I just got home after a long day in DC and watched the recording of Glenn Beck's Two Hour Coverage of the DC Tea Party event while it happened. To say I was mildly disgusted is an understatement.
First, there was the constant thanks to Glenn on how "you made it all happen". Yes, Glenn publicized it. Yes, Glenn came up with the "9/12 Project", after the Tea Parties were already being held nationwide. So he did have a hand in getting some people excited about it. But it was all about Glenn? Holy crap! More on that in a minute.
Second, too many times during his broadcast I see things like "9/12'ers rally" at the bottom of the screen. Really? Because being there myself I found few signs for Beck or The 9/12 Project. Having personally talked to many, not a one mentioned it. They were there for America. Not some guy on TV with enough money to put up a website and push people to it with free advertising on his show . Sorry, but that's the fact.
Third, you have a million plus standing in front of the Capital Dome of the United States and you show a whopping 5 minutes or so of coverage? What the hell was wrong with this guy? They go to the crowd about 3 times. Once was to a woman who had already been interviewed by Molly Hennenberg just a few minutes before on Brian Williams really poor coverage of the event. The other time, you end up talking to a woman who was an organizer of a 9/12 group. Wow, was that coincidence?

"Come on, follow me, America."
The whole point of Glenn is to usurp the leadership, Dr. Paul, of this freedom group. It is a phony msm plot. He is NOT what this movement is about at all, he is just giving himself credit so that he feels justified in telling us to vote for Palin when the time comes. He has alllllll the answers. Ugh.
Yeah, in general Glenn and
Yeah, in general Glenn and the 9/12 has usurped the credit for all the activism. Not saying he is not a large contributing factor... maybe even the biggest current factor.
But all the credit seems to be being heaped at his feet. I had an example of it last night at a local GOP meeting where Glenn was given credit for all the Tea Party stuff.
And there I am resisting the urge to point out that it was the Ron Paul grassroots that really started it all. Glenn just jumped on the band wagon and helped it grow.
Glenn Beck is a selfish, self-serving pig. Period.
Beck would throw Ron Paul and the rest of us under the bus as quickly as he could profit personally from it.
And that is not difficult since his bosses seem to favor the status quo and despise our independence.

last night at the bookstore I went through one of the many books he put out there and I found only one mention of Ron Paul in it and even that was in the context of MIAC report...
