NAACP President Says Beck’s ‘Restoring Honor’ Crowd Wouldn’t Applaud MLK Speech
Eyeblast TV / The Blast ( Media Research Center) ^ | 8/30/2010

Posted on 08/30/2010 8:19:16 AM PDT by blog.Eyeblast.tv

Benjamin Jealous, president of the NAACP, told Eyeblast.tv at Al Sharpton’s ‘Reclaiming the Dream’ rally at Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C.– a counter protest to Glenn Beck’s ‘Restoring Honor’ rally held on the same day from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have A Dream’ speech–that if you were to read King’s speech to the crowd in attendance at Beck’s rally, no one would applaud.

Does most of the left even know that MLK was a registered Republican?

guess because Glenn Beck is white?

NAACP is out of touch and maybe not worth honoring?

MLK, Sr. was a registered Republican.

I'm not sure about MLK, Jr.

We’d “applaud” his speech, taken at face value.

I’m not saying that he was a hypocrite,
but I AM saying that any modern day race baiter
that holds up MLK as the standard IS a hypocrite,

because they certainly don’t seek the day when
people are judged by their character and not their color.
EVERYTHING is about race to them.

"Has-been" Al Sharpton. What a joke, a very bad joke!

So what does God say?

So is Al Sharpton with God ... or against?


Is Barack Hussein Obama JUNIOR, THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN CHIEF, Christian?
Well, IS HE?

So I ask again,

Ben quickly left the stage to continue his search for the Glenn Beck sex tapes.

I applauded many times to the King references on Saturday. I admired is ideals...though I’m not completely sold on his personal character as a whole from what I have read.

I’m also not convinced that he would be much different than what the “reverand” Al Sharpton is today.

To understand this loser’s reaction to the 828 Restoring Honor rally, you have only to look at his last name. Sharpton’s rag-tag little band of counter protesters barely broke 300 in attendance, while Beck’s garnered anywhere from 300,000 to 500,000, according to estimates.

I’ve read elsewhere that the crowd at the Restoring Honor rally was “only” about 3-4% black, meaning that anywhere from 9,000 to 12,000 were in attendance at Beck’s rally - more than 30 times as many as at Sharpton’s, in other words. Little wonder the the NAACP prez is Jealous.

Benjamin....

Dr. King's speech moved me deeply when I was not quite 12 yrs old...

And moves me this very day to consider his proposition:
THAT:

It's not about the color of one's skin...
But the content of one's character.

'nuff said...

The hate mongering, race-baiting, racists have a bad case of crackerphobia after Beck’s gathering of loyal Americans. Expect them to rally behind the slogan, “Beat Whitey,” because the hatred the left is stirring up can only be satisfied with ignorant violence.
