At one point Glenn Beck pointed to a picture of prince whipple a black man who crossed the Delaware with George Washington. Stopbeck must have been angry at this because he tweeted.
Note to cretinous fraud @glennbeck: Don't let the name fool you. Prince Whipple was a slave. SIIIIIIGH.These are Stopbeck's only two comments regarding the astounding feats we heard about in this show about the black founders. Among the accomplishments mentioned was the first black speaker of the house in the 1870's. I would like to ask Stopbeck if he really thinks that patriot african americans where only fighting because they were FORCED or whether they also fought out of patriotism and valor? If Stopbeck is going to dismiss the accomplishments of those who were forced into war then maybe he ought to dismiss all those who were drafted to fight for America in Various wars. Is he going to say they only fought because they were forced to? Stopbeck also lied a couple of day earlier when he tweeted.
Wow. Glenn Beck opens show by pointing to slave, characterizes him as "helping row the boat." Uhhh, not by choice fool!
Bizarre: @glennbeck attacks purple heart recipients, suggests that receiving it lacks integrity and honor. Uhhhh....Glenn Beck did nothing of the sort. He just said that a person gets a purple heart for being wounded but George Washington awarded badges of merit for valor. The next day Glenn Beck said he proudly displays two purple hearts given to him by servicemen in his office at home. Here is the transcript of what Stopbeck says is disparaging of purple heart recipients.
GLENN: We have our first announcement on 8/28, Restoring Honor. I want to tell you the beginnings now of what I have planned in August and you need to start making plans today to attend. In 1780 George Washington developed a badge of merit. It is what our Purple Heart is modeled after. He only awarded, for the records that we have found, he only awarded three of these damages of merit. At the time the world only gave medals and badges and everything else to officers, but he was looking to create in his words an honorable and Christian army. He was looking to build people of integrity, people who understood merit and honor. He said the road to glory in a free country is open to all. It was the first time that anybody had ever done that, looking at the farmer and saying you don't have to be an officer and do something honorable. It was not about the Purple Heart, surprisingly. The Purple Heart was modeled after the badge of merit after they were found in 1933. And that's when we started awarding purple hearts. But it was not for honor. It was just for being wounded. That's not what the badge of merit was under George Washington. He used to keep the names in a book called the book of merit. He talked about it in his writings in 1782. The book has never been found. But the badges have been. We're going to restore honor by restoring the road to glory that in a free country is open to all. We are going to begin awarding badges of merit. We're designing them now and they are — I haven't decided if we're going to make them into actual medals that you would pin on a chest or wear like the medal of honor or if it's just a badge, exactly the way George Washington intended.
