WASHINGTONThousands of conservative activists arrived in the nation's capitol for a series of rallies and political events, the main draw of which is a controversial Saturday rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
The event, dubbed Restoring Honor, is hosted by Fox News Channel personality Glenn Beck.
Billed as apolitical and held on the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, the event is expected to draw tens of thousands of people for speeches by Mr. Beck, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and other prominent conservatives.
The Beck rally organizers say the event is a fund-raiser for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, a Tampa, Fla.,-based group that gives scholarship grants to the children of special-operations soldiers killed in battle.
The group, which took in $5.7 million in contributions last year, also is paying for the event, which is expected to cost at least $2 million. The foundation's website says it is currently providing educational grants to more than 800 children.

Right on queue the race baiters pop up their head$ for funding their ca$h cow$.
I wonder what is so “controversial” about restoring honor? Every MSM mention of this rally is sticking to the usual lies.
On a radio news update this afternoon, they let that boob Sharpton spout some insane nonsense about Beck. Al was in his usual race baiter form, whipping up the stupid, so he can have some more “walkin’ around money”.
We know MLK would frown upon the likes of Sharpton and join Glenn and Alveda King in prayerful discussions at the Lincoln Memorial.
Glenn’s radio crew said on his show this morning that C-SPAN will be carrying the rally. No details were given.
Thank you for the link. Once I’m there, how do I link to any streaming? Yeah, I’m sorta untalented that way.... Would appreciate any guidance.
Thanks again
“Thousands of conservative activists ... “
Just that line alone oughta wake those Marxists up. That isn’t a sentence that we have seen too often, sadly.
LADIES, don’t forget the waterpoof mascara.
It that Race Hustling Poverty Pimp Al Sharpton were administered an enema, all that would remain could easily be stored in a thimble....with room to spare.
Remains to be seen, the Barrack Panthers disruption tactics! I believe they’ll start pushing and shoving to get a reaction that prompts the police to “break it up” and end the event to “protect the citizens,” of course, what else?
What the heck are they going to do with the other hundreds of thousands who show up?
Can the police shut down the city restricting buses entering?
Good luck and God speed.
Thank you for letting me know.
You are welcome, Excellence.
I can’t wait to see this.
Something tells me it’s going to be amazing.
