Well, this guy showed up and tried to formulate what at least has the appearance of an honest assessment of the actual phenomenon in front of him, which is more than you can say for most of the media.

but he still couldn't bring himself to mention the Dr Alveda King,King's niece was there as a featured speaker -

they sure are trying to keep this quiet. Can't have any blacks looking into this and maybe leaving the plantation

I also haven't seen one media mention of Beck's 'in your face' defiance to the powers that be at the Kennedy Center Friday night concerning their edict "NO OPENING PRAYER!" He, basically told 'em to stuff it and sicked his lawyers on 'em. He said there was nothing in the contract that said "no prayer." (I'm guessing because they know it's unconstitutional to forbid prayer.

Ditto at the Washington mall - Park police had even forbid some young girls from saying a prayer that a week or so ago.

Beck was told no prayer and no singing the anthem. They did both - in spades.

It was like calling the schoolyard bully's bluff: What could the park police do? Can you imagine if they had marched up there and tried tostop them? This country would have exploded.

Hopefully, more people will take heart and defy the prayer police.

You are right. He did attempt to comprehend the situation as well as a liberal could. He got one thing glaringly right, though, when he mentioned the “...the institutional collapse of the Republican Party...”. What gets me is that RINOS and “institutional Republicans” like Mitch McConnell STILL don’t get it. They are going to take the anti-institutional victory that Republicans are going to get in November and still try to cut deals with the Democrats. What they don’t get is that conservative Republicans and libertarians are sick and tired of Washington ‘Pubs bargaining away principle for advantage to Democrats and corporate lobbyists.

Which makes it even more dishonest, IMHO.
