My Thoughts On The Glenn Beck Rally

The tea baggers have plenty of wackos, don't kid yourself.

Do 80% of them still believe obama is a muslim trying to destroy america?

Huge shocker but there are crazies on both sides of the fence.

Glenn Beck - wacko
Tea baggers - wackos
Norway killer - wacko

I think that covers it.

I think you forgot - "Shouldn't we be talking about football, instead of wackos, now?"

If you want to say he is not a real christian fine. A lot of people in the muslim world say the same about osama not being a muslim.

Bottom line, his manifesto alludes to his twisted christian beliefs.

You raise a good point here. We're quick to lump all "muslims" with radicals and/or religious extremists, but have another standard when an individual espouses christian beliefs, no matter how whacky he is.

Well i dont know about wacky, but they are definitely ridiculous (from pg 3):

Of course its also true that tea partiers are raciest, which by the way is inherent in all white people, even the black tea partiers:

So sure they are ridiculous and raciest, i just dont know if i would call Glenn Beck or the tea partiers wacko in tandem of describing a person who just went on a 70+ person killing spree.

"We" are? Really? Sorry, I for one don't do so and know many many like minded conservatives who don't do so.

Muslim = Lunatic is no more true than Christian = Sane. As many here have noted, and I think the majority of Americans believe (no, I don't have a link) any religion can be twisted to express extremist and hateful practice. Yes, there is vocal minority that believes Muslim=Radical Muslim Extremist. I simply do not believe that is the majority of Americans.

Crazy is as crazy does - whether its christian, muslim, hindu, or [name your religion here] crazy.

I think you forgot - "Shouldn't we be talking about football, instead of wackos, now?"

No doubt.

Well until Danny boy fires up the jet or some teams start to make some moves nothing has changed. I'm guessing after tomorrow afternoon the NFL news will be jumping and stay pretty hot for about a week.

Not sure where you've been FD but news is already jumpin'. The site traffic today has exploded.

Maybe he's been out riding his PeeWee Herman bike?
