He only helped himself.
The rally in DC that had over a million people attending was organized and started by the Tea Party.
Beck saw the opportunity and jumped in front of the parade.
His ardent followers naturally thought he started the whole process.
He started the 9-12 project or whatever and was promoting himself more than our Constitutional Republic or the Tea Party Movement.
I think he was jealous and fuming that other people were getting so much attention that he wanted.
“He started the 9-12 project or whatever and was promoting himself more than our Constitutional Republic or the Tea Party Movement.”
Absolutely. His rally interfered with the TeaParty rally that was held the next week. People didn’t know which one to go to.
He took away from the TeaParty. This was the second year of the TeaParty. I think if Beck had not had a rally around the same time, the second TeaParty rally would have been as large as the first. The TeaParty was just beginning to grow. Beck and the IRS tried to stop it.
