Red State reports that Google might be giving bogus results about maps and directions to Glenn Beck’s rally.
"A reader emails that if you search Google today, on the eve of Glenn Beck’s rally, a search for Lincoln Memorial turns up, instead, the wrong address. And not just any wrong address either; it takes you to the FDR Memorial. Curious."
I have to say, and this may not be popular, but I question Glenn Beck and his motives. Don’t yell at me. I don’t disagree with his message or the research he’s done. I just don’t like this whole cult of personality thing going on here.
Creeps me out.
Yea, I have on my flame suit tonight too...I agree, GB creeps me out also...Just something weird about the guy that makes me feel uncomfortable.
I call BS.
No one is stupid enough not to know the difference between the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorial.
Even using google maps.
I agree it has nothing to with the Google thing. If this is proved, Google should be called out. What else you gonna do?
Dang...Just follow the crowd and leave the GPS in the car.
What personality cult are you referring to? That he is popular among his viewers? You don’t have to like him or even watch him, that’s fine. Everyone prefers different people. I like him, he’s informative, honest, he does him homework, and is welcoming. You can join us in prayer for our country though.
But, do I think there is something strange about him, absolutely not.
Anyone who goes to Washington DC and can’t find the Lincoln Memorial is an idiot.
Juvenile bolshies at work, most likely. Though maybe Google simply confused the two; Lincoln and FDR were both damn fascists anyway.
+P to the OP re: Beck. Creepy guy and I'm still not really sure what tomorrow's event is about. We need a summer of rage... as the event approaches, it's looking more like some sort of tent revival. I don't get it.
It would not be the first time Google was caught sabotaging search results.
I like Beck too.
Anyone with 2 molecules of brain matter can find the Lincoln Memorial without the aid of Google Maps. If they can’t, they’re too stupid to live, and should exit the gene pool immediately.
Yea, I have on my flame suit tonight too...I agree, GB creeps me out also...Just something weird about the guy that makes me feel uncomfortable.
I'm with you. I just can't watch him. I actually agree with most of what I have heard him say (his ridiculous statements about the Dead Sea Scrolls and Constantine aside) but I still don't like him. There is just something about his style and delivery that seems just a little creepy. I might have a hard time nailing down just what it is, but I find him unpleasant to watch.
Its in the eyes. I get a track suit, tennis shoe, koolaid vibe.
They put the FDR memorial on a bridge. LOL. What are they drinking?
What I think is strange is that this would be posted on the weekend of such an important event. I expected something like this to be posted elsewhere.
2,000 leaders from at least a dozen denominations and religions were there tonight. No cult of personality going on. The theme of the events is the same the founders promoted: lots of different opinions but we all hold some truths to be self-evident.
