| − | ==Liberal attempts to silence Beck==
| |
| − | Liberal activism groups attempted to silence Beck by pushing his advertisers to abandon his program, after he alleged that [[Barack Obama]] is [[racism|racist]] against white people, and that he [[hate|hates]] white culture. This prompted "RedState" to defend Beck and call for a boycott of the advertisers on his show who were hoodwinked into boycotting it by the liberal elite.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The publicity over the attempts on Beck's popularity achieved a result that the liberals cannot have intended: Beck was featured on the cover of [[Time]] magazine, and in a final insult to liberal pride; he is depicted sticking his tongue out at the reader. Beck, however, was less than pleased with the Time cover: He stated that ''Time'' ought to have featured the large crowds attending the [[September 12 March on Washington]] and not him on its cover.

| − | On August 28th, 2010, Glenn Beck hosted his Restoring Honor to America rally at the [[Lincoln Memorial]]. [[Google]] attempted to mislead attendees by changing its location in ''Google Maps'' to the Roosevelt Memorial days before the rally.

| − | == Known favorite associations ==
| |
| − | Beck frequently has Judge [[Andrew Napolitano]] appear as a guest on his program. Judge Napolitano has even hosted the Glenn Beck show himself when Mr. Beck was on assignment.

| − | == 9/12 Project ==
| |
| − | In 2009, Beck launched the 9/12 project, a project aimed at recovering America's Christian founding values, closely allied with the [[Tea Party Movement]]. On September 12, 2009 (9/12), a massive Taxpayer March on Washington was accomplished, with hundreds of thousands of attendees, and was roundly censored by the [[liberal media]].

| − | ===The Project's 9 Principles, 12 Values===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The 9 Principles:
| |
| − | # America Is Good.
| |
| − | # I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
| |
| − | # I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
| |
| − | # The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
| |
| − | # If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
| |
| − | # I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
| |
| − | # I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
| |
| − | # It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
| |
| − | # The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The 12 Values:
| |
| − | Honesty, Reverence, Hope, Thrift, Humility, Charity, Sincerity, Moderation, Hard Work, Courage, Personal Responsibility, Gratitude
