I met Rosa Parks, Glenn Beck you're no Rosa Parks...
Advertisements [?]
I met Rosa Parks 25 years ago. I got to talk with her and she was such a gracious, thoughtful person. She didn't say a lot, but I realized how courageous she was and what she did for our country. It was truly an honor to have met her.

When I heard Glenn Beck compare himself to Mahatma Ghandi and Rosa Parks it sickened me. Ghandi and Parks had principles and courage. They risked their lives for the betterment of their fellow man. Beck is a coward who hides in his studio inciting hatred and provoking anger, rage, racism and fear. Beck is completely void of any principles or honor. His every action and word is to enrich himself at the expense of others.

Although he professes to be a Christian, Beck makes his living by bearing false witness against his neighbors and violating many other Biblical laws and mandates, but his dimwitted followers listen to and believe his every word anyway. What is baffling is that Beck has a large following of fundamentalist Christians. I wonder how they can tolerate Beck's constant assaults against Jesus' teachings? Beck even told his audience to leave their churches if they find anything in their church that advocates 'social justice', without even realizing that if they did that every church would be empty because the Bible has at least 2,000 references to social justice in it. But if Beck has ever read the Bible, he doesn't understand a word in it, and neither do his fake Christian fans.

BTW, I have sent countless challenges to Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh and other right wing radio hosts to on-air debates, but each challenge was met with cowardly silence. They would never debate anyone in a fair debate. I am a veteran of the US military. I served my country and put my life on the line. But these cowards all ran from serving their country. They ran from serving in the military just as fast as they ran from my challenges to debate them. Although they would have every advantage like years of on-air experience, surrounded by their staffs feeding them information, and being in the safe confines of their guarded, secret studios they still ran from my challenges to debate. Not one of these cowards have any principles, honor or dignity. They are opportunistic bullies who market hate to gullible dolts who lap up their every word of the verbal puss that flows from their evil mouths, like mindless hyenas seemingly unable to get enough hatred, anger and racism to satisfy their insatiable thirst.

(I apologize to real hyenas, which are smarter and more principled than tea bagging, right wing, conservative extremists)


ROSA PARKS, AMERICAN HERO:


GLENN BECK, AMERICAN ZERO:
