FreedomWorks), PALIN emasculated (yeah, I know she's a woman) from her politics, no BACHMAN and the rest. The MLK niece is a fringe family member who was a child and barely knew MLK and now claims he was a Rethug and is from a Catholic anti-Choice group, and has a degree that is HONORARY. She was recruited just for her MLK blood but I and my relatives know that family relations don't equate with "she or he speaks for me" and vice versa.

But the absolute best news for Dems: As the C-SPAN cameras panned, the BecKKK audience, mostly bearded White dudes in ballcaps besides the OLD OLD White people, were TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED in what they were seeing on the stage. While all the minorities' gospel singers were doing their rousing thing on stage, the bearded ballcapped dudes (the prized CORE) were standing STARING AT THEIR FEET in disappointment. They wanted their red meat and were being told they could NOT SHOW THEIR REAL SELVES TO THE COUNTRY. And BecKKK's spiels were embarrassing sermons and pseudo-history lectures. The BecKKKers DIDN'T COME HERE FOR THIS, for everything they were seeing on the stage. The dude is nuts: He attempted to usurp the places of George WASHINGTON and Alfred NOBEL, making up fake medals/awards to give out, besides picking only OBVIOUS STOOGES to give them to, and really equating his "ministry" with THE ACTUAL JESUS and even GAWD himself. BecKKK was playing it as safe as he could to attempt to be palatable to the broader population, and this AIN'T WHAT 'BAGGERS WANT.

11. The only black people who showed up were there out of curiosity.

Oh, and there was the black singer who I'm sure was paid to be there. The point is, the crowd was all white, because minorities understand that a Right Wing white guy who talks about "reclaiming MLK's dream" is not exactly on their side.

What black person in their right mind would be a Beck fan? That's a better question.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. A local event we went to as part of Billionaires for Wealth Care

had three... one was on stage, one was selling shirts. and one was there because he wanted to.

You are right... hell I felt it, and the only thing I have is an accent.

15. He has compared himself to MLK before.

He has said things like that on his show, but recently he changed the story and denied that it had anything to do with MLK's speech.

16. Actually he has

a few times. When he said he was for recapturing the civil rights movement to their rightful owners.

Try to clean those ears.

Or rather, try to google this up... you might be surprised. By the way... code is not code when it is understood.

21. You missed what Beck meant by that

[LAGC]

30. Trolling tonight are we?

Tell me, what "honor" was restored this morning? What "honor" was ever lost?

Don't you think your country is honorable? Do you really hate your country that much? Are you even an American?

[gratuitous]

8. Uhm, no . . .

And welcome to DU, uh, suckit. See, Al Sharpton doesn't claim to speak for the wide, vast variety of all Americans, something that Beck says all the time about his Beckerheads or Beckerwoods or whatever they call themselves. So, see, if you're going to claim that you're assuming the mantel of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it helps a great deal if the ratio of black people on the stage to black people in the audience isn't 10-1 or higher.

Does that make it any clearer for you? I suspect you don't read very quickly, so I tried to compensate by typing slowly.

[boppers]

9. blacks, yes.

As "strange fruit".

These people should be watched.

14. Can you explain the appeal of Glenn Beck?

What is it that you like about him? Is it because he gets emotional? Does he actually make any sense to you at all? To me, he sounds crazy and incoherent.

23. Well for starters this nation was founded by a bunch of

Deists, who were part of the Enlightenment and quite in line whit the Scottish Enlightenment.

They also believed in separation of church and state because of the damn religious wars of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Let me go into another little factoid I am sure he will not go into. We had white slaves in North America... and quite the trade in them... the Borderer Irish came in many cases as indentured servants, or sent here by the crown as criminals...

Oh and unlike Beck I actually have the sheep skin to back this up.

[Mendocino]

25. Time for a pizza.

Does your Momma know your up at this hour?

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. I've alerted.

This troll isn't even very fun.

[Quantess]

27. Glenn Beck lies often. I'm sorry you've been duped.

22. What's the matter? Freeperville too slow tonight?

I'm guessing you are a sausage and extra cheese man.

[nadinbrzezinski]

24. I am actually trying to teach here

Sheesh!!!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. Your pupil is failing

LOL!

[nadinbrzezinski]

29. I cannot help it

I try...

[proud2BlibKansan]

33. I'm using a value added evaluation

You're fired.

[nadinbrzezinski]

37. Apparently so are the mods

Okay.

[Quantess]

31. I know. I feel sorry for him.

[nadinbrzezinski]

32. Cleanup on Aisle five has been taken care off

that was FAST.

[Mendocino]

34. Darn, this was like a cat

that plays with the mouse it caught, but bites down too hard and kills the little bugger. I'll have to look at the other dozens of Beck threads and toss him around some more.

[LAGC]

36. Too late, he's been TS'ed.

[northofdenali]

35. When Sarah Palin was mayor of Wasillia

She wanted to burn books.

'nuff said?
