Glenn Beck's "United in Hatred" Protest

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYcMbt3TRcE&feature=sub

This is truly a disgrace to America. Never before has our country been more divided by partisanship and idiocy. George Washington and his fellow founding fathers must be turning in their graves right now.

Good for Glenn Beck. I wonder how many people actually listen to him anymore...hamstergeddon

MSNBC... lawl. :)

Would have been better if MSNBC was there handing out their merchandise at that rally. ;)

Could you be anymore reactionary :roll: I swear, it's almost predictable what the Glenn Beck listener's response is going to be in a thread like this

Internet is serious business, eh?

He's so "radical". Cowabonga, man. :roll:

I hate pundits. So a guy gets paid to be an obnoxious, overinflated windbag?PannicAtack

These people make Republicans and conservatives look like racist, xenophobic, d-bags even though their are hard-working, honest Republicans and conservative that aren't hatred-based.

I forgot this, but the Republicans are going to have to decide where they want to go as a party. Do they want to be the party of Rush Limbaughs, Michael Savages, Glenn Becks, and Sean Hannitys. Or do they want to get back the mainstream vote with reasonable policies and debate instead of hate.

I have A LOT of dislike for Glenn Beck, but I agree with you.

Ah yes. "Good for Glenn Beck", the self-anointed arbiter of American morality.

Whenever he presumes to tell America what it should and shouldn't deem appropriate, just remember this.

Looks like it's going to be the former. Joe Wilson aside, Republicans were not being too open or respectful during Obama's speech. Based on the way they acted there, it seems like the only thing they're going to vote for would be a bill with a mandate for people to buy insurance, cross-state markets, and malpractice reform, which basically amounts to a bailout for the insurance industry anyways, one they don't need, in that it just forces citizens to buy into existing plans without doing one thing about price control or competition. Anything more or less seems to be a killswitch for Republicans, which makes me wonder why we're even talking about negotiating with them. If we had actually shoved this reform through quickly without any Republican support we could probably be touting its merits sooner rather than later and use the fact that they boycotted the vote against them in the elections, instead we're stuck here pandering to their demands because moderate Dems are afraid of the carpetbagging tea party movement.

Savage does not belong with the other 3. You've obviously never heard his show or read his books.

Says the man with "Why so socialist" in his sig... :roll:

Glenn Beck is the ultimate proof that you don't have to have any credibility, or be sane to be on cable news. I'm still waiting for Bob (my local tinfoil hat wearing hobo) will get his own cable news show. clubsammich91

This is true. So long as you say things they like hearing, it doesn't matter where it comes from. How else do you think self-help gurus and tele-evangelists do so well? 'Qualifications' are overrated anyhow.

What's up with liberals wanting to take away our freedom of speech? Oh that's right, if democrats say it, than it must be rightOblivionfan10

Somehow I missed the point where asking for respectful and constructive discourse turned into wanting to take away freedom of speech.

Exactly. The founding fathers would be smiling not turning...

There were TONS of people at these protests...they aren't all crazy, unfortunately the media misrepresented the protesters and people like Glenn Beck became associated with starting the movement, which is a false assumption. Of course there were people at the protest who were over the top radical, but believe it or not, those people were heavily outnumbered by everyday people on both sides of the spectrum...

That's freaking ridiculous... it doesn't matter if you think Obama is the worst president in American history, he wasn't as bad as Hitler Stalin, or Mao....Setsa

Barney Frank basically made the same argument at a town hall, "You're comparing trying to get affordable health care to millions of Americans to committing genocide?" I still can't get over the irony of someone bringing rhetoric of Nazism into a political conversation with a gay Jew.

It's also mind-boggling how people will liken Obama to Hitler while at the same time calling him a Socialist. I saw one picture of a protester who had a sign with pictures of Hitler Obama, and Lenin, with the words "National Socialism, Democratic Socialism, Marxist Socialism."

I don't care how much you hate Obama, that's just stupid. >_>

"on 9/12 did people compare george bush to hitler...."

Nope. But they certainly did it after that date. :)

Damn protesters. So un-original.

Really? Hmm.

OMG Bush = Hitler!!

OMG Obama = Hitler!!

I agree when they say "same **** different pile", but not in reference to what they were intending.

Well, at least they didn't compare Bush to Hitler and Stalin simultaneously.PannicAtack

Well... umm... ya'know... Yeah.

I see a lot of people accusing Glenn Beck of lying.

Could you please name a few lies that he has told, so I can check them out..

I admit defeat.

I do certainly recall running into someone who opposed Bush on the basis that he was a liberal.
