poor old guy

typical Beck supporter

[Hazelise]

30. Poor old guy!???

typical response.... from a typical hater. Let me give you a little background in hopes of educating your opinions:

McEachin didn't perform at this event because he is a fan of Glenn Beck. The Evergreen Freedom Foundation contacted Mr. McEachin to perform at this event because of his extraordinary reverence for veterans and the event was in-part meant to honor said. His performance was impeccable. I laugh at your remarks... "poor old guy," he is sharp as a tack in his old age and still has it going on as an actor which is proven by your remarks. He isn't the stooped over old veteran needing a cane to walk, what you see here is The Old Soldier, a character from his one-man play Above the Call; Beyond the Duty (abovethecallbeyondtheduty.com). Two hours in length, this play covers everything from patriotism to racism to the integration of the Armed Forces, to women's issues, to the use of the "n" word, to a question resting on the mind a soldier when he passes on. Written by McEachin the script is intense at times, laden with history, embellished with humor, fully emotional and a clear indication that the man is an intellect and performer beyond capacity you might be able to relate to. If you were ever to see the play, you would walk away saying to yourself, how on earth does he remember all that dialogue. The man is amazing and in mine, and many others' opinions, an under-discovered National Treasure.

Walk lightly with your remarks lest you become guilty of the same mis-information that might be expected from Beck himself. McEachin's mission is to honor those who serve this great nation and The Old Soldier knows just how to do it. May you never forget the privilege you cash in on the prices paid by some. Educate your opinions or become as typical as the one's you oppose.

Poor old guy!? Poor YOU.

31. ''welcome,'' you disingenuous propagandist.

everybody knows what that astroturf Evergreen Freedom Foundation is, how it LIES (like you do) about its true agenda, and WHERE its filthy funding comes from

unlike the benighted, moronic dupes, upon whom your ilk gleefully preys, who piss away their hard earned money to jingoist charlatans like Beck, people around here very well understand reality, and aren't taken in by the likes of YOU

so skitter back under the rock whence you came

you are scum, and so is your filthy, lying Evergreen Freedom Foundation, which purports to be a public interest think tank.

read this, everybody, in case you think this group is any different than the myriad front orgs that spend BILLIONS of dollars from rich cranks and their 'foundations,' whose only goal is to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, via any means they can dream up, not the least of which is fighting unions, which seems to be the original basis for the EFF's organizing. Looks like a list of the usual rich, crooked suspects:

......While Evergreen receives a modest amount of foundation support from within the state

{Washington--my own identification here..GH}

– the conservative M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust appearing to be its largest Washington state foundation contributor – the list of out-of-state contributors to EFF reads like a "who’s who" in the national voucher and anti-labor movements. Foundation contributors include:

The Walton Family Foundation, run by heirs to the Wal-Mart fortune. The foundation, which takes many of its giving cues from national voucher advocate and "paycheck protection" contributor John Walton, gave Evergreen $300,000 from 1998 through 2000. Walton has been a generous supporter of voucher and tuition tax credit legislative, advocacy and political efforts: he gave more than $2 million alone to the failed 2000 Michigan voucher initiative.

The Indianapolis-based Milton and Rose Friedman, founded by leading national voucher advocate Milton Friedman – critical of teacher’s unions for blocking school "reforms" like vouchers. The Friedman foundation gave Evergreen a total of $250,000 in 1997 and 1999. Foundation board members include J. Patrick Rooney, another national voucher advocate who also co-chaired the failed California Proposition 226 "paycheck protection" campaign in 1998. The Friedman foundation counts on part of its revenues from other Evergreen financial supporters, including the Walton, Sarah Scaife and Jacquelin Hume foundations.

The Sarah Scaife Foundation in Pittsburgh, Pa., controlled by national conservative figure Richard M. Scaife. The foundation gave Evergreen $150,000 from 1998 through 2000. Scaife, a leader in the national conservative movement, contributed $50,000 to California’s Prop 226 campaign and supports local and national voucher efforts, as well as conservative legal, policy and advocacy groups.

The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, a leading financial supporter of the Milwaukee voucher program and controversial contributor to far-right causes. The Bradley foundation gave Evergreen $105,000 from 1998 through 2000 – all three grants committed to the "Teachers Paycheck Protection Project initiative to prevent the Washington Education Association from using compulsory dues to support political causes." Projects backed by the foundation have included support for author Charles Murray for "The Bell Curve," the scientific racist book that claimed blacks are genetically intellectually inferior to other races.

The Roe Foundation, founded by the late Thomas Roe, a prominent Heritage Foundation supporter and co-founder of the State Policy Network. The Roe Foundation, which has directed millions to state-based think tanks aligned with the State Policy Network, gave Evergreen $85,000 from 1998 through 2000. Former SPN President Byron Lamm is on the Roe board, along with Heritage Foundation President Edwin Feulner.

what do you have to say to this, you lying creep?

[Hazelise]

32. Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word

No interest whatsoever in EFF, nor the response that I hope you didn't toil over for too very long, because I am simply not interested in either side of this argument as it pertains to your agenda. I HATE the use of propaganda, period and might never have become aware of you or your opinions had I not seen your remarks re: McEachin in this event. I find it dangerous to fall in the ranks of those who make such fierce assumptions on ungrounded basis. You don't know me, you don't know my beliefs, furthermore this is still America and not just for the convenience of those who want to dangerously fling accusations around with a seemingly vested interest in the outcome of what another thinks. Thank you but I DO educate my opinions, of which you are unaware, and my response was strictly confined to the disparagement of James McEachin which, as you discovered, I don't tolerate without remark because I KNOW HOW WRONG YOU ARE IN YOUR ASSESSMENT. I could care less about EFF or Democratic Underground for that matter or Glenn Beck or anything but the WRONG remarks you posted about Mr. McEachin. Take away from it what you will but the fact of the matter is, you have no right to disparage either Mr. McEachin or myself. Seems if your choice is to stick with these unfounded opinions that you are A. seriously mis-informed or B. a the "lying creep" you thought you recognized in me.

So again I say... A typical response from a typical hater. Walk lightly with your remarks lest you are guilty of the same style of propaganda slinging as those you insult. And try not to be such a hater, it diminishes your message tremendously and for this reader renders you not only as "typical," but also predictable, baseless, and without self-inspired intellect, rather a name-calling, information-twisting regurgitator of ideas lifted from another.

'Tis a pity. There is far too much hate in the world. And sadly for yourself, "sorry" seems to be the hardest word....

I wish you peace...

34. Pick up their paycheck, honor their values

It's a pretty simple equation, and if Mr. McEachin is taking EFF money, he takes the taint that goes with it: Union busting, classist, repressive, frivolously litigious, and it all goes into Mr. McEachin's pocket with his honorarium. If you don't want to get up with fleas, it's best not to lie down with dogs.

Oh, and folks here have every right to disparage someone who will abase himself like that for money. See, it's in this quaint old document called the Constitution. And every citizen of the United States gets those rights thanks to our representative form of government, and not because of any military action. If a society's rights are only as secure as its overspending on the military, then it doesn't really have any rights at all.

You might find a more receptive audience to your propaganda at another message board, Hazelise.

8. yes, these are the protesters AGAINST Beck

DO visit the gallery - the ones supporting Beck are really IDIOTIC! One is dressed up as the statue of Liberty.

(edited for typo)

[ThatsMyBarack]

9. In the same photo....

Another lady dressed up in the flag. Yet more empty overpatriotism from the Freeper crowd. :eyes:

[47of74]

10. Person on the left hand holding the sign has the right idea

I'd rather see the third guy get the key myself.

[47of74]

11. And, as far as I can tell

At least the people protesting Beck appear to have all spell checked their signs prior to heading out on the street.

[uppityperson]

15. Nope. "Let the people deicide" Sorry.

People, PLEASE, spell check your signs.

[Hosnon]

16. I noticed that. Perhaps there's an inside joke we're not privy too?

Maybe...?

:hide:

[HughBeaumont]

18. It'd be infinitely cooler if she was talking about the band.

But I suspect it's a case of one too many "i"s.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

21. It might be clever wordplay

Deicide means to kill a god, at least according to http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/deicide. I'd always thought of deicide as those who kill in the name of god, but I guess I was wrong.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

33. I urbandictionaried it...

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=deicide

It could be a typo, but I'm leaning toward clever wordplay that I'm not getting...

[unapatriciated]

25. fail

[tanyev]

26. It might be on purpose.

But it would be funnier to leave the C out of his last name.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

12. "Go home ManBaby"

Oh, that's GORGEOUS!!!!

K&R, for sure!!!

Thank you....................

[Historic NY]

13. compare & contrast Glenn vs Adolf.

[lpbk2713]

14. I seem to recall a pic of Mussolini

... that looked like Beck's pose.

[katanalori]

17. This is from a protester who had a two-sided sign:

[bleever]

19. "Deicide" is right.

Killing their god, the foolish ones are.

[denem]

20. Pic #1 - "BUD OUT!"

Absolutely UnAmerican,

29. Somebody had to pick up that flag that Boob Nofact left behind

[AspenRose]

24. "Tears of a clown"
