On August 28th, 2010, the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech, Glenn Beck will be holding a rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.
As described on his website (glennbeck.com/828):
"Come join Glenn, Sarah Palin, Jo Dee Messina and Marcus Luttrell at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. on August 28, 2010 for the Restoring Honor Rally. This non-political, non-partisan event will recognize our First Amendment rights and honor the service members who fight to protect those freedoms."
Now, I know you don't have to be a god damn revolutionary to see through the massive amounts of bullshit spewed by these people, but COME ON.
How much longer will these racist, fear-mongering, manipulative LIARS be allowed to continue preaching to the oh-so-impressionable minds of America? How much longer will they go unchallenged?
For the past 5 years or so, these Neo-Con spokesmen have been forcing themselves into the public eye, spreading their dangerously ignorant, even detrimental opinions to anyone within earshot. And guess what! PEOPLE ARE LISTENING.
It's time to draw the line. No longer will these media personalities be able to sway the minds of Americans. No longer will they be allowed to disguise their lack of compassion and intellect as moral and just.
These folk are making a mockery of Martin Luther King Jr. - of progressives EVERYWHERE - with this rally. Almost 50 years ago, MLK stood with hundreds of thousands of supporters at this monument and brought the nation's attention to the injustices of segregation and inequality. It was a time of progressive solidarity - the Students for a Democratic Society were taking action, the Black Panthers were marching, and activism was in style. The world was beginning to take up arms and fight against the status quo, against imperialism and Western dominance. The word was spreading: "You have no right to control us!" ......
And from this, we have Glenn Beck? Sarah Palin? Tea Parties? Some of you may say that these people shouldn't even be considered threats or adversaries. Do I need to remind you how god damn close Sarah Palin was to becoming VICE PRESIDENT? Or how many Congressional positions have been filled by Tea Party supporters?
What has happened to the fervor? To the passion? We are revolutionaries, people! It's time to cut the bullshit and stand up against these wannabe oppressors. It's time to tell Fox News and the rest of the reactionary-right that they can't fuck with the minds of America anymore. It's time to tell the world that the revolutionary spirit will never die!
If you want to make your voice heard and bring an end to their influence, go to this rally. Scream at the top of your lungs, form a black bloc, wave banners, organize a march... do whatever you want! No matter what creed you follow or what methods you employ, all I ask is that you do something. We must fight in solidarity. Look past whatever differences you have with your allies and realize who it is you need to be fighting against.
Go to the rally and cause a fucking scene. Bring the New-Right to its knees.
