The increasingly irrelevant Glenn Beck today announced his next big event that’s designed to take much of the remaining wealth of his dwindling fan base and redistribute into the checking account of the once-mighty gadfly. Beck will hold a "Restoring Courage" rally in Jerusalem sometime in August
More details will ooze out during the days and weeks to come so it is unclear at this time exactly how Beck will manage to make large amounts of cash off of this event. (Even though Beck promised to donate all of the net proceeds from his “8/28 Restoring Honor” rally, no accounting from himself or the Special Operations Warrior’s Foundation has been made publicly available).
From Scott Baker's article, published on Beck's website, "The Blaze":
“I believe I’ve been asked to stand — in Jerusalem,” Beck told his audience recounting a list of times in history when people and nations failed to stand with the Jewish people… Beck detailed current challenges facing the nation — “Things in Israel are going to get bad…it’s only a matter of time.”
“They are going to attack the center of our faith, our common faith, and that is Jerusalem. And it won’t be with bullets or bombs. It will be with a two-state solution that cuts off Jerusalem, the old city, to the rest of the world.”
“It is time to return inside the walls that surround Jerusalem and stand with people of all faiths all around the world.”
Sure indications that the upcoming Jerusalem event is designed to line Beck’s pockets will be:
1) A link to purchase Beck’s latest book titled, “Restoring Courage, Except When It Comes To Apologizing To That Fat Bitch Meghan McCain.”
2) A link on his website that directs you to a Beck-approved (Mormon) travel agency that just happens to have spectacular deals to Tel Aviv.
3) A plea for you to donate money with the promise that all “net proceeds” will go to a worthy charity. (“Net proceeds” gives Beck a lot of flexibility).
4) A link to another Beck book titled, “How To Turn Your Narcissism Into Cash.”
5) An offer to have lunch (you furnish the food and beverages) with David Barton, Chuck Norris, and Sarah Palin, for $20,000.00.
A source within Beck’s company, Mercury Radio Arts, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told me that over the next three years Beck plans on continuing the “Restoring” series with events tentatively titled:
1) Restoring My Career
2) Restoring Credibility (sorry Mr. Beck, you can’t restore something that you never had).
3) Restoring Honesty (see above parenthetical).
Stay tuned for further developments.

Gosh golly gee, I sure do love me some rightwinged strawmen.
Thanks for the heads up. I plan to take the entire month of August and do like the Italians do...have a vacation from anything related to that dumb, mentally ill freak, Glenn Beck.
Did he commit those murders?
