Dr. Alveda King – the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968)– explains why she's speaking at the Glenn Beck 8/28 rally
[which Willie Bunch calls the rally: "Beck's most audacious stunt yet"] set on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial this Saturday
Dr. Alveda King: "Americans are hungry to reclaim the symbols of our liberty, hard won by an unlikely group of outnumbered, outgunned, underfunded patriots determined not to live in servitude to the British Empire. If we want to sing the national anthem at a memorial to the man who led this fledgling nation out of slavery, and made my people free, we should be able to send our voices soaring to the heavens."
Beck’s “Rally to Restore Honor” will give us that chance, and that’s why I feel it’s important for me to be there."
On July 4th, Atlanta, at the gravesite of the black civil-rights activist, MLK; Dr. King said she and a group of more than 100-30 pro-life black pastors and a busload of supporters strong, came to declare that abortion is the greatest violation of civil rights in our day. Dr. King said she brought a wreath to lay at Uncle Martin’s grave [Martin Luther King Center for Nonviolent Social Change] and to pray, but the King Center Staff had barricaded the entrance to the federal park surrounding the gravesite.
"We weren’t allowed", Dr. King said.
King's cousin Martin Luther King III, the president of the center, had given her permission orally to stop at the gravesite for a prayer during her visit, but when the center’s CEO received requests from Altanta pro-choice groups to hold protests on the site, he decided no one would be allowed at the grave and erected a temporary barrier metal fence around it.
Dr. King responded by climbing into a reflecting pool beside the grave and declared: “Okay, lock me up, but explain to my uncle why you locked me up; explain to my father why you locked me up … explain to Jesus why you locked me up.”
Park Police told the gatherers singing was not allowed at the memorial-- in this case “The Star-Spangled Banner”
" The National Park Service stated the gathering also constituted a demonstration. One park ranger even joked about getting their clubs out. "It was a joke, but still, how nonviolent was that?” Alveda King said. She did slip between the barriers and said her prayer, then she joined the pro-lifers still assembled on the sidewalk.
The LA Times just posted comments: "I hope he (Beck) says Obama hates white people again. That would make it truly hilarious and ironic," wrote dmblum1799.
Ucvbn Bjfyuvs says, "Glenn Beck's dream is a fascist (corporatist) dictatorship."
LA Times reader Michelle T commented, "Just another demonstration that Glenn Beck and his viewers are racist. How stupid does he think people are claiming that the rally being on the I Have a Dream Speech anniversary is coincidental? Claiming that it's divine intervention demonstrates he is far from being a true Christian. Christ would have had nothing to do with a hate monger like him."

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.
Willie is a BUNCH of EXCREMENT!

Wherein Willie Bunch displays his full-on witlessness with regard to the concept of limited government.
And now for our Anti-Obama Anthem: “We Shall Overcome”
Will Bunch is a Media Matters hack (no I haven’t read the thread yet and apologize if this has already been pointed out).
MSNBC had al sharpton on this morning. It was a spewing of hate speech and racism. No mention of the legitimate size of the crowds.
They are trying to cover only sharpton in order to morph the lincholn memorial rally as if it was sharptons pro-racism rally.
Willie Bunch = Journolist?!
