Glenn Beck delivered a powerful symbol to America today during his Restoring Honor rally, but it had nothing to do with his words or the crowd. If you looked closely at Beck during his “I Killed a Dream” speech, you could see that he was wearing a bulletproof vest. Beck was afraid of his own fans. Check out the pics for yourself.
Here is the front view:
Notice the line a few inches above Glenn’s belt line. That isn’t an undershirt that he has got on my friends.
Even more telling is the back view:
Glenn Beck is so paranoid that he could not face his own fans without wearing a bulletproof vest. This fact not only speaks volumes about Beck, but also the mental stability of his fans. Ironically enough, Beck claimed that he is not a fear monger.
It is really difficult to take Beck’s denials seriously, when he has to state them while wearing a Kevlar vest. Historically true men and women of peace did not need to wear body armor in order to address their supporters. I can’t imagine MLK, Gandhi, or Robert Kennedy standing in front of a large crowd hiding behind a vest because they are terrified that one of their own supporters might put a bullet in them.
Today’s Tea Party rally disguised as charity was a typical right wing event. They wrap themselves in Patriotism, God, and Country, but beneath this thin veneer of bluster is cowardice and fear. The blue hairs who were attending Beck’s white power festival live in terror. They are terrified of the black man in the White House with the funny sounding name. They are terrified of Muslim people and think that every Islamic believer had a hand in 9/11. They are terrified of progress, and they are most terrified of change.
When they talk about taking America back, they are not only referring to political power. These people literally want to take America back in time. Their goal is to undo all progress. The message is that things were safer before they changed. Of course, in the time before things changed, black people were enslaved or segregated against, women had no rights, the poor could only believe in the American Dream, white people had all the power, and there would have most definitely never been a black man in the White House.
Glenn Beck is no Martin Luther King, and those people who gathered in DC today, were no civil rights marchers. Those involved in the civil rights movement risked their lives for equality, where as Glenn Beck is such a coward that he feels unsafe facing his own supporters without a bulletproof vest. Martin Luther King stood on that same ground 47 years earlier today and offered up a dream for a better America, but all Beck offered up was fear wrapped in Kevlar. Just as the March on Washington was a symbol for all that America could be, Glenn Beck’s bulletproof vest is a symbol of all that the Tea Party isn’t.

Then why not ban English Saddle? Look at her post above.
Those in control of this site are name-callers and dabble in fear-mongering. They see to be afraid of the truth by alienating themselves from constructive dialog with the opposition. It appears it is due to lack of ammunition that they must resort to banning and deleting sensible posts.
You banned Eric and deleted all his comments. How cowardly!

I am wondering if you guys don’t realize that we have access to the logs. Understand what I’m getting at?
English Saddle was responding to hate speech. An organized campaign of Beck supporters came here to try to disrupt a civil conversation.

Bla Bla Bla the post was sensible it would not have been banned. Using the term lack of ammunition is in poor taste. Truth Beck wore a vest to his OWN so called peaceful rally King never did! Proof that Beck is first crazy and second a coward! don’t like then don’t read about it!
