One small correction. It was nowhere near 500,000 people. Beck had a permit for 300,000. The current crowd estimate is somewhere around 87,000.

MSNBC estimates don't count. According to well known estimates for the area in question the crowd was in fact around 500,000. With zero arrests by the way. How did that many hateful racists pull that off?

Same way the 9/12 crowd of 1.1 million (largest ever assembled in DC).

Oh, stop whining. It was people of your ilk that accused Bush of being a racist because he couldn't prevent a hurricane from hitting New Orleans.

It's perfectlly acceptable for you "progressives" to hurl "RACIST" at anyone that does not agree with Obama because you only judge people by the color of their skin and not the content of their character.

Piffle! I never accused Bush of anything like that and I don't know anyone who did.

When you assert that I or others "judge people by the color of their skin and not the content of their character," you are, in effect, declaring us to be racists. What is it with you Beckites? Is it somehow a part of your deranged creed that you must label anyone you disagree with as a racist?

The racist card is worn out. The liberals have dragged it out as a last resort when they're losing an argument so many times that now it's meaningless. No one cares anymore. I know I don't care if they call me a racist. I heard Bush called a racist because of Katrina, oh boo hoo, Bush doesn't care because New Orleans is black. I heard that until it was coming out of my ears. The ones complaining the most were the people that would not leave even when they were begged to do so. And what happened after Katrina hit? They sat on their big fat a**** and made workers carry them out. Did they check on neighbors, friends, strangers, or ask if they could help in any way? No, they looted!!!! Good gawd it was unreal. They trashed the shelters other states provided for them, raped and robbed each other, used cards meant to help them survive for lap dances and other off the wall things, but yet we're still supposed to keep tossing them a pity party. Give me a break. Before you even post it I'll say it. It was not all of the people. You had many that accepted the help and helped others. The ones that acted like animals and got called on it are the ones screaming racism. One bit of racism from the Katrina diaster is the fact that there were whites affected just as badly as blacks. But you never hear about them. All you hear about are the poor blacks in the "chocolate city". How much coverage did Nashville get a few months back? Did anyone yell racism because Obama didn't do anything about the horrific flooding there? Where's their pity party? Did anyone even hear Obama mention Nashville? I didn't.

I don't know who you think you are, Jennifer, but you go girl, and welcome to the forum. Keep up the good work.

It is a truly sad thing today when an estimated one-half million people have gathered together on the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King's" I Have a Dream" speech, at at the same location where that speech was delivered. It is indeed a sad day, and for the following reason. The organizer of this gathering is a man who has publicly proclaimed that the President of the United States is a "racist" with a "deep-seated hatred for white people."

Yes, those are the very words that Glenn Beck used, publicly, on his Fox News talk show, to describe our President, Barack Obama. Now we are treated by Beck and his associates to a purported plea for UNITY in this country.
That plea rings hollow when one considers the source of it--the "Beckster"--and his heinous and false allegations concerning President Obama's "deep-seated hatred for white people."

Does Beck wish for all Americans to unite with him and his accusations against the President?
Before Beck deserves any credibility for his ostensible plea for unity, he needs to publicly retract his witless and egregious insult of President Obama.

Is Obama a Muslim? He WAS born a Muslim that much is not in dispute.

WOW ! I knew Obama was smart , but to be born with the knowledge to recite the "Shahada" at birth ! Kinda leaves you in awe.
Makes me feel kinda stupid, hell, I couldn't even talk when I was born, had to learn a language, yet according to you , Obama could pronounce his faith "there is but One God and he is Allah and Muhammad is his prophet". He could do all that at birth ?? Again, I'm just blown away. Do you know if he said it in Arabic or did he use English ?

It's easy to see you know nothing about the Muslim religion. Perhaps a little reading would do you good. According to Muslims if either of your parents is a Muslim you are born a Muslim. That's not my words but theirs. Do you still feel kinda stupid, you probably should.

O, PIFFLE! Even conceding that Muslims teach that their baby becomes a Muslim at birth if either parent is Muslim, that has nothing to do with the belief system that is actually adopted by their child when he/she is old enough to decide the matter for him/herself. Get real!

The Prophet Muhammad said, "No babe is born but upon Fitra (as a Muslim). It is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist." (Sahih Muslim, Book 033, Number 6426)

The Prophet (PBUH) reported that Allah said, "I created my servants in the right religion but devils made them go astray". The Prophet (PBUH) also said, "Each child is born in a state of "Fitrah", then his parents make him a Jew, Christian or a Zoroastrian, the way an animal gives birth to a normal offspring. Have you noticed any that were born mutilated?"

Islam is the religion of all Prophets, Adam to Muhammad. Children are not born out of any sin, original, inherited or derived. They are born on the religion of their nature, i.e., Islam.
