White Folks can't rally at Lincoln Memorial
2010-08-28
Beck could have hosted his "Restoring Honor" rally on any date besides the 47th anniversary of the March on Washington, and at any other location besides the same location where King led activists to demand an end to legal discrimination and inequality.
For the same reason, the Progressive Left could protest the military at locations other than Marine recruiting stations, but they don't ...
But Beck couldn't resist sticking it to leaders of civil rights organizations.
Yea, having MLK's niece on stage with him will really stick it to them?
The whole point of a rally is to stick it to someone ...
His antics are designed to pander to the extremists in the Republican Party who feel threatened by a black man in the White House.

For instance, when Beck called President Obama a "racist," it was shocking, even if it didn't make much sense.

"I'm not saying he doesn't like white people. I'm saying he has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist," Beck said.
What bothers the professional Left the most is that Beck uses the word 'racist' the way most people understand the ordinary use of the word as opposed to the way it's defined in an academic department of race and gender studies ...
Apparently, it didn't matter to Beck that Obama was surrounded by white strategists during his campaign or that whites outnumber blacks in his administration.
There's a news flash!
But it's cool because the white folks are all card-carrying democratic socialists, and all understand the proper way to use 'racist': that is, against Republicans ...

#11  "It appears that Glenn Beck's rally has drawn more folks than Keith Overbite has viewers."

At least a dozen people then, Spatch?

#8  Schlessinger, who was forced off her long-running radio show after she said the N-word 11 times during a broadcast, has been in the media long enough to know that whites can't get away with using the word.

Yes, I recognize this prohibition is a double standard.

But given the painful history the word carries, this is a double standard that whites ought to be able to live with.

Now Remember, boys and girls, that Mary Mitchell is not a racist. Repeat after me, "Mary Mitchell is not a racist. Mary Mitchell is not a racist. Mary Mitchell is not a racist."

Oh and I hate to point out the obvious MaryÂ…you being a really smart progressive and allÂ…but do you thinkÂ…just maybeÂ…Beck chose the date for his rally for some other reason?

Oh...I dunnoÂ…maybeÂ…

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

#6  I think most people realize that Beck's brand of freedom was not what Martin Luther King Jr. had in mind.

And by “most people”, Mary Mitchell means really smart progressive folks – like herself.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

It's really not that difficult to grasp.

#1  THat's the problem. To any normal person. racism means favoring one race over the other for no apparent reason. To these so-called "Black Leaders" and the liberal who use them as poltiical slave plantations, racism is the act of not treating blacks liek helpless small children, victims of white opression and in constant need of government assistance, preferences, and liberal "leadership" by peopel the liberals (in the press) anoint. Apparently their view of black people is they are too shiftless to choose their own leadership, too lazy to work hard enough to get anything without assistance, and too stupid to decide any issue on its own merits without direction for liberals... so liberals TREAT blacks as if they were shiftless, lazy and stupid. Hmmm. Just who are the racists after all?
