Glenn Beck's 'Restoring Honor': Albert Pujols receives Hope Award
Twitter
GoogleOn the 47th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech, radio host Glenn Beck kicked off his "Restoring Honor" rally, which is billed as a non-partisan event in Washington D.C. The rally features, among other speakers, former Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin and St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and player Albert Pujols.
Beck has said the rally will "reclaim the civil rights movement" in helping America turn back to God. Part of that was giving the Hope Award to Pujols, who is currently in Washington D.C. for a series against the Nationals. La Russa and Pujols agreed to be involved only if the event was apolitical -- La Russa and Pujols recently found themselves on opposite ends of the Arizona immigration law debate, as La Russa supports it and Pujols adamantly does not.
If you'd like to watch more of the rally, it is streaming live on Facebook. Complete information about the rally can be found at Glenn Beck's official site.

Pujols? That don't sound like an American name.

I still don't understand what this rally is even about.
used to be a pujols fan, not anymore.
MLK was about GOD and unity not racebaiting like the sharptons...
I can't understand these people saying that they're no longer a fan of Albert Pujols because he went to this "rally". If that's your feeling, then you were never really a fan of his to begin with. I'm not a Glenn Beck fan, by any stretch of the imagination(anything right wing-related makes my hair hurt), and yes; I'm a bit disappointed in La Russa and Pujols attending this thing. But to say I'd stop being a fan of his would be, in simple terms, just plain stupid.
Obama the candidate talked a good good yet he has done nothing but divide us. MLK was a real leader, for all people, like Lincoln.
Obama is no Lincoln.
How can Zap2it even pretend to report on this trash from psycho-boy Beck as if it's legitimate or news worthy? Beck is a lunatic mad-man that even the Right Wing is beginning to realize as a megalomaniac bi-polar whack-job whose hate speak is beyond dangerous. I'd expect to hear something about him on Fox News; not any legitimate source of any information, entertainment or otherwise.
I love how beck has said this is a non-political event. Yea ok righttttt.
"I have a scheme" said Rev. Glenn Beck.
