Beck: I have a plan

Glenn Beck has announced that he has a “plan.” Or maybe that should be “The Plan.”  Basically, he says that his “plan” involves a series of “conventions” (so far only one has been announced at a special patriot price of $25 to $85 per head) giving you a chance to meet with him all day to be educated.  Then later on August 28, 2010, the full story will be revealed by Beck at the “feet of Abraham Lincoln.” Apparently Lincoln didn’t see him coming.

Given his claims that Obama is a socialist, it is of interest that Beck was quoted today as saying:

We need to think like China and have a 100 year plan for America!

At that same rally, a Beck fan snapped this picture of the crowd. Note carefully how Glenn Beck appeals to all ages and races.

By the way, August 28 is the anniversary Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech. As between the Beck event and MLK’s speech, which do you believe will continue to be regarded as a high point of American oratory.

Glenn Beck can’t spell

I guess his inability to spell should not shock anyone. But he went to great lengths to create an acronym and failed.  Sigh. (via Fake Steve Jobs)
