On 8/28...

I don't know much about it, other than what I heard on the radio from Beck himself, but it seemed more a rally... a call to arms, as in... rather than a protest. They seem to want to find "God" in America again... with no denominational requirements. Prayer, faith, understanding and compassion that isn't mandated or required by Federal regulations.

I thought it particularly interesting that, while Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were "officially" protesting Beck's rally at the Lincoln Memorial because he was trying to "steal" the dream from King's message and make it political, King's own niece, Dr. Alveda King, was speaking at Beck's rally to say that MLK would stand there, again, with Beck... rather than with Jackson and Sharpton, who have forgotten his message of looking at the "content of character" rather than the color of one's skin.

I'm sorry, but that has GOT to hurt...
