I attended the Glen Beck 9/11 rally in DC. It was an astonishing success. But this ends my appreciation of Mr. Beck as a force for good. He has allowed the liberal wool to be pulled over his eyes.
There had been a Tea Party event the previous year for 9/11. The next year, there was Glen Beck's 9/12 event and a second Tea Party event honoring 9/11. The Tea Party event was the next week. Beck split the number who attended the Tea Party event. I went to the Tea Party one. It was smaller than the one the previous year. Most people couldn't get off for both events. I think Beck knew that his timing of the event would naturally siphon off attendees from the Tea Party event.
I was a Glen Beck fan, but lost interest after that. Liked his tv show, but don't like his radio show. Seems to be all about him and is often juvenile.
He is so often on and off the reservation that he needs a clapboard sign to that effect.
