(Glenn)Beck speaks to 7,000 at Seattle: 'The American people have not surrendered'
Seattle Times ^ | Saturday, September 26, 2009 | Susan Gilmore

Posted on 09/26/2009 6:27:49 PM PDT by elizabethgrace

In a sea of 7,000 fans, controversial TV and radio talk-show host Glenn Beck took his crusade to Safeco Field today, saying he is the voice of reason in a divided America.

"I am a flawed human being," said Beck, 45. "But I'm in a position to ring the bell of warning."

Beck, sponsored by the Evergreen Freedom Foundation, came to Seattle amid a torrent of anger over his proclamation on July 28 that President Obama was a racist and that he believed the president has a "deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."

Outside the stadium, about 30 protesters rallied against Beck.

Beck didn't criticize Obama in his hourlong talk, and spoke more about how both political parties are flawed. "We send these people to Washington and they go crazy on us," said Beck, as his supporters cheered and waved yellow flags with the words "Don't Tread on Me."

FNC just cut into Glenn Beck’s show again, and I again sent them an email.

Yep. Unbelievable. Why is Fox News falling for zero’s game?

Those effin' morons. I guess I'll have to send them another email as well. It goes without saying that what Glenn Beck has to say is MUCH more important than what that communist imposter Obambi has to say.

I think I figured it out. No other station is carrying zero’s speech to the black congressional caucus. Perhaps Fox is serving as a watchdog to keep track of what he is saying.

Let’s see, the SRM made a big deal about how many people hated Beck coming home, stores would let him in the door, etc. Now we find that there are 30 protesters and 7,000 fans. Wow, I guess they were right, he isn’t welcome in Seattle!/SAR

I guess they have never heard of a Gadsden Flag, it is a "yellow flag with, Don't tread on me" on it.

That’s a pretty good crowd. I didn’t think there were 7,000 conservatives in Seattle.

From your link:

“One protester, Don Sly of Seattle, held a tongue-in-cheek welcome sign that said: “Sure he’s an idiot bigot, but he’s our idiot bigot.”

LOL.

Wonder if Beck took the time at this event to explain his off the wall rhetoric concerning his belief that McCain-Palin would have been worse for America than Obama-Biden. So far, Beck's explanations have been nothing but empty headed BS. Pure sophistry.

The idea that Beck can believe a Black Marxist is better than McCain and a hardcore liberal like “Plugs” Biden offers a better leadership alternative than traditionalist and conservative Sarah Palin, borders on irrational thought.

Actually there weren’t any protesters...the Left just offered 30 Starbucks’ers a freebie if they’d stand outside the nearest Starbucks and hold a sign.

"...a torrent of anger ..."

????

Funny how when the scumbag demoncrats (and I mean every single person) are "angry" it is announced with pride because it shows the righteousness of the Marxist ideology they support.

OTOH, when 5-6 hundred thousand Americans gather in DC to show "anger" as they protest the hideous rape of the former Constitution, this "anger" clearly indicates the dangerous mindset of a domestic terrorist.

It is really funny.

It shows where the newspaper’s brains, if any, are.

7,000 fans inside and I think I read that they paid to get in.

30 protesters outside.

And the headline is “a torrent of opposition”.

My God, those 30 must be something if they are more impressive than the 7,000.

Obama is speaking LIVE and Fox is covering it on a Saturday?

It’s football day at our house so I had no idea!

"I guess they have never heard of a Gadsden Flag, it is a "yellow flag with, Don't tread on me" on it."

That caught my attention as well. A journalist can't do a quick internet search on something with which they are not familiar?

It has been PAINFUL to watch Beck try to defend the indefensible and I like Glenn Beck.
