He would have been proud of his niece. She is an heir of his legacy and certainly has his extraordinary gift for prophetic rhetoric which can rouse the heart of a Nation.

"The address given by Dr. Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, secured this heroic and inspiring woman's place in American history. This is the 47th anniversary of her uncle, the late, great Christian minister and human rights hero, Dr Martin Luther Kings' famous "I Have a Dream" Speech. He would have been proud of his niece. She is an heir of his legacy and certainly has his extraordinary gift for prophetic rhetoric which can rouse the heart of a Nation.+

Wait a minute. MLK’s niece spoke at the Beck rally? I just listened to NPR and heard nothing about that.

Yes, I know, it’s NPR.

I watched pretty much all of the “Rally to Restore Honor” and was so very impressed with all of the speakers..I remember thinking when MLK’s niece came up to speak what a sweet spirit she has..I was so proud of everyone today they did not say one harsh thing about anyone,so that showed me love..and I was so content to watch..

Now the other rally with Sharpton and group was a hate rally all the way through..I wish they could actually see themselves the way other people saw them today..Not trying to do anything, but make more hate toward one another..Al Sharpton, if you and your ilk are reading you need listen up.change your attitude..( I guess that doesn't keep you in money though does it,very sad)Anyway when I was listening for a thirty minutes I had to turn it off it made my stomach ache to see what they were doing to the little minds of these black children,teaching them hate..

The Million Man March had well over that 500K number. It too, was about restoring honor. What happened?

It looked like an absolute success.

What an awesome event.

Way to go Glenn.

I saw the tight shots of the big Sharpton rally. Must have been all of 1,000 with their printed signs.

The AP in the first paragraph can’t miss the chance to say it was a “predominantly white crowd”.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Conservative commentator Glenn Beck and tea party champion Sarah Palin appealed Saturday to a vast, predominantly white crowd on the National Mall to help restore traditional American values and honor Martin Luther King’s message. Civil rights leaders who accused the group of hijacking King’s legacy held their own rally and march.

The interesting thing about this rally is that it may be the thing that drives Obozo around the clown bend and into the pure anger of the narcissist. It was a manifestation of the disgust many Americans feel for the clueless elites currently screwing up our world and as such it's time had come. But it also was an OUTRIGHT indictment of Obama as not honorable, not Patriotic.

Stay tuned. The Empire WILL strike back.

Just finished watching the local DC coverage of the Honor rally. They gave the Sharpton tantrum more coverage and interviewed the person that attended it and they didn’t interview one person from the Honor event.
All five local stations gave us about 20-30 seconds of mention, each. None mentioned the sizes of the rallies, just that ours was bigger. They kept referring to it as a “tea party” event, which was just patently false.

These people are just glorified weather and traffic announcers.
