The Feed: Glenn Beck's Polarizing Rally

By: Natalie Jimenez
Topics

An estimated 87,000 people flooded the National Mall on Saturday for Fox News commentator Glenn Beck's controversial rally, "Restoring Honor."

The rally took place on the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's historic "I Have a Dream" speech.

Beck is asking for a return to traditional American values, but the Reverend Al Sharpton accused him of trying to hijack King's legacy.

"They want to disgrace this day. This is our day and we're not giving it up," said Sharpton.

For the second straight day, plumes of hot ash clog the air in Sumatra, an island off Indonesia.

It's the first time this volcano has erupted in 400 years. Thirty thousand people have been forced to flee.

And, another mug shot for Paris Hilton. The socialite was arrested and charged with cocaine possession. She's been released, but reportedly doesn't think it's that big of a deal.

An old standby and a new hit won top honors at the Emmy Awards. "Mad Men" won best dramatic show for the third year in a row. ABC's "Modern Family" was voted best comedy series.

And, Finland hosted the 15th Air Guitar World Championships.

Forty-one contestants strutted, flailed and gyrated their way across the stage, but in the end it was all love.

Frenchman Gunther Love retained his winning title and credited his win to his gold pants.

The connection to the Jews shows in the way they lived and the artifacts left behind. One is a stone with the 10 commandments engraved on it. The time frame matches. The story matches to the history in the Book of Mormon. I am one of those radical Methodists, but I think powerful people and Kings may have left books out of the Bible to suit their bidding. Enough old scrolls and books have been uncovered. Jerusalem was to be destroyed because faith there had failed miserably, and the faithful were probably killed on the spot. Why wouldn?t Jesus appear to some other parts of the world to give instruction. Do you think Jesus couldn?t have done it?? Some of you talk a lot of hocus pocus smack, about the Mormons. You are certainly not behaving the way I think true Christians would behave, freedom of religion and all. I find the Book of Mormon history to be a fascinating read. It?s interesting. I am certainly not afraid of it. Neither should you be. Because who knows...they might be right.; Reply to this comment


by Majorityview September 1, 2010 12:09 AM EDT: I am a Senior, unable to go to this event, but I knew the 4 media god haters Mocking and spinning every thing to please the Negros,Illegal ailens, and Liberal democrats would be there. I was right the attack and abuse and implied hate for Muslins, Blacks, and illegal aliens, joined by the UN who is corrupt and now judgeing America. This street educated president has no character, and will throw his Pastor under the Bus it the truth about his hate for White was a issue. Let not forget why blacks want Kings speech to be in your face while they slowly twist history to make it like our present history has become. The hate for the southern people is up front on there mind because they know If Beck wakes up the majority to there freedom of speech they may have to throw old Martin under the bus. Old Al Sharton would disagree with a chicken wing if he thought it could seem like racist, ralling for Martin Luter King would be exciting if they could cause a incident, and the media elits would accuse Beck and Palin of racism. But Latino's and Black rallies, with crowds of American are unlike the dirty baby pamper and burger wrappers and plastic cups left for the government cleaning crews to clean up after the racist latio's in Arozona, and the Washington Mall go home. I just notice one of the usual elite or the liar will accuse republican of starting a war, but the forget JFK, Via Nam, Korea, and Clintons high altitude bombing war and our military is still in there countrys, Accept now we leave Iraq and to start another war, Iran will kick there butts, when we are gone for good. This Great ONE liberal have waited for proved just how un fit he is to run a taco stand. He's good at vacation, and flying Air Force One all over the middle east promising he would never put a terrorist on trail. Have you notice we still have the same killer who brought down the towels. Now they want a Mosques to declare victory. After all the apologizes and shame he brought on citzen for his dumb view of A Real America, has now become the laughing stock of Europy.; Reply to this comment

Christians will never accept or evolve into a married God and a married Jesus, sorry! Jesus is considered eternally God. He became flesh, born of a virgin to redeem his people and pay for their sins on the Cross.

Jesus is Savior, Lord and one with God and The Holy Spirit.

Mormons do not believe this. This is why Jesus said beware of false prophets preaching another Gospel. Mormons reject the Cross of Christ as payment for sins. You won't see a Cross over their Churches and they do not believe faith in Jesus pays for sins of all who receive Him in faith. Do your research!; Reply to this comment

by heis4real August 31, 2010 7:43 PM EDT: Glenn Beck is cofusing people into thinking Mormons have the same religious doctrine

Mormon Doctrine:

Mormon Founder Joseph Smith was labeled a Heretic in 1859 and run out of town by the Christian Community. He was polygamous with several young wives

Joseph Smith denounced the Christian bible and declared that he had a vision of an Angel named Moroni who gave him another book and facts
(This is considered heresy)

God has a physical body and so does his wife.
No Trinity. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are three separate gods. People can become gods.

Jesus was created by sexual union between God and Mary.

Jesus was married.

Jesus' death does not atone for all sin.

Baptism for the dead.

Dark skinned people were not granted Mormon privileges until 1978.

8) Jesus and Satan were spirit brothers.

Beck would be labeled a false prophet if you go by the standards of what is written in the Christian bible-that Salvation is by faith in the Jesus and his atoning death on the Cross. All Christians teach the death, burial and physical Resurrection of Christ and that he died as payment for their sins of all who receive him by faith. This qualifies you as authentic Christians!; Reply to this comment

Mainstream Christianity rejects Mormonism and their Doctrine! Sorry do your research!; Reply to this comment


by heis4real August 31, 2010 7:34 PM EDT: There is No such thing as a Christian Mormon. Look up the differences in any Christian bookstore, Mormonism is listed under cults and other Religions. Mormons and Founder Joseph Smith rejected the Christian bible and vice versa!; Reply to this comment

by noloyalisti August 31, 2010 5:30 PM EDT: I didn't hear Sharpton say any of that. I think that was a little poetic license huh?

Anyone who wants more Republican control really needs to go to a shrink. They started two endless wars that sank the economy and gave the filthy rich all our money so they could hire people in Sumatra or wherever.

And we need more of THAT?; Reply to this comment
