Beck's latest effort to draw crowds to his 8-28 rally: "Sleep in your car. I'm not kidding you, sleep in your car"

I remember the "teabagger-run hotels" - back '80s you'd see their signs "American owned and operated."

for 8/27-8/29 Orbitz says 362 hotels with vacancies within 20 miles

he`s letting his following know how it will be if the republicants get back into power.

"Well, they'd better get used to sleeping in their cars if they keep following the advice of Nostradumbass. "

Nerzog, as in this advice only minutes earlier?

Beck declares a "season for awakening" and begs Americans to "do the hard things" and let "the system" "come down"

Sounds like advice for a season of awakening after a lousy night's sleep in your car!

Will the clouds part and Jeebus will come down to annoint you once and for all as the true leader of the world?

Reminds me of the joke where God calls the pope and tells him: "Good news. I'm combining all the world religions into one big one to stop all the fighting."

Pope: "What's the bad news?"

God: "I'm calling from Salt Lake City."

In the garage -- with the door closed.

No, he drives an Escalade.

'tis true

Well, you know it makes for better manufactured outrage when the progressive-run police department run in the innocent conservatives on the eve of 8/28 simply for camping out in their cars. It wouldn't surprise me that this is the reason for his suggestion to sleep in your car, so he can get at least one of his followers arrested as an example that government is out to get you.

"Look, I'm just a dumb guy, after all, I'm not one of those big educated types with a fancy degree, but I know that during the 60s they didn't arrest those hippies for sleeping in vans at Woodstock ... so why is it, on a rally designed to bring people together ... in the NAME of GOD ... it's incredible to me ladies and gentlemen, just incredible ..."

(soft sniffles as he fights back crocodile tears)

"... ladies and gentlemen, if you're just tuning in, Mr. Harvey Smith and his family were arrested by agents of our progressive power ... you know Washington isn't a state, right, so these so-called 'local cops,' you know ... you know they're working directly for ... well, folks, you know I'm not saying that the progressives are evil, ha ha ha ... you know I'm not saying that they're going to actually start running in law abiding citizens ... but .. what was the crime these people were committing? Seriously? I'm not the smartest guy, but what was their crime?"

('thoughtful' pause as Glenn mutes the mic to keep his audience from hearing him laughing his ass off at his stacks of cash at their expense)

"I'll tell you what his crime is ... what his family was guilty of ... his family was guilty of believing in peace, he was guilty of believing that in OUR country, AMERICA, you can assemble for a peaceful day of prayer and unity while the PROGRESSIVES running our country are desperately trying to tear these things down. More on this after the break, our sponsor for this hour, GoldLine ..."

This is a list of events scheduled for 8/28.

The book promo is only 2 weeks away and it's still not listed on scheduled events at the National Mall/Lincoln Memorial.

But that's the whole point, nerz. The rubes sleep in their cars while the grifter gets a good night's rest before fleecing them.

Anyway, who wouldn't want to sleep in their car on a nice humid and steaming DC summer night? (I mean except for dogs because that would just be cruel.)

The event isn't listed on the Park Service's website.

I said it earlier in the thread and I'll say it again. I believe it's deliberate to see if the local authorities try to shut it down and thereby start a conflict.

Hopefully no such thing happens and Beckenstien is just slapped with a massive fine.

Should be good for some yucks.

And yeah, I really like Lt. Dan in movies. I hope he isn't going off the deep end.

I'm telling you, something is going to go down. Some kind of wannabe civil disobedience scam (that's why he doesn't have a permit).

Or it could be something scarier. Who knows? I'll gladly watch from afar.

A sweet thought, but I think Nostradumbass is hoping for violence. Many of his goobers are going to show up armed... so the chance of some kind of confrontation with police or counter protesters is fairly high.

True, and unfunny in a funny kind of way, or funny in an unfunny kind of way. I'm not really sure how to phrase it, but it's fitting.

I think that MMFA is doing something to oppose him. I think by posting here, we do something to oppose him. We get it on the record, and unlike Glennie, the record will be made available. I've gone to his rallies to show my opposition and to document exactly what is going on. He hasn't done anything yet that is illegal or truly immoral, but he skirts the sides of it. You can't just drag the average person in America (or anywhere else, for that matter) into doing something they know to be illegal or immoral. You have to prime them first, you have to strip away their inhabitions. You also have to be very careful not to tip your hand to the con. We need to keep watching Glennie to sound the alarm when he starts crossing the line.

A quote from Terry Prachett's Guards! Guards! may resonate a bit.

" 'You never listen, do you?' snapped Brother Watchtower. "It was all explained last week, we don't go arround finding anyone we make a king.'

'I thought he was supposed to turn up. Cos of destiny.'

Brother Watchtower sniggerred. 'We sort of help Destiny along a bit.'

The Supreme Grand Master smiled in the depths of his robe. It was amazing, this mystic business. You tell them a lie and then when you don't need it any more you tell them another lie and tell them they're progressing along the road of wisdom. Then instead of laughing they follow you even more, hoping that at the heart of all the lies they'll find the truth. And bit by bit they accept the unacceptable. Amazing."
