He might get a audience of 81 at least.
AIPAC Pays For 81 US Lawmakers Vacation In Israel
While the US continues to struggle with its economic issues Congress is on vacation. Many are upset at the news reports that 81 members of Congress have chosen to spend a week relaxing in Israel. These vacations are being paid for by AIPAC. Adam Shapiro, an activist, tells us his thoughts on the matter.

Chris Hayes is Rachel Maddow's doppelganger.
It was a stretch to discern any real meaning from Beck's word salad. It's like he's taking lessons from Sarah Palin. But the evangelical tone remains consistently disturbing.
Frankly, I don't know how he could get 1700 people to show up. Was it an Israeli audience, or did he import them?

Beck will probably say that those seats were being used by the angels.

Yep - those Israelis really need a courage boost from beckerooni. Thanks for posting the silliness Brad, but being a left-wing kind of blog you're going to get inundated with the jew haters now. All it takes it mentioning "israel."

Odd comment. Even if I accept your "left-wing kind of blog" description (which I don't), are you suggestion that "mentioning 'Israel'" would have a better reception on "right-wing kind of blogs"? If so, the folks at places like Stormfront might take issue with that.
In any case, with the exception of Mick, who is always reliable for showing up and figuring out how to tie all the worlds woes to Israel somehow, this post has been up for 24 hours, and hasn't been "inundated" at all as you've suggested.
So I'll hope you continue to be wrong in this case

So are you saying that its perfectly normal for 81 of your elected lawmakers to be on a free tour of a foreign country during a time when you are engaged in two wars and your whole economy is in the toilet ?
Israel has a population of about 8 million ,what other country are your Lawmakers visiting en-mass this holiday period ?
Some say that you are in the war in Iraq at the behest of the "Office of Special Plans" that worked out of the Pentagon .Oddly enough it had a disproportionate amount of Jewish/Israeli firsters.
And Afghanistan ,you know the war of revenge for the events of 911 ,allegedly masterminded by Usama Bin Laden .You know Tim Osman ,wink ,wink ! And of course how can we forget the hundred plus ISRAELI spies arrested in the days after 911 .Some celebrating the event and latter admitting prior knowledge and saying on Israeli National TV "they were only there to document the event"!
And lets not talk of Dr. Alan Sabrosky and his opinion on 911 (google will inform anyone not familiar with him).
I've visited this site since day one and cannot help but notice the lack of results with regard to achieving election integrity in your great country . So rather than "showing up and figuring out how to tie all the worlds woes to Israel somehow" I'll leave it to you and hope that before America drags us all down the toilet you actually get some positive results regarding your electoral system and that your blind acceptance of all things Israeli doesn't lead us all into WW3 .

Actually, Brad, I can think of another cliche from a town near your home that ALSO has a very large Jewish Community, Hollywood.
"People Stayed Away in DROVES!"
As for only 1700 or so attendees, the explanation ia perfectly simple. The Koch Bros. MAY be able to supply busloads of paid shills in THIS country, but springing for transatlantic airline fares for similar numbers would actually hit their bottom line. I DO think that Beck's failure to attract even the most rabid members of the settler movement to his "event" also speaks volumes.

A.I.P.A.C. needs to be registered as an organization that lobbies on behalf of a foreign government, just as the Turkish lobby is registered, the German lobby, the Armenian lobby and so on. The only reason it isn't is because as soon as anyone suggests it they are immediately tarred as an "anti-Semite", a term that has practically lost all meaning nowadays from misuse by the Zionist lobby to smear anyone who dares criticize their shitty little apartheid state.
On another topic, how about the Brad Blog doing an exposé on 9/11 for the tenth anniversary? How about laying out the numerous impossibilities and "coincidences" that show the official "nineteen hijackers" myth for what it is, a giant pack of lies? I realize that election fraud is the main focus of this blog but how about for the tenth anniversary of the most important issue of our time you guys do a story showing how it was clearly an inside job carried out to provide the pretext for a series of wars for energy resources, sold to the public as a "War on Terror"? What other issue comes close to it in importance? None, considering 9/11 is repeatedly used as the excuse for any foreign adventure and domestic repression since then. So how about it Brad?
