Albert Pujols just won Becks's "HOPE" award...

[Bluebear]

He thanks God for giving him the platform of baseball to share the Gospel, etc etc....he also appears to be the only minority member at this ridiculous clambake.

Sorry, had to edit, as poster geek_sabre downthread says there have been plenty of minorities at the rally. I only watched a snapshot of it.

1. Just lost all respect for Albert.

[terrya]

2. Keith Olbermann said last night that Pujois opposes the "papers please" Arizona law

One wonders why Pujois is at that rally.

If you're watching that on television, you're a better man than I.

[Bluebear]

4. One of my workplace friends is all into this shit...

I clicked over online to see it and was greeted by facebook people thanking God that 117,000 are viewing it online (they don't know how many tuned in to make fun of it lol), thanking God for Glenn Beck, thanking God they live in this country... all it is is a right wing fundy movement with another name IMO.

10. Ugh.

Sounds vile.

And, what an unfortunate time for Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert to take some days off. :-(

[Bluebear]

15. Only good thing is that the less this nonsense is covered the better :)

[terrya]

16. Yeah, you're probably right.

It will be forgotten soon. :-)

[geek_sabre]

3. only minority? Didn't a black pastor just get the "Faith" award?

[Bluebear]

6. I didn't see it, I watched about 40 seconds and just saw Pujols and the crowd.

Maybe they are saving the minorities for stage roles.

[geek_sabre]

12. it was literally 3 minutes ago.

If you're not watching, don't make generalizations about it. It is easily debunked.

The crowed appears 100% white (from the shots I've seen on C-SPAN), but there has been diversity on stage.

[Bluebear]

14. Aw, hide the thread and go away whoever you are.

[devilgrrl]

26. Sounds like you wish you there.

So? Why aren't you?

[rucky]

5. He'll need it to beat the Reds.

[mike r]

7. Great White Father bestows honor on obedient worthy model minorities

What a freak show.

[CAG]

8. Sounds like Albert is into a lot of "social justice" activities, and the

current charity dude is also into a lot of "social justice"; I thought Glenny boy thought that was socialistic naziistic communistic atheistic kenyanism?

[Iggo]

9. Fuck you, Albert.

[eShirl]

11. How does one earn a Tea Scouts merit badge, anyway?

[pinboy3niner]

13. Invent the McDonald's clamshell

[dsc]

17. MLK's neice is supposed to be there

but that might be the pastor referenced below.

[pinboy3niner]

18. She's on now

She also did the anti-gay NOM bus tour this summer. :puke:

[dsc]

20. I didn't know she participated in the tour

I attended a counter protest in Raleigh but we were kept far enough away that we couldn't see or hear the speakers.

[pinboy3niner]

23. She was a featured speaker throughout the tour

It was pretty disgusting, MLK's niece fronting for anti-equality...

[dsc]

24. she really is a disappointment to say the least

the whole tour was pathetic.

[rusty fender]

27. You gotta wonder how much she is being paid...

if that's all she's got, if that's how she makes a living, fronting for racists and homophobes...how pathetic.:eyes:

[iamthebandfanman]

19. bleh

[Tippy]

21. The Cardinals up until now has always been my team

Hence forth I will never atend another Cardinal game....Such a shame they agreed to do this anyone in their right mind knows this is ALL POlitical.

[GoCubsGo]

25. Up until now, I liked Pujols and LaRussa

And, I'm a Cubs fan. Now, feh. I hope the rumors that LaRussa will replace Lou Piniella are just that--rumors. If that happens, I do believe my days as a Cubs fan will be over.

[Tippy]

28. Well it might be more than a rumor if more Cardinal fans

learn about this little diddy....

[MilesColtrane]

22. The correct spelling is Poo-hole.
