I'm not a huge Beck fan, but I really fail to see what issue several posters are having with the rally. I watched the whole thing ... it wasn't negative, it wasn't degrogatory, it was overwhelming a positive thing. (Which is something I really can't say about the other rally.)

And what's so damned bad with a positive uplifting message?

My God, it's like some people on this board are the living breathing incarnation of Joe Bfstplk. (Get to googling, people.)
That's all they have. They can't articulate even WHY they hate, they just do, probably based on fear, which leads to the mindless lashing out at people who did a GOOD deed for the children of soldiers.

I mean, what kind of creature would take offense at a harmless rally, calling for unity and that also happened to raise MILLIONS of dollars for some needy kids.

It really is unbelievable the level of viciousness and crazed frothing from the Left.

Yes, it was, considering the foundation was a co-sponsor. And even if it wasn't, does that somehow minimize the event in your mind.

They don't know why, they can't even give examples that fills them with hate. Probably cause the targets of their hate are on the wrong side ideology. We all know the Left is intolerant of ideas, thought, opinions that don't agree with theirs.

Isn't this the kind of stuff the Left claims they're all about? DIdin't they just stand up for some mosque in NYC, declaring their absolute rights, yet they become unhinged when conservatives want to peaceably assemble.

Truly amazing to watch the hypocrisy in action.

Actually I try to buy American made products not so much of a chance of lead or other contaminates, and yes most people especially blacks are not offended by the n word,in fact they use it all the time. and I dont mind when they call me a cracker or whitey either. just the MSM brings it up to stir the pot for people like you. us regular working folk could care less but good to know you have something else to worry about. bored are we?

Yeah, you wish it failed. Instead, hundreds of thousands showed up, thereby sending the Left into a tailspin.

The Left wouldn't know it if it smacked them upside the head. No reason to waste time or fingers in reply.

You might be right, I'm pretty sure Beck has WAY more than 87,000 racist followers.

I no longer know who or what you mean when you say "Left". It's completely and utterly meaningless.
