Glenn Beck is a Victim of Discrimination

You seem to believe in some really strange definitions. Refusal to associate does not mean discrimination. Discriminating against someone implies that you are taking something away from them i.e. rights, property, opportunity, etc. in today's vernacular. Deciding not to associate means simply "not contributing". A world of difference. And you can decide "not to contribute" for myriad reasons; religious considerations add no special baggage to the equation. I do not attend the church down the street because I am an atheist. A religious reason if you will. I am in no way discriminating against that church because I don't show up on Sunday. If you can't see that, no point in talking to you.

Ol' Glenn has it tough. I mean, he's White, male, middle aged, and extremely wealthy- the most victimized segment of American Society, by far.

Every time I contemplate his plight, I get tears in my eyes as big as horse turds, I'm tellin' ya... honest. As big as horseturds.

Your atheist not going to church is a bad analogy to the Beck situation. A more appropriate analogy would you not going to a Christian's birthday party. The birthday party has nothing to do with the Christian's faith. That would be discrimination. Similarly here, Beck's rally is not about mormonism. It's mostly a political publicity stunt. So Christians not going on the account of his mormonism is discrimination. Nobody's asking them to go to a mormon temple with him.

Glen Beck is kind of funny.

Yeah, he looks like a 60's era used car salesman.
