HUNTINGTON -- Saturday

Can you protest a protest? Sounds like a FREEPING in the making...

[Paul Atreides]

Don't you just love it when the "don't-stifle-my-freedom-of-speech" crowd tries to stifle someone else's freedom of speech?

"Glenn Beck is the up-and-coming Rush Limbaugh of talk radio, and he’s using this rally to boost his career," McGee said Monday at a teach-in about media deregulation.

I seem to recall Janeane Garofalo stating that she has gotten some fringe benefits (job offers) from raising her profile by protesting.

[Travis McGee]

Personally I relish the prospect of mixing it up with the commie'rat scum on the streets!

Bring it on, pinko pansy boys!

[mountaineer]

Good grief!

[Williams]

Not much of an accusation is it? That a radio host will raise his profile by being in the public eye? I'll tell you one way he would HURT his public profile: If he got up there and read the ridiculous positions of this left wing group. Of course, you have to read the article through left-wing eyes. In their narrow little minds, being the next Rush Limbaugh is tantamount to being the next Adolph Hitler.

If someone does FReep these morons, point out that Beck's flagship station WPHT Philadelphia also sponsored a rally and they're NOT a Clear Channel station. In fact, they're a competitor's station.

Ask the White Rose about the miss-use of taxpayer dollars by the two Pacifica Radio affilates in New York and San Francisco that received Corporation For Public Broadcasting $$$$ and served as the PA systems for United For Peace and Justice's anti-war rallies. Pacifica's Board Chair is also the head of UFPJ, Leslie Cagan.

Leslie Cagan takes kids by the hundreds to celebrate May Day in Cuba but never took even one to a Memorial Day service. But then again, Leslie's a Castro groupie.

Is anyone going to the rally from FR?

[cavtrooper21]

Would not be me, in any case. I live way too far away.
Love to be there though.
I've debated with this type of paltroon before, having lived near Kansas University (a bastion of granola in a sea of shredded wheat). This type is so enamoured with their own perceived wisdom that no truth can ever overcome them. They are the perfect footsoldiers for manipulators like Cagan, Castro, Mao, Pol Pot and the Clintons. Reality is a barely remembered bad dream for them. I look at them and see a picture I saw once in a magazine of a young Chinese communist girl during the "Cultural Revolution". Filled to the brim with abolute faith in the "rightness" of the cause. And not a free or orignial thought in that pretty little head....

"It’s not so much that (the Rally for America) is promoting deregulation, but it is a public relations move to raise the profile of Clear Channel Communications, which would gain a lot from media conglomeration," McGee said.

Warning to White Rose: That rot-gut moonshine can make you blind.

[ChemistCat]

If two dozen show up, I'll be surprised. It's not chic anymore to protest against the troops.

[Doctor Raoul]

I'm 9 hours from Huntington. That in itself wouldn't normally be a deterant, but I've been pretty worn out this week.

I did however see to it that some media have a good line on these folks.

[MinuteGal]

Yes, a Florida freeper and hubby are driving to the rally. Freepmail me at "MinuteGal" for more info.

I think the funniest thing is the Left pretending to support the Constitution when that's the very thing they've been trying to tear down for fifty years.

[henderson field]

What happens is that they tie their babushkas a bit too tight and that shuts off the flow of blood to the brain.

[AmericanVictory]

White Rose?

Are they still making petroleum jelly?

[Elkiejg]

The thought of these liberal cry babies protesting anything connected with the military in REDNECK WVa is a riot - they'll get their A** whipped by some good ole' boys for sure. This is not a slam at Rednecks - they - like most country music fans - are passionate about their country and the military.

These bozos believe that protesting Glenn Beck is the modern equivalent of protesting Hitler: http://www.jlrweb.com/whiterose/
Read their article about their noble tradition, and the important question of the day:
"And how many more innocent people will have to die before they are heard?"

[Guillermo]

If 2 dozen whow up, it will still get more media attention than the Beck rally.
