"Restoring Honor" event makes history: Washington rally shows power of conservatism in America

The large numbers who turned out defied an intensely hostile and negative media campaign that attacked the decision to hold the event on the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream Speech” as a cynical political gimmick. They proved their critics spectacularly wrong. Significantly, Dr. King’s niece, Alveda King, spoke at the rally, which she described earlier as “a celebration of who we are as a nation and a chance to stop for a moment, reflect, reorganize, and re-energize. It’s a chance to think about character; both our character as a nation and our character as individuals.”

Nothing to add here.

I’m impressed with the Telegraph. They actually reported on the rally accurately, unlike our own biased media.

Glenn must be on cloud nine today. He did an amazing job on this project. I really have more hope for the future now than I did two years ago. Many in this country are not going to give up so easily. That is reassuring.

Anyone know when it is being replayed on CSPAN?

I’m just hoping that this will translate into a good housecleaning in November. Very easy to get caught up in the moment, then forget between now and then. Have to keep the momentum going.

Although I haven’t followed this event closely, I’d have to say that it was brilliantly executed by Beck. No politicians or parties, hundreds of thousands in attendance, no violence, a King descendant anointing the event....brilliant!

WOW! Nice article. From a Brit no less.

I accidentally found a rebroadcast in the wee hours of the morning today when I couldn’t sleep and put the tv on. Maybe C-span’s website will have it on its schedule.

The MSM is spinning this non-stop in an attempt to prop up their failed Messiah who is destroying every RAT that clings to him. We The People will not be “ruled” by Elitist, power-hungry enemies of freedom. This rally puts the enemies of America on notice that their days of rule are over. If they fail to get our message, a second message is coming on November 2nd and a bigger message will be coming in 2012.

Elitist, power-hungry, corrupt politicians in DC would be wise to order their packing boxes now and update their resumes. When updating their resumes, they can add “traitor” to their country next to their names. Their arrogant staffs can stand in unemployment lines with the rest of Americans; those being the unemployment lines created by their Messiah and their corrupt political bosses.

I have new respect for Glen Beck. I admire him for calling a rally to restore honor in America, and a call to return to God. Apparently America agrees, for they turned out by the hundreds of thousands- not 'thousands' as the state run media reported.

God knows we need to restore honor and return to God as America sinks deeper into the dark cesspool of Marxist/Muslim America that Obama is creating. Obama has gone on world tours appologizing for America, blaming her for the world's troubles, alienating our allies and promoting Islam.

America has always been there to rescue other countries from being conquered by their enemies, the first to assist other countries who have been hit by natural disasters- the bread basket and peace-keeper of the world.

America has always been the greatest country the world has ever known, and it's due to Christian and Jewish teachings. These are the principles on which America was built. There's no getting around it- as much as the America hating libs, Muslims and black radicals deny and hate that fact.

I believe by the turnout of hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans at the Beck rally that the writings on the wall for the Obama regime.

They will play it again Monday. Not sure when. It could be one of those overnight replays like last night. I wish everyone in America could see it.

[Mopp4]

Even the leading standard bearer of the Left in the US media, The New York Times,....

I snickered at this this observation....how true...

[LibLieSlayer]

People cannot “FORGET” an iron boot of fascism crushing their skulls.

Even the leading standard bearer of the Left in the US media, The New York Times, admitted that “by any measure it was a large turnout.

For the New York Times - the truth coming out - must have felt like someone was pulling fishhooks out of their mouths...

[muir_redwoods]

I heard the crowd described on network adio yesterday as numbering in the “ten’s of thousands” I suppose that’s true if you figure it as 50 groups of 10,000.

[mad_as_he$$]

Not true. It only shows the power of the ratings grabber Beck. The real power of conservatism will be seen or not in November. Right now I am guessing that conservatives will be looking back at how great the rally was while Congress is still controlled by rats. JMHO.
