If you ever want to take the political pulse of America, just grab some popcorn and watch any twitter hash tag from the conservative right. For your reading pleasure I offer you the following sample of tweets from the left aimed at Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor Rally.

I didn’t cherry pick these, I just scrolled down the list I had in my TweetDeck cache. Keep it classy libs. Free speech is a right, making a complete fool of yourself is purely optional.
As expected, the press is ignoring yet another massive gathering of Americans in Washington D.C. Judging from capacity estimates of the area it looks like at least 600,000 people are attending the Restoring Honor Rally. Here are a few screen captures of the event to give everyone an idea of the scope of this rally. It is NOT a protest, it is a RALLY. Let’s see how the leftward press reports it later today. Feel free to share and distribute this images to help educate Americans to the truth!
Fox is acting stupidly.
Glenn Beck is the one loud voice that conservatives (NOT Republicans) can depend on to provide new content that other networks and hosts simply will not cover. Glenn and his team are helping to shine a light into the deep dark corners of this Administration where no reporters will go. And, Glenn is more than willing to call out the corruption and lies that are out there in the open, plain as day for all to see. And Glenn regularly asks his viewers to Tivo his shows and share them with others. Doing so will help get the message out to the politically apathetic or unaware.
But why is Fox News throwing down the copyright hammer so forcefully?
There have been several web sites that offered replays of The Glenn Beck Program. And all of them are disappearing. The most recent casualty has been www.newsyoucanbelieve.com.
For the past couple of months Glenn has changed his approach from the “we’re all gonna die” panic presentations to a calmer and more informative approach. But what I have really come to appreciate is just how well-researched his presentations are. He makes connections and then displays them all to see in a usually understandable format.
But once the show is over, you can’t find the content anywhere. Newer Tivo’s prevent shows from being transferred to computers for archival. And now Fox News is strictly enforcing its copyright protections. So, I ask all of you, including those on the left: “If Fox News is so conservative, why isn’t it letting all of this content remain online for the world to see?”
Glenn, here’s a nice capitalist idea: Make all of your television shows available to premium/extreme insiders. Or charge more for a Super Duper Extreme option, and include pictures of all of your chalk board diagrams so we can use them to educate the “80″ part of the 10-80-10 ratio you talked about in April. I’m just sayin’…
Hate Glenn Beck? Think he’s nothing more than an entertainer trying to make a buck? I think you are wrong, but that’s just my opinion. I would like you to consider for just a moment suspending your dislike of him to ask yourself “what if he is right?” What if even 1/10th of what he says is true? I happen to think that he’s right nine times out of ten, and I’ve reached that conclusion by doing my own research.
The problem I have with so many liberals is that many of them fail to consider alternative viewpoints. They assume if a story was on Fox News that it was a lie. (If you honestly think about that for a moment you should realize just how stupid that viewpoint really is.) They assume if Glenn Beck said it that it was a lie. They don’t bother checking the fact because they just know that they are correct.
So Einstein, what if you’re wrong? Glenn outed ACORN. Glenn exposed Van Jones. Glenn has called out politician after politician and has been right almost every time. But most liberals just ignore the facts because of the source. Why? Because when you can’t win on facts its easier to ignore them. Its easier to make fun of Glenn Beck. Its easier to blame it all on George W. Bush.
For example: Many liberals love to puff out their chests and claim that the founding fathers were not religious and/or America was not founded on Judeo/Christian values. Why do they think this? Because that is what they were taught in school, or especially in college. Well, here’s a video that dispels many of the falsehoods propagated by liberal professors and factually inaccurate history books. This is a ten minute highlight reel from the April 8, 2010 Glenn Beck television show titled “Faith of our Founders.” Enjoy, and let me know if you find any errors in the content.
