KABOBfest’s Chaim Sugarman is tweeting his coverage from Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally currently taking place at the steps of the Lincoln memorial in Washington, DC. Below is a compilation of his most recent tweets:
1) Although the Rally is supposed to “honor MLK,” very few Black folks appear interested in doing so.
2) Collective IQ of the rally is 196.
3) Word is Rev. Al Sharpton is holding a separate, but equal, rally.
4) One old lady passed out from heat, the shout “Any body here is a doctor” prompted ruckus laughter.
5) Many criticize Glenn Beck for choosing the anniversary of the “I have a dream” speech, in reality, it’s the only open weekend in the NASCAR schedule all summer.
6) Those here who don’t watch Glenn Beck regularly, mainly police and medics, are confused as to why the title “Restoring Honor” is applicable.
7) Just got a call from Will, there are no Qur’an burning, Anti-mosque protests, or peeing on mosque rugs events schedule anywhere around the country today.
8) So many St. Louis Cardinals on the speaker roster I’m afraid Fadi will join the Tea Party.
9) Slideshow on giant monitor is sensational, looks like Spielberg’s work. Plenty of black folks appear here actually.
10) When was the yellow snake emblem added to the American Flag?
11) Narrative changed: Rally is about people, then about honor, then God, then MLK and Lincoln, then civil rights movement. Reminds me of the invasion of Iraq.

Posted by St. Louis Born | August 29, 2010, 6:52 amAll in all, I like the guy. Yes, I think he is dramatic at times, but it seems like everyday communication includes a little showmanship to convery your message. I’ll tell you, he seems to be calling it accurately so far. If nothing helps, he make everyone think just a little bit more!
