Glenn Beck Comes To D.C., Controversy Follows (NPR)

NPR ^ | August 27, 2010 | Liz Halloran

[Drango]

The tax funded NPR has all the liberals in a major panty twist over Glenn Beck.

The comment section is full of moonbat hate speech, intolerance and death wishes.

FOX, Palin, and the Tea Party all get basted in this propaganda screed. Gratuitous Mormon bashing included.

[Drango]

National Tea Party Federation co-founder Mark Skoda...

Who? Never heard of him...

[cld51860]

Your tax dollars at (liberal) work. How nice.

[Drango]

The left’s propaganda wing is attacking Glenn Beck.

[andy58-in-nh]

This is a disgusting hit piece, even by (admittedly low) overtly-politicized NPR standards.

If the Republicans happen to win both Houses of Congress, the very first thing I would like them to do in January, even before repealing Obamacare would be to defund NPR and PBS, and let them support their own hateful propaganda instead of picking the pockets of those toward whom they direct their venom.

[JoanneSD]

i AGREE,who is Skoda, the tea party I particapte in has no leaders per say.. . We all are leaders in our own rights..

[Army Air Corps]

This screed brought to you via your generous “contributions” from your paycheck.

[avacado]

Not one mention in that article that Dr Alveda King will be a speaker at the event.

[cripplecreek]

Beck comes to DC, NPR provides the hysteria.

[Gargantua]

I can't wait to see their heads explode like that guy in the movie "Scanners" when Palin wins the White House in 2012. Landslide victory becomes blood knee-deep in the streets from exploding liberal heads.

LOL

“A countermarch is being planned at a different location in Washington to protest Beck’s decision to schedule his event on the same site and on the 47th anniversary of civil rights hero Martin Luther King Jr.’s seminal “I Have a Dream” speech.”

NOT the 47th anniversary? The bstrd. we all know how meaningful the 47th anniversary is. Also on this date;

1981 John Hinckley, Jr. pleads innocent in attempt to kill President Reagan

1978 Ja’afar Sharif-Emami appointed premier of Iran

1976 U.S.S.R. performs nuclear test at Semipalitinsk, Eastern Kazakhstan U.S.S.R.

1994 1st Japanese gay pride parade

Are psychotic gay Japanese nuclear scientists in Iran protesting the gathering of the Beckerheads?

I THINK NOT!

I know, right? The left just can not fathom people existing without joining forces in some sort of collectivist fashion. The entity knows as “the TEA party” really doesn’t exist. It’s truly an uprising of the people through their own volition, coming together, assembling peacefully usually through word of mouth.

[CincyRichieRich]

Oh, yeah, tens of thousands...NPR’s new math.

[who knows what evil?]

Not one mention in that article that Dr Alveda King will be a speaker at the event.

Just an oversight; I am sure...

[AGreatPer]

Heard Brent Bozell talk about NPR. Said he has tons of info to sink this ship IF and when conservatives get in power.
Yea, where was he th last time we had control?

[Kandy Atz]

“Hallowed” ground? What drama queens.

Doesn’t America already shut down in honor of MLK. Aren’t there hundreds if not thousands streets, schools, libraries, parks etc named for MLK?

Has the left ever really done much to remember the date of the speech or celebrate at this location before?

[cripplecreek]

"Why step on hallowed ground?" Dodge wonders.

This is a tea party leader?

[a fool in paradise]

I don’t recall NPR finding the so called antiwar movement (that was decidedly pro-palestinian war and pro-isurgenct terrorism) “controversial” nor did they bother to expose the Communist groups funding the protests.

[MEGoody]

"Is this just to increase Brand Beck?" he asks.

I don't think so, but if someone does think that, they are free not to attend. At least for now, we are free to make those kinds of choices.

There are those who would like nothing better than to deny us the right to make these kinds of choices.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Aren’t there hundreds if not thousands streets, schools, libraries, parks etc named for MLK?

Yep, funny thing though, they're always in the part of town you would never want to even dare to drive through, let alone visit.
