Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- "We are on the right side of history! We are on the side of individual freedoms and liberties and, dammit, we will reclaim the civil rights moment. We will take that movement -- because we were the people who did it in the first place." -- Glenn Beck, on his nationally syndicated radio program, May 26.
It is Glenn Beck's most audacious stunt yet: This Saturday, in the company of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the National Rifle Association and others, the Fox News Channel host will stand in the sacred shadow not just of the Lincoln Memorial, but of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. himself, near the spot where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech 47 years earlier to the exact day.
During this event -- billed as "Restoring Honor" -- Beck will aim to "reclaim the civil rights moment" for his cause, and in the process he will continue what he's been doing for the last 18 months: bending the history of 20th-century America like a Philadelphia soft pretzel.
The revisionist message behind "Restoring Honor" is nothing new for the conservative shock jock. In the year and half since President Obama took office, Beck has led his loyal followers on a journey not just to "reclaim" civil rights but much more audaciously to rewrite the sweeping narrative arc of American history from the time of the Founding Fathers forward.

ahh, no he is preaching for his own ascendancy to godhood, that's what lds do.
Oh snap
Too bad; as it shows where your priorities are.
A mans POLITICIS is more important than his SOUL.
Sadly; no.
(Of those who DO; many fail to FOLLOW it's teachings!)
a person’s soul is outside the jurisdiction of FR.
last I checked it was a private one on one discussion with the final judge.
i am so over Beck and his pandering and King worship
i just don’t get it
btw...Beck was on TV last nite saying all this was unintended
they had no idea when they booked the joint
Abe’s place
It took THAT long before the TRUTH was written?
further disclosure:
I like the niece far better than I liked the uncle and I was alive then
What?
You do NOT want MORMON writings posted here?
Why not?
You are right on target; press the release button...
Methinks thou protesteth much.
But it STARTED with that 'little' lie: "Beck is a CHRISTIAN."
We will NOT let things like that go by!
I'd like to know how Beck was able to arrange for the MLK speech anniversary to fall so conveniently on a Saturday this year. Must have taken some doing.
This is not a religious thread!!!
Joseph Smith REWROTE the 'history of Chrsitianity'.
Beck has CHOSEN to follow his teachings.
NOW just WHY don't you want 'religion' to be ALLOWED here?
The entire essay is written haphazardly and reasoned poorly. He is screaming that Beck is wrong but has not bothered to put forth even a shred of evidence to support his contention.
This rally is about America and the need to take it back with the same spiritual/religious zeal that it was founded upon.
