I'll try this again during "prime time":
Is anyone else thinking of showing up at the Lincoln Memorial on August 28th to "show the flag" for liberalism and sanity while Glen Beck and Sarah Palin rally Orange Pekoe Nation?

Beck and company have timed this so that he will be standing where Martin Luther King stood to deliver his "I Have A Dream" speech on 8/28/63. I think someone should be there with a few "Racism Sucks" signs to make it clear that Beck and Palin are unpatriotic and unAmerican.

DU?

1. Alas, I can only be there in spirit.
I hope you get a huge crowd of angry DU'ers to counter those idiots.

I consider what Beck will do a desecration of the spot that Martin Luther King stood upon.

4. Firearms would not be allowed, and MLK was strictly non-violent.
I would love to see their entire rally surrounded in a sea of DUers.

7. Black Panthers did not go along with MLK's approach to everything.
The Panters were into guns and sticking up for themselves with whatever it takes.

5. I would so go if i lived closer...
But alas I simply do not have the money to be able to spend to get there and back form S.E.Kansas...Plus my poor old car probably would not survive the road trip.

6. Can't be there, but if I could be
this is the sign I would carry:



And I'd bring a couple of spares to replace the ones ripped up by
angry teapeople.
