Is ‘Beckapalooza’ about cause or Beck?Even as he prepares for a Saturday rally that could cement his status as an unparalleled force in conservative politics, Glenn Beck is facing quiet but persistent questions from some on the right about whether he can be a reliable partner for advancing conservative causes — or whether his main cause is advancing Glenn Beck.Liberals, meanwhile, have blasted the event, as a partisan political rally intended to boost Republicans headed into the critical 2010 midterm elections. They’ve also accused Beck of exploiting civil rights iconography to advance his cause. Beck’s rally is scheduled for 47 years to the day after Martin Luther King delivered his “I Have a Dream Speech,” on nearly the same spot at the Lincoln Memorial where King spoke.The rally will be keynoted by prospective 2012 GOP presidential candidate Sarah Palin and is being supported by a host of influential conservative groups and politicians, some of whom are planning political events before and after the rally But Beck has insisted “Restoring Honor” is apolitical, casting it as a celebration of America’s military personnel, emphasizing that any proceeds will go to the veteran’s charity that is funding it and urging his followers to leave political signs at home.
