Did you notice that Glenn Beck never showed up in D.C. for his own 9/12 gathering?

[Crowman1979]

He just cowered in his Faux News studio cocoon the whole time. Acting like a wireless puppet master.

1. It was Saturday after all. Isn't he off on the weekends? We know

he is off during the week.

[SmileyRose]

2. I believe you are mistaken

I've seen pics of him in front of the crowd.

9. I would love to see that. I posted video of him on another thread

where he is talking from the studio to a commentator who is at the rally that is in progress.

14. Someone on the DU posted in error and got me confused

upon further research I realize the group of pics someone posted claiming that was Beck at the rally turned out to be from April in Texas.

11. Nope, you're wrong

he was in New York all day and was on Fox Snooze during the height of the protest.

[pink-o]

3. Maybe he was (rightly) afraid that the reps from the Sanitarium

would wrap him up in the long-sleeved jacket and stick him on a 72 hour hold.

4. To be fair,

(I've got no idea why I should be fair to this non-human) Beck said on his show he wouldn't be at the "rally" as he would be a "distraction".

My thought is that he is a top of the line coward and that he wants to keep his distance so he can continue to incite but not face the consequences of anything that might take place at the rally/riot.

5. The wizard of odd

doesn't want anything to do with his oddball supporters.

[non sociopath skin]

7. I'm sure you're right.

It would be bad for business if he was photographed or filmed "palling around with terrorists" and racists.

6. He stayed home laughing at the chumps he fools

and counted his money.

Do you actually think for one moment he would associate himself with that unwashed rabble?

He's just like Limbaugh; never breathes air that isn't inside his home, car, studio, hotel room, or an airplane. He's never seen in public.

[corpseratemedia]

8. be_k knows who butters his bread

he can't be seen with the corporate-rejects rabble who love him

[SpiralHawk]

10. Republicon Chickenhawks like Beck are always AWOL

'nuf said.

[opihimoimoi]

20. COWARD CHKN HAWK...he is a wuss traitor to this Nation

[UTUSN]

12. Plus, he keeps delaying the revelation of his PLAN ---whatever the plan is for

From the studio he kept promo-ing the Big Revelation of his PLAN, to come in the NEXT hour. I don't know if any part of the PLAN ever got revealed. Something about his wanting "56 men". Is that the number of the signers of the Declaration? Or does he want 56 BecKKKers in the Senate?!1

Something about Re-FOUNDING. But then he said the real revelation will be Monday. So we've got to ask, Is that in calendar days or working days, BecKKK!1


Plus he kept saying that "this" (whatever "this" is) is not about Democrats or Republics, that "this" is composed of "Blacks, Whites, males, females," however he was only able to find ONE Black to be a token. It was like Chris ROCK at the Rethug convention, "Once again I am the ONLY Black person in the room..." But the Black dude claimed, "My presence disproves that this is a WHITE movement..." Not to mention no Gays or Hispanics or...

[LostInAnomie]

19. I was going to post something about that earlier.

He was supposed to reveal his "plan" on 9/12. That was part of the draw. When the time came though he never did it.

[lunatica]

13. Let's hope the teabaggers noticed

I think they must have since he was supposed to be the big glam host for this shindig.

[abo]

15. yeah

something fishy is going on here. He was in his studio, doing nationwide coverage of these infantile displays of dissagreement and unpatriotic dissent. What a coward to not be in the spotlight.

(you know he's also LDS, don't you?)

[spanone]

16. he's a phony....flim-flam man

[grantcart]

17. he literally couldn't leave his black board -- talk about a weird fetish!

Did notice and asked the question

18. The entertaining part is tht his TV viewers are pissed off at him

Apparently he kept talking constantly over the speakers at the rallies, so none of the TV viewers got to hear what was said at the actual event and are complaining at FN about his disrespectful egotistical attitude.

Poor guy can't catch a break :-)
