Though Beck told his 9-12ers to keep their Signs and Guns at Home, they could NOT contain their Hatred!


Though Beck told his 9-12ers to keep their signs and guns at home, they could not contain their hatred, especially of the President, Al Sharpton's group they termed "Black Panthers", and Latinos/Immigrants! Of all, they HATE our President the most! They cannot contain their Hatred or Anger towards him! They also are Birthers and they believe he is a Muslim.

Yet they don't want anyone to think they are "Crackpots!" (LOL)

The weirdest part of the entire video of these Beck 9-12ers is the fact that they are not familiar with the fact that Beck himself said President Obama is a "racist" with a "deep-seated hatred for white people." Odd. They quote Beck verbatim on many things but don't "recall" these statements. Watch the video. It's VERY INTERESTING!

Eggs for Breakfast? Why Beck's Sponsors, the Koch Brothers, are WRONG! We Need Regulations!

Boston.com Reports: FDA says 2 egg farms violated standards
WASHINGTON — Food and Drug Administration investigators have found rodents, seeping manure, and even maggots at the Iowa egg farms believed to be responsible for as many as 1,500 cases of salmonella poisoning. FDA officials released their initial observations of the investigations at Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms yesterday. The two farms recalled more than half a billion eggs after salmonella illnesses were linked to their products earlier this month.

The reports show many different possible sources of contamination at both farms, including rodent, bug, and wild bird infestation, uncontained manure, holes in walls, and other problems that could have caused the outbreak. Several positive samples of salmonella have been found at both farms.

The agency released the initial observations as their investigations concluded yesterday. Officials said they still cannot speculate on the cause of the outbreak but said the farms not only violated their own standards but also new egg rules put in place this summer.

Among the observations of the investigators:
■ Live rodents and mice at both farms;
■ Structural damage and holes in many locations at both farms, allowing wildlife access;
■ Escaped chickens tracking manure through the houses;
■ Employees not changing clothing properly when moving from one location to another and not sanitizing equipment properly;
■ Dead and live maggots “too numerous to count’’ on the manure pit floor in one location at Wright County Egg;
■ Manure piled 4 to 8 feet high in five locations at Wright County Egg, pushing open doors that allowed wildlife to enter the laying houses;
■ Nonchicken feathers in a laying house and wild birds flying in and out of two facilities at Wright County Egg;
■ Manure seeping through the foundation to the outside of laying houses in 13 locations at Wright County Egg;
■ Rusted holes in feed bins and birds flying over the feed bins at Wright County Egg.

More Hate Crimes: Tennesse - Fire at Mosque Construction Site

Hate Crimes: MURFREESBORO, TN (NBC) - Agents from the FBI and ATF are asking for help from the public in solving the arson at the future site of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. A piece of construction equipment at the site was set on fire Friday night. Others were drenched in what appeared to be possibly gasoline, officials said. The Rutherford County Sheriff's Department is also investigating a complaint about shots being fired near the site Sunday afternoon. It's the second time in six months someone has targeted the site. Last time, signs were broken and spray-painted.

Chris Rock is Right: Tea Party Activists Support Glenn Beck's Segregationist Views

Chris Rock was right when he said, "They've been asking me to join them in their fight against the Mexicans but I ain't gonna do it because I know when they kick out all the Mexicans, we're Next!"

Rock is absolutely right and this is proven in the statements of Tea Party Champion Glenn Beck. Now Tea Party activists are saying they agree with Beck! Beck and his taking back the Civil Rights Movement!

DOJ Breathing Hard Down Arpaio's Neck re: Racial Profiling Indictment

Joe Arpaio Gets New Deadline from DOJ; County Offers Its Subpoena Power To Feds

The U.S. Department of Justice has given Sheriff Joe Arpaio a deadline in his Racial Profiling/Abuse of Power Charges. The deadline to produce required documents is September 10. To date, Arpaio has been non-compliant with the investigation. The DOJ has put it's foot down. They want access to various records, MCSO facilities, and MCSO employees, particularly for the ACLU's lawsuit Melendres vs. Arpaio, which is still ongoing and alleges a pattern of racial profiling by the MCSO during their controversial anti-immigrant sweeps in Latino neighborhoods. The DOJ asked for a "clear and unequivocal agreement to cooperate" no later than the close of business September 10.

The Melendres vs Arpaio case is significant. The complaint goes to the heart of the DOJ indictment - Racial Profiling of Latino Neighborhoods and disparate treatment for people of color. READ THE COMPLAINT. There are multiple plaintiffs in this case, including: Manuel Melendres - a Legal Visitor from Mexico, Jessica and David Rodriguez - Legal Citizens, Manuel Nieto - Legal Resident and Somos America who speaks for numerous Latinos who the complaint says were racially profiled during suppression sweeps by Arpaio and his masked volunteers in Latino neighborhoods in Maricopa County.

The DATE is set - September 10. That is Arpaio's deadline set by the DOJ to produce documents. However Arpaio's lawyer (shaking in his boots & knowing Arpaio's culpability) is resisting. Regardless the resistance, Officials in Maricopa County are offering the DOJ assistance.

At stake are federal funds received by Maricopa County. These are governed by Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which "prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in programs receiving federal financial assistance," the DOJ's Web site explains. According to Maricopa County Communications Director Cari Gerchick, the county receives around $113 million dollars in Federal Aid, including $50 million that goes to public health programs. All this could potentially be in jeopardy because of Arpaio's defiance of the DOJ.


Indeed, the county is so eager for Arpaio to play ball with the Feds that it recently fired off a letter to the DOJ offering to help by using the Board of Supervisors' subpoena power to force the MCSO to comply. County Manager David Smith advised Arpaio of its letter to the DOJ on August 12. In Smith's letter to Arpaio, he tells the MCSO that "it may not expend any public funds, including expenses for outside counsel, to resist any DOJ Title VI inquiry." Smith warns Arpaio that the county "will not pay any invoices for attorneys who assist you in any effort to resist a Title VI inquiry."

It is no wonder Driscoll replied so quickly to the Smith letter. In a snitty hate-gram sent via e-mail (read it, here), Driscoll snapped that Arpaio "does not report to you, or to the Board of Supervisors."

Now the stage is set. The DOJ has laid down the gauntlet. Arpaio and his attorneys have until Sept. 10, 2010 to respond. Let them produce the documentation. Let the DOJ sift through their documents. Then LET'S INDICT THE EVIL SHERIFF & HIS MASKED GOONS AND LET THEM SPEND YEARS IN THEIR OWN DEPLORABLE PRISON CONDITIONS!

Original Video: Huckster Beck Says he is Reclaiming the Civil Rights Movement

Here it is. Here is the Proof. (click here for video)
On this video, Huckster Beck said HE is "reclaiming the civil rights movement."

In his own words he ridicules Bertha Lewis, the acclaimed, Award wining Civil Rights activist who is African American. Ms. Lewis was in Arizona, protesting the heinous sb1070 law, arm in arm with other Humanitarian supporters. She was arrested, as Martin Luther King was arrested as he supported Human Rights, singing "We Shall Overcome."

Huckster Beck had the audacity to ridicule Humanitarian Lewis. As we all know, sb1070 is a heinous, racial profiling law. Many Humanitarians across the country are protesting this racial profiling bill. Sheriff Arpaio is under investigation for Racial Profiling of Latino neighborhoods in Maricopa County. Additionally, sb1070 not only racially profiles - calling for Mass Deportation via Attrition through Enforcement, it also criminalizes Friends and Family by imposing a $1000 fine and Class C misdemeanor for anyone giving a friend a ride. Additionally it makes Border Patrol agents out of every day citizens by having them call in anyone they see as an "illeegal." And if the police don't come, they can sue the police. Even the police are against this heinous bill, yet Huckster Beck ridicules a Humanitarian Civil Rights advocate like Bertha Lewis for supporting it.

Next, Huckster Beck weaves his bogus narrative saying Lewis, by opposing racial profiling bill sb1070 is supporting "modern day slavery." What an outrageous and lying claim. Lewis supports Comprehensive Immigration Reform which includes arresting exploiting employers who exploit their workers. For Beck to use this terminology towards an African American who is supporting Human Rights is the worst kind of racism.

Finally, for Beck to say he is on the "right side of History" and he is "reclaiming the civil rights movement" and "we will take that movement because we are the people who did it in the first place." He is truly painting the world upside down and he is living in the Bizarro world. The only way his statements can be made true is if we are facing the End of Times, he does start his Race War, he is the Anti-Christ, he and Palin become President & VP and we revert to an All White Mayberrian Culture where Jim Crow laws are in place and all minorities go to the Back of the Bus AGAIN.

Guest Voz - Maegan from Vivir Latino - An Introspective on the "Ground Zero Mosque"

Guest Voz - Maegan La Mala - NY City from Vivir Latino:
Defining Tragedies, Respect, and Sanctity
I have held my tongue about the Cordova House, Ground Zero Mosque (which isn’t really at Ground Zero or precisely just a mosque), or whatever the hatemongers are calling it nowadays. Who the hell cares or needs to hear/read my thoughts on the matter. As I planned to go to downtown Manhattan yesterday, and every media outlet I turned on or flipped open was screaming about “THE MOSQUE!” as if it would come and eat your babies, as I listened to, watched and read people who had tons of opinions, I couldn’t bring myself to go downtown, even if it was a Burlington Coat Factory. I get a knot in my stomach. Nervios. Trauma. Remembering.

I am a 9-11-01 survivor. I wasn’t in the WTC but on my way to work and trapped in the subway for what felt like forever as the towers fell above. When I emerged from the tunnels, it was into a new world, a world that I am resentful of because of the way people have twisted history and the meaning of words like tragedy, sanctity, and respect.

My mother is a 9-11-01 survivor. As soon as she felt the plane reverberate against the tower where she worked as a store manager she evacuated her staff. She didn’t wait for directives. She knew because she had survived the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993.

In 2001 there were hours where my mother and I didn’t know if the other was alive. We both returned to our jobs to find that colleagues we dealt with daily were dead. I dealt with Cantor-Fitzgerald daily and my mother remembers people jumping from the towers and yet we felt and feel blessed that we didn’t lose family.

I have written about 9-11 almost every year since. Not just because of my personal connection to 2001 but because of my personal connection to 1973 and other 9-11′s that have been co-opted by U.S. egocentrism. As if the thousands lost in Downtown Manhattan were more valuable than the thousands disappeared and dead thanks to a U.S. sponsored coup. As if the thousands of lives lost (and counting) in Iraq and Afghanistan have made it “even”. Who gets to define who owns a tragedy, as if it were accidental, not the result of complicated global factors?

Since 9-11-01 and quite by accident, I work very closely with a Muslim community, specifically students, whom I have sat with now for years and watched them grow and sadly, struggle. Where is the and respect for the 14 year old high schooler who has been called a “terrorist” in the lunchroom more than once by other students in what is considered one of top schools in the country? I am always encouraging her to take advantage of the wonderful city where we live, seeing she is somewhat shy. Seeing, watching, and hearing the way people have been talking about Islam and it’s followers makes me want to just hold her, her parents and the entire community of their mosque, whose routines, rituals, and cycles have entered my consciousness.

And the sacred….there are hundreds of years before 2001 and countless deaths that merit calling any and all of the ground below all of our feet here in the United States hallowed and sacred. Imperialism, colonialism, U.S. nationalism. Ground Zero, a former Burlington Coat Factory, a closed subway station, African burial ground, Native burial ground, invaded land….generations upon generations have laid claim to sacred space on top the corpses of “others”. The assumption of the white Christianity of the dead of 9-11-01 is what is being used to make this a sacrilege, a disrespect, an exploitation of a tragedy.

I struggle with going anywhere near Ground Zero. My mother too but we have sat down and talked about this. None of us care if it’s a mosque or a community center with a mosque part, a community center with a prayer hall. What we care about is the ignorance and hate we see, hear and read. How our own personal experience and the experiences of other on 9-11-01 is being highjacked by thought terrorists.

Cordova House : we support you.

What is the point of this, Debbie Craig? Why are you helping to spread this misleading garbage all over the internet?? Frank Jorge sued Chelene and her husband in small claims court last year over a personal loan/gift of $6000 three years ago that hasn't been fully repaid yet. Jorge insisted on giving them the money when they were going through a family and financial crisis with their teenage daughter in 2007. There was never a set repayment date. Last year when the Nightingale's finances finally started to improve, they began sending Jorge payments, but he refused to take them, instead filing suit against Chelene in a blatant attempt to hurt her campaign. He even lied to the court and said they were not paying him after he refused to take their checks. And he and a few other agent provocateurs and Chelene haters in CA have been lying about this all over the internet for the past year with their personal smear attacks on Chelene. They have even called her a thief and a criminal. Despicable behavior by supposedly grown men.

Frank Jorge has been terrorizing Chelene constantly this year including a series of harassing phone calls to her cell phone recently, AFTER he got his court judgment. His harassing activities have been reported to the appropriate authorities. Apparently Jorge will not be satisfied unless Chelene drops out of the race, which will not be happening.

So why are you spreading their propaganda, Debbie? Do you and MMP condone this abuse of the courts and sleazy left-wing smears to attack Patriot candidates running for office? Wasn't it you, Debbie Craig, who tried to smear Tom Tancredo last year when you falsely tried to link him and Carl Braun to Shawn Forde, Jim Gilchrist's MMP Border Director and accused child killer? Did you think everyone had forgotten about that and your blatant lies you said to East County Magazine?

Do tell us, Debbie Craig. Who do you work for in your constant internet smear of real Patriot groups and leaders? Jerry Brown? Meg Whitman? La Raza? George Soros? Jim Gilchrist? All of the above? You are obviously working for the "other side" with your constant false public attacks on good Patriots all over Southern California. Your dirty little deeds over the past 2 years have been well documented for everyone to see. We will continue to monitor you and your low life associates and report on all of your subversive activities. Continue your little political games at your own risk.

Bcc: CA Leaders and Patriots.

Gov Jan "La Bruja" Brewer Cries Crocodile Tears Because her Racial Profiling Bill is on International Report

HP Reports:
Gov. Jan "La Bruja" Brewer stomped her foot Friday saying a reference to the state's controversial racial profiling sb10708 law be removed from a State Department report to the United Nations' human rights commissioner. The U.S. included its legal challenge to the law on a list of ways the federal government is protecting human rights.

In a cry-baby letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Brewer wailed it is "downright offensive" that her (and Arpaio's) rampant racial profiling law would be included in the report, which was drafted as part of a UN review of human rights in all member nations every four years. "The idea that our own AZ Racial Profiling law being submitted to 'review' by the United Nations is internationalism run amok and unconstitutional," Brewer wrote.

Arizona's law generally requires police, like arpaio and his masked goons, go to latino neighborhoods to supposedly enforce other laws during their suppression sweeps of latino neighborhoods to investigate the immigration status of people they suspect are illegal immigrants.

Arpaio routinely targets Latino neighborhoods during his suppression sweeps of Latino neighborhoods. Raicst and extremist supporters of sb1070, including Brewer, say the law prohibits racial profiling and other human rights abuses.

The U.S. Justice Department sued to block the measure, arguing federal law trumps the state's authority to enforce immigration laws. A federal judge in July sided with the Justice Department and blocked enforcement of the law's most controversial provisions a day before it was scheduled to take effect.


Update: Turns out La Bruja's foot stomping was just a media stunt. Here is the statement she was supposedly so upset about: "A recent Arizona law, S.B. 1070, has generated significant attention and debate at home and around the world. The issue is being addressed in a court action that argues that the federal government has the authority to set and enforce immigration law. That action is ongoing; parts of the law are currently enjoined." Looks like La Bruja was just trying to get attention and sympathy for her cause.. over nothing!

Channeling Elmer Gantry: Gantry Shares with me his Discussion with Glenn Beck and Beck's True Motives

I remember watching the movie Elmer Gantry when I was a little girl. Burt Lancaster personified the charlatan, the huckster. My 11 year old eyes could not believe anyone could be that evil, that duplicitous, that Machiavellian.
Since I was such a fan of the movie, Elmer decided to speak to me last evening and share with me his discussion with Glenn Beck as Beck prepared for the 8-28 "Take Back the Civil Rights Movement" rally.
DPS (Dee Perez Scott): Welcome to our forum Elmer. Glad to have you here. Yesterday was Glenn Beck's "Take Back the Civil Rights Movement" rally and we understand that he channelled you in preparing for the event.
EG (Elmer Gantry): Yes, Dee. That's True. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah!
DPS: Elmer, Please share with us the discussions you have had with Beck.
EG: Hallelujah girl. Yes. I will share my discussions with him. That Beck is truly a character, an Arrogant man. A man much like myself. He first reached out to me during one of his radio shows. Hallelujah! He calls me Lord. Why? Because he is so much like myself. What he told me was truly profound. He said he wanted to Channel my style because he was about to embark on the Carney Event of his life.
DPS: Carney Event?
EG: Praise the Lord. Yes. Carney Event. That is what we do child! That is what we do!! We are like the Carneys on the Midway of Life! Beck's Midway is the Heartland of America, the Tea Parties. Like all Carney's, we are funded by a higher power, the owners of our message. In Beck's case, Rupert Murdoch and the Koch Brothers.
DPS: Tell us more.
EG: Thank you for the opportunity Darlin! Beck needs to be exposed for the remarkable, truly remarkable Huckster that he is. He has a magnetic power. He draws the naive and uninformed, like any good Carney.
His magnetism is even stronger, due to the many conflicts in his life. I cannot say these words aloud. Let me whisper them to you girl! pssst whisper whisper...family...pssst..whisper whisper...mental illness...pssst whisper.. suicide..whisper.....drugs....power....whisper...brainwash racists......teapartiers....whisper... shhhhtttt.
DPS: Oh My!
EG: Yes!!! It is all True! It is ALL True! And now, this poor sick Beck boy is being funded by the richest powers in the world, all for their OWN EVIL PURPOSE! By Murdoch who owns Fox News! By the Koch Brothers... the most extreme, richest, elitist, demagogues in the world!
Beck shared with me that when he colluded with the Koch brothers that they intentionally chose Martin Luther King. They intentionally chose demonizing the Civil Rights Movement. Their plan was to invoke what was previously treated as sacred ground. "Let's make the Blacks angry. Let's take away Martin Luther King. Let's take back the Civil Rights Movement. Let's use the racist element of the Tea Party Movement, the White Nationalists. Those that HATE the President because he is Black. Let's use Christianity. Let's use God against them. Let's pretend to preach." That is why they had Beck channel me. They knew I had done the same to steal money from my followers. In fact, the evil Koch brothers are anxious to stir up a Race War!
DPS: Wow! This is fantastic. Too much to absorb at once. But tell me Elmer. Even you, with all of your evil ways, your evil manipulation, greed and duplicitousness, have never sunk to such lows. Why are YOU involved with all of these evil demagogues?

EG: Well it was Beck himself that convinced me. Apparently he is a FAN of mine. He himself says he is a carney. He shared with me his need for fame. He shared with me that he had numerous, blind following fans. He came to me and told me about the deep pocketed protagonists, including Murdoch and the Koch Brothers. They approached Beck. They met with him in private. They told him of their agenda and the billions they were willing to invest in him. They shared with him that they wanted to elevate his fame to the level of demigod. What some may call the Anti-Christ. It was just too much for Beck, or anyone, to absorb. They paid him billions and promised him fame and glory. How could he refuse? How could ANYONE refuse??
DPS: I agree with you that with Beck's need for attention due to all the unfortunate things that happened in his childhood AND his mental illness that he was looking for his own personal fame, his own rationalization that he was "OK" that he took such a visible job in the media and with his mental illness, continued to manifest itself, he continued to seek attention and rationalization in what he was attempting to accomplish. I can understand why he is YOUR fan... But why EG, Why are you allowing him to use YOUR Name?
EG: You have me here. Frankly. Right now. I am just curious about what they are planning next in their agenda. I am curious why Murdoch or the Koch brothers have brought in Beck. Why are they having a nutcase, Beck, push their radical agenda. They refuse to have any obvious connection to him. YET, they are putting him and the other radical -- Palin (who sees Russia from her backyard) represent their agenda. Murdoch & the Koch brothers have made sure no one knows their connections.
DPS: True! Very True!
EG: And, much more..now they have Beck channeling Martin Luther King,taking over and MINIMIZING the Civil Rights Movement. Who Better than Beck! The Left and Center believe he is INSANE. The right and Teapartiers believe he is the next Messiah. Who better to say he is channeling Martin Luther King? Who better to say he is taking over the Civil Rights Movement? What does he have to lose? The left and middle think he is crazy. The Tea Partiers have chosen him as their leader. They believe anything he says as Gospel. There is no one left to agree or dispute him. But think of this. The MESSAGE IS OUT THERE. How better to DIVIDE the Country.
DPS: Wow! When you say it, it makes so much sense. Of course the Koch's and Murdoch would use Beck. This is a brilliant plan.
I do have one question for you though Elmer.
EG: What is that girl?
DPS: Are you a Glenn Beck supporter?
EG: Heh Heh Heh! Of course not. He is but a mentally ill pawn of the rich, right wing elitists. In my heart of hearts, I still support the People, as long as I can make money out of it, but I would NEVER, EVER support the right wing extremists. Beck, on the other hand, will continue to do the bidding of the evil right wingers. Why? Because the poor boy is far too demented. He is still seeking his own fame and glory. However, he will continue to be lost until he finds his OWN redemption!

DPS: Elmer, I want to thank you for our interview. You have provided me several insights, especially into the mindset of Glenn Beck.
EG: Dee, you are most welcome. I read your site every day and you are the only person who truly has their fingers on the pulse of what is happening in America.
DPS: I am humbled by your words. (wink)

The Billionaires Bankrolling Charlatan Glenn Beck & the Tea Party

Reference: New Yorker & NY Times
Billionaire brothers David and Charles Koch founded and fund the tea party group "Americans for Prosperity Foundation." The AFP funded Glenn Beck's "Take the Civil Rights Movement Back from Black Americans" rally this weekend. The Koch brothers also fund extremist Republican Dick Armey's Freedom Works Tea Party group. Both AFP and FW organized the well-staged Beck Tea Party event this weekend.

In Washington, the Koch brothers are best known as those that have repeatedly funded stealth attacks on the federal government, and on the Obama Administration in particular. David Koch and his brother Charles own Koch Industries, a conglomerate, headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, whose annual revenues are estimated to be a hundred billion dollars. The Kochs operate oil refineries in Alaska, Texas, and Minnesota, and control some four thousand miles of pipeline. Koch Industries owns Brawny paper towels, Dixie cups, Georgia-Pacific lumber, Stainmaster carpet, and Lycra, among other products. Forbes ranks it as the second-largest private company in the country, after Cargill, and its consistent profitability has made David and Charles Koch— among the richest men in America. Their combined fortune of thirty-five billion dollars is exceeded only by those of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

The Kochs believe in drastically lower personal and corporate taxes, minimal social services for the needy, and much less oversight of industry—especially environmental regulation. Their corporation significantly benefits from reduced government regulations. In a study released this spring, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst’s Political Economy Research Institute named Koch Industries one of the top ten air polluters in the United States. And Greenpeace issued a report identifying the company as a “kingpin of climate science denial.” The report showed that, from 2005 to 2008, the Kochs vastly outdid ExxonMobil in giving money to organizations fighting legislation related to climate change, underwriting a huge network of foundations, think tanks, and political front groups. Indeed, the brothers have funded opposition campaigns against so many Obama Administration policies—from health-care reform to the economic-stimulus program—that, in political circles, their ideological network is known as the Kochtopus. Charles Lewis, the founder of the Center for Public Integrity, a nonpartisan watchdog group, said, “The Kochs are on a whole different level. There’s no one else who has spent this much money. The sheer dimension of it is what sets them apart. The Koch brothers have a pattern of lawbreaking, political manipulation, and obfuscation. I’ve been in Washington since Watergate, and I’ve never seen anything like it. They are the Standard Oil of our times.

The Koch brothers are Founders and funders of the Right Wing Extremist Tea Party group "Americans for Prosperity Foundation (AFP)—an organization that David Koch started, in 2004. The other major sponsor of the Tea Party movement is Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks, which, like Americans for Prosperity, is promoting Beck's events in Washington this weekend. Under its original name, Citizens for a Sound Economy, FreedomWorks received $12 million from Koch family foundations. Using tax records, researchers found that Koch-controlled foundations gave out $196 million from 1998 to 2008, much of it to conservative causes and institutions. That figure doesn’t include $50 million in Koch Industries lobbying and $4.8 million in campaign contributions by its political action committee, putting it first among energy company peers like Exxon Mobil and Chevron. Since tax law permits anonymous personal donations to nonprofit political groups, these figures may understate the case. The Kochs surely match the in-kind donations the Tea Party receives in free promotion 24/7 from Murdoch’s Fox News, where both Beck and Palin are on the payroll.

In the 1980s, when David Koch ran to the right of Reagan as vice president on the 1980 Libertarian ticket (it polled 1 percent), his campaign called for the abolition not just of Social Security, federal regulatory agencies and welfare but also of the F.B.I., the C.I.A., and public schoolsin other words, any government enterprise that would either inhibit his business profits or increase his taxes. He hasn’t changed. Koch-supported lobbyists, foundations and political operatives are at the center of climate-science denial — a cause that forestalls threats to Koch Industries’ vast fossil fuel business. While Koch foundations donate to cancer hospitals like Memorial Sloan-Kettering in New York, Koch Industries has been lobbying to stop the Environmental Protection Agency from classifying another product important to its bottom line, formaldehyde, as a “known carcinogen” in humans (which it is).

Tea Partiers may share the Kochs’ detestation of taxes, big government and their hatred of President Obama. But there’s a difference between mainstream conservatism and a fringe agenda that tilts completely toward big business, whether on Wall Street or in the Gulf of Mexico, while dismantling fundamental government safety nets designed to protect the unemployed, public health, workplace safety and the subsistence of the elderly.

Yet inexorably the Koch agenda is morphing into the G.O.P. agenda, as articulated by current Republican members of Congress, including the putative next speaker of the House, John Boehner, and Tea Party Senate candidates like Rand Paul, Sharron Angle, and the new kid on the block, Alaska’s anti-Medicaid, anti-unemployment insurance Palin protégé, Joe Miller. Their program opposes a federal deficit, but has no objection to running up trillions in red ink in tax cuts to corporations and the superrich; apologizes to corporate malefactors like BP and derides money put in escrow for oil spill victims as a “slush fund”; opposes the extension of unemployment benefits; and calls for a freeze on federal regulations in an era when abuses in the oil, financial, mining, pharmaceutical and even egg industries (among others) have been outrageous.

The Koch brothers must be laughing all the way to the bank knowing that working (Tea Party) Americans are aiding and abetting their selfish interests. And surely Murdoch is snickering at those protesting the “ground zero mosque.” Last week on “Fox and Friends,” the Bush administration flacks Dan Senor and Dana Perino attacked a supposedly terrorism-tainted Saudi prince whose foundation might contribute to the Islamic center. But as “The Daily Show” keeps pointing out, these Fox bloviators never acknowledge that the evil prince they’re bashing, Walid bin Talal, is not only the biggest non-Murdoch shareholder in Fox News’s parent company (he owns 7 percent of News Corporation) and the recipient of Murdoch mammoth investments in Saudi Arabia but also the subject of lionization elsewhere on Fox.

No less a Murdoch factotum than Neil Cavuto slobbered over bin Talal in a Fox Business Channel interview as recently as January, with nary a question about his supposed terrorist ties. Instead, bin Talal praised Obama’s stance on terrorism and even endorsed the Democrats’ goal of universal health insurance. Do any of the Fox-watching protesters at the “ground zero mosque” know that Fox’s profits are flowing to a Obama-sympathizing Saudi billionaire in bed with Murdoch? As Jon Stewart summed it up, the protesters who want “to cut off funding to the ‘terror mosque’ ” are aiding that funding by watching Fox and enhancing bin Talal’s News Corp. holdings.

The White House has expressed frustration that the names of Tea Party sponsors -- the Koch Brothers -- have largely eluded public notice. David Axelrod, Obama’s senior adviser, said, “What they don’t say is that, in part, this is a grassroots citizens’ movement brought to you by a bunch of oil billionaires” -- like the Koch Brothers who have an agenda!

Elmer Gantry = Huckster & Charlatan Glenn Beck


Here's another clip from the movie Elmer Gantry. You can see how devious this charlatan Gantry is. He is truly a Huckster by the way he slips in and manipulates people with his smooth talking and feigning religion just to take advantage of them later. (As Beck is doing with his "Take Back the Civil Rights Movement" rally today.)

Glenn Beck Channels Elmer Gantry at his "Take Back Civil Rights Movement" Rally Today

I saw Glenn Beck's speech today during his "Take Back the Civil Rights Movement" rally in DC. During his speech, he keeps referring to hearing voices... of "him" talking to Beck. I was trying to figure out who "him" was. I have finally figured it out. The "him" is Elmer Gantry. As I watched Beck speak at the rally, I saw him channel Elmer Gantry. He personified him. He preached like him, sang like him, huckstered like him. Beck IS Elmer Gantry, a charlatan extraordinaire.

Who is Elmer Gantry? CLICK
HERE and HERE to watch two clips of this movie. For anyone who has not seen the movie, Elmer Gantry is a 1960 drama film about a con man and a female evangelist selling religion to small town (All White - Tea Party) America.

Guest Voz - The RB Blog: An Attendee of the Rally

Blogger Observations from Glenn Beck's "Take back the Civil Rights Movement" Rally.
. A good many of the people there had on some kind of American flag paraphernalia on or around them. I saw more than a few confederate t-shirts, hats and small flags. Lots of Tea Party gear and other assorted political stuff.
. I did see some non-white people in the crowd supporting the rally, but it was only a handful. All in all, I saw far more people of color working the vending carts then participating in the event.
. I only caught a few bits of Palin, but in her speech, she likened the rally participants to the civil rights activists who came to the Mall in 1963 to hear King's historic I have a Dream speech. She said it would be the same spirit that helped civil rights activists overcome oppression, discrimination and violence would help the participants of this rally as well. She then repeated some lines from King's speech to wild applause. I have to say it was a bit surreal, a bit like being in a Lewis Carroll novel; watching Sarah Palin invoke the spirit of Dr. King, with his words, on this day, in front of a sea of white faces, to roaring chants of USA! USA! USA! It just didn't seem to fit, and it took my brain a minute to grasp the utter historical mind fuck unfolding in front of me.

. It was obvious to me that Palin and Beck were attempting to take on the role of leaders of a the new 'oppressed' people, contrived to fit the theme of Dr. King's 1963 speech. Phrases like 'what was once ours' and ' take back America' and 'the way things were' and 'trampled on our rights' were heard over and over, and not just by the speakers. Beck's message was in part that the problems that the US suffers today are due in large part to the loss of or lack of faith. He was constantly invoking faith as the weapon with which they, the newly oppressed, could rise and overcome. Overcoming what or whom, he did not say. Palin, in the same manner, likened the attendees of the rally as being in the same conundrum as those from the civil rights movement in the 60's.

. In all honesty, I thought it was quite disrespectful to see Palin and Beck use the civil rights movement and King as a comparison to their own political motives and followers. Furthermore, I found the comparisons being drawn between Beck and the conservatives and Lincoln and the Union in 1863 a bit like comparing an arm wrestling match to the Battle of Stalingrad. It was all very much a pep rally, playing on the emotional strings of the attendees. I think I can boil the entire political message of the rally as one big giant ugly non sequitur. There is a saying that Christians like to use that goes, "Hate the sin, not the sinner." If anything, today I understood what that means from a non Christian perspective.

More Pictures from Beck's "Take Back the Civil Rights Movement from Blacks" Rally

The "Let Freedom Rain" Blog had some pretty good pictures of the attendees of Beck's "Let's Take the Civil Rights Movement back from Blacks" Rally today. Though Beck told his White Audience NOT to carry their signs, it looks like many of them carried their signs on their t-shirts!

This blogger also noted that Beck was sharp enough to hire a few Black speakers and invited (paid) a few to sit in the front rows, but, as we all saw, 99.9% of the audience was all white. (go figure) Makes sense when you READ their t-shirts.

Beck's Right Wing Extremist Tea-Party "Take Back the Civil Rights Movement" Rally Is ALL WHITE (As Predicted) With only a Few Thousand Attending!

Right Wing Extremist Glenn Beck's "Take Back the Civil Rights Movement" Rally is not going as well as he predicted. Beck predicted 200,000 people would attend. The Washington Post is reporting that at 10:00 am ET this morning, when the event was scheduled to start, only a few thousand were there.

The Post reported that at 8 a.m., a few thousand people wearing "Restoring Honor" shirts were streaming down 22nd street from the Foggy Bottom Metro stop, running smack into students from George Washington University's move-in day. At the GW Deli, a popular sandwich shop, an employee said that two rally participants threw sandwiches in his face and refused to pay at the register because they didn't want to pay taxes on the food.

(All White) People came to the Beck rally carried lawn chairs and canes, backpacks and lunch sacks. One man planted an American flag on one side of his hat and a "Don't Tread on Me" flag on the other. Messages on the shirts of ralliers included: "I can see November from my house," "Restoring honor starts here," and "RECESSION: When your neighbor loses his job. DEPRESSION: When you lose your job. RECOVERY: When Obama loses his job."

Looking more like the "Glenn Beck Fan Club", many came just to pay homage to their hero of the emboldened "tea party" movement. At 8:50 a.m., as the crowd spotted him near the Lincoln Memorial, people chanted: "We love Glenn! We love Glenn!"
"I watch Glenn Beck," said Kathy Thomas, 70, a dress-maker from Bridgewater, N.J. "I love Glenn Beck. I have a lot of admiration for the man. We feel that he's honest, sincere and really cares about the country and the people who are in it."
Beck said: "This is a moment, quite honestly, that I think we reclaim the civil rights movement."

Looking over the pictures of the event, not one non-white face was seen. There were few signs, but t-shirts blazed their extreme right, anti-obama politics. One of the pictures taken by the Washington Post of the event depicts a man carrying what appears to be a side-arm. Who knows how many others were "carrying."

Message to All My Viewers: Let's Count the Minorities At Beck's Racist Rally!

Viewers: I will be posting all the updates on the web about Beck's Racist KKK Rally attempting to overthrow Martin Luther King's prestigious "I have a Dream" event on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

I will be capturing pictures of Beck's Racist event.

Let's COUNT the number of Minorities attending Beck's RACIST event.

Let's COUNT the number of RACIST Signs.

Let's COUNT the sidearms/weapons these Racist Extremists are Carrying.

Hopefully the TRUE Supporters of MLKs message will far surpass the zealots from the racist Evil right!

Beck's Racist KKK Tea Party Rally Due to Incite Violence As Racist Beck Continues to Denounce Our Black President!


As Glenn Beck's KKK Tea Party activists and other conservatives began converging on Washington, D.C. vs Al Sharpton's TRUE Civil Rights supporters, the war of words between liberals and conservatives continued to broil.

At the National Mall, plans were under way for the Beck's RACIST KKK Tea Party rally vs Al Sharpton's Truly Patriotic MLK Rally -- both are expected to attract more than 100,000 people. Security was beefed up amid concerns of a clash because Racist Beck's rally coincides with the anniversary of Martin Luther King's speech which Al Sharpton's group is supporting.

The EVIL Beck has shunned righteous criticism from civil rights leaders that holding his rally on this historic day truly tarnishes King's legacy. Beck did not care. Beck has LIED and said the rally will be non-political, but for many attendees, it's all about politics.

Alleged Tea Party Racists including Nancy and Tom Mistele came from Wisconsin to attend Beck's rally and events surrounding it. The two supposedly say they came because they haven't earned a paycheck since 2006 and are afraid that Americans are losing their freedom and their country.

These so called racist zealots supposedly say "I believe slowly, our rights are being taken away little by little," Tom Mistele said. "A lot of it's already been lost, but it's not lost permanently. We can get it back." Such a Racist, Sad Sad State of Affairs!

Al Sharpton's group supporting MLK's Dream Rallying at Lincoln Memorial: What will Glenn Beck's Racist Tea Partiers Do to Fight Them?


Rev. Al Sharpton & National Action Network (NAN), along with civil rights leaders, clergy and progressive activist holding "Reclaim the Dream Rally" Marching on August 28, 2010 Martin Luther King, III, Ed Schultz, Marc Morial (NUL), Ben Jealous from the NAACP to attend.

A group truly in support of the American Dream will be rallying on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday. Rev. Al Sharpton, the NAACP and others will be there! They will truly be supporting Martin Luther King's vision on the anniversary of his speech resounding the words of our forefathers that ALL MEN/WOMEN of ALL ethnicities are truly, truly created Equal! Let us Pray that the racist extremists from Glenn Beck's racist rally DO NOT perpetrate ANY VIOLENCE against these Americans of Color! (To Glenn Beck's VIOLENT, EXTREMISTS ZEALOTS: REMEMBER -- NO GUNS ALLOWED!!)

GOD BLESS AMERICA

In Mississippi: Only White Children Can Run for School President!

AJC.com reports:
When I read a poster’s comment about a school in Mississippi allowing only white kids to be class president in middle school, I had to read more and share it with you. Apparently, the school policy in Nettleton, Miss., began as an effort to rotate class officers among the races. I will give them the benefit of the doubt that this made some sense 30 years ago to ensure that black kids — who are in the minority in the community — held elected office. But it sure doesn’t made sense in 2010. If those reports are correct, I assume that this was the white kids’ year to run the show as students were given a memo earlier this month stating that class presidents in grades 6, 7 and 8 must be white. It also called for the vice presidents in grades 7 and 8 to be white, while the sixth-grade vice president could be black.

I have to wonder why parents haven’t risen up before now to challenge outmoded policy. I am not sure if parents weren’t aware or simply weren’t overly concerned with racial rotations in class officers at the middle school. (I am not sure if students cared, either, as I haven’t found too many kids getting excited over middle school class elections. Running for class office seems to have fallen out of favor with a lot of students.)

The good news is that this policy was changed today (due to the media coverage).
Here is the NBC/MSNBC story, including updates that the school board voted today to change the rules:
The school board in Nettleton, Miss., voted Friday to reverse its policy under which race determined whether a candidate could run for class positions, including president.

Right Wing Evangelical Minister Conducting "Burn Quran Day" on 9/11

NY Times Reports:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — If building an Islamic center near ground zero amounts to the epitome of Muslim insensitivity, as critics of the project have claimed, what should the world make of Terry Jones, the evangelical pastor here who plans to memorialize the Sept. 11 attacks with a bonfire of Qurans? Mr. Jones, 58, a former hotel manager with a red face and a white handlebar mustache, argues that as an American Christian he has a right to burn Islam’s sacred book because “it’s full of lies.” And in another era, he might have been easily ignored, as he was last year when he posted a sign at his church declaring “Islam is of the devil.”

But now the global spotlight has shifted. With the debate in New York putting religious tensions front and center, Mr. Jones has suddenly attracted thousands of fans and critics on Facebook, while around the world he is being presented as a symbol of American anti-Islamic sentiment. Muslim leaders in several countries, including Egypt and Indonesia, have formally condemned him and his church, the Dove World Outreach Center. An Islamic group in England has also incorporated Jones' efforts into a YouTube video that encourages Muslims to “rise up and act,” widening a concern that Mr. Jones — though clearly a fringe figure with only 50 members in his church — could spark riots or terrorism.

“Can you imagine what this will do to our image around the world?” said Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington. “And the additional danger it will add whenever there is an American presence in Iraq or Afghanistan?”

Mr. Jones, in a lengthy interview at his church, said he sincerely hoped that his planned Quran-burning would not lead to violence. He dismissed the idea that it could put American troops at greater risk, and — echoing his sermons — he said that his church was being persecuted. He said his bank recently demanded immediate repayment of the $140,000 balance on the church mortgage; that his property insurance had been canceled since he announced in late July that he intended to burn copies of the Quran; and that death threats now come in regularly. “We have to be careful,” he said. He tapped a holster on the right hip of his jean shorts; it held a .40-caliber pistol, which he said he was licensed to carry. “The overall response,” he added, “has been much greater than we expected.”

Mr. Jones who seems to spend much of his time inside a dank, dark office with a poster from the movie “Braveheart” and a picture of former President George W. Bush, appears to be largely oblivious to the potential consequences of his plans. Speaking in short sentences with a matter-of-fact drawl, he said that he could not understand why other Christians, including the nation’s largest evangelical association, had called for him to cancel “International Burn a Quran Day.”

Beck's "Take Back the Civil Rights Movement" Rally provides maps to AVOID Black People while in DC

A tour map of DC is being provided by supporters of Beck's "Take Back the Civil Rights Movement (from MLK and minorities) Rally" this Saturday. This map carefully avoids all African American neighborhoods and suggests attendees only visit primarily "white" locales --- SO THEY ARE SAFE!
Beck Blogger:
If you are on the subway stay on the Red line between Union Station and Shady Grove, Maryland. If you are on the Blue or Orange line do not go past Eastern Market (Capitol Hill) toward the Potomac Avenue stop and beyond; stay in NW DC and points in Virginia (where the White People are). Do not use the Green line or the Yellow line. These rules are even more important at night. There is of course nothing wrong with many other areas; but you don't know where you are, so you should not explore them.

Glenn Beck Rally: "Taking Back the Civil Rights Movement!"

CNN Reports:
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- Glenn Beck, on his nationally syndicated radio program, May 26:"We are on the right side of history! We are on the side of individual freedoms and liberties and, dammit, we will reclaim the civil rights moment (from Martin Luther King & Minorities). We will take that movement -- because we were the people who did it in the first place." It is Glenn Beck's most audacious stunt yet: This Saturday, in the company of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the National Rifle Association and others, the Fox News Channel host will stand in the sacred shadow not just of the Lincoln Memorial but of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. himself, near the spot where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech 47 years earlier to the exact day.

Though Beck pledged to keep his rally non-political and non-partisan, his 8-28 rally is steeped in politics. Examples:
. The deeply Conservative "Tea Party Patriots" run by Dick Armey is providing staff, promotion.
. The National Rifle Association sponsoring, promoting the event.
. Beck is telling attendees that, if they want to get involved in politics, they should sign up with the ultra conservative group FreedomWorks.
. Right Wing extremists "Americans for Prosperity" is providing buses to the rally. AFP is owned by David A Koch, Republican oil giant.
. Freedom Works and Dick Armey's Tea Party Patriots are hosting events the day before and after the rally.
. Right Wing extremist and anti Obama zealot Sarah Palin is speaking at the rally.
. GOP Members of Congress Hatch and Cheffetz are backing the event.
. Beck himself is saying he is "Fixing the Capital" and "Reclaiming the Civil Rights Movement." (from MLK, minorities, equal rights and freedom) and is pushing the end to Social Security and other extreme right initiatives.

Every Freedom Loving American should be appalled by what Beck and his right wing zealots are doing -- rallying to END the Civil Rights Movement and Freedom for ALL Americans of all Colors and all Ethnicities and Religions.

Republican "Ole Boy" Alan Simpson in Hot Water Over Misogynist Remarks About Social Security "Milk Cow with 310 million tits!"

Reference: The Atlantic
Social Security advocates have taken offense at misogynistic and "agist" remarks made by Republican Alan Simpson this week, and one group is calling for his resignation. Social Security Works is calling on Simpson to resign after he penned this email to a critic. Remarks in question are bolded at the end:

From: Alan K. Simpson
Sent: Monday, August 23, 2010 6:52 PM

Ashley B. Carson
Executive Director, OWL
Dear Ms. Carson,

Someone was good enough to forward me your column of "Enough with the Pink Panthers Bit" of April 27, 2010. Some of what you say is true. Much is not - but that's nothing new about public life for me! I have news for you too, my friend. There may be no group called the Pink Panthers working to protect Social Security but I sure as hell am! I've spent many years in public life trying to stabilize that system while people like you babble into the vapors about "disgusting attempts at ageism and sexism" and all the rest of that crap.

Now hold on tight, because you won't like what I'm sending you. You may obviously be aware that the Social Security system is "in trouble." If you don't agree with that, then there is no need to read any further. But I wish to share with you the presentation by Stephen C. Goss, Chief Actuary of the Social Security Administration on May 12, 2010 to the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform...

Anyway, have a look at it and if you should choose, you might communicate with me. If you have some better suggestions about how to stabilize Social Security instead of just babbling into the vapors, let me know. And yes, I've made some plenty smart cracks about people on Social Security who milk it to the last degree. You know 'em too. It's the same with any system in America. We've reached a point now where it's like a milk cow with 310 million tits! Call when you get honest work!

Al


Here's the resignation call from Eric Kingston, co-director of Social Security Works:
"Alan Simpson's comments are offensive and sexist and clearly demonstrate that he is unfit to continue to lead the President's Fiscal Commission. His comments not only show his true view of women and older Americans but also his disdain for the very program he claims he is trying to protect - Social Security. Social Security Works is demanding that he resign immediately. If he will not, the President must fire him. Alan Simpson has no business deciding the fate of hundreds of millions of Americans' retirement future. He should have no power over Social Security, which provides vital economic support to millions of children and people with disabilities, as well as seniors and their families."

Islamophobe Asks Cab Driver "Are You a Muslim?" Then Stabs Him in the Chest!

Reference- NY Post:
With all the brouhaha regarding the building of the Community Center Mosque two blocks from Ground Zero, Islamophobia is rising to a frothing, violent frenzy in some Americans! On Tuesday, a drunk upstate New York filmmaker who had recently returned from Afghanistan where he was filming the Marines took his anger out on a Muslim cabbie -- asking the driver if he was a Muslim before brutally attacking him with a knife, police said. The attack occurred at about 6 p.m.
Tuesday after Michael Enright, 21, of Brewster, hailed a yellow cab at the corner of 24th Street and Second Avenue, police said.
While the two engaged in a conversation, Enright asked the driver, Sharif Ahmed, "Are you Muslim?" Ahmed, 43, responded, "Yes." At one point, Enright greeted Ahmed by saying, "Al salaam aalaykum" -- the Arabic greeting meaning, "Peace upon you."
Ahmed replied, "Wa alaikum salaam" -- meaning, "And on you be peace!" "Then, he asked me how my Ramadan was going," Ahmed told The Post in an interview this afternoon, adding that Enright had a sarcastic tone. As the cab neared east 41st Street, about a block away from Enright's destination at 42nd Street and Third Avenue, he barked, "This is the checkpoint motherf---er. I have to f--- you up this time," police said.

That's when Enright allegedly pulled out a silver-colored folding knife and slashed Ahmed in the throat, arm and face through the taxicab partition. Ahmed was briefly able to lock the man inside the cab, but Enright was able to open the door and run off. The driver ran after Enright and was able to flag a police officer on patrol along Third Avenue, who spotted the filmmaker sitting in the middle of the street blocking traffic. Ahmed identified Enright to the cop as his attacker.

"I [told the cop]: He stabbed me because I’m Muslim," Ahmed said. The knife used in the attack was not found. Ahmed was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition. His received stitches for his wounds and was released. “I’ve lived in this country for 35 years," Ahmed said. "I’ve worked hard. This country has helped me a lot. Before yesterday, I never felt like I didn’t belong here."



Enright, who was intoxicated at the time of his arrest, was also taken to Bellevue Hospital for evaluation, police said. The accused attacker told cops he works for an Internet media company and had recently spent time with a combat unit in Afghanistan filming military exercises until this past May. On the youtube trailer for Enright's "Home of the Brave" film about his military friends in Afghanistan, Enright filmed his friend saying, "I joined the Marine corps to literally get rid of all the bad people in the world." (at minute 1:40) Is that what Islamophobic Enright thought he was doing?

This is a wake-up call for All Americans! Follow the words of our Founding Fathers! Our Country was founded on Religious Freedom and All Men/Women are Created Equal! Give Peace a Chance!

Right Wing Extremist Tea Party Signs Reveal Their True Enemies: Brown & Black People! Glenn Beck Rallies to "Take Back" MLK's message!

Look at the news coverage. Read their signs. Who are they protesting? Minorities. They protest against our President and depict him as an African Witch Doctor. They "Hope for the Rope" and show a hanging noose. They depict him as an African Lion, a Muslim, a Marxist. They depict Muslims/Islam as evil. They support racial profiling of all Latinos through their support of sb1070. They are against Latino Legal Guest Workers. They are against the NAACP. Sum it all together and you see the primarily white supporters of the far right tea party movement being against black and brown people and non-Christians. Their true mission is to change the census bureau's prediction of the U.S.A. becoming a majority-minority country by 2040. In order to achieve this agenda they spew Hate and Anger during their rallies and demonstrations -- all against brown and black people. Watch their videos. Look at their hate filled faces. If you are a minority, don't wear a skull cap. Don't drive around with your family in your mini-van.
This weekend, August 28, the day Martin Luther King made his "I have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Glenn Beck is hosting a Hate Rally titled "Restoring Honor" in front of the Lincoln Memorial. All White Tea Partiers are invited to "take back" the day from Black Americans and Minorities.

If Beck's rally is like past rallies, all black and brown people should avoid the area. These protesters are red faced. They are angry. They are spouting hate and fear, afraid that our country, our USA will become multi-cultural. Read the flyer for Beck's rally. Scroll to the bottom. He adds disclaimers to ensure the angry attendees don't bring signs, guns,ammo, explosives, etc., as they have on past occasions.

What a sad state of affairs for our country, on this date, that should be held in honor of the historical words of Martin Luther King:
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all people of every color and religion are created equal.'"
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will NOT be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

Michael Steele Distances GOP From Arizona's sb1070 Racial Profiling Immigration Law: It's Not 'A Reflection Of An Entire Political Party'


HP Reports: In an interview Monday with Univision, the nation's largest Spanish-language network, Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele distanced the Republican Party from SB-1070, Arizona's controversial immigration law:
Univision: How do you say that Hispanics are relevant (important) for your party, when you just approved a law in Arizona against immigrants?
RNC's STEELE: Well, let's be clear. The actions of one state's governor is not a reflection of an entire country, nor is it a reflection of an entire political party. The governor and the people of Arizona made a decision that they thought was in their best interest, and that's the beauty of a republic, that's who we are.
Univision[Cutaway]: For Steele, the Arizona law against immigrants is not a reflection of our nation, and it is not a reflection of the Republican Party.
RNC's STEELE: We hope, now that this debate is in full bloom, level heads will prevail and that we'll reach a common sense solution with regards to immigration.

Most other national GOP figures have defended the legislation and sharply criticized the Obama administration's lawsuit against Arizona. Many Hispanic Republicans in Arizona, however, have denounced racial profiling SB-1070, and Steele's comments may be an effort to live up to his pledge to increase diversity in the Republican Party.

Republican Extremists are Forgetting why/how our Country was Founded and are targetting Muslim Americans at Ground Zero!


Many Muslim-Americans died in the World Trade Center when it was attacked by extremist Muslims on 9-11-01. They were loyal Americans, living, working, breathing in America. Then some Muslim extremists flew a plane into their workplace, and they died.

Many Christian-Americans died in Oklahoma City when it was attacked by extremist Christians on 4-19-95. They were loyal Americans, living, working, breathing in America. Then some Christian American extremists, Timothy McVeigh and his partners, planted a bomb into their workplace, and they died.

Today, Republicans are targetting ALL Muslim-Americans and OPPOSING their absolute "Freedom of Religion" right to re-build a community center a few blocks away from "ground zero." (see the video of a non-Muslim, American worker walking near the ANTI-Muslim protesters)

Rational Americans are saying, "Republicans, ARE YOU CRAZY? ARE YOU FORGETTING WHY/HOW OUR COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED? FREEDOM OF RELIGION? AND HOW CAN YOU DEMONIZE AN ENTIRE GROUP OF AMERICANS FOR THE VIEWS OF A FEW EXTREMISTS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST?"

More Republicans Want to Cut Social Security

GOP House Candidate, Proposes Budget That Would Cut Social Security Benefits
A Republican House candidate in Florida wants senior citizens to share the burden of reducing the national budget deficit through cuts to Social Security benefits..

Webster is a former Florida Senate majority leader and a tea party candidate in the Aug. 24 primary. Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) in 2008 and 2009, of 2.3 percent and 5.8 percent, respectively, amounted to roughly $100 per retiree every month.

"For Webster to propose cuts of $100 per person to a program that has served seniors well for so long is an indication that, if he's elected, seniors will be the first ones to suffer," said Tony Fransetta, president of the Florida Alliance for Retired Americans, in a statement..

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.), the House GOP's point man on the budget, introduced legislation that would cut and partially privatize Social Security and would "modernize" the retirement age, but his proposal has won only 13 cosponsors.

Republican pundits are a Blight on the very Foundation of America!

Muslim Americans are opposed to al qaeda. Many Muslim Americans lost their lives in 911. For Republicans to paint, with a broad brush, that Muslim Americans are guilty of being terrorists is a bold faced LIE. Their claim is racist. Their claim is racial profiling. Their claim goes against the will of our founding fathers.
Our country was based on religious freedom. Muslim Americans have the same “freedom of religion” rights as any other American.
They have every right to re-build their existing mosque a few blocks away from the Twin Towers location.
For Republican pundits like Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin to use this as a political issue to demonize and chastise ALL Muslim Americans is WRONG! They are allowing the terrorists and al qaeda to WIN. The terrorists’ wish was to change America, to change our freedoms, to change Freedom of Religion, and instead use divisive rhetoric to control and instill fear in every day Americans and to demonize our very own foundations of Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech and Equality of ALL regardless of race, ethnicity or religion.
Republican pundits are a blight on the very foundation of America!
Newt Gingrich compares 'Ground Zero mosque' backers to Nazis
Newt Gingrich went with a slightly different Holocaust metaphor when he compared the people behind the proposed mosque, whom he referred to as "radical Islamists," to "Nazis" during an appearance on Fox News.
"Nazis don't have the right to put up a sign next to the holocaust museum in Washington," Gingrich insisted, speaking of the museum where just a year ago a guard was killed by a white supremacist trying to enter the building with a gun. Gingrich then went on to claim that "we would never accept the Japanese putting up a site next to Pearl Harbor."
