Glen Beck, Fox's counterpart to MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, has the first amendment right to gather folks on the day and sight of Martin Luther King's glorious "I Have a Dream Speech," but...the hell he should Not!
Respect. Hello where is the respect?

The funny thing is...the Left while telling 70% of Americans they are bigots and racists and nasty unwashed people for not wanting Islamoland anywhere near the epicenter of a massive slaughter committed by lunatics in the name is Islam...the Left (in this instance NYTime's Windbag Bob Herbert) has this to say about Beck:
------------------------
"Beck is a provocateur who likes to play with matches in the tinderbox of racial and ethnic confrontation. "
-----------------------

Well, true Bob. Co-opting the site and date of MLK's foremost speech on civil rights was incendiary. But can anyone tell me that the foul mouth of the Left Media-- in calling anyone who opposes Vast Government Expansion and massive unchecked expansion of Medicaid (the most broken system on the planet) and the triumphant placement of a MEGA-mosque at the site where radical Islamists TWICE attacked what they found to be the heart of evil in the Twin Towers, racist and bigots and un-American--can anyone say the Bob Herbert and the Obama crowd are any less incendiary?
No they cannot.

Herbert, who btw likened the female Gov. of Alaska to a murder and rapist, and now now calls Beck execrable, is himself the most execrable of creatures. Both Beck and Herbert are doing just fine playing with their miserable matches of ignition. BUT...Beck and Herbert are just Media Clowns.
Mr. Obama--our POTUS-- has come out and put the full force of his station behind the idea that it is "essential" to build a Mega Mosque on the cemetery of our slaughtered citizens. Mr. Obama has made it clear he thought long and hard about this stance and he has not denounced his cult Obots for calling those who disagree bigots.
(And folks make no mistake, the site of Mega Mosque was littered not only with landing gear of the crashed planes that day... but legs and arms and pulverized genitals and organs of our fallen!)

Mr. Obama sees himself above the role of mere president of the United States. Mr. Obama sees himself as President of the World and his worry is less about American solvency than his particular abstractions of a perfect world order.

The Tea Partiers can be fully excused for understanding that America needs a president who does not fancy himself Above the "mere" role of national interests. The Tea Partiers understand than an insolvent America will spell disaster for the world, both ours and far beyond our borders.
The Tea Party folks would have marched on any other day and most would likely have preferred any other day! So shame on Glen Beck for being JUST like Bob Herbert and the other incendiary windbags in media and the White House. Name calling is SO NOT helpful.

The Tea Party folks are men and women of all political stripes who have a message of responsibility, much like MLK's message of responsibility. However!!!!!: Co-opting MLK's day is taboo, even for such a fine message. Respect is due and really so easy to give.
