Glen Beck, Dr. King and a Rally!

Things that Make You Go HMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I am no fan of Glen Beck. Glen Beck says he had no idea that his rally coincided with the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech. So what!!!!!!!!!!!! Why does it matter? It is his right to hold a rally anywhere and anytime he wants. At least he wasn't spewing hate, but if he was, it was his right. Maybe I am missing something? Further, I believe Dr. King would have attended and approved of Mr. Beck's rally.

Beck continuously urged Americans to turn back to god and to wake up and revive the American principals. Beck insists that the rally was devoid of politics--sure Mr. Beck! If so, why did you invite Sarah Palin?

"Beck told Fox News, the network that carries his weekday television program, that the rally was meant to reclaim the U.S. civil rights movement "from politics," arguing that the movement was about "people of faith." Was this meant to be a religious rally? Further, Beck claims that this rally was about people of faith who believe that everyone has an equal right to justice. Ok, as of current, who has been denied an equal right to justice?

The Rev. Jessee Jackson stated in a CNN interview that Beck was "humiliating the tradition." I am sure we will hear about Mr. Beck in days to come!
