Why am I not surprised that you're shilling for Glenn Beck's latest enterprise?
p.s. You forgot a poll option for those of us who think Glenn Beck is an idiot and don't care what his latest brain fart is, because he's completely irrelevant.
What's to protest? The Rally is to Honor Free Speech and the profits are going to a worthy charity. Got something against free speech and charity? I guess you ca freely speak against those who are celebrating free speech if that's what you want to do with your time.
I find it amusing that people are planning on protesting it when they have absolutely no idea what's going to happen there. They're all insisting that it's going to be political "hate speech". I guess honoring our troops is hate speech. *shrug*
But what does any of this have to do with "restoring honor"?
What people? All three people who have voted in the poll wish they could go.
Restoring honor to our country. Getting back to the basics of what a GOOD country is. Stop the corruption, stop the political games, stop treating citizens like they're morons who deserve to be mocked (*cough* Rep. Stark *cough*), honor our children by not leaving them with trillions of dollars in debt....
What is wrong with that?
There are organizations who are planning on protesting at the rally.
Well, it starts off with the supposition that our country has lost its honor. Corruption, political games, and treating the citizenry like morons is something that has existed in politics forever. Yes, it's nice to want to fight against it, but to pretend it's something new or something that our country has ever been without is naive.
What's funny to me is on one hand this is an innocent charity event yet the name of the event is charged with partisanship. Your explanation of the name says it all.
Any noteworthy ones?
What's partisan about honoring our troops and being against corruption?
Not sure. Daily Kos and HuffPo have several articles against the rally (they ignorantly believe it's going to be racist *eyeroll*). Many people are calling SOWF asking them to not sponsor the event, emailing Glenn with the same letter (someone created on the DailyKos so everyone could copy/paste it in email as if they actually wrote it themselves), organizing protests (not sure what they're going to be protesting....), etc. etc.
Don't you think our troops deserve our undivided attention while at war?
There are certain topics that everyone is always for but nothing ever gets done about it. Education, reducing our oil dependence, immigration, and fighting corruption are always talked about every damn election and people gobble it up like this time they are really going to fix it. They won't though. It's simply campaign fodder. I don't see how corruption should be on the same stage at the same time as honoring our troops during wartime.

I don't read those sites. I doubt it will amount to much of a protest. Maybe they will take up a street corner.
My vote was a mess up. I meant to vote "No. I wish I could go!" I support what is going on, but I can't make it... Or maybe I can if I stay with family up in that area. I would love to go.
