Yes I disagree, Palin supports McCain at this time, just as she should. Just as you did in 2008.
“Levin and Hannity are downright nasty about Beck sometimes....gotta read between the lines. Hnnity will sometimes call in to Levin and they’ll talk about Beck in symbolspeech. Levin calls Beck the midafternoon back bencher or some such.
You gotta develop an ear for it. I am a bit of a talk radio junkee.
And hey, I like Levin...really. But he can be a nasty jealous twit at times.
Hannity is, by me, an airhead who only got big on talk radio because he was one of the first on the scene. I can’t listen to his show more than an hour at a time, at most.
But that’s just me.
Rush will always be the best and he doesn’t need to lean on anyone for a bit of cast off sunshine.”
Agree that Hannity is an airhead. I can’t listen to him either.
Levin has substantive and accurate criticisms of Beck, especially his rhetoric indicating that Democrats and Republicans are equally to blame for things and his flirtations with Ron Paul-style foreign and defense policies.
Apparently, Beck read sections of Levin’s book on the air without crediting the author. Very tacky. Levin always credits the sources of items he discusses on the air.
I appreciate that - I didn’t actually see her comments (yet) and was going on the fact that she discussed him. Good to know that context.
“One thing CSPAN’s coverage reveals is that there are no signs. Glenn said ‘no signs please’
Also,
Let Rush be Rush, Mark be Mark, Sean be Sean, and Glenn be Glenn.”
I watched MLK's niece this morning. Her message to the media was that those who don't love God need to sit down and STFU. Otherwise, they need to stand with her and ALL lovers of freedom and take back America.
If the left can somehow twist this into something nefarious, then so be it. It will only prove to whom their loyalty lies.
Obama, Pelosi and Reid are NOT going to get any mileage out of this rally! (I don't have to see it to KNOW that!)
You ROCK!!
You can probably ask pelosi what she thinks after her doll eyes and head stop spinning around, like something out of the Exorcist. You can ask reid after he finishes his blood transfusion to bring back some color to his face, chest, arms, etc. And you can try asking obama after he's finished drinkin’ and druggin’ and huggin’ his TOTUS...he just found out HE IS NOT THE ONE WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.
Thank you, Jesus!
RatsDawg clarified SP’s comments for me. Today’s rally was NOT at all about McCain - thank God.
I disagree with your comment “Palin supports McCain at this time, just as she should”. I think she’s done more than enough for McCain. She needs to move on, as does he, you and I! Clearly McCain needs to stand on his own two feet.
Of course I support McCain over the RAT as of course you do and SP.
Do you not think, by the way, that there’s a RINO problem (that’s actually being addressed by the Tea Party support of Conservatives!)? Do you not think that McCain has betrayed Conservatives many, many times? I think he actually despises us (he’s said as much very bluntly) as much as we might despise his betrayals of us.
The answer is the honest, self-respecting people don’t attend Sharpton events!
I guess I’m just curious to see what these political devils will do when they are splashed with real holy water!
That is a different matter, I said it does not AUTOMATICALLY mean that, when you throw in a lot of other language it becomes a different matter altogether. You are sounding like the typical MSNBC type of commentator. If I said that the mere fact that someone wears shoes does not automatically mean his feet hurt because of them you would ask, “What if there is pea gravel in the shoes?”
“national political reporters” = socialist fellow travelers = ministry of propaganda = Stasi stenographers
I love how our Stasi stenographers are desperate to lure 41 and 43 into the Hamasque debate in order to extricate O from his Islamacy.
They want all 3 of them to hold hands and walk into a mosque together.
Tell me again why the Bushes should do anything to help out a guy who blames W for everything?
Am so glad for Glenn that he got such a fantastic turnout.
re: Sharpton’s rally: “It sounds like there are as many speakers as their are attendees”
LOL!
I’m sure I’m not the only one who has noticed the lack of trash and throw-aways in every photo we have seen so far. That says it all.
“Rush has 20 million listeners, Beck has 6 million.”
That’s about to change. Limbaugh might not lose any of his audience, but I’m willing to bet that Beck is going to see his numbers going up. People can smell the truth and are attracted to it.
Evidently you missed Palin remarks. She was introducing a guy whom Glenn Beck invited, a Colonel who had been in Hanoi Hilton, tortured, in solitary, when finally he was transferred to a larger room with other Americans, including John McCain. It was just an aside. The crowd was going nuts over this exuberant Col. and then when she said the “m-c” word, you could hear a pin drop. I think it was hilarious!
Another note on Palin, near the end when Glenn called up the bagpipers to play Amazing Grace and the whole crowd was into it, they flashed camera to Palin on end of stage and she was stoic but had to brush a tear from her cheek. Just wonderful. She’s is such an American. There were many wet eyes in that crowd.
It was a good and worthwhile event. Beck said the media was reporting over a thousand people attended. LOL (of course they must have hit a million - unlike Calipso Louie)
***”It’s our country too. We will reclaim the dream. It was ours from the beginning.” The crowd roared.***
$$$$$
This is the most ridiculous statement ever made by this ridiculous man, Al Sharpton. He is stating that white Americans are not allowed to aspire to unity and harmony of all Americans.
The only reply to such a man is ridicule.
Watching CNN right now put on the honey for the Reverend. Apparently they marched towards becks rally and the reverend told his people not to be scared if heckled. Grr. we dont heckle. what a dumbasss.
