Discussing the power of prayer with David Barton on his television program last night, Glenn Beck declared that the deceptive video campaign to smear Planned Parenthood as illegally "selling aborted baby parts" is "a blessing from God."
"I'm really being humbled here," Beck said. "I'm regretting that I haven't gotten down on my knees and thanked the Lord for the people that have brought us these Planned Parenthood videos. We, as a nation, should be giving God thanks ... That is a blessing from God and I haven't thanked him for that."
Later in the program, Beck choked up as he begged people to join him "come Hell or high water" at his rally in Birmingham, Alabama, on August 28.
"I want you to hear me clearly and carefully," he said. "I truly believe [that this] is a turning point, right now, in what we're dealing with. We have to pray to Almighty God, we have to thank Him for the things He has given us, we have to ask Him for our role in it and we have to beg Him for His mercy, that he will open up the way. We have to stand for life. All. Life. Matters. That we can all agree on."
