Now I'm Thinking That The One Thing That Would Piss Beck Off The Most Is......

[global1]

if Keith and Rachel and other progressive radio talk show hosts - don't talk about the Beckoning at all. Just don't mention it. Pretend like it never happened. Don't give Beck any airtime for this on their shows. Just ignore it. '

That would be priceless.

I turned it on in the background on CSPAN. It's a real sleeper and it will all be over in two hours.

I appeal to Keith, Rachel & Ed and CNN and MSNBC - not to report on this event at all going forward.

2. It might be kind of funny to highlight the Beck award winners

The fucker is giving out medals!

[SargeUNN]

3. Ed is at the one with Al Sharpton

and Ed will be one of the speakers, so expect Ed to focus more on it with a reference to Beck's as the opposite.

4. If This Were a Democratic Rally

It would go on all day with live music from a variety of bands.
Poor teabaggers have Ted Nugent and permission to play only a handful of songs.
Let the hate play on...

5. The first thread today on Beckapalooza I agree with!

:applause:

[Drunken Irishman]

6. I could see Maddow ignoring it.

But Ed and Olbermann can't not not talk about it. It's the way they're wired.

7. It's kind of funny.

The more I watch (about fifty minutes now), the more I am finding myself laughing out loud at the corny music, the over the top sappiness, the tear-jerking slide shows.

It almost seems a parody of the teabag movement.

The only thing the teabaggers had going for them was the rabid anger that got them motivated ... and Beck seems determined to put them to sleep with this snooze-fest.

11. If I'm Not Mistaken Some Of That Corny Music Was Played In Denver When Obama.....

accepted the nomination for president. I think it's from the soundtrack of the movie Remember the Titans.

8. +1 Agreed, let's not keep fanning the flames.

9. everyone should have ignored him and would have been piddly ass. now,

so much press ect... has made it into something it should have never been

[Common Sense Party]

12. Yes, but in the meantime, DU should have 8500 threads discussing it.

We'll ignore it in our own way.

13. I will say CNN did, but to give them credit they are panning

Becks motives about reclaiming a dream and restoring honor. They are asking over and over just whose civil rights he is reclaiming and for whom. And whose honor is he reclaiming. The are also knocking the fact that Beck said it wasn't political and he has all conservative speakers.

14. Well, Jon Stewart is on vacation for two weeks...

...so he won't be saying anything. Any of those others off next week?

[BrklynLiberal]

15. THAT would be soooooooooooooooooo great..especially since all the other MSM

will be covering like white on rice.
Why should any of them waste their time and our time rehashing this crap?

[mrdmk]

16. You asked 'what would piss Beck off the most?'

That answer is simple, not receiving a paycheck!

[Desertrose]

17. I"ve been saying this all along...why even mention them?

What's the saying...any press is good press?

Many many more important things to talk about than wasting time on Beckless

[TheWebHead]

18. I thought that all along

I'm in the who gives a fuck what some radio and/or TV personality does. why do people get so worked up over it? All that it served to do was give the thing more visibility and makes it more likely for people to turn out just for the "event" it was hyped up by both sides to be.
