Glenn Beck to hold March on Washington on anniversary of Dr. King's march

Now he's just looking like a prop on television. People can do silly things to get attention, but Dr. King died for his day of rememberence. There's a line that Beck is trying to cross that shouldn't be disgraced. Any other day would be okay, but to dishonor the memories of King is wrong and selfish. I agree with Beck in most cases, not this one.

He is looking to disrespect Dr, King and what he stood for, civil rights and racial equality. Mr. Beck's purpose is to inflame African Americans and to make the Klan proud, like one of those Palin winks. Anyone who agrees with Beck makes me efficacious….Mr. Beck doesn’t even agree with himself often.

The idea of Beck and his racist Tea Baggin' 912 Project redneck "ready for a new civil war" crowd up there on August 28 standing in the same spot where MLK made his speech makes me sick to my stomach.

Descent people must resist Glenn Beck's racial insensitivity. Let's not aid and abet this race-baiter. Today he offends African-Americans. Tomorrow, you're next.

Hey maybe the Obama administration can "get him back" by tearing down pro-life laws on the traditional "March For Life" day in Washington? Oh wait...he already did that.

...I hope someone inside the Beck camp starts recording everything he says behind closed doors, and outs this hatemongering racist for what he is, before he incites something even more disgraceful than this crude publicity stunt.

Phil - A growing, core group of republicans are already pronouncing Lincoln a traitor and have rewritten the history of his assassination to be an execution by "true" Americans. Tomorrow is already here. My family and I will be there standing in silent opposition to Beck and his fellow white supremacists. Look forward to meeting you there.

MLK was an individualist not a collectivist you liberal morons...

Who on these posts is perpetuating stereotypes of conservatives? - The collectivist mindset of the left is the root cause of racism - just put people in their little groups you liberal turds - keep segregating society you racist liberal weenies

This is so wrong. As nauseating as his 9/12 march was - this is just a slap in the face of American History. What's next? A March on the Grassy Knoll on Nov. 22nd.

Just a sad day and state of affairs. Glenn Beck has the right to say what he thinks...i certainly defend it. I just have to wonder....not about him but the people who follow him. How duped can the right be now....anything including un-American behavior is OK? Conservatism also is about defending American tradition and the basic values. I didn't know that fascism and hatred needed defending because we fought 2 world wars last century because people just stood by. I am just getting so tired of the message being aimed in a hateful and vitriolic manner. I sure hope that someone on the right can stand up for all of America. I sure miss W...he may have been many things...but he was not for this type of divisive un-American behavior.

Dr.King stood for freedom and equality.People like to talk about revisionist history but fail to mention that it was Democratic Senators from the south and north who tried to block Civil Rights legislation.Who were some of these Democratic Senators???William Fullbright (Bill Clinton's mentor),Robert Byrd (former KKK member) and Al Gore Sr.just to name a few.Yes it was Democrats or Dixiecrats as they were called, who stood against The Civil Rights Act.I bet most of you did not know which party sat the first Black delegate for a nominating convention was either.I bet you don't even know his name.Well I will tell you it was Fredrick Douglas for republicans in 1868.There are so many glaring examples of how the republican party has historically been for equal rights it is dishonest for people to ignore the facts and have a serious debate.Dr. King was not for government programs he was for a man being judged simply by the content of his character not the color of his skin.Dr.King also stood for freedom of speech which he used often to preach and try to help those blinded by hate to see the light.Just because someone says something you don't agree with does not mean they don't have the right to say it no matter how much you disagree.If you want censored speech try Canada,the U.K. or even China.If people wanted to honor Dr.King they would organize a peaceful rally either just b4 or just after Beck's or during just so long as it's peaceful.If violence were to break out it would disrespect he who would participate in it and Dr.King all in a split second.

It's so sad that after a almost a whole year some people still can't deal with the fact that we have a black president in the year 2009..I don't have a problem with people protesting policies because we are all entitled to our opinions, but when you have people continously trying to bring this man down for no other reason than the color of his skin, that's just plain ridiculous..And we all know that if this was any other white man running this country Democrat or Republican, he would have never come under this much fire.

This is just wrong on so many levels. Of course Beck has the right to rally and speak. BUT My problem is his militia crazed, racist, Obama as a african witch doctor sign carrying lunatic fan base. Beck does not represent King- all of Beck's STUPID banter about our Founding Fathers and going back to the ways of 1776 is beyond crazy. Who in the right mind wants modern society to mimic the politics of back then. Beck and the rest of the wingnut fringe of our society are dangerous for society.

David, I've heard your argument before, suprisingly almost verbatim (I wonder where it came from), although you forgot to mention Jackie Robinson. You also forgot to mention the 1960s civil rights bills were introduced and signed by Democrat presidents. I don't get it. If so many Republicans supported civil rights and so many Democrats opposed them, then why did so many in the South (Dixie Democrats) turn to the Republican party in the 1960s after the passage of the civil rights bill? Why did Nixon and other GOP presidents rely on the "southern strategy" to win elections? Why do so many minorities vote overwhelmingly Democratic? Why are your examples all from the 1960s or worse, the 1800s? Don't you think Frederick Douglass supported Republicans b/cuz Lincoln, who started the Republican party, helped to end slavery? Why did white supremicist David Duke run as a Republican and not a Democrat? Why is Republican Orrin Hatch trying to roll back the Fair Housing Act, which is part of the 1968 civil rights act? I don't think Republicans are more racist than Democrats, but they have pandered to racists in order to win elections.

Here is how the Civil Rights Act was voted on by party. It shows an overwelming Republican support of the time. The original House version:[9] Democratic Party: 152-96 (61%-39%) Republican Party: 138-34 (80%-20%) Cloture in the Senate:[10] Democratic Party: 44-23 (66%-34%) Republican Party: 27-6 (82%-18%) The Senate version:[9] Democratic Party: 46-21 (69%-31%) Republican Party: 27-6 (82%-18%) The Senate version, voted on by the House:[9] Democratic Party: 153-91 (63%-37%) Republican Party: 136-35 (80%-20%)

Thats cool. Let him have his "March on Washington" Because whites have seemingly evaded justice for so long, they dont believe it exist, at least not for them. But their time in control of everything is just about up. And thats why they are so angry. They see the handwriting on the wall. So march on. I just wanna make sure Im miles away, in case God decides to execute instant justice and send a thunderbolt down on their behinds right at the Lincoln Memorial. And have a Washington Dc. marshmellow roast.

Hmmm... What if Obama held a rally at the Lincoln Memorial on some Aug 28? Would he be a hate-mongering racist too? I'll bet Obama would also make the Klan proud.

What is wrong with many of the people in this country? Many liberals try to suppress the opposition to their socialistic efforts by calling them racists? This is all about what Dr. King so fervently fought for....freedom! Freedoms that we secured by our fore-fathers and the Constitution. That is what we conservative, not Republicans, or Democrats or Independents but CONSERVATIVE, Constitutionalists are revolting over. It is time that we get back to the strict interpretations of the Constitution which give the people control over the government, NOT the other way around! We need to re-establish the Bill of Rights and fight for those freedoms that Jefferson and Madison so artfully crafted in the Declaration and Constitution. It is YOUR freedoms that are be usurped by those in government and by those who want government to give them what they won't work for themselves. Glenn Beck and others are the vehicles by which the country will be mobilized and motivated to wrestle control away from the socialists who have bankrupted this country with out of control spending and non-top entitlement programs. Do yourself proud and join the Glenn Beck's of this country who are fighting for your and my rights!

Glen Beck is just another right-wing clown laughing on his way to the bank on the backs of the conservative right-wing sycophants (hear me Herbert and Kevin?). Beck, Limbaugh, Palin, Hannity are using the unease many have of a black president to divide and boost their bank accounts. The right-wing trolls on this site throw around words like socialist and communist as they are stuck in McCarthyism. MLK was also called a communist... sound familiar?The conservative right-wing are seeing America changing before their eyes and they are terrified, they should be!

I wonder why anybody would have heard what I put about civil right legislation Katie.Look at the statistics Benjamen has for you.If you want to look them up for yourself you can.The fact remains that in the past any and all political figures have pandered to racists.I never suggested that Beck might not be of his rocker.I am simply tired of issues being parsed down into democrat or republican when clearly neither party has our interests at heart.The civil rights bill didn't pass until 1968 so in the 60's doesn't fly either.Why do so many minorities vote overwhelmingly Democratic? Because they believe the pipe dream that the democrats are selling.Do you even know why Orin Hatch is trying to roll back the Fair housing Act?It is not good policy to give out loans based purely on race regardless of the credit worthiness of the buyer to avoid being called a racist lending institution.Charles if white people are soooo racist and in control how did Barrack get elected?If every person of a minority group that can vote voted for Barrack and NO white people did he would lose every time.The fact is minorities need to stop painting with such a broad brush that white people are inherently bad or in control.The fact is there are more poor white people than there are poor any other group.Martimal you couldn't be more wrong about W if you tried.George W. Bush was the most divisive President we have ever had and I quote "you are either with us or you are against us".W. squandered almost all goodwill that has been built up towards our nation over its history.These arguments about socialism and Mcarthyism are just so played out.Two years ago it was Bush who was the Nazi,now its Obama.First it was the left with these charges now its the right.When is America going to wake up and realize that we are all being played.When are we going to realize that this deep division is exactly what the powers at be want?

Glenn Back is a self-serving jacka**

David, who are the "powers that be?? Overwhemling that would be white people with money. I don't understand why people don't see that this is not about Beck standing up to protect his and our contstitutional rights, this is straigt up about a black man being president. I didn't see the likes of Beck get this riled up when Bush and his crew violated practically everyone of our civil rights with the Patric Act. Where was the outcry against and the disdain for W that these folks seem to have for President Obma. Blacks vote for democrats because that has been the party recently to sympthize with those who don't have boots to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. God forbid that people who are elected to office actually serve the people instead of their own interest. So being a democrate these days translate into being a socialist nazi. Wow!

David, you can pretend that the Dixiecrats did not become the Republican party all you want too. You can pretend that Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms are these great civil rights icons all you want too...but don't expect anyone else to buy into your fantasy. You need to get off the drugs, or find some better ones.

David, I don't know why Orin is trying to roll back the Fair Housing Act. But, the FHA of '68 covers those protected under other most federal laws: race, national origin, sex, disability and something else I am forgetting. If you read the history of redlining and exagerrated pricing, you will see why minorities are a protected class.

It is not good practice to use a broad brush and give minorities advice on what we need to do as if we all speak with one voice. Yet, question Charles for using the same brush.

It is my belief that minorities overwhelmingly vote democrat because republicans do not offer a reasonable alternative. Whites overwhelmingly vote republican for the same.

Now about Benjamin's numbers. This history was revisited after a recent Maddow segment where some right wingers accused one of her guest of revisionist history. To that point, there are some inherent problems with those numbers. First, support for the CRA of'64 was cleanly divided between the north and south, irrespective of political party. It is true that most southern democrats (who later became dixiecrats) voted against the Act, NO southern republicans voted in favor - even though they had smaller numbers in congress at the time.

Southern Dems voted 145-9 in favor while Southern Repubs voted 0-10. Senate Dems from the south voted 1-21 in favor while Repubs voted 0-1. Outside the south, dems voted 145-9 while Republicans voted 138-24.

Hopefully I was able to put those numbers into perspective for you and anyone needing clarification on the oft-mentioned fallacy of Republican support of the CRA.

Thanks Midwest Guy. I appreciated the facts that you gave us. Good Looking Out!!

Stop including Jackie Robinson in your ridiculous attempt to gloss over your Southern Stategy practices of the last 40 years. He was a registered independent. This is a quote out of Mr. Robinson's autobiography recounting his experience at the 1964 Republican National Convention: "that convention was one of the most unforgettable and frightening experiences of my life. A new breed of Republicans had taken over the GOP. As I watched this steamroller operation in San Francisco, I had a better understanding of how it must have felt to be a Jew in Hitler's Germany."

I am so sick of guys like Beck and the revisionist who say that the republican party was the true party of civil rights. And the idea from guys like Matt saying that MLK was really a conservative is laughable to take seriously. I think Beck is on the same "medication" that Limbugh was on.

This is absolutely awful. It would be a kick in the side to allow this drunken kook and his lemmings to attempt to cloud the memory of a great American with their nonsense.

Thanks but I should correct myself, Southern House dems voted 7-87 against. Dems outside the south voted 145-9 in favor.

Glenn Beck's views often run counter to Dr. King's views? Are you crazy? Dr. King would be standing on the podium right beside him if he were here today. Scott H.

This 'man' really is mentally ill and since it runs in his family, mother killed herself, brother killed himself, its amazing that no one has made him get help, but, with Fixed Noise paying him millions, I guess they don't care, along with the hate mongers who love him and hate America.

I think Glenn Beck is right on target! I don't usually go to rallies but I will be at his march on August 28. (Now, all you accomplished "internet psychiatrists" can begin to try to analyze me. While you're at it, make up some really degrading and deragatory names to call me. Come on....you KNOW you want to!)

I wonder if anyone even talks to their neighbors anymore. I went to the 912 march and it was peaceful. Yeah, but the media only showed the most extreme. PEOPLE wake up. Stop believing everything CNN and MSNBC. Hell I even know not to listen to everything that Hannity says. Talk to your neighbors that went to the march and ask them what they believe. More government means less freedom. Think people. People you know went to the march and they are good people. Lets start talking America, to one another.

mlk was a republican! and if you listen to what beck says in all of his monologues , beck and mlk hold alot of the same beliefs. and i challenge anyone to dig up one comment that glenn has said that is racist. and that means hating someone or saying that someone is a bad person based only on their race.

I agree with Beck that we need to change the direction of the country. Both parties have allowed individual freedom for all Americans to be taken away by a government no longer interested in the ideal of freedom. MLK wanted all Americans to enjoy equal opportunity and freedom and so does Beck. It's time for all of us to regard ourselves as individuals first and foremost. When one individual's rights are violated, so are all of ours. Let's bring back liberty to the USA.

Anyone that thinks Glenn Beck is a hate monger has obviously never really listened to him. And HELLO people, MLK was a REBULICAN!! Look it up! It is the left and libs that are trying to distort and CHANGE history! Glenn beck is for FREEDOM from a tyrannical government. And when you have communists and socialists in the WH there IS a problem! And for those of you that say "so what if they are socialist", then WHY are those in the Washington trying to LIE about it and hide and cover it?!?! Why not be up front about it? Because they KNOW that MOST Americans do not believe in, or want socialism/communism. WE DO NOT WANT the government TAKING OVER everything!! Not healthcare, not our banks and not our auto companies or any other companies! That’s what Glenn Beck stands for. Has NOTHING to do with ANYONE’s color of their skin, it is the POLICIES coming out of Washington! I will be at that rally standing up for America, WITH Glenn Beck!

You guys are just jealous that Beck is actually getting the truth out to people. Your lies and revisionist history has been exposed. How sad. Democrats are for controlling people (redistributing wealth), behind closed doors deals, buying off senators, spending beyond their means, doing whatever it takes to make sure cap and tax(trade) goes through so the price of gas, oil and electricity goes up so that the common everyday person cannnot afford it, ruining the best healthcare in the world to help a few, etc...the list goes on. Some of the republicans are just like them. You've gotta love em.

I find it incredibly entertaining watching all the "Beck Haters" and "the left" scramble to find ways to discredit what they cannot... I call it the Palin principle: if you can't discredit the truth - just make up ignorant lies (like they have and continue to do to Palin).. The uninformed and the ignorant will follow pace... Glenn Beck is a true patriot and cares about this country! I and MANY - the majority of Americans - do as well. A significant number of us will be there on Aug 28th to show you just what we are all about. And take pictures because there will be Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and whatever color of the rainbow someone might be - we are ALL Americans – and we are not going away. It's YOU who are the minority!

IF this is Black America's Daily News Source, the blacks need to wake up & realize it is not a black & white thing. i could be offended b/c i am white & Obama is 1/2 white. His style offends me not his color. He is a socialist trying to take away our freedoms & dictate to companies the salaries that can be paid, dictate to banks which loans they can approve (like high risk home loans), dictate to American tax paying citizens which health care plans & health services they would "qualify" for, pay off LA senators for Hurrican Katrina problems (btw folks in Galveston are still waiting for our govt trailers to arrive b/c of Hurricane Ike but they are still occupied by "Katrina Victims)BRING BACK COMMON SENSE!

People (including Beck) need to learn the truth about Lincoln. If they did, they wouldn't have an 'honor' speech at his memorial (and he would't even have an memorial). Read _The Real Lincoln_ by Thomas DiLorenzo. The Real Lincoln • Opposed political and social equality of blacks and whites. p 11. • Defended a slave owner and big corporations when he practiced law. pp. 15-16. • Wanted to deport all blacks to Africa, Haiti and Central America. p 17. • Supported the Fugitive State Law, which forced citizens to aid in returning slaves to their masters in the South. p 21. • Wanted new western states to be for free white people. p 21. • Opposed Negro citizenship in Illinois in 1858. p. 29. • Fired General Fremont after he tried to free southern slaves. p. 29. (Similarly rescinded an emancipation order – covering conquered southern areas - from General Hunter in 1862) • Was concerned with forcing the southern states back into the union, not freeing slaves. p. 35. • Signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves only in the areas of the south not already under Union Control. It was ridiculed by the contemporary press. pp. 36-37. o The Proclamation caused the desertion of over 200,000 northern troops, plus backlash against blacks in the north. p. 45. • Chose war to resolve slavery, rather than following the eleven other nations in the western hemisphere that ended slavery peacefully earlier in the century. This resulted in the deaths of over 620,000 Americans. p. 50. • Could have purchased all the slaves and 40 acres for each head of house for less than the cost of the war. p. 50. • Had been a member of the Whig party, which wanted a central bank (like the Fed), high tariffs, government subsidized projects, and an empire. (President Tyler resisted these, though he was a Whig. p. 66-67.) o The Confederate Constitution, like most state constitutions of the time, forbade internal improvements (because they were known money-wasters and payoffs to friends). p. 84. • Arrested without trial the majority of the Maryland State Legislature before they could vote to secede. Also prevented the Delaware legislature via military occupation from discussion secession. pp. 105-106. • Arrested without trial numerous New Yorkers. p. 139. • Put Kansas and Kentucky under martial law. p. 139. • In 1836, his Senate illegally rammed through Congress a law indemnifying the President, his cabinet, and the military from lawsuits. p. 139. • Held 13,000 political prisoners. p. 140. • Suppressed free elections in the North in 1864. p. 144. • Ordered the postmaster not to deliver over 100 different newspapers that were editorially critical of him. p. 145. o Mobs of Union soldiers destroyed the printing presses of about 8 newspapers. p.148. • Unconstitutionally carved West Virginia out of Virginia for greater Congressional power in 1864. p. 149. • Arrested without civil warrant his political opponent Congressman Clement L. Vallandigham and had him deported to the south. p. 154. • (Side note: Jefferson said in the Virginia Declaration of Religious Liberty, “to compel a man to contribute to a cause with which he disagrees is sinful and tyrannical.” p. 209. How would he respond to National Health Care?) • His Republican Party: o never even secured the ¾ majority required to ratify the 14th Amendment. p. 211). o three months after the war, started a campaign of genocide against the American Indians to make way for the transcontinental railroad. p.233. o financed that incomprehensibly wasteful railroad. p. 250. Later, another transcontinental railroad was built privately at no cost to taxpayers. • The concept of an abolitionist North is a myth. The abolitionists were a tiny minority. Several Northern states in 1861 prohibited black immigration and had severely discriminating black codes. pp. 257-258.

Most of you libs are so frighteningly missinformed it's dangerous. Have any of you ever actually LISTENED to Dr. King or READ his work? He'd be considered a radical right-wing extremist in today's America. You're all freakin nuts.

I didn't see anything racsist in what he said or did at all. In fact, i think it was a very fitting tribute to Dr. King. I believe alot of reporters and people running other media venues, such as blogs, are only calling him racsist because they want him to seem like a terrible person so that no one will listen to him. I believe that someone wants to debate him on the issues that they should do just that, instead of making up lies about him. If you actually listen to Glenn Beck on a regular basis you would see that he is obviously not a racsist, and you might even find a legitimate reason to not like him rather than makin one up.

Beck is the man who accused President Obama of having a deep-seated hatred for whites. He has said many other inflammatory things that have destroyed his credibility. I have listened to him often enough to form a negative opionion of him, one he richly deserves. If I'm watching someone with his lips moving and I hear the words, there is no way I am going to make up things about him. Those posters who think blacks need to "wake up" can also count people of other races who don't like him any better than we do. And that also includes white Republicans.

When I look at Obama I see a man who hates the power of freedom, I see a man who hates America. Obama says that America, the beacon of freedom to many in the world, has done it all wrong and needs to fundamentally be reformed….the freedom of the individual should be disregarded since people are so selfish wanting to take care of them self and the ones they love. America was the land of the free…free to eat, drink, work, laugh, speak, own, read, hate whatever the individual wanted as long as it did not infringe upon the rights of another individual…that’s the only purpose for the government and Obama, to protect my rights to pursue my happiness – not yours.

For those with short memories, I would remind them that many conservatives marched arm in arm with Dr. King for civil rights. Republicans in Congress voted in larger percentages for the Civil Right bill than Democrats. It was southern Democrats who fought President Johnson to stop passage. And Dr. King, a Republican, never cared about political affiliation, religious background or the color of a person's skin. He welcomed support from all corners. He fought for all of us with honor. Therefore a rally to "Restore Honor" on the anniversary of Dr. King's historic Dream speech is absolutely appropriate.

As a FORMER GOP'er of 45 years experience, I suggest Beck perform in black-face at a Memphis, TN, motel and NOT at the Lincoln Memorial, where such a comedy performance would be too insulting for words and remind me why I once had warm feelings for the party of Lincoln.

this guy david(if he is a "guy") speaks about the many "glaring" examples of how the republican party endorses civil rights..he must be speaking about the civil war era republican party? I think Glenn Beck was a struggling comic before getting on FOX television,when he attempts to rationilize points on his show(especially when in the company of political thinkers, not comics like himself) he tends to struggle with points or surrenders to the complete idiocracy of his position.That "stuff"(I'm not going to call his words "information"..that would be truly ridiculous.) that he said about the King movement was just plain...stupid.

Has anybody been watching Glenn Beck on Friday? He has (on Friday's) been doing a show on Fridays called the Founding Fathers. A couple of weeks ago he did a show on the African-American Founding Fathers. And because it was well received he did another show on the African-American founding fathers. Yesterday he did one on the women of the revolution. No where in the history books of today do you read about these courageous people. This history was wiped clean from our schools around the turn of the 20th century. Why? This history was taught to the children before then. Don't believe me check it out for yourselves as I did. I had never heard this before and didn't take Glenn's word for it. I checked it out for myself. He adamantly tells his audience to do the homework for themselves. Have any of you checked out what he is saying or just spouting that the man is a racist? Do some research on who the progressives of the 20th century were and what they believed. I am not going to tell you, check it out for yourselves!!!

MLK was against slavery....so I am. I'm tired of being a slave to HUGE government. The two agendas tie together perfectly. I think both races should show up and protest slavery!!

Sorry, clowns... Beck isn't a racist and it is the liberal establishment that has distorted Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision. King (like Beck) wanted people to see beyond color. The American Left is OBSESSED with color and race. It's all they ever see. It's all they WANT to see. It's how they measure the worth of people, and counter to King's principles, liberals today value groups of people differently, based solely on matters of color, race and ethnicity. Flagrant, arrogant racism that liberals ridiculously disguise as anti-racism. Damned, damned fools. And don't give me that crap that being opposed to illegal immigration is a euphemism for standing in opposition to all immigration. I doubt you would find King espousing mass illegal migration into America. My grandparents came here legally. Is that too much to ask of ALL future citizens?

AntiFa! No Platform! Give them what they deserve!

I am organizing a counter-protest to fight this Beck blasphemy. I will be carrying a sign that says, "Glenn Beck, You are a F*king Terrorist."

Dear Stephanie and others, Why is it that people cannot accept that most of us were proud of having the first black president (after Clinton, of course) but we are very worried about his policies and the huge government bureaucracy and deficit that he is creating. Also it would help to remember what was said about Bush when he was in power - they even made a film about killing Bush - do you remember that? Not that I agree with this kind of behavior, but it is just to show you that nobody is singling out Obama; this is the political game in 2010 - Bush got worst treatment from the Media and the liberal left. All you have to do is read the Bills and find out about all the new government departments that will have to be created to enforce ALL the hundreds of regulations that have passed in the last 18 months (And they do not even read the Bills before they sign it). Doesn't any of this scare you? Conservatives are not racist. We just do not want a huge incompetent government(liberal or conservative)and we do not need to encourage class or race fights either. We got the black president but now this is not enough; we want a black president that cannot be criticized? Please remember that it is political correctness and welfare (a democrat idea to keep blacks dumb and dependent)that have created this pathetic black insecurity and passivity, a bunch of irresponsible black men and our victim-hood.It is time for us to stop believing the race pimps and learn to live the American dream of hard work, individual responsibility, commitment to our families and independence - the white man is not responsible for our demise, we are. Let's work together to build a community of responsible citizens.

I am having trouble hearing the racist speech from Beck. He is obviously against Obama policies and seems to poke at the ACORN scandal. Does that make him racistN does that make him hate? I hope we don't get to a point in our country where we can't disagree with government policy without being dubbed a racist. I am glad there were black supporters of Beck in the audience. I hope they are not called names based on their difference of opinion.

Martin Luther Kings niece announced the other day on Becks show that she will be there to support Beck this is not to disgrace him it is to honor him if any of you took the time to check Beck out instead of following the typical media you would know this. Also on the Tea Party being racist the one I attended the speakers consisted of White Black and Latino race being a question is another one sided attempt by the media to warp the opinion of the typical person. Before you call the Tea party members racist check them out for yourselves dont even take my opinion look into it for yourself before you form an opinion.

The thing people on the left know how to do well in criticizing Beck and his followers is to call them names. They can't discredit one thing he has ever said on his radio and TV show and he BEGS them to do it. It just proves they don't know what they are talking about. That is pretty scary. Count my in for August 28th!

I think the fact that Dr. King's niece is going to be standing next to Glenn Beck that day says alot! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! Once again, the media attempts to play the race card and divide America even further. We cannot let them succeed. This is not about race for heaven'sake!!! This is about our FREEDOM BEING TAKEN FROM US!! Thank God for Glenn Beck and his knowledge of history and his passion to EDUCATE ALL OF US! Why doesn't our President have the guts to call him on the red phone one afternoon? I will be there!!!

We are not rasist...we just want to take our country back. Obama stole the election do to voter intimidation at the poles by the black panthers. THAT IS A FACT. And the only reason blacks have there civil rights is because the REPUBLICANS gave them to them. Back in the 1960s the democrats were lined up with senator KKK Bird...and "reverend" King was too busy haveing affair and consorting with communists to care about "his" people. That is why Glenn Beck and us will be marching on August 28 and the Lincoln Memorial.

Why dont you people read your history before you post. Go Beck

"Beck, whose right-wing opinions often run counter to Dr. King's views, plans to hold his own march on Washington next year on the anniversary of the day when King delivered his famous "I Have A Dream" speech." By far the worst and most inaccurate reporting I've ever seen in my life.

I really appreciate your writing style. This can be a excellent post! Thanks!

There is ONE MAJOR thing that doesn't get talked about when talking about Obama. Lest we all not forget that this MAN is coming in as President having to clean up the mess of previous administrations?! Obama DID NOT create the economic crisis we are in now, he did not start any of the previous Gulf Wars. This mess and state that this country is goes back to the past 3 Presidents. One thing Obama said over and over again, was that it is going to take him YEARS to make things right in this country and he is right. How can anyone expect this MAN to solve 21 years of mess that BUSH, CLINTON, & LIL BUSH created. PLEASE people USE your common sense.

L. Marshall: Most of these idiots hate President Obama with a passion. They threw their common sense, if they ever had any, out the back door.

I've had it...if I hear the statement "first black President" again, I don't know what I'll do. Abe and Martin are laughing their asses off at all the rhetoric, finger pointing, and BS in the media today. O'bama is NOT black...NOT white. Why is the black part the dominent part...why not the white? Is he ashamed of the white part? Or does he figure being black is more to his advantage. He is not the first black President...he ain't the 44th white president...he's the 44th President, period. I feel GB has the right to do what ever he thinks is correct...he has alot of respect for MLK and expresses that on a regular basis. He chose the date because of the importance of the message delivered that day...blacks and whites (normal ones), understand that. What is wrong with trying to restore HONOR in our government...ourselves and in our country? I feel better now...:)

President Obama is called the first Black president, because he has the same racial makeup as 90% of all African-Americans. Do not forget your history. White men polluted the African race in America. Your blood runs through most of our veins.

Actually, Mr. Beck wants ALL people to be treated equal and to have the same opportunities as everyone else. he simply expects people to EARN what they have. Like Dr. King, Glen Beck is fighting a for a just cause. The sooner we, as a country,come together and stop seperating ourselves by the color of our skin, the sooner we can heal as a nation. Mr. Beck's rally is non-political. It is a rally to hoonor our faith (whatever faith we choose to follow), the military and our proud American Heritage. The idea of Reverand Al Sharpton putting together a rally AGAINST these things is disgusting. If it's a matter of diversity, please, I cahllenge you to see which "rally has the more diverse speakers." After we see who Mr. Beck has lined up to speak, it will be clear who the true racists are. Hint: The racists last names rhyme wwith Harpton, Backson, and Nealous

If not being Black or White is not an issue for Barack Husein, then why does HE and every body insist that he's Black! When the one's that Raised him were HIS White FAMILY, YES FAMILY members. What he should say and be PROUD of, is that he is the firstHALF BLACK / White President. I'll bet nerly avery president had MIXED BLOOD. This RALLY (NOT MARCH) is for ALL LEGAL AMERICANS, AND MAINLY about FALLEN VETERAN HERO's So stop trying to insite Racisim!! WAKE UP every time color is mentioned, it's BAD WHITEY, BAD CRACKER. Enough allready.

If you are "AGAINST" PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. BOOO BECK.8-28 If you are "FOR" PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. God Bless You. Me to. Hope, Faith, Charity. King would be Proud. Me To.

I assume that the all liberals that are against him having it on that date at that location are also 100% against the ground zero mosque being built too, right?

america it is time to stand up and be counted - be personally responsible for your life and your families. like our forefathers who started from scratch and became citizens and responsible adults working any job and they did achieve success and owned their own homes and supported their families. stop illegal immigration and see how much money the gov t. can save. you are all welcome here if you follow the law - if not you should be deported. why should we reward breaking of our laws. we didn't depend on the govt. to support us we worked our fingers to the bone and did without until we achieved our goals., Beck is just reminding us of what we have to lose - God and faith is the backbone of our country. STAND UP FOR YOUR FAITH AND YOUR COUNTRY!!!!!

please stop with this racial ID...love or hate yourself,but hating or identifying your neighbor based on race cuts to the core and accomplishes nothing but evil. (GOD BLESS DR. KING)...he would have approved of ALL that happened at the 8/28/2010 rally...he worked NOT for racial separation,but with the faith and knowledge that we are ALL created in God's image and all of our rights as God's children come from God. Stop trying to rip this USA to pieces because of some wrong tenets it had in the past.Move forward knowing we exist by GOD'S GRACE as individuals with God-given freedoms in this U.S. of A. >>>>as stated in the Constitution. Freedom is not free,but must be preserved Human's yearning to be free just didn't happen.. it took much effort and yes bloodshed to gain this freedom You can not just sit back and allow some political type to promise or threaten you and your family with "change" and expect these government types to protect these hard-achieved liberties to be preserved...NO.. they will be taken from you and replaced with centralized government programs, which empower them in the government and leave you and your family less secure,much less free,and under the thumb of those that make these flowery promises Faith,Hope,Charity are all tenets Dr. King loved It IS UP TO YOU TO PRESERVE THE LIBERTIES GIVEN TO US Build to the positive, do not destroy this great USA on the hard ideology of the left
