Glenn Beck Takes His Fables on the Road

"MLK's So-Called Birth Certificate"

The radio host and fable-izer Glenn Beck held his big rally in the nation's capital, steps away from the President's house and atop the ground where Martin Luther King made memories. He reportedly kept to moral themes and vague chatter about restoring America, and one can only assume that the proximity to President Obama, who he has been trashing for months on end, has caused a certain amount of rhetorical restraint. You don't want to look too much the embodiment of oxymoron when you are leaning on the actions (Obama) and words (MLK) of blacks to propel your career and self image and message of hate forward.

There was a noticeable absence of blacks in this supposed American rally, but we hardly think that would matter to the enthusiasts, who have the mental dexterity to trash, disregard, and leap over the living blacks, while praising the dead one. It was the type of family event to bring your kids to, so that you could pass down all your vague, illogical concerns to the next generation.

From Huffington Post:

Ricky Thomas, 43, a SWAT team police officer from Chesapeake Beach, Md., brought his 10-year old son Chase to the Beck rally. "I wanted my son to see democracy in action," Thomas said.

He said he wants government to stay out of people's lives. He acknowledged that he works for government, but said it's "a part of government that helps people when they are in trouble."

 Better publicity money can't by.
