Evangelist Bill Keller: Glenn Beck and Gandhi 'Going to Hell'
By Carl Franzen - AOL NewsNEW YORK (Sept. 5) -- During the the inaugural worship service of a proposed "9/11 Christian Center at Ground Zero" on Sunday, evangelist minister Bill Keller slammed Islam and Mormonism as "lies from Satan." At the same time, Keller maintained that his project was not in opposition to the proposed construction of an Islamic community center two blocks away. "It's not an anti-mosque," Keller said of his proposed center, which would be the first physical church constructed by his online ministry, LivePrayer.com. "For lack of better terminology, it's an old-time Evangelistic center where we're ...
Agree or Disagree, at Least Albert Pujols Stands for Something
By David Whitley - AOL NewsAlbert Pujols and the St. Louis Cardinals won't lose the National League Central to the Cincinnati Reds. They're going to lose it to Glenn Beck. That's the joke going around this week. Since Pujols and Tony La Russa appeared at Beck's "Restore America" rally last Saturday, the Cards are winless and their All-Star first baseman is batting .118. I don't think Pujols is cursed. He's just confused. One day he's a hero for taking a stand. The next he's a skinhead. So if you wonder why athletes aren't more outspoken on political and social issues, look no further than Pujols. We tell them to ...
Smithsonian Snags Memorabilia From Glenn Beck, Al Sharpton Rallies
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyThere is a reason the Smithsonian Institution is affectionately known as "The Nation's Attic." Its curators and historians collect all manner of stuff. And Saturday, Aug. 28, was just another work day, as staffers at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History went on the hunt for memorabilia to add to the collection of 3 million items. From Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial -- held on the 47th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream speech" and massive civil rights march -- they snapped up "a water bottle, pamphlets, leaflets, ...
Hey, Glenn Beck: You Should Listen to Rev. Jeremiah Wright
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailyObama doesn't believe in God? Of course he does. Here's a simple reason why. After sitting on a pew Sunday after Sunday listening to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, as Obama once did, no one could doubt the God of the Bible exists and no one could pretend to be a believer to boost an image or political future. The talk about Obama and God stems from remarks by Glenn Beck, who raised doubts about the president's religious beliefs after the talk show host's D.C. rally last Saturday. As Politics Daily editor Melinda Henneberger wrote, Beck's rally wasn't about politics, so Beck said, but rather ...
The Dugout: Restoring Honor
By Brandon Stroud - AOL NewsAlbert Pujols has truly lived a blessed life. He was given an amazing prowess for baseball by our Creator. He has won the World Series. And now, he's been given a Star Wars-like giant medal by a politically-aggressive talk show host! Today's Dugout will be a recap of Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally from this weekend. A couple of disclaimers: One, hopefully you'll read the entire thing before scrolling to the bottom to leave me a comment about how I am an idiot. Let me rephrase that ... I hope you'll read more than the title of this comic before scrolling down to tell me I'm an idiot. ...
Making Sense of the Glenn Beck Phenomenon
By not in system - AOL News(Aug. 31) -- "Do you think Barack Obama was watching, maybe from one of those helicopters?" asked someone on the bus that was shuttling tired but not weary participants from Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" event. For Leslie McPherson of Villa Rica, Ga., who had taken an even longer bus ride to participate in the Saturday gathering on Washington's National Mall, it was all about the politics. The president may not have attended the event, but he was in the thoughts of this veteran of local Tea Party rallies, sitting next to her military veteran brother. "What's going on now," she said, "you ...
Glenn Beck: Making Sense of the Man and the Movement

Why Is It So Hard to Estimate Crowd Size?
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(Aug. 30) -- Size matters. At least it does when it comes to reporting crowd estimates. Take Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally, held Saturday on the Lincoln Memorial -- the anniversary and site of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream Speech." Besides being an important illustration of the scope of Beck's popularity, the number of attendees also poses a test for mainstream news operations. Will they be able to stand by their figures, or be forced to retract them? (As has been the case countless times when crowd-inflation or miscounting has been exposed.) Plus, at least in this ...
Video: Albert Pujols Honored With Hope Award at Glenn Beck Rally
By Ryan Wilson - AOL NewsEarlier this week it was announced that St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and first baseman Albert Pujols would attend Glenn Beck's Washington, DC rally Saturday. And true to their word they were there. The gathering was billed as a nonpolitical get-together to honor the military and "restore honor" to the country. Despite the premise, the day was not without controversy; the event happened to be the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther Kings Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. The day featured appearances by Sarah Palin and Beck, of course. And below, a video of La Russa introducing ...
Family Feud Erupts Over Martin Luther King's Legacy
By Byron Tau - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (Aug 28) -- A day of activism and protest in the nation's capital today featured two prominent members of the King family laying very different claims on the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy. Addressing a massive crowd gathered at the Lincoln Memorial for Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally, King's niece, Dr. Alveda King, tied the civil rights icon's legacy to the themes of honor, patriotism, service and faith that were highlighted at the gathering. "Today, we are here to honor special men and women, who like my uncle Martin are blessed with servants' hearts," she said. ...
