Only two months until Glenn Beck brings the civil rights movement "back to its conservative white roots"

This week, when Glenn Beck wasn't busy smearing President Obama and George Soros with blatantly false and absurd conspiracy theories or devoting entire shows to defending Joe McCarthy's legacy, he was promoting his upcoming 8-28 rally in Washington, D.C.

After Beck discovered that he accidentally scheduled the rally on the 60th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech, he saw a great opportunity to engage in his favorite pastime: delusional self-promotion.

According to Beck, his rally's scheduling was "almost divine providence" because King's legacy has been "corrupted." As a result, Beck has repeatedly characterized his rally as a way to "reclaim the civil rights movement," saying things like "we were the people that did it in the first place." As usual, every Beck story needs a villain, and he has blamed the "distortion" of the civil rights movement on -- you guessed it -- "progressives." As Stephen Colbert put it: "Finally, someone is bringing Martin Luther King's movement back to its conservative white roots"

As reported by Media Matters' Will Bunch, top U.S. civil rights leaders have accused Beck of "hijacking" King's legacy, and have planned a counter-rally the same day as Beck's.

According to Beck, his rally "will be remembered in American history as the turning point," and "is going to be one for the history books," because it will be seen in 100 or 200 years as the "moment America turned the corner."

Based on the way Beck has promoted the rally, hopefully this "turning point" will be the moment everyone in the country stopped taking Beck seriously.

and play the audio of MLKs speech "Beyond Vietnam". That would be so perfect.

:applause:

that he cannot control. I know he will not survive it-I just pray that the rest of us will.

It is especially disgusting Glenn Beck would use the famed civil rights leader's name to promote his hate rhetoric. What is worse is that the RW talk show host is too stupid to realize that he is indirectly supporting the things that the minister talked about in his speeches.

After all, it would be a cold day in hell if Glenn Beck all of a sudden supported the eradication of poverty. And even more, I'd think it would turn the man ashen gray to realize how anti-war Dr. King was. Those things, along with the support of true equality of people of color in society, would make this jerk's head spin.

That's why I know that Beck is nothing but blowing smoke where the sun doesn't shine.

to let Beck know he can't shit on Black people.

He and America is in for a big surprise. :evilfrown:

...demonize the "Progressives"?

Isn't it WEIRD?

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you,
then they fight you.......

that Beck would use a great man's legacy to further his hate filled agenda.
