P.S. You better believe I know the answers to all the questions you posed, AND THEN SOME, and I'd be willing to discuss them with you when you’re ready for a real history lesson.

Peace.

It's called Common Nonsense Glenn Beck and the Triumph of Ignorance.

It's well documented and a very sane piece of writing.

Alveda King is not the first person to be exploited by Beck, and she will hardly be the last.

You will have to do much better than telling me to “look into what’s being said instead of what you think you see based on propaganda and reverse rhetoric.” You have not proven anything that counters what appears to be an obvious attempt to hijack a movement (civil rights) in similiar fasion as the Tea Party’s, which was overthrown by right-wing nuts, extremists, and ultra conservatives. How quickly “we” become masters at that which is perpetrated upon “us”.

I’m thrilled to know that you love all of your brothers in Christ, equally. That must be why you have no problem seeing the love in people who project no such thing; you see yourself and that’s a beautiful quality, but imagine MLK Jr. adopting such a resolute demeanor during a time where he had to fight for the very rights most conservatives were and still are against, today.

In case you still can’t comprehend, since I’m unsure of what era you grew up in, the people who were MLK’s lifelong enemies were called conservatives. Regardless of party affiliation claimed, conservatives were against practically everything MLK and those like him stood for. Civil and equal rights.

I suggest you visit your local library and read up on the Southern Strategy.

There's also the fact that if the Tea Party had any principles, they wouldn't be basing their political ideology on Fear, Lies, and Elements of Bigotry. You think just because Martin Luther King's right-wing, CONSERVATIVE niece will be in attendance at the rally, it automatically earns the civil rights seal of approval? You're sadly mistaken. It doesn't lend an ounce of credibility or credence to the real purpose behind the event. The fact that Sarah Palin will be speaking along side Beck speaks volumes without her having to open her mouth even once.

It doesn't change a thing in my mind. It also doesn't change the fact that most of the people who embrace Beck never check facts to back up the claims he makes.

You need to get your mind right and stop acting like a Beckerhead.

AND WHEN EXACTLY HAS GLENN BECK "DONE MORE FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS", AND WHAT EXACTLY HAS THIS CLOWN DONE?

In fact, don't answer that because you have already displayed a glaring absense of knowledge and history. If you TRULY believe that Glenn Beck has done more for black people then you don’t pay attention to history, and you don’t know anything about his religion. For decades, Mormons believed that black people were cursed by God. (Black people had the mark of Cain) Mormons did not allow black men to share full membership in the church until 1978. They were forced to over the threat of a boycott of BYU football games. I've written about this before. Do yourself a favor and go read it, http://studwithswag.com/224/lds/

I'm not a member of anyone's media, but I do appreciate you comparing me to an actual, respected, media outlet.

Glenn Beck isn't my favorite or least favorite person. He is however disparaging the memory of a truly awesome moment in American history. A moment made possible not only by Martin Luther King Jr, but also his friends, who among them was an openly gay black man. He has been credited with being the single force behind that particular march. This black man would likely be considered with great disdain by Glenn Beck, his religion, and most of his viewers just for his sexual preference. Glenn Beck, representing the Tea Party, claims to want to take back the civil rights movement, but he hasn't said who he wants to take it back from, nor has anyone in the Tea Party. Do you want to take it back from the blacks, the gays…. who!?

Just because you don't see anything wrong with it doesn't make you, or Glenn Beck, right.

What evidence do you believe I am lacking? Cite the references you're in disagreement with, then I can address them. You've said a whole lot of nothing in your reply, but I'll do my best to address what I was able to follow.

"I mean seriously anyone who can reasonably prove black citizens who voted in the 1700’s, not to mention the black persons who fought for America’s independence and authentically buried with military honors."

Can you clarify that statement? It makes no sense and I don't understand what you're attempting to prove or disprove by making it.

No one, including myself, said anything to the effect of… "the Navy is racist." Stop making stuff up. Your reply, as a whole, is hard to follow, and you haven't even addressed any of my stated opinion or any of the assertions I make within this posting.

I was not only bothered, but also distrubed when I was forced to watch and listen to a few of Glen Beck's programs. It would appear to me that you are a faithful viewer. You make just as little sense as Mr. Beck, but thankfully you're just responding to my little old political commentary.

But honestly, I don’t trust Mr. Beck right away… but neither do I really trust you.

I’ve watched Mr. Beck’s program before and one thing he did, that you are lacking, is provide evidence.

From what I’ve seen Mr. Glenn Beck is kinda eccentric… but he tries to be authentic. I mean seriously anyone who can reasonably prove black citizens who voted in the 1700’s, not to mention the black persons who fought for America’s independence and authentically buried with military honors.

Now it could be simply be fluff to expose said things… but being a military vet myself, I appreciate it. the Navy might well be High School Redux… but one thing we’re not as a whole is racist.

I give my respect to MM(3?,2?,1?) Washington from DC. So hardcore he could read a full hard back book in one day (and did so too) and still drink me under the table.

Well as an Ending Sun-Tzu said: Keep your friends close, your enemies closer… and it would seem to me that someone hasn’t even bothered to watch Mr. Glenn Beck’s program… Again as it would APPEAR to me.
