Thread Name: BS: King/Sharpton v. Beck/Palin Saturday!!!
Subject: BS: King/Sharpton v. Beck/Palin Saturday!!!
Saturday is gonna be one of those special days in Washington, D.C. with Glen Beck and Sarah Palin leadin' Redneck Nation in their "Restore Honor" at the Lincoln Memorial and Rev. Al Sharpton and the memories of Martin Luther King marching almost 5 miles from Dunbar High School way out in NE Washington D.C. off New York Ave all the way down to the future site of the King Memorial half way between the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials just east of the Tidal Basin...

I was so hopin' to attend the 5 mile march but between a very bad left foot and the P-Vine have decided not to go but...

... I'll be there in spirit...

Now for the combatants... One side has multi billion dollar media corpoartion and multi million dollar lobbiest firm behind and the other, ahhhhhh, not much... One side says it didn't know that August 28th is the anniversary of Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech at the very spot that they are are going to have their mutil-billion-dollar-backed-ralley and the other side says, "Well, you shoulda known" and...

...one side is going to have just white participants with a history of bullying people and the other, like Selma, marching in defience...

Yeah, I'll be there in spirit but wonderin' exactly what does...

..."restore honor" actaully mean??? Slavery??? Segregated schools???

I mean, I fully understand what Rev. Sharpton is marching for but am really clueless as to what the loudmouth, borish people want...

(They want their country back, Boberdz...)

Geeze, black people have been here longer than most of them and their ancestors so exactly which country do they want back??? Germany??? Poland??? Ireland??? The Chexc Republic??? Well, all they gotta do is get on the danged airplane to have "their country" back...

End of rant!!!
