Glenn Beck Responds To Al Sharpton: “What Part Of Honor Are You Against?”

video
» 217 comments

Glenn Beck is holding his ‘Restoring Honor’ rally this Saturday at the foot of the Lincoln memorial in Washington D.C., on what will be the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King‘s ‘I Have A Dream‘ Speech. Some people have taken issue with the overlapping of dates. One of those people is Al Sharpton, who went on Fox & Friends on Tuesday (video below) to discuss why he has a problem with it.

Essentially it sounds like Sharpton’s issues have less to do with the overlap than the fact the rally is not specifically about Martin Luther King. Though, a cynic might suggest what is really needling Sharpton is that Beck’s rally will likely be significantly bigger than the one Sharpton holds on the same date in D.C. every year to celebrate the speech. Martin Luther King’s son, meanwhile, is slightly more nuanced on the subject.

For his part Beck says he wasn’t aware of the anniversary when they chose the date, simply that it was the only Saturday the entire Mall was available that wasn’t Sept. 11. Also, Martin Luther King is honorable and anyway “what part of honor are you against?!” Later Additionally, Beck says once he realized the date connection he began taking interest in the speech and shortly thereafter discovered MLK was also talking about character, and responsibility, and, yes, honor. Timeline-wise this makes sense and might explain Beck’s recent fascination with the Civil Rights movement and African Americans in general.

Meanwhile, WaPo is speculating that Saturday’s rally will “test the strength – and potentially expose the weaknesses – of a conservative grass-roots movement that remains an unpredictable force in the country’s politics.” I for one think the only thing Saturday’s rally is going to be a measure of is the power of Glenn Beck, Tea Party on otherwise. We shall see. Sharton and Beck’s segment below, courtesy of Johnny Dollar.

    For Al to be be against honor, he’d have to know what it was.

  • The Real Royal King

    Speaking of honor, this is shaping up to be one of the little O’Hannity/O’North support the troop scams. O’Beckerhead is only going to distribute net receipts, of which there will be little. This is a dishonorable gathering, at best.

    Keep the pot boiling and turn up the heat,

    What of it, that’s simply our fans red meat ,
    Of course, it’s not news, but they’ll still buy it.

    Purina, Il Douchey, O’Kilmead and Beckerhead. That’s some awful television programming. Probably the most inane programming since “My Mother the Car”.

    Al stirring up hatred did end up getting people killed in the Tawana Brawley and Freddie’s Fashion Mart incidents, but Al did it with honor.

  • NORBIT

    You mean Race-Baiting Tawana Sharpton?
    Freddie’s in Harlem (where riots killed!) Tawana Sharpton?
    Crown Heights (where riots killed!) Tawana Sharpton?

    Tawana Sharpton is a Race-Baiting Carnival Barker, who lives in a Lilly-White ‘hood’, and never shows up for his “people” unless there’s a white face involved, and Race-Baiting Publicity to be Had!

    …as are his supporters!!!!

    It is laughable that Glenn Beck is taken seriously. Worse, that he is even mentioned in the same breath as MLK. If you compare their accomplishments, it’s a joke (see what I mean here http://bit.ly/bs5DPm)

  • JimBob

    Al Sharpton is a “Race Baiting” Poverty Pimp! What else is new!
    Pretends he is intelligent ! Has a very hard time pulling THAT off.
    But always look for him to show up if he can get some face time.

    FACE?????

    King, just how far does your ‘black people can do no wrong’ obsession go? When black serial killer Alton Coleman was convicted for stomping a little black girl to death, would it be your contention that he must have been a good guy because he was black? Man, you are one twisted individual.

    Sharpton takes issue with Beck holding a rally about honor, at a certain location, because a speech was given there, 47 years ago.

    The Ground Zero mosque supporters don’t take issue with the location of erecting a Muslim Cultural Center and mosque at ground zero where 3000 people were murdered by Muslim extremists.

    Weird. Seems the Left feels that only they can determine the locations of things, and only they have the right to sensitivities.

    (Is it true that Muslims erect mosques on conquered land?)

  • The_Reasonable_Lib

    I believe MLK’s namesake puts it perfectly. It’s the hateful rhetoric that Beck spews which makes people object to this. It goes against the beliefs of the man who held his own event here on this day, you’re not restoring honor, you’re destroying it. Dr. King would endorse his right, but not his words, their beliefs are worlds apart. As a matter of fact, Glenn would characterize King as one of those evil socialists destroying America.

  • paulmdoro

    Al Sharpton is not “the left.” It’s not rocket science people. He doesn’t represent “the left” any more than Pat Robertson represents “the right.” He’s one person.

  • Dosser

    I love how Sharpton keeps the bigots on their toes,stupidity of this nature will not be allowed to proceed in this nation unopposed,sorry! Of course he doesn’t come close to the beauty of the NAACP.
    Does anybody remember the hissyfit the teatwits threw after the iconic Civil Rights organization,NAACP,fully condemned them??? ohhh it was beautiful,made the twits dance like wildfire! haha. btw all you beckers don’t forget to take the blue line north,watch out for the ‘darkies’.Don’t bother visiting the WH this year though,[psssss] i hear there’s a ‘darkie’ living there now.Be careful guys….

    This is a clumsy, disjointed analogy which seems to set up Beckerhead as a Muslim extremist. I’m sure you didn’t want to set up your demi-god as such. In any event, I question the wisdom of anyone, perhaps an expatriate not in touch with America, exploiting this issue further. Perhaps, you haven’t heard that a New York cab driver was almost murdered as the result of the domestic vitriol and hate-mongering we already had. It seems to be imprudent to add more.

    Speaking of Hoover, he’s another man that conservatives idolize, and he was a monster. He openly opposed civil rights advancement and committed numerous human rights violations. Did you know he actually placed FBI agents among Marcus Garvey’s Black Star shipping lines crew and had them take money and sabotage ships? I guess he wasn’t racist either though.

  • writer

    “Unlike you, I am a firm believer in the rule of law.”

    You said it in your 10:46 post, King. But I don’t blame you for ‘forgetting’. That was a long time ago.

    Hoover’s FBI also wrote “anonymous” letters to King telling him to kill himself for the benefit of mankind.

    So, it is true? I have heard this often, but didn’t kow if it was true. If it is, then the mosque absolutely should not be allowed there. Especially, as I have also read, if they ground breaking was supposed to happen on 9/11. I really don’t know how you could be any more obvious….

    Hmmm, yet another case of opposition to allow Conservatives to hold something in a certain location – but yet those who oppose the mosque are just racist or anti-islamic. huh….

    “A conservative group has been banned from holding a rally at Illinois’s Old State Capitol because the site prohibits political demonstrations — yet it’s the same place where President Obama announced his run for president and later, his choice of Joe Biden for vice president.”
    “The request of another conservative group, the Central Illinois 9/12 Project, to assemble at the Old State Capitol on April 15 also was rejected.”

    No, I don’t think that that is a current practice. The example everyone likes to use is the Great Mosque of Cordoba, which was converted from a church in the 8th century. But, at the same time, Christian conquerors were erecting churches. As I said, conquerors need a place to worship, so they build a house of worship. I don’t think that it is purely an Islam thing.

    I also don’t think the ground breaking was supposed to be on 9/11. I’ve only read that in blogs and comments.

    Glenn Beck’s mocking of president Obama’s daughter despite his urging to leave children out of things. – You should change your name to unreasonable Lib. As you VERY well know, Beck was mocking Obama, not Malia. And he apologized – why, I don’t know, but he felt bad.

    Glenn Beck’s denouncement of the president with no proof. – No PROOF? Are you kidding? 20 years in a racist church, his quick judgment on things like Skippy Gates, his comment about his grandma calling her a typical white person, etc. There is a looooooooooooong list of support, including comments in Obama’s own books about white man’s greed, etc.

    Glenn Beck’s consistent cry that progressives are destroying america. – that’s opinion, not hate. He also provides evidence to back it up.

    Glenn Beck’s statement that he could actually kill Michael Moore. – who doesn’t?

    Glenn Beck’s LIE that Imam Rauf’s wife said all americans hate muslims. –
    Amanpour asked Khan, “Is America Islamophobic? Are you concerned about the long-term relationship between American Muslims and the rest of society here?” Khan replied:

    KHAN: Yes, I think we are deeply concerned, because this is like a metastasized anti-Semitism. That’s what we feel right now. It’s not even Islamophobia, it’s beyond Islamophobia. It’s hate of Muslims. And we are deeply concerned. You know, I have had — yesterday, had a council with all religious — Muslim religious leaders from around the country, and everybody is deeply concerned about what’s going on around the nation.

    Beck played these same comments from Khan on his Fox News show the night before and said (via Nexis): “All right. So, now, let me see if I have this right. Anyone opposed to building of this mosque, it’s just pure hatred of Muslims. It has nothing to do with a few questions like where is the money coming from to build this mosque? Who is involved in this mosque?”

    Sounds like she is saying America is Islamaphobic/has hatered towards Islam to me…

    Glenn Beck’s attempt to portray Obama as a muslim knowing the stigma America has on such. – what is wrong with being a Muslim? When has Beck portrayed Obama as a Muslim? I recall him saying Obama is not a Muslim.

    Glenn Beck’s decrying social justice among churches despite the fact that that is all the bible speaks of. Glenn Beck’s constant distortion of history and facts. – hateful rhetoric? You are kind of sensitive, aren’t you?

  • moriarty70

    I’d love to see Beck restore honour. I’d like for him to start at home. An honourable man does not demonize the people he disagree’s with. He wouldn’t claim these people hate America and want to destroy the country just because they see different answers for the same problem.

    An honourable man would treat people with decency and respect in public and not mock his disenters on public radio.

  • libra blue

    Of course Al “Tawana Brawley/Crown Heights/Freddie’s Fashion Mart” Sharpton knows all about “honor and bringing people together! Sharpton wouldn’t know honor if it kicked him in the balls!

    Sharpton and MLK Jr. don’t own the Lincoln Memorial and they aren’t the ones who give permission for who can hold rallies there. No matter what anyone thinks of Beck.

    @sarainitaly,

    “Sharpton takes issue with Beck holding a rally about honor, at a certain location, because a speech was given there, 47 years ago.

    The Ground Zero mosque supporters don’t take issue with the location of erecting a Muslim Cultural Center and mosque at ground zero where 3000 people were murdered by Muslim extremists.

    Weird. Seems the Left feels that only they can determine the locations of things, and only they have the right to sensitivities.”

  • newzmaker

    Beck should just do his thing and not bring all these outsiders, like Sharpton, into the mix. Freedom of assembly is a right in America and the ”sensitivity” of Beck’s opponents, has to be secondary, whatever [sensitivity] means, in this instance. Besides, hasn’t the fringe left been screaming for weeks, that the sensitivity of the families of 9-11 victims, is secondary to freedom of religion, in building a mosque at GZ? I not only insist, but demand, that the fringe left stop harassing Beck and his guests, on Saturday. And, no, I’m not a Beck follower, but I do defend freedom of assembly. Beck should really concern himself, mostly, with making sure all the attendants at his rally, have adequate security and protection, from outside agitators. Beck’s opponents, in the interest of coming together as a nation, should offer to clean up the grounds, when the rally is over. Other than that, just sit down and shut up. Just calm down and shut the hell up.

    @paulmdoro, “Al Sharpton is not “the left.”

    Then why does the msm keep using him as though he represents the left? Whenever there is a question about racial issues CNN calls in the biggest race baiters they can find, Rev. Al and Roland Martin, to address it. I don’t see Pat Robertson coming on FNC.

    If Sharpton and Martin are the best the left can offer to represent their side they have a bigger problem than they think.

    Glenn Beck’s LIE that Imam Rauf’s wife said all americans hate muslims. –
    Amanpour asked Khan, “Is America Islamophobic? Are you concerned about the long-term relationship between American Muslims and the rest of society here?” Khan replied:

    KHAN: Yes, I think we are deeply concerned, because this is like a metastasized anti-Semitism. That’s what we feel right now. It’s not even Islamophobia, it’s beyond Islamophobia. It’s hate of Muslims. And we are deeply concerned. You know, I have had — yesterday, had a council with all religious — Muslim religious leaders from around the country, and everybody is deeply concerned about what’s going on around the nation.

    Beck played these same comments from Khan on his Fox News show the night before and said (via Nexis): “All right. So, now, let me see if I have this right. Anyone opposed to building of this mosque, it’s just pure hatred of Muslims. It has nothing to do with a few questions like where is the money coming from to build this mosque? Who is involved in this mosque?”

    Sounds like she is saying America is Islamaphobic/has hatered towards Islam to me…

    Um, no, that’s not what she said at all. The question, for the most part, wasn’t about the mosque as it was about a general feeling of hatred that has emerged in this country. (Actually, the hatred extends back to its roots after the Ayotollah took control of Iran. Great editorial in NY Daily News piece about an older Muslim who came to this country and found a place of worship inside the St. Paul’s cathedral in downtown Manhattan for him and his Muslim neighbors. He was floored and instantly loved our country because of its tolerance, which he claims has certainly disappeared over the years, and makes me sad that the same level of tolerance has slowly eroded. But again, he said that it wasn’t all because of 9/11, but stemmed from the fall of moderate Muslim ideology in Iran back in 1979. It’s a touching story and should make people holding anti-Islamic sentiments feel bad…but I know it won’t). I don’t think she mentioned the word mosque or opposition or Ground Zero. I think she was talking about an anti-Muslim feelings (see the cab driver stabbed in the neck in NY) that are taking control here in the country. She didn’t say all Americans are anti-Muslim (the question was about Muslim Americans who still should count as Americans). And do you think they shouldn’t be deeply concerned that an entire religion is being villainized based on the actions of extremists? I certainly would. So, see Beck spun the words and created an editorial that blurred the line of what was being said to further his own agenda (every pundit does this from Beck to Olbermann). But yet, you ate it up and really didn’t examine what was said. And then it feeds into the “Well, Khan thinks all Americans hate Muslims.” Again, she didn’t say that. If she did, she didn’t say it in that quote. See, how a misinterpretation can be harmful.

    I never said Beck supported social justice, at least not Sharpton’s definition of it, but let’s not pretend that Sharpton is any more honorable. And Beck is not responsible for leading rallies that caused riots and deaths and destruction as Sharpton has. Therein lies the difference, a big difference that gets overlooked by CNN.

    I think it is important to mention that all of those mosques were either built or converted centuries ago, with the most recent (Babri) having been constructed in the 16th century. The others were completed before the end of the first millennia AD.

    Okay, quick question, and I’d love to get an answer, what were the years of those? Yes, Muslims built mosques in conquered lands. It was common practice in history. Did you see the churches in America (actual conquered land that was conquered from the native Americans and we sure built churches like gang busters, didn’t we. But of course that was over 200 years ago. Is it still a common practice? Are we still conquering like mother fuckers with a manifest destiny hard on? (short answer, no.) ). And do you think the Muslims conquered us? Which muslims? I don’t know if you know this, but see, there are multiple Muslim nations, each with their own government and their own rules and interpretation of the laws of the Koran. And there are a lot of in fighting between the Muslim community (similar to here, so like us), so my question is, Who conquered us? The Persian empire doesn’t exist and there is no Muslim empire. Osama Bin Laden (the one who attacked us) isn’t building the mosque (community center, it would be the largest Islamic Community Center. Just like the YMCA on 92nd St. isn’t the largest church in the United States). And then, you say that Khan is crazy for thinking that there is an anti-Muslim sentiment in this country. Your comments scream it from the rooftops. It’s a lack of understanding of how the world actually works (I’m talking based on empire building and land conquering and what not. You probably understand other elements on how the world works). But it’s easy to throw up things that happened in history as proof that we should be afraid. Kind of how black people mention a fear of white people based on their treatment in history. But you don’t think that’s right, do you.

    It is also of historical precedence that black people were oppressed and abused by white people. But if a black person says, Hey, I don’t like white people based on this historical precedence you would be quick to call them racist. So, I can be quick to call you an Islamaphobe. Again, when was the last time this happened?

    Also, they took that place to build it because they got a deal and was the prime spot for location and price. They didn’t do it “to declare victory on America.” So, if you are fine with having them build away from the site, then why isn’t it a “victory” to build it there?

    Now, there lack of understanding is bullshit. There intentions weren’t to slap America in the face. They are Americans doing this after all. Of course, now, I think they have to move it, and its sad that they have to. There intentions were noble and good. And a bunch of people who do not understand truly what happened on 9/11 or even the true feelings of other religions, a bigoted, biased, hurtful opinion on another people, will force an attempt to provide a unified peace for the community out. But they should build this center, and they should open their doors wider. And then the jerks who sat there and called them terrorists or a victory mosque will see what tolerance can look like. Of course, they won’t understand what tolerance is, but I least they can see what it looks like.

    And by the way, 9/11 wasn’t an act to conquer a land (they did a shit job of it, seeing as how no other troops came in to secure the land or any other machinations that a true conquering nation would’ve used), it was a spineless act of evil hidden behind religion (that’s where the best evils tend to hide), an act of revenge (don’t make it seem like I think we deserved it, we didn’t.). But it’s easier to hate and fear if you just say conquering nation.

    The weird thing is that they intended to build bridges, but of course, we tore that fucking bridge down before they even had a chance to put the foundation in.

    You are so right, Glynnis, the rally will definitely show the power of Beck, not in terms of message but sheer volume of people who attend the rally.

    There are hundreds/thousands of mosques in NY/US. Obviously they have been free to build elsewhere. People are asking that they show some sensitivity and NOT erect this at the site of ground zero. If they moved it, they could build it, and no one would get hurt. They don’t want to. Who are the insensitive ones?

    “There [sic] intentions were noble and good.” And you know this, how, exactly? Would you bet your life on it? Do you know where the money is coming from? Why is the developer running from the press?

    I typed in mosque developer running from press and got this story: http://www.mlive.com/newsflash/index.ssf/story/mosque-developer-claims-a-classic-nyc-background/981e9dd090ec4356b865b3282afe64a6

    I’m assuming you mean because he has deflected interview requests (a developer, not a politician, not a celebrity, but a businessman with zero previous press experience diverting to his publicist is probably a smart thing to do.) that means he is running from the press and has something to hide. Also, read up on his history, sounds pretty American to me. Seems like his inspiration for a community center was inspired by a Jewish community center and a Christian community center (the 92nd St. Y which I’ve been to, it’s nice) that transcended above religion to be an outreach to the community. Seems that must mean the Jews and the Christians are in on this victory mosque as well. In other words, yes, I’d bet my life on it. Because I would bet my life on the ideals of my country. I live in New York, I hang out with Muslims (not a single one wants to kill me or feel that 9/11 was a victory for Muslims everywhere. I also have black friends – last line was meant as joke) And who are the insensitive ones? Have you thought for a moment what this hate for the mosque, for these people who weren’t even responsible for the attacks of 9/11, just happen to be the same religion, what that does to them. They are, after all, Americans as well as Muslims. And there’s more of them than 9/11 families (I’m not saying we shouldn’t be sensitive to the 9/11 families, but there are stories that show that a good portion of those families are NOT against the mosque. But either way, the sensitivity argument is just a red herring. I don’t think those opposing the mosque outside of the 9/11 families really give two flying fucks about sensitivity. After all they are willing to villainize an entire group of people just because they have a religious connection with a violent group.). Oh, and by building it there, who’s getting hurt? Are you talking an emotional pain or a physical pain. Do you think they are putting themselves or others in danger?

    Look, I know I’m not going to change your mind. You are dead set on thinking that the Muslim religion is set to conquer and destroy America. But hopefully someone who is on the fence will read what a reasonable argument sounds like and I can push them to my side.

    Okay, we’re done Libra, only because you are missing the point of the argument. Has nothing to do with how I feel about black history or slavery or any of that right now. We can debate that at another time. What you are doing is taking the focus away from my point. Sarah was saying that Muslims would build mosques on conquered lands. Something that was done centuries ago. I was pointing out how it was the same as saying black responses to white people due to (recent) history was considered racist but her statement wasn’t considered Islamaphobic. I’m sure she appreciates you taking the focus away from my argument. But again, that point was not what I was arguing.

    Wait, so the terrorists were Muslim, therefore all mosques are terrorist connected. Is that your point? Did I say that there wouldn’t be connection to mosques and terror? No, I’m saying this one isn’t. I’ve brought up a couple of points here and there, and this is the one you bring up. Yes, the terrorists were Islamic, I’m not denying it. I even said they hid their evil behind religion, so of course I’m not saying there wouldn’t be a connection to a mosque and the terrorist. But this one (as well as a great majority of them in this and other countries, I went to the Blue Mosque in Turkey, beautiful place, also, no terrorists) isn’t. And it’s very Islamaphobic to think that a handful equals all. What of the other points? The history issue? The fact that Beck’s interpretation of what Khan said was just that, an interpretation and not a fact? The developer’s personal history? Who gets hurt with the building of the Islamic Center? I know I do write quite a bit. But it’s because I don’t think that debates should be solved with some quick sound bites and repeated talking points.

    sara in italy: I’m at work or I’d write more, but thank you for representing the voice of reason around here! you go girl!

    real quickly, for most of the rest of you:

    -Glenn Beck and MLK Jr. both believe in equal rights, personal responsibility, and content of character over color of skin.

    -”social justice” is a code word for the leftist creed of equal OUTCOMES, which is the exact opposite of equal OPPORTUNITY, which is what MLK fought and died for.

    -Jesus asked us to help “the least of us,” he didn’t say “give your money to the government and they’ll decide who deserves it.” Beck has explained this several times. there’s a difference between giving of your time and money, and the government FORCING YOU TO GIVE OF YOUR TIME AND MONEY.

    -if a black person says something bad about a white person, we might agree or disagree, but we don’t call the black person a racist. if someone says that Israel is trying to kill Palestinians we don’t–we’re not allowed!–to call the person an anti-Semite. but if someone says “gee, I don’t think the Muslims should build the mosque just right there–they should move it a couple of blocks”–suddenlly the whole country is made up of evil Muslim-hating bigots. why is that?

    -by the way, do you guys know how moronic you sound when half your comments consist of making up mean names for people? seriously, are you people still really saying “teabagger”? do you not realize that nobody cares anymore and it just makes you sound stupider? and “Beckerhead”? how is that even a slam? if you stuck to the issues at hand people might take you more seriously. might.

    People who oppose the mosque (community center) for sensitivity reasons are not hatemongers, they are very much myopic and not really seeing the whole historic picture. But I do believe those who say they shouldn’t build here because they are conquering lands and lumping all Islam into terrorism is hatemongering. No, that’s wrong, it’s fearmongering. Unfounded fearmongering. I disagree with the entire debate, and it will be a blot on this country’s history, right up there with opposition of civil rights and McCarthyism. People using fear to relinquish our rights. That will last longer than any insensitivity. And I care about the notion of America so much that I don’t want that blot on our record. And just by saying one side is saying you are hatemongerings makes them hatemongerers doesn’t lessen the hate from either side. The hate and the fear is there, and we are sitting within a tight window so we can’t see it. But others will see it. Particularly our grandchildren reading history books.

    No. Social Justice is too old to be a ‘leftist code word’. Social Justice refers to the development of an egalitarian institution based on equality and the recognized dignity of every human being. That is what MLK fought and died for. King was one of the strongest advocates for Social Justice. Civil Rights is part of Social Justice.

    Social Justice argues for equal opportunity. It does not necessarily mean ‘equal outcomes’, something that I, as a liberal, recognize as largely impossible.

    Social Justice was originally based off of the teachings of Thomas Aquinas. It is a major tenant for many denominations of Christianity, such as Catholicism and Methodism.

    MLK fought and died for Social Justice. Beck lambasted Social Justice. I have no problem with Beck’s speech or the location, I just find it strange that a man who advocates against the very thing King advocated for the most would think to ‘honor’ him for helping achieve a goal of Social Justice.

The only person against social justice is one who is against equal opportunity. But, like feminism, the term has been hijacked by certain people who know how to use it to make a buck. Too often when one hears the term “social justice,” many hear, “Get even with Whitey.” I like your classical interpretation though. Thomas Aquinas was an interesting thinker.

    It doesn’t matter whether you think they “conquered” on 9/11, the terrorists do. They brought our travel industry to a grounding halt. They brought companies to their knees. They wiped out three buildings. They killed 3000 people. Brought down the market, insurance companies and more. If you don’t think they consider that a conquest you are fooling yourself.

    http://www.thefreedictionary.com/conquered There is more than one meaning to conquest.

    Why are you so insistent on trying to prove, so obsessed with proving that America was conquered? Do you have any notion at all how utterly sick that is? Are you just trying to avoid admitting you made an utterly bone-headed remark, or do you take some sadistic pleasure in America being defeated and subjugated? I don’t get this at all, but I do find it revolting. I suspect others do as well.

    That might be. But it is also just as likely that they are alluding to the traditional view of Cordoba as a location of religious tolerance between the faiths of Abraham. Granted, I realize that that tolerance only extended so far but still, I find that to be a more honest explanation for the name.

    I can’t say I much care what you say about me, but to disparage a great man, a great mind, a great theologian, who wrote the hymn below is unconscionable. St. Thomas Aquinas may have been the Man of the Preceding Millenium. Why in the world would you be so flip about him?

    Humbly I adore thee,
    Verity unseen,
    who thy glory hidest
    ‘neath these shadows mean;
    lo, to thee surrendered,
    my whole heart is bowed,
    tranced as it beholds thee,
    shrined within the cloud.

    Taste and touch and vision
    to discern thee fail;
    faith, that comes by hearing,
    pierces through the veil.
    I believe whate’er
    the Son of God hath told;
    what the Truth hath spoken,
    that for truth I hold.

    O memorial wondrous
    of the Lord’s own death;
    living Bread that givest all
    they creatures breath,
    grant my spirit ever by
    thy life may live,
    to my taste thy sweetness
    never failing give.

    Jesus, whom now hidden,
    I by faith behold,
    what my soul doth long for,
    that thy word foretold;
    face to face thy splendor,
    I at last shall see,
    in the glorious vision,
    blessed Lord, of thee.

    Stephen, you call yourself a liberal. You seem more moderate to me, for which I commend you. True what you said about social justice. The only person against social justice is one who is against equal opportunity. But, like feminism, the term has been hijacked by certain people who know how to use it to make a buck. Too often when one hears the term “social justice,” many hear, “Get even with Whitey.” I like your classical interpretation though. Thomas Aquinas was an interesting thinker.

    Agreed :)

    I am quite liberal, by the way. I think that my pragmatism might make me appear more moderate.

    I agree completely. And, I think Hegel’s concept of time in relation to God’s saving grace in the world is methodologically suspect. I tend to think he began at the point he wanted to end and worked backward. Still, his analytical processes are breathtaking to me. By contrast, Kirkegaard appeals to my own sense of time, place and purpose much more deeply, but I’d like a better defined framework to get into him.

    Social justice is a farce; the only TRUE justice is justice applied to the individual. If justice is denied to ONE individual, then there is no justice. A similar case is to consider the farce of collective salvation; salvation is applied by God to individuals. If God should withold salvation from one repentent individual because of the acts of others, then God’s word would not be true.

    One of Washington’s principal supporters of the Tea Party movement, former GOP Majority Leader Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks, has been receiving death threats and profanity-laced phone calls as it gets involved in the fall elections. The number and intensity have reached such heights that the organization is leaving its downtown location near the FBI and moving to a high-security building near the U.S. Capitol.

    “FreedomWorks and Dick Armey receive dozens of threatening and harassing calls and E-mails each day. Many imply violence and use of weapons,” spokesman Adam Brandon tells Whispers. “As we get closer to the election we expect the harassment to increase.”

    Yeah, there’s another re-writing of history. Tell me, how did the Civil Rights Act get passed????

    Your rhetoric is just as bad as the “right wing nuts” you loathe.

    Note: “Southern” refers to members of Congress from the eleven states that made up the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. “Northern” refers to members from the other 39 states, regardless of the geographic location of those states.
    The original House version:
    Southern Democrats: 7–87 (7%–93%)
    Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0%–100%)
    Northern Democrats: 145-9 (94%–6%)
    Northern Republicans: 138-24 (85%–15%)
    The Senate version:
    Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5%–95%)
    Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0%–100%)
    Northern Democrats: 45-1 (98%–2%)
    Northern Republicans: 27-5 (84%–16%)

    I won’t get into an argument over semantics here, whether you are “re-writing history” or just misinterpreting it is not central to my point, which is as follows:

    The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed by a large majority of congress with votes coming in from both parties, the only demographic dissenting as a whole being the “Dixie-Crat” element of the Democratic party. Thankfully, that element is no longer a strong voice in either party. To compare what happened in congress along party lines in 1964 to today’s political parties is erroneous. Neither party represents entirely today what they considered the foundations of their platform then.

    Al. Sharpton never ceases to amaze me. He is the most arrogant, hate monger that exists. He is a nobody, just a loud mouth speaking his same ole, same ole, always there to oppose something that will further divide the races. Jesse Jackson & all of these racists have been causing heartaches for the whites for years, one wrong word, BAM, a man loses his job that he has worked at for years, is usually disparaged by leftist TV anchors & as one anchor commented “He has disgraced himself”..WHAT?, for a slip of the tongue, or a remark taken out of contest? How sensitive the blacks are when, as you read above, they have the highest crime rate, receive big paychecks with little education, JUST because they are black & are ready to pounce on anything that will build them up and break down the white population. Do these people think we’re stupid or are they just so angry at our “whiteness” that they will continue to torture us until death. Glenn Beck, I love you, thank God you are not like Al Sharpton, you are NOT racist, you are fair to all parties and the ONLY one that is trying to restore a semblance of honor to this country. The Lincoln Memorial is not owned by any one group and, of course, King should be honored but, I think he would be ashamed at all the opportunists that are using this race baiting under his “good” name. If he were alive, I truly do not believe he would have gone in this direction, as the Al Sharptons’ & Jesse Jacksons’ in our country. He was a man of peace and these arguments only cause a divide. When I heard Sharpton state that the reason they must show their support at the monument is because of the “inequality” that still exists, it made my blood boil…what inequality..I think its the other way around. White people try to be fair, we walk a tightrope attempting to keep the blacks happy, don’t insult them, don’t ignore them, don’t say something that might sound discriminatory, don’t call them black, dark, light skinned black…WHAT do we call a person who is not of our color or nationality..Hey….you!!! We call Germans, German, Italians, Italian…please this is getting ridiculous. Even the media can’t describe a murderer if he is black, so how can they expect the public to look for this man? Make sense! This sensitivity towards color is separating the races more & more. It is not the color of your skin, it is WHAT you are, the person you are, stop trying so hard to be white & accept how God has created you, nobody cares what you look like, just be kind and STOP COMPLAINING! Please be kind to each other at that rally, we just want to live in peace..besides we have enough to worry about with the situation in New York City.

    Sara, you don’t know much about Pamela Geller, do you? She is the Islamaphobe who started this mess with Park 51. You need to get a grip on the !st Amendment: see http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/08/beck-breitbarts-his-own-words-out-of.html for a Libertarian’s perspective on this.

    People shouldn’t view the actions/intentions of a few hundred/thousands of Muslim extremists as a broader statement against all Muslims.

    But…you consider Pamela Geller an Islamaphobe hatemonger, and therefore anyone who opposes the Mosque is just like her – an Islamaphobe hatemonger?

    Is that right?

    I honestly don’t care what they think in that regard.- But the Ground Zero mosque will be used by them, in exactly that manner – as a symbol of their accomplishment on 9/11. Personally, that bothers me – giving them a monument in which to point to as a celebration of their attack – a symbol that they conquered at ground zero.

    Bottom line, in my opinion, if this is truly meant to be a bridge to mend fences and all that, then they would not hesitate to move it, to respect the feelings of the 9/11 families and first responders who have expressed opposition. They are objecting to even moving it one mile away…. That doesn’t reflect goodwill, to me. A compromise would go a long way, I would think, because the idea is a good one. Just not there.

    Stephen, I heard it on a news broadcast that he was chinese, that is the only reason I commented on it. I think the internet helps us to get a lot of anger off our chests, it doesn’t hurt anyone; however, I still think that insulting each other is useless. Look, we all have our differences but you must consider what is right and what appears wrong. Because I am white, of course, I will pick up for myself if it appears that white people are being treated unfairly. I must admit I very seldom hear white people complain so much about the blacks, it seems to be the other way around. I will cite an example that appears to have been forgotten, in 1981 a black man, Wayne Williams, intelligent from a good home, went on a killing spree, his victims were young boys..& 2 adult males. Now, we all have serial killers & we know that something is not right up there; however, the entire Atlanta population IMMEDIATELY targeted the Klan (was there still a Klan then?) The people were out in the streets shouting obscenities towards the white population, etc. Even after he was convicted, & admitted to the killings, the trouble makers & ministers, whatever kept up the rhetoric, the black news commentators lamenting the poor, unfortunate family who are being bombarded by news media..etc.He got 2 life sentences & now, some of the mothers of the murdered boys are beginning to doubt whether a black man killed their children, it HAD to be those hateful white klan members…1981 to 2001 this went on & on and to this day, they will not relent. You can bet they will find a way to get that murderer off using as his defense…you guessed it….RACISM,HATE CRIMES!! As a matter of fact the story appeared today on “American Justice”. You can check it out at AETV.com/American Justice. Atlanta Child Murders if they are still featuring it. Look, all we should have, each and every one of us is the ability to live our lives in peace, without persecution, without hate or hostility. We are on this earth for such a short time, why make our lives miserable? People like Al Sharpton like to grandstand, they enjoy causing problems, it makes him more popular with minorities but less popular with the masses. There will always be racial tension, I feel, and I truly believe that these hate groups have caused it, when you give too many people rights they don’t deserve, it creates anger & resentment among those who do not receive similar treatment. We should all be treated as equals. God Bless America & I pray that there will be no trouble at the Lincoln Memorial tomorrow. Have a nice day!

    “Honor”?? What honmor are these goons possibly talking about?? USA has no honor – only the honor of yesterday. Honor has been dragged deep into the sewer & left there – by the 2 BushDrunks & their minions.

    If you hate this country so badly, I’m reasonably certain we could get some folks here to pony up the $$$ to buy you a one way ticket out.

    Maybe we should have White lecturers reading the vast amount rhetoric of Rev.Kings speeches that he plagiarized from White writers. Would that satisfy Al Sharpten’s need for honor, and truth?

    sarainitaly says: “But…you consider Pamela Geller an Islamaphobe hatemonger, and therefore anyone who opposes the Mosque is just like her – an Islamaphobe hatemonger?”

    I consider Geller an Islamaphobic hatemonger, yes. No, everyone who is opposed to the Park 51 cultural center is not a hatemonger; just the people who, like Glenn Beck, use their stage to replicate this ugly, reactionary meme.

    Sara, it’s not going to be a mosque unless they change their current plans. Of course, Fox doesn’t tell you that, do they?
