[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81OBztDww30]YouTube - Glenn Beck Talks With Dr. Elveda King - August 26, 2010[/ame]


Interesting to see this considering some of the comments coming out of people who dont seem to support Becks rally due to its date and location.

Plym,, darling she spells her name Alveda.

I don't think that producing a member of the family is of any significance.

 

[Luissa]

I called this one.

i have cousins i wouldn't trust to feed my pet bunny rabbit... much less define my father.

 

[Luissa]

She is most likely a conservative anyways, she is pro life and against same sex marriage. Gotta love this "true" civil rights movement.

 

[WillowTree]

DemonRats should refrain from talking snottily about a black Republican. It makes you sound so well,,, snotty and racist.

I am sorry I don't agree with someone who is against same sex marriage, so therefore she doesn't represent a "civil rights movement" to me. And anyone who speaks with Beck, isn't representing their uncle very well.

I don't know much about her. I know her father died in somewhat mysterious circumstances and was part of the CRM. I know that she was part of the movement at the time but other than that, I know nothing. However, I dislike the inference that, because she is there that somehow makes it ok to claim that MLK would support it. Having said that, having read many, many books on MLK along with almost everything he wrote and said... I suspect he would. What gets lost among the 'race issues' these days are the words of MLK about judging people on the content of their character. The 'black leaders' (and I dislike the term - unless they were somehow nominated and voted for by 'blacks') have no more right to claim MLK than anyone else.

I'm sorry for you, you closed minded little twitness.

There's a certain irony to Beck and others invoking King's name, especially considering he was a Socialist or at least would be considered one by today's standards.

Is she a Republican?

Since you have a fucked up family you assume everyone does. And you're an attorney? pfft!

Clearly, you know jack shit about MLK, because he certainly would not be a 'socialist' today.

A member of the King family is involved with the Restoring Honor rally. Big deal. Why should she not be? She has every right to be there. However, that doesn't give the rally the 'seal of approval' by MLK.... any more than the other rally being planned would be more legitimate if a member of the King family were to attend that.

It's not a fucking competition about who can get the 'King' name. MLK was an individual and no one has the right to claim him.

That is hilarious coming from you.


Here is what King's son has to say on the subject.

My father championed free speech. He would be the first to say that those participating in Beck's rally have the right to express their views. But his dream rejected hateful rhetoric and all forms of bigotry or discrimination, whether directed at race, faith, nationality, sexual orientation or political beliefs. He envisioned a world where all people would recognize one another as sisters and brothers in the human family. Throughout his life he advocated compassion for the poor, nonviolence, respect for the dignity of all people and peace for humanity.

So, I am sorry I don't support someone like Beck.

You claim to be well read about MLK and you conclude that he probably would support this rally. Then why shouldn't Alveda, who probably knows more about MLK than you, draw the same conclusion?

I think his son, probably speaks better for MLK than his niece does.

I do love it when people call you close minded because you don't agree with people who spread hate and are close minded themselves. It is kind of like Pole Rider calling me a bigot, because I didn't like him calling gay people disgusting.
If not liking hateful people makes me close minded, then so be it. I guess I am closed minded.

Im so tired of people who spread hate pretending its the other guys doing it and that they are somehow not.

What hate is it you accuse Glen Beck of spreading. Lay out your case.
