Funny. There were very few blacks in Dornan's district, so I doubt that their opinion of him was important. It was the rise of the Mexicans and Vietnamese that killed him.

By the way, what you described sounded rather like a movement in decay, with the leadership putting on a show and the followership, less than edified by the spectacle, drifting away.Just look at the photos at the top of the thread. Notice that they weren't even able to draw enough attendees to fill up the plaza directly in front of the steps. Then go back and look at the photos from the actual MLK speech from 1963, given on those same steps; there were so many people there that they extended all the way back to the other end of the Mall and beyond ... the photographers couldn't even capture them all in any one shot.
A lot of people at yesterday's rally may have gotten disillusioned and drifted away after only being able to take so much political BS, but the truth is that the people that believed in MLK's principles distanced themselves from this bunch in disgust years ago and wouldn't be caught dead at such a public gathering today.
One again, it's proven that Hate doesn't sell. Someday the RATS will learn this ... but not until after they learn to stop hating in the first place.

They can read the handwriting on the wall. Either gays or Arabs are going to be elevated to Oppressed Victim Class Numero Uno in the coming election, and blacks are gonna get screwed again...As long as blacks continue to so blindly support the Democratic Party that the RATS can take them for granted and ignore them, and they keep defecating on a GOP that has tried over and over to welcome them with open arms, they're going to get screwed at every election from now until the end of time.
What percentage of blacks are supporting Cruz "N*****!" Bustamante in California, just because he has a (D) after his name?
To: JulieRNR21
That may be why the lamestream media hasn't covered it....They didn't cover the Paul Wellstone memori-rally either, but New Media made sure they entire country knew about it, and it was the only thing we talked about for the entire final week leading up to the 2002 elections, where it played a major role in the GOP's nationwide annihilation of the RATS.
Word of this festival of hate will get out as well. The consequences won't be nearly as heavy, of course, since the only thing remarkable about yesterday's freak show was the intensity and quantity of their disgusting conduct. We all expected there to be at least some crap like this. We just didn't expect it to be almost ALL crap.
To: Blue Scourge
King would be rolling over in his grave....I honestly hope he didn't see this disgraceful display...Especially considering that his own son was part of it.
To: Destro
In fact they can speak out against me and my nation all they want. I will defend their right to do so with glee. But we can't speak out against them? You have confused people's comments with government prohibition. No one even said they had no right to speak!

Please, don't tap on the glass.

Doesn't his being there do just that?Unless he disavows them, yes. Dean is now a tacit supporter of Robert Mugabe.

To: nwrep
BTTT Thank you for an excellent report. I know it must have been difficult to sit through. Your questins at the end ...Why the almost enforced absence of US flags?... were good ones. The answer is that flags weren't prohibited, it's just the belief system of these people. Look at the wtich, lying on her back "protesting" racism. That's as much as she is willing do to prevent it. Typical LAZY, IGNORANT lefties. And the woman in a headscarf calling for OUR human rights...? Just as Savage says, Liberalism is a MENTAL ILLNESS!

This event raised a lot of questions in my mind: Why the almost enforced absence of US flags? Why no singing of the Star Spangled Banner? Why no mention of the greatness of America? Why no invitee from the right of the political spectrum? Why was this event not billed as a DNC rally, even though it appeared to be little more than that? Why the emphasis on "hip-hop", gay rights and Palestinian Liberation at a rally commemorating MLK's speech? What do these things have to do with civil rights, which, at this point in time, should be a non-issue?
Why does an Arab woman in a headscarf think she has the right to tell Americans that we have "a long way to go in our struggle for freedoms"? Why did the NAACP invite so many Arabs to speak at this rally? Why were there so many Palestinians at this rally? Why was someone from the more moderate civil rights groups (such as the Congress for Racial Equality) not invited to speak? And lastly, why the non-coverage by the media, with the notable exception of C-SPAN?
The simplest answer?
This was a communist gathering, disguised as a racial event.

To: Clemenza
Yea, you are right, it was not blacks who defeated Dornan but Hispanics. Still, Hispanics benefited from the civil riughts movement, and Dornan was very active in it. Also at the rally 40 years ago Tuesday was Charlton Heston. Neither of these gentlemen today are popular among the groups who pushed for the civil rights agenda that they both supported. That's what I meant to say. In other words, "no good deed goes unpunished."
To: Loyal Buckeye
I have no problem with MLK; Then perhaps you should go back and read some of his writings - if you can find them. I suspect that the family has buried most of them.

>Why was someone from the more moderate civil rights groups (such as the Congress for Racial Equality) not invited to speak?
Why was not a member of CORE invited to speak? This is what the media thinks of CORE's spokesman Niger Innis.
To: singsong
My earlier statement
As longs as they observe the constitution, let them be covers your "what if?" scenario
"All it takes for the bad guys to win, is good men to do nothing".
No more need be said on the matter.
