Sarah Palin at Glenn Beck's Rally: 'Dr. King Would Be So Proud'

...

Bradley: How do you think Dr. King would feel about this rally?

Palin: I hope that Dr. King would be so proud of us, as his niece Dr. Alveda King is very proud as a participant in this rally. This is sacred ground where we feel his spirit and can appreciate all of his efforts. He who so believed in equality and may we live up to his challenge.

1. Well only equality for Christian folk who hate Black Presidents

.....gays not included, non-religious not included, Mexican babies not included, peaceful Muslims not included....

[Chipper Chat]

2. Sarah the Hypocrit:

"He who so believed in equality may we live up to his challenge" :rofl:
Sarah, look over here -I am a gay man - what? I'm not included in your statement? Then just fuck you.

[Hansel]

18. Equal rights for ALL Whites, especially those who insight violence against the 1st Black president.

I'm pretty sure that was exactly what MLK was about.

[livetohike]

3. Where does that pattern of speech come from? I've never

heard anyone speak like that "He who so believed..."? She's a klutz.

[Hansel]

19. From religious fanatics.

They are mixing bible speak with...God who knows what.

[bigdarryl]

4. BITCH PLEASE!!!!!

[butterfly77]

7. +1

[Fire1]

13. [phone]! n/t

[Joanne98]

5. The C word comes to mind!

[nmbluesky]

6. She's Idoit!!!! NT

[Moostache]

8. I am sick to death of the phrase "sacred ground"...

ITS FUCKING DIRT OR CONCRETE OR SAND!!!!

Ground Zero is "sacred"...
Gettysburg is "sacred"...
The steps of the Lincoln Memorial are "sacred"...
Jerusalem is "sacred"...

NO, NO, NO, a thousand times NO!

There is absolutely nothing sacred about a place, any place. It is the memories or the emotions which are assigned to the collective consciousness that give a physical location meaning. Beck was simply attempting to steal legitimacy for his delusions by hosting an event is a historically significant location. I am certain that he chose the monument because there was no way he could get his followers to march on Selma...

This constant demagoguing from religious nut bags has been a bane of human existence for too long.

Your freedom of religion is just fine with me as long as you extend that to everyone else, but Beck and his fundie followers are nothing more than bigots and hypocrites. They give no respect to freedom of religion for others and in my mind are the scum of the earth, but enough already with this insanity of "sacred ground".

[RagAss]

9. The only sacred ground is the ground under my feet !

[rjones2818]

12. They're preparing us for the day...

in the not so distant future where we have to go barefoot because we can't afford shoes (if any were actually being made that anyone could afford).

[KingFlorez]

10. Please, she would have shot Dr. King herself if she could have

[impik]

11. I literally feel sick

[and-justice-for-all]

14. What the fuck ever!!! nt

[AsahinaKimi]

15. The tea party not only

This is sacred ground where we feel his spirit and can appreciate all of his efforts.

tried to hijack Dr. King's dream but they tried to hijack his spirit as well. FAIL.

[bluethruandthru]

16. I wonder if Dr. King would be proud of the way Sarah and

her fellow teabaggers have done everything in their power to stir up hatred and fear against a black president?

[Lilyeye]

17. I feel sick to my stomach that this bitch and asshole are using MLK's memory for this disgusting

rally. How dare they even utter his name considering both are race baiting pieces of shit who couldn't give a fuck about anybody who isn't straight, white or christian. I normally just SMH at these two morons, but I am actually pissed off by this.

[firedupdem]

26. +10000

Same bitch who just defended an "N" word rant is now talking about Dr. King? I hate these people.

[Arkana]

20. No, Sarah. Dr. King is puking in his grave.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

21. Hear that distant whirring sound?

That's MLK spinning in his grave. Half-Governor Palin believes in equality only for straight white Christians.

[Bluenorthwest]

22. Here's a quote from Alveda King

"We don’t want genocide. We don’t want to destroy the sacred institution of marriage, Marriage is a union between a man and a woman.... Marriage between a man and a woman remains the guard against human extinction.”

[activa8tr]

29. She's almost as stupid as Palin, I would say. n / t

[golfguru]

32. K&R n/t

[Cha]

23. The fuck does that ignorant

asshole know.

[discopants]

24. Anyone know if Palin was PAID to speak there today?

[jefferson_dem]

25. I read she typically charges $100,000 as a speaking fee.

I assume that was the case today.

[discopants]

28. Dr. King Would Be So Proud.

[Diamonique]

27. This is SO barf-worthy!

How the fuck would she know how Dr. King would feel about this rally?

He'd be proud of a bunch of bigots and haters? I don't think so!

[Number23]

30. We'll just add Mz. Sarah to the loooooong list of folks who jump to invoke Dr. King

and have no fucking clue what the man was about.

[Empowerer]

34. And would have been the first in line to trash the man were they alive and running their mouths in

the 1960s.

Contrary to their whitewash of Dr. King's "dream," Dr. King stood for everything they hated. And their vaunted idealogical and political forefathers vilified and spit on him - literally and figuratively- every chance they had back in the day.

[Metric System]

31. And yesterday she spoke to an anti-gay group. So much for equality.

[peekaloo]

33. Why wasn't Clayton Digsby invited to speak?

;-)

[BeyondGeography]

35. Being ignorant is a license to say anything

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

36. He wouldn't have been allowed to speak....but he would have been proud(nt)

[Brewman_Jax]

37. Smell the hypocrisy

They have the gall to invoke the words of a man that they don't agree with.

I'm pretty sure Dr. King would not be a participant, nor even invited--and definitely not proud of the "oppressed" freepers that hate the fact of a black president.

[theothersnippywshrub]

38. Here is what Dr. King had to say about Republicans and civil rights.

"I had no alternative but to urge every Negro and white person of goodwill to vote against Mr. Goldwater and to withdraw support from any Republican candidate that did not publicly disassociate himself from Senator Goldwater and his philosophy."
