In a sea of 7,000 fans, controversial TV and radio talk-show host Glenn Beck took his crusade to Safeco Field today, saying he is the voice of reason in a divided America.
"I am a flawed human being," said Beck, 45. "But I'm in a position to ring the bell of warning."
Beck, sponsored by the Evergreen Freedom Foundation, came to Seattle amid a torrent of anger over his proclamation on July 28 that President Obama was a racist and that he believed the president has a "deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."
Outside the stadium, about 30 protesters rallied against Beck.
Beck didn't criticize Obama in his hourlong talk, and spoke more about how both political parties are flawed. "We send these people to Washington and they go crazy on us," said Beck, as his supporters cheered and waved yellow flags with the words "Don't Tread on Me."

FNC just cut into Glenn Beck’s show again, and I again sent them an email.
Yep. Unbelievable. Why is Fox News falling for zero’s game?
bttt
30 protestors??????
(snicker)
bttt
Those effin' morons. I guess I'll have to send them another email as well. It goes without saying that what Glenn Beck has to say is MUCH more important than what that communist imposter Obambi has to say.
I think I figured it out. No other station is carrying zero’s speech to the black congressional caucus. Perhaps Fox is serving as a watchdog to keep track of what he is saying.

Glenn Beck attracts a crowd to Seattle talk

Let’s see, the SRM made a big deal about how many people hated Beck coming home, stores would let him in the door, etc. Now we find that there are 30 protesters and 7,000 fans. Wow, I guess they were right, he isn’t welcome in Seattle!/SAR
I guess they have never heard of a Gadsden Flag, it is a "yellow flag with, Don't tread on me" on it.
That’s a pretty good crowd. I didn’t think there were 7,000 conservatives in Seattle.
From your link:
“One protester, Don Sly of Seattle, held a tongue-in-cheek welcome sign that said: “Sure he’s an idiot bigot, but he’s our idiot bigot.”
LOL.
The idea that Beck can believe a Black Marxist is better than McCain and a hardcore liberal like “Plugs” Biden offers a better leadership alternative than traditionalist and conservative Sarah Palin, borders on irrational thought.

Funny how when the scumbag demoncrats (and I mean every single person) are "angry" it is announced with pride because it shows the righteousness of the Marxist ideology they support.
OTOH, when 5-6 hundred thousand Americans gather in DC to show "anger" as they protest the hideous rape of the former Constitution, this "anger" clearly indicates the dangerous mindset of a domestic terrorist.
It is really funny.
It shows where the newspaper’s brains, if any, are.
7,000 fans inside and I think I read that they paid to get in.
30 protesters outside.
And the headline is “a torrent of opposition”.
My God, those 30 must be something if they are more impressive than the 7,000.
Obama is speaking LIVE and Fox is covering it on a Saturday?
It’s football day at our house so I had no idea!
That caught my attention as well. A journalist can't do a quick internet search on something with which they are not familiar?
It has been PAINFUL to watch Beck try to defend the indefensible and I like Glenn Beck.
You’ve said it all!
I think 7000 is more than some Mariner games.
Please look at the manufacturing job trends by month at CNN (goes through August, 2009):

Thanks for that link.
Is this the “Glenn To Excellence Tour”?
A few weeks ago, a piece was posted here about some jackass who wanted to protest Beck by showing up at the event openly carrying firearms. He was having problems finding followers who owened a firearm and was begging for people to borrow one. Anyone know if this guy was ever able to track down anyone who owned a firearm?
I wish I wouldn’t have missed that article because I have no idea where to start searching.
“So far, Beck’s explanations have been nothing but empty headed BS. Pure sophistry.”
RM, I don’t think there’s much of anything pure about Beck. Right off hand, probably doesn’t know shat sophistry is, (right off hand I don’t know what sophistry is). Mc and any one is a team of question at best, but as time is proving none could top what we have for lack of sophistry.
Any how, the man is out front and beating the bushes and has pulled some of the heat off Rush, did I miss anything, probably. Lets hold back support till we have some one purely perfect, what?

‘I think I figured it out. No other station is carrying zero’s speech to the black congressional caucus. Perhaps Fox is serving as a watchdog to keep track of what he is saying.’
Or maybe FOX is doing it so they can say ‘look, we carried your speech to the CBC, no one else did.’ Maybe the other stations are racist for not covering the speech? ;-)
I understood his explanation and agree with him. McCain would have folded at every bill in the name of bipartisanship at which point who would get the blame when it all fell down? The GOP and that would have cemented socialism for all time. McCain believes or agrees with about 75% of what Obama is doing. And, the GOP members of Congress, like they did with Bush, would have simply followed the "leader".
With Obama the curtains have been opened wide on the socialism and corruption of DC.
As for Palin what power would she have had as VP? She couldn't sway any votes or even propose any legislation. Sure, she could speak out if McCain didn't send her to Togo every week for a visit. But, other than speak out and reveal the weakness of the GOP what effect would having her as VP ever have?
‘So far, Beck’s explanations have been nothing but empty headed BS. Pure sophistry.’
Beck explained that having McCain in the WH wouldn’t have inspired the grass-roots , tea party uprisings in this country that Nobama has insipired. For the type of change that Beck has been speaking about, Nobama is a better candidate to piss off more people than McCain would have been. That was his intent behind his statement, and while he could have explained it a little better when he said it, his reasoning makes sense.

Well, here's his photo:
Professor Stephen Schwartz, age 67.
Judging from his sweater, it appears as though the boy is suffering from “global warming” syndrome too.

SO Glenn manages a screaming 7K or 14% of capacity. Not bad, almost a Cubs game.
Why a baseball field?
Use the fact that Fox carried O when the others did not. Casually ask the O fans that you know, “How did you like the Obama speech on Saturday?” (Assuming that they are news junkies and are tuned in normally to the other channels and hate Fox). Then you get to say, :Oh, I guess only FOX carried it. Hmmmmm (hmmm hmmm, Barack Hussein Obama).
Look at his Blogger Page LOL.
When you take a first glance at his picture, he appears to be wearing a straight jacket. (That’s what caused me to notice the sweater).
LOL. His Zodiac year jumped out at me:
Zodiac Year: Snake
Born in ‘42. I’ll bet he had a lot of “fun” during the ‘60s. LOL! Kooks crack me up.
I bet the “professor” would have difficulty changing a light bulb, digging a hole, or taking out the trash, let alone properly handling a firearm.
That’s a pretty good crowd. I didn’t think there were 7,000 conservatives in Seattle.

I agree with you, raybbr!
Also, remember Glenn’s show about the frog in the pot of water. With McLame, the pot of water would be slowly heating up and We The People (the frog) would not be so attentive to the socialist programs that he was approving. Whereas, with Obama boiling the water with his rapidly paced attempts to shove everything down our throats, the frog is now jumping out of the pot.
Glenn’s point about Mc being worse was that he would be moving much more slowly to take the country further into liberal land and we would not be as aware of the movement as we now are with Obama’s attempts.
Definitely. He’s still a left wing radical.
60’s student deferral no doubt.
His case is basically that many McCain policies are the same as Obama policies. Since McCain is a Republican, he could get these policies passed by splitting the GOP.
Obama has united the GOP against his policies. McCain would have split the GOP, as Obama as split the Democrats.
In any case, Beck has expressed his opinion. Why Republicans are jumping down his throat is beyond me? Why even get upset?
McCain has not — nor will not now support Conservatives any more than Obama has...
Sad truth...
