It almost sounds like a bad joke.
What do you get when you put Glenn Beck, Martin Luther King, a Muslim mosque, and the site of the 9/11 attacks together?
Complete insanity.
The Headline in the Washington Post reads: Glenn Beck's plans for rally on a hallowed date and spot spurs countermarches
The hullabaloo is over the fact that Glenn Beck, the conservative talker that has climbed the ratings charts in a maddening fashion since he came over to Fox News, plans to have a "Restoring Honor" rally, with former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin as one of the scheduled speakers, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, 47 years to the day after Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech there.
Beck announced the rally last November, and says it is not political. The goal of the rally is to ". . . honor the troops, unite the American people under the principles of integrity and truth, and make a pledge to restore honor within ourselves and our country."
The likes of people like the Reverend Al Sharpton, or Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League, are not happy with it.
Glenn Beck says that when he chose the date he didn't realize at the time that it coincided with the anniversary of Martin Luther King's speech, but it seemed appropriate.
Black liberals plan a counter rally, and are angry that Glenn Beck would do such a thing - you know, plan a rally at the site, and on the anniversary, of King's "I have a dream" speech.
Why are they upset with Glenn Beck? Shouldn't they be happy that yet another person is bringing attention to King's speech? Is Beck too white for them? Or worse - Is he too conservative for them?
Remember, black liberals are convinced that conservatives are racist, even though it was the Democrats that filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Remember, black liberals believe that these Republicans are racist, even though it was the Republican Party that was born with the first priority of eliminating slavery from the United States.
The very thought of the existence of black conservatives have got to be driving these black liberals insane.
Let me get this straight. These so-called civil rights leaders are angry because a conservative is having a rally in Washington DC on the anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech, calling it insensitive, and uncalled for. Yet, these are the same people that are encouraging a Muslim mosque be built a couple blocks from where the twin towers once stood, failing to see how insensitive, and uncalled for, the building of a mosque at that location truly is.
Maybe those liberals don't see Ground Zero as hallowed ground?
