This pretty much sums it up:

So much for free speech huh? If someone ripped signs out of a tea baggers hands like this you know Fox would be calling for their heads and Palin would be tweeting so much she’d break her thumbs.

On 8.28.2010, Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally was held on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The purpose of the rally, which Beck claimed to be “non-political” despite featuring Tea Party-favorite Sarah Palin as a speaker and its being attended entirely by conservatives, was unclear. The participants spoke abstractly about the need to restore “honor” and “pride” to a country that had lost it. When pressed for when our country had lost its honor, most cited the election of Barack Obama.

8.28.2010 also represented the 47th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech, and Glenn Beck has been criticized for by civil rights groups for trying to misappropriate the occasion.

Last year, Beck referred to Barack Obama—our country’s first African-American President–as a “racist… who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture.” When offered the chance to respond to Beck’s statements, his fans either agreed with him or simply refused to believe that he had ever made them.

While the speaker list was diverse, the overwhelmingly white crowd expressed paranoid and conspiratorial fears of multiculturalism—that atheists or black liberation theologists or radical Muslims or “free-loading” Latinos were going to ruin our country. There was the constant suggestion that white Christians and their way of life are somehow under assault, and that the attendees of this rally were here to put an end to it and return the country to what it used to be.

Crazy huh? Velvet Revolution sent a camera man into the crowd at Glenn Beck’s 8-28 March on Washington/book promotion to speak to tea baggers and were met with your typical derp.

Sarah Palin is a self-proclaimed “Mama Grizzly” who wants to “protect [her] cubs” from EVIL things like liberals and the lamestream media. Problem is: Palin presumed all Mama Grizzlies agreed with her on the issues. Well, they don’t.

This new ad by EMILY’s List, a pro-choice PAC with the goal of electing progressive female candidates to government office, takes Palin’s Mama Grizzly meme and turns it on her by featuring a few other Mama Grizzlies who, shockingly, don’t agree with Palin—or think that she should presume that her goals are in line with those of every other American mother. Watch below.

A group of progressive Muslim-Americans plans to build an Islamic community center two and a half blocks from ground zero in lower Manhattan. They have had a mosque in the same neighborhood for many years. There’s another mosque two blocks away from the site. City officials support the project. Muslims have been praying at the Pentagon, the other building hit on Sept. 11, for many years.

In short, there is no good reason that the Cordoba House project should have been a major national news story, let alone controversy. And yet it has become just that, dominating the political conversation for weeks and prompting such a backlash that, according to a new poll, nearly 7 in 10 Americans now say they oppose the project. How did the Cordoba House become so toxic, so fast?

In a story last week, the New York Times, which framed the project in a largely positive, noncontroversial light last December, argued that it was cursed from the start by “public relations missteps.” But this isn’t accurate. To a remarkable extent, a Salon review of the origins of the story found, the controversy was kicked up and driven by Pamela Geller, a right-wing, viciously anti-Muslim, conspiracy-mongering blogger, whose sinister portrayal of the project was embraced by Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post.

Here’s a timeline of how it all happened:

Tea Party-backed candidate Marg Baker was given the chance to explain what she meant when she said she wanted to put illegal immigrants in “camps,” and it turns out she meant pretty much what it sounded like.

“We can ship them out to the middle of the country and put up high walls and leave them there,” Baker, who seeks the Republican nomination in a Florida statehouse race, told Salon Thursday.

Baker first announced the proposal earlier this month at a meeting sponsored by Glenn Beck’s 9-12 Project. Baker’s opponents quickly distanced themselves from her plan.

More from Salon’s report:

Asked if what she had in mind was more like the Japanese internment camps of the World War II era, Baker said, “something like that. But unfortunately in the Japanese camps they detaineed American citiziens. The only ones I want to detain are the ones who are illegal.”

She added, “You’ve gotta have places for them to eat and sleep and breathe fresh air. It can be a tent city … You don’t want to make them too comfortable or they’ll want to come back.”

The right-wing propaganda machine continues its manufactured freak-out over plans to build a Muslim Center near Ground Zero. Now, the American Family Association has weighed in, with predictable results — grotesque anti-Muslim propaganda, open calls for discrimination, endorsement of totalitarian tactics, etc.

Kyle at Right-Wing Watch:

Yesterday we noted that the AFA’s Bryan Fischer was demanding the end to the construction of all mosques on the grounds that “each Islamic mosque is dedicated to the overthrow of the American government.”

He made the same case on his radio program, at first talking about the “Ground Zero Mosque,” but then issuing a call for a blanket ban on the construction of any new mosques anywhere in the country:

Queen of the Derp Sarah Palin was in Homer, Alaska where she encountered a woman putting up a sign that read “Worst Governor Ever”. Since Palin is a “defender” of the constitution, she decided to confront the woman who is legaly expressing her view and get her to take down the sign. The sign was later ripped down by one of Sarah’s entourage, here is a pic. Good job supporting someone’s right to free speech.

One of the worst parts of this video is when the the resident informs Sarah that she is a teacher. Sarah responds with an overexagerated eye roll and sneers a look toward her daughter. This woman isn’t teaching in Berkeley, she’s (ostensibly) a teacher at a school in a fishing town of about 5,000 people. She’s probably not kicking back with Das Kapital and a glass of sherry before deciding on which Mercedes-Benz diesel is the most proletariat. Sarah is sneering down her nose at someone who we can safely assume is MUCH more “Real Alaska” than the multimillionaire right-wing media darling and her Chanel suits is now. Funny how Bristol’s reaction equaled her mothers. The disdain is palpable. It was like ‘teacher’ was code word for liberal Palin-hater.

Most Americans want Glenn Beck to be our next president and return us to prosperity. The only hiccup? Getting him to run! Fortunately, the clown lady in this video is circulating a petition to change all that.

Her name is Robin Potwora, and the website for her “grassroots organization,” Main Street Bites Back, features a number of terrifying robot-voiced videos of illustrated political figures, including the hated Barack Obama.

Why is she so excited about Glenn Beck being president in three years? Because he is “our generation’s George Washington”:

Glenn Beck doesn’t want to be president! Neither did George Washington and look how that turned out!

When will Glenn Beck receive our invitation to be a presidential candidate? A formal invitation will be presented to him in 1/2011.

What if Glenn Beck declines our invitation to be a presidential candidate in 2012? Consequently the petition will serve as a thank you to him for all he has done for us.

Will Glenn Beck know that I signed the petition? Yes, the name of every person who signs the petition will appear either on the invitation or in the video.

How can I help? Send people to our website to sign the petition, collect signatures and send them to us through email or call them into us by phone. Send us 50 signatures and we’ll mail you an exclusive ‘Back Beck 2012′ T-shirt!
