As the reactions to last weekend’s “Restoring Honor” rally pile up, pro and con, I’m reminded of the first time I was actually exposed to the guy–in this January 2007 Washington Post interview profile by David Segal. This was before the presidential primary season had begun, before the Fox News Channel gig, and, most decidedly, [...]
Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin are constantly talking about restoring our Constitution. They want to get our Constitution back. I did not know that it had gone away. They have created this aura that since Barack Obama was inaugurated somehow our Forefathers have been affronted. Aside from the crazies who claim that President Obama was [...]
Saturday at the Glenn Beck church picnic, oops I mean Restoring Honor Rally. And btw, exactly how did Beck restore honor to America by having a religious rally with 90,000 conservatives. So anyway, at the religious rally Beck said some crazy things, but one thing stood out to me as really crazy. After reciting the [...]
Glenn Beck has a deep seated hatred of himself. This can be traced to the underlying rage and confusion he experienced over the apparent suicide of his mother when he was teenager; exacerbated by the humiliation he felt for having failed college after a single term; and crystallized by a career which started early and [...]
Glenn Beck is now presenting himself as a theologian, saying people don’t think President Obama is Christian because, he told Fox News Sunday, Obama… … understands the world through liberation theology, which is oppressor-and-victim. People aren’t recognizing his version of Christianity. Beck says this is because Obama is a black liberation Christian, which he links [...]

The Fox News host is planning a rally at the location of Martin Luther King Jr.‘s legendary "I Have a Dream" speech on Saturday, the anniversary of the historic event. Beck maintains the event at the Lincoln Memorial has [...]
David Barton, Glenn Beck’s favorite history “professor,” is the creator and purveyor of a revisionist history of race in America that is rapidly gaining traction in conservative and tea party circles. That history, drawn in part from the writings of Christian Reconstructionists, recasts modern-day Republicans as the racially inclusive party, and modern-day Democrats as the [...]
One of the main lines of attack in the never-ending conservative freak-out over the plan to build an Islamic community center in downtown Manhattan has been attempting to smear the developers of the center — Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf in particular – as "radical." In their usual despicable fashion, conservative media figures have worked hard to blur the line between the terrorists who attacked [...]
Social activists and civil rights leaders, among them the Rev. Al Sharpton, are planning marches and demonstrations — including the unveiling of a nearly four-story-tall original sculpture on the Mall — on Aug. 28 to coincide with a rally organized by Fox News personality Glenn Beck. Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally, with former vice presidential candidate [...]
