Glenn Beck rally draws 87,000, but where are the non-whites?

Glenn Beck held a rally in Washington D.C. last Saturday, Aug 28, to promote his ultra-conservative agenda. He didn't draw the 300,000 he hopefully anticipated, but he did draw a sizeable crowd of around 87,000 who came from all around the country to listen to his propaganda of extremist right-wing ideals, insanity, fear, falsehoods, and misinformation.







87,000 is a sizeable number, but look at the pictures and try to spot anyone who is not white. There may be a few dozen, including mixed race with partial European blood, but if even 1 full percent was non-white, you would have to struggle to find 870 such people.

Do you think you can find 870 non-white people in the crowd? No way.

Ken Mehlman, Bush Campaign Manager, Comes Out as Gay

The conservatives love to preach family values and vigilantly fight same-sex marriages, but they can only hide their lies, hypocrisy, and stupidity for so long. The truth will eventually prevail and reveal the truth about the Republicans.


Ken Mehlman, Bush Campaign Manager, Comes Out as Gay

Former Republican National Committee chairman and Bush-Cheney campaign manager Ken Mehlman has announced publicly that he is gay, CBS News chief political consultant and politics editor for The Atlantic Marc Ambinder reports.

"It's taken me 43 years to get comfortable with this part of my life," Mehlman said. "Everybody has their own path to travel, their own journey, and for me, over the past few months, I've told my family, friends, former colleagues, and current colleagues, and they've been wonderful and supportive. The process has been something that's made me a happier and better person. It's something I wish I had done years ago, but I didn't."

Mehlman was RNC chairman from 2005 to 2007 after serving as Bush-Cheney campaign manager in 2004. He also served as White House political director during President Bush's first term.

He's nowhere near the first of the conservatives to come out of the closet, nor will be nowhere near the last.
