(CNN) – NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous, speaking at the "Reclaim the Dream" rally Saturday, castigated the message of the Glenn Beck rally across town in Washington.

"For a year and a half, we've been subjected to small hearts and small minds on our small screens," he said, referring to conservative ideas on media. Beck is a conservative talk show host, with a program on Fox News as well as several radio programs.

...Jealous said, "It's time to make sure our country - when they turn on the TV - sees itself reflected back.":

Ben’s just jealous

[notaliberal]

They are afraid!!!

[hinckley buzzard]

Ben Jealous. Perfect monicker for this envious race-obsessed loser. Too bad race baiting is not selling like it used to, eh Ben? Keep trying old boy, but be careful--your battery is getting low.

I suppose the NAALCP will be bringing attack dogs and firehoses???

My oh my, have the tables turned.

[biggredd1]

One report said that the Beck rally was a mostly white crowd. Was the Tawana Sharpton rally a mostly black crowd??

[Mr. Wright]

Terrified is more like it!!

[Anti-Bubba182]

Did you ever notice how old the participants at NAACP events appear?

[EggsAckley]

What a sting that slap in the face must have carried when ML King’s brilliant neice chose to stand with Beck today, instead of the pointless and obsolete NAACP.

Looks like Ben is..... jealous.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! (cue CSI Miami theme)

[counterpunch]

Big hearts and big minds know that the people need the loving caress of the government’s boot on their throats.

[lysie]

Benny baby you have a whole network called BET.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Hey, there’s “diversity” there

You got Ben Jealous, black and white and red all over
You got a bearded with granny glasses guy
An old over the hill, multi married/divorcee skinny guy
A genuine tea-bagger
A mental institution escapee
And and an ordinary regular American JournOlist

What more could you want?

[LachlanMinnesota]

There are never any specific things that are said that are identified as worthy of criticism. I watched the whole thing. They attacked now one. They encouraged a return to American values and unity, while acknowledging past wrongs and the need to always do better.

Only the intellectually weak would make blanket condemnations of this. In short, you would have seen a reflection of America if you watched this.

The NAACP president should stop being so mean-spirited.

Beck says honesty, respect come together,
NAACP and the rest of their rally was angry, bitter, heard booing towards the mayor and did attacks towards a section of the country,

The left have and it seems sadly are just full of hate and rage along with their intolerant bigotry.

[VanDeKoik]

Did this clown even watch any of it on TV?

Oh, that’s right, he spent his day waving around MLK like a sock puppet prop for show, instead of actually living his message.

[Joe Boucher]

Very good point Anti-Bubba182,
I hadn’ considered age when being disgusted by the hacks at the naacp but you are right, not a lot of young thugs and hip hopsters in the naacp.
MOstly union thug types and old pass the hat and give me something type negros.

[manc]

so true, Beck had MLK’s family member
The NAACP and race pimp had nothing but attacks and anger.

What a sting that slap in the face must have carried when ML King’s brilliant neice chose to stand with Beck today

It seems our media thinks if they don't report it, it didn't happen.
