Beck rally attendees warned to avoid black people

[Hawkeye2j]

A blogger at Maine Refounders has taken it upon himself to offer repost a DC visitors guide to anyone coming to the Rally For Glenn Beck's Material Wealth, scheduled for August 28th. So, if you want some not-half bad restaurant recommendations or are interested in learning how you can avoid Nancy Pelosi's house, get thee hence. That said, I find this take on the DC Metro system to be sort of comical:

If you are on the subway stay on the Red line between Union Station and Shady Grove, Maryland. If you are on the Blue or Orange line do not go past Eastern Market (Capitol Hill) toward the Potomac Avenue stop and beyond; stay in NW DC and points in Virginia. Do not use the Green line or the Yellow line. These rules are even more important at night. There is of course nothing wrong with many other areas; but you don't know where you are, so you should not explore them.

As someone who rides the Green and Yellow Lines all the time, I can assure you that there are no "rules" that state these subway lines must be avoided at all times, especially at night. But then, I guess I'm not using "A Cliche-Ridden Guide To Avoiding The Black People On The Subway In Washington" as a rulebook. Ironically, one needs to ride the Green/Yellow line in order to visit the National Archives, where the Constitution of the United States is housed. (Not that these rally attendees have any particular reverence for that document.)

Look, Glenn Beck rally attendees, if there's one essential piece of information you need to know, it is this: DO NOT STAND TO THE LEFT ON THE ESCALATORS UNLESS YOU ENJOY BEING MOCKED AND ABUSED. Just remember to stand to the right on the escalators, and your visit will be more than pleasant.

(Also, attendees should read this as an Essential Guide To Terms People In DC Do Not Actually Use. Not afraid to be servicey!)

UPDATE: DCist provides the essential Google Map, revealing the tiny sliver of Washington, DC deemed fit to visit. I'd point out that where I live -- Arlington County -- is generally very safe and hospitable to visitors. The problem for rally attendees is that it's also packed stem to stern with progressives! (Cower in the shadows of the Mercatus Center, I guess?)

Lived most of my life in Maryland -but the Baltimore area.( also deadly -see "the Wire, or "Homicide -Life on the Streets TV shows)

I did work in DC for a few years, never had ANY problems with the Metro.

Now walking in DC,,, that can get you killed ANYWHERE.

It's a bad ass town, go down the wrong street, you got some problems.
Black or white -doesn't matter.

I crisscross that city by metro, with my children, all the time. and yeah, stand to the right on the esculater better yet,,, just WALK up you lazy barstards

[doctordog]

I must have been lucky as I have walked all over downtown at night without issue.

You should be safe. You are more scary than anybody.

Don't mention it.:thumbsup:

If you want a report on how safe it is in D.C. just call the Chief of Police's office and ask her how that "All Hands on Deck" thing has been going and why is it necessary in the first place.

ANywhere outside the immediate are of downtown D.C. can be inherently dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. As a matter of fact downtown D.C. ain't exactly safe. Stay outa Chinatown late at night.

Best bet is don't leave your hotel after 8PM without an armed guard or escort.

Georgetown is okay and a few places btweek K and M st NW and 20th & 17th Streets, NW. Everything else is pretty much a crap shoot.

Its like any other city "ya pays your money and ya takes your chances".

Now, Arlington County can be worse than D.C. as it's infested with MS13 gangs. There is a requirment that you speak at least seven languages to be able to go into Arlington County.

Just remember, carry a cheap dime store wallet with a few bucks in it in your back pocket or purse so you have something to give the nice man with the gun. No one likes going to work and not getting paid, especially muggers.

Enjoy your stay in D.C.

If you hang near the White House you may be safe, I think Obama and the Momma will be in New England. At least tha's one black guy who can't get to ya, at least this weekend.

Meet Bruce Majors: The Tea Partier Advising Beck Rally-Goers To Stay Off The Green And Yellow Lines

http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/BruceMajors2.jpg

On Monday, a Maine tea party blog created a sensation when it published a “visitor’s guide” to Washington, D.C. for tea party activists coming to the city this weekend to attend Fox News host Glenn Beck’s big rally. The guide was widely mocked on blogs and cable news for its paranoid warnings about the vast majority of the city, but overlooked so far is the author of the guide — right-wing activist Bruce Majors.

While the guide’s absurd warnings could be dismissed as written by an overly-cautious out-of-towner who doesn’t understand D.C., Majors should know better — he’s “lived and worked in DC since 1980 (in 3 of the cities 4 quadrants),” according to his blog. Majors should also be intimately acquainted with the unsafe zones of the city, as he is a Realtor who is currently listing several homes (his company has many more) deep within the forbidden zone, and even near the dreaded Green and Yellow Metro lines. And apparently his political views seep into his business, as one client was forced to find another agent after Majors “was extremely inappropriate when he began discussing President Obama and how evil he is.”

But “Majors is no mere small-time troll or newcomer.” He is an active “Tea Party community organizer in Washington, D.C.,” and a major online organizer, especially at Tea Party Patriots. On that site, he is the second biggest poster of all time, with 2277 messages, to the group’s official email listerv:

http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/BruceMajorsTPP5.jpg

He’s organized protests online, and is the owner of the Tea Party Professionals group on Linkedin. He was also identified as a “LP [Libertarian Party] campaigner and everyone’s-facebook-friend” by a libertarian blog. He also appears to have written for the American Spectator, among other publications.

A frequent commenter on progressive blogs, Majors describes himself on his OpenSalon.com profile as an “Anarcho-capitalist revolutionary sharpening his guillotine.” On Talking Points Memo — where he was flagged with a “Troll Alert” and the subject to a lengthy profile — his bio states that he is “[l]ooking for employment as guillotine operator for citizens’ tribunal.”

Indeed, elsewhere in Majors ‘extensive online presence, there is a clear flirtation with violence as a political tool. In a Facebook note titled “We will remember in November,” Majors listed the names of all the members of Congress who voted for the Affordable Care Act — dubbed the “The Executioner’s List” — followed by a picture of a guillotine and accompanied by this call to action:

Call Capitol Hill and promise them retribution. Not just in their next race, but in their attempt to run for or be appointed to ANY office, and any private enterprise they will engage in in the future. And any member of their family.

Commenting on a TPM story, Majors wrote, “Poor walking cadaver [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid [D-NV] shouldn’t run fake tea party candidates to split the opposition vote against him. Someone might drop a plane on him. They already dropped a truck on his family,” referring to a car accident that seriously injured Reid’s wife and daughter. His Facebook page also features two jokes about President Obama’s death (and that he is a Muslim), and a picture of a sign referencing the Thomas Jefferson quote, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

Like his visitor’s guide, which offered advice to dealing with “African immigrants,” Major’s other writings have clear racial undertones. In a tweet linking to an article about Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan and affirmative action, Majors wrote, “Kagan says Obama is ‘my niggah.’” In another tweet linking to a video of Obama, Majors tweeted, “Poor little flop eared bitch. People are so mean to him.” Upon news of White House economic adviser Christina Romer’s upcoming departure, Majors tweeted, “Congratulations Christiina Romer! A house slave is now free. But all us field slaves are still in chains!” On the Shirley Sherrod dust up, Majors wrote:

[I]t is clear that most black Democrats in politics & the media are complete knaves and idiots (much like their white counterparts). The purpose of their constant race focus is, as Angela Codevilla discusses in his American Spectator article, to have a charge, racism, which which they can convict average Americans of a crime so they can then demand to enslave them.

Majors also posted a picture on his Facebook page comparing First Lady Michele Obama to Chewbacca from Star Wars:

http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/MichelleChewy2.jpg

In addition, Majors appears to be a birther, posting images on his Facebook page of a forged Kenyan birth certificate that birthers claim is authentic, and several birther joke images, including a sign saying, “Illegal immigration is destroying this county — look what it did to the White House.”

TPM’s Troll Watch reported that Majors has also conducted “direct e-mail harassment and identity theft against liberals,” using stolen screen names to harass commentors on blogs he has been banned from. Indeed, he is the subject of several threads on online forums warning about his harassment, and he reportedly told one woman who accused him of using multiple screen names to hide his identity, “you silly facist bitch. Do not tell me what screen name I can use or what I am free to say.”

Update In the comments section, Majors unloaded on ThinkProgress, calling us "Podesta concubines" and "little sissies." He denied that he is a birther and noted that the real estate listings linked to above are out of date. "The rest of your article is equally uninformed and dishonest, but then you were hired to toss [George] Soros’s salad and not much else," Majors continued, without offering specific corrections. "I suspect little ticks like you are going to have to see more fun made of Odumbie and Michelle Antoinette as time wears on. Suck it up, quislings!" he concluded.

Damn she does favor chewbacca, HO HO HO:lmao2:

Parade Rain, you need to put up a link to that.

[Moby]

Beck's rally just happened to be scheduled on the same as the "March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom". It's going to incite emotions but let's hope this low life piece of shit doesn't incite any violence and just sticks to hate, false and misleading information.

You've been very light on posting your factual data. Sure you can link to The Washington Examiner but when asked to support your beliefs when you make claims of numbers, you generally refuse.

You generally dismiss them when I do if they are not from a liberal rag or website.

And what would be the purpose? You'd then just say it was a "talking point" and not address it. Most of us understand how you operate. Yawn.

You are the one filled with hate. How sad.
