Gee, if thats all the "lies" Beck has told in his hundreds of radio/tv shows, then he's been pretty spot on. No wonder you guys fear him so much. Damn those pesky kids who expose liberal progressives evil plans!
No, that is a very incomplete list. Many, many places list his lies and are more frequently updated; they're just more aggravating to dig up and link to. You can see video and hear audio of Glenn lying, and contrast them with the well-sourced facts, at MediaMatters; it's probably the most complete source. Just search "Glenn Beck" -- unless you're not allowed to go there
Some of you should really actually read, research, and learn before you start taking shots.
The money raised, went to SOWF. Special Operations Warriors Foundation. A foundation that raises money for the kids of Special Operations soldiers who lose their lives. The money is to help fund the kids college education.
Oh and over $5 million was raised.
------------------------------------------------
And to the regular Beck and conservative haters who plague this board with mostly hateful crap. When someone on the Left, especially one of your beloved loud mouth liberal radio/tv hosts, has a rally of this size to promote good, peace, honor while at the same time raising millions for such a good cause....let me know. I dont seem to recall any of the big mouths on the left doing much of anything for good. They dont get involved and they dont spend their own money to do anything even close to what Beck did for the Rally.
When one of these hosts holds a PEACEFUL gathering not filled with hate and anger and vulgarness, let me know. When they hold a gathering of hundreds of thousands and the crowd actually behaves and cleans up after themselves, let me know.
It hasnt happened, and it most likely will never happen. But go ahead, keep your hate, anger, and jealousy directed at Glenn Beck, his listeners, and Conservatives, if that is what makes you feel better.

PLEASE NOTE: All contributions made to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF), either directly or through the auction proceeds, will first be applied to the costs of the Restoring Honor Rally taking place on August 28, 2010. All contributions in excess of these costs will then be retained by the SOWF.
Various sites have estimated the costs of the rally to be $2 million and the check to SOWF to be about $5 million.
Appears that Beck and Palin did OK, as did the charity.
The Special Operations Warrior Foundation provides full scholarship grants and educational and family counseling to the surviving children of special operations personnel who die in operational or training missions and immediate financial assistance to severely wounded special operations personnel and their families.
Can you provide us with documentation that would establish Mr. Beck as a liar?
Please be specific.
has anyone mentioned when he said at his rally..."I went to the National Archives, and I held the first inaugural address written in his own hand by George Washington."

Yeah, what's the rest of that story? Maybe one of Glennie's students will come along and fill it in.
So I saw 15 people interviewed on that "expose", what percentage does that come out to when there were 100,000 people there? (We all know there were more than 100,000 of course but let's be conservative).
Some of you on the right have expressed your anger at the video. I don't understand why. I'd think you'd be 100% supportive of people expressing their views, even if those views appear to be bigoted, racist, or just plain ignorant. But, no. You slam the left and accuse them of misrepresenting people you claim are like yourselves. Essentially, those of you on the right are acting out because it is embarrassing to watch. Instead of fighting your supposed enemy (the left) why not educate yourselves and the people that too often symbolize your side of the aisle? Isn't that a better strategy?
There is ignorance on the right AND on the left--and even in the middle! Until we eliminate all manners by which people remain ignorant, we'll still have videos like this one. Hmm, come to think of it, I can't think of ever seeing a video that shows liberals being ignorant. I wonder why there's so few of them?

Like the New Black Panther Party represents the left and those people are "like yourselves" on the left? Is that the type of straw-man you're propping up here?

They've been trained to believe that a liberal arts education is elitist and weak. Vocational school is where real Americans go.
But they don't see the cruelty against them in that training.

Yes, and my answer was that over 5 million went to SOWF. They are a very repretible organization. If someone is questioning what they do with the money exactly, then they should go to their website and contact them. After listening to people associated with and who've been helped, I have no doubt that the money raised goes where it is suppose to.
