What is the significance of Aug. 28?
It's the anniversary of the 'I have a dream' speech.
So the black racists are getting all ansty about Beck hijacking 'their' guy's speech.... despite the fact that MLK would despise the way they have hijacked his 'dream' and made it into a nightmare.
And, I am struggling to work out why this is in the politics forum. Ohhh, wait, it's cuz the OP is too stupid to know the difference between a politician and a political commentator.
Libs can't see their own hypocrisy.
If MLK's dream truly happened, then it wouldn't be "their" day. There wouldn't be a "we" or "them" or "their", just "our", as all Americans without regard to race.
Sadly, its the left that is perverting MLK's message. MLK's dream included white people having the same rights also. I think King would be proud to see someone like Beck honoring him and honoring imporant African Americans in our past. Beck has taught me more about the massive contributions African Americans have made to the US than any public school I ever attended. Yet, somehow he's racist?
Flip the spin of the OP and you have a right wing against the rights of a group based on their religion who wish to build on their own property while the rightwing is supportive of beck's rights to freedom of speech and his choice to use a day he knew would cause controversy and upset people.
Do you see the hypocrisy in that or does the right have the same problem that you assign only to the left??
This "hypocrisy" goes both ways. You can't HONESTLY whine that the cordoba group needs to be sensitive of the feelings of the families of the victims of 9/11 as you refuse to be sensitive to the feelings of those who are against beck using that specific day.
Both beck and cordoba have a right to do what they are doing but to be supportive of one and against the other makes you a hypocrite no matter which side you are on.
