I just browsed the Glenn Beck rally Saturday, but I noticed the crowd was rather apathetic.

From what I gather, Beck's shows are full of red meat as he discusses the conspiracies all around us aimed at eliminating white people in America. Saturday, when everyone was watching, he was all sweetness and light. That's not what the Teabaggers came out to hear. Beck had backed himself into a corner. Te only way he can garner support is to lighten up; but if he lightens up; he loses the base.

1. Glenn Has Risen!

I think they definitely did not get what they thought they were going to get in this rally. It looks to me that Glenn Beck is attempting to set himself up as some sort of modern day messiah. In his twisted little mind, he may actually believe that he is the one that is going to save America. Kinda scary, no?

2. He'd spent the last month telling his idiots

that they were going to witness something miraculous and it wound up being a little more dull than an old fashioned tent revival meeting.

I bet a lot of those assholes were actually expecting clouds to part and jeebuz to come down to annoint them all warriors. Or whatever the hell it is that Mormons believe in when they aren't trying to convince us they don't want 10 wives and magic underwear.

3. I wonder who told him to lighten up and why.

4. Beck needs to go back to drinking so he can enjoy himself all by himself and spare

the rest of us from his rants and raves.

5. That's how a brain-dead crowd usually looks. Reality is a *itch.

6. As I peel off my Firesuit...

I just spent the last half hour over "There" and to say that the Freeps are Pissed is an understatement. The Teagaggers don't care about the issues that started the Teagagger movement,they just want their "Guns,God and Glory"

7. Honestly, I think this past year this tea party has made alot of white people angry

It's empowered them to say "I don't want handouts going out to anyone but white people like me". Glenn Beck became their de-facto leader in this new *white power* movement because he dared to say on TV the thing that many of them were thinking AND say "Obama is a Racist".

From what I gathered Beck tried to nullify them last weekend. He wouldn't let them bring their racist signs and forced them to see all these non-whites on stage as Beck tried so hard to say "Black people like us too" - of course he failed miserably.

I think the Teabagging party jumped the shark last weekend.
