Because it's so ridiculous on it's face and the way you came up with it is...strange....to say the least.

Squirming...no. Amazed...yes.

Well. since you were so quick to agree with the phrase, why don't you explain what you meant? Obviously you feel that Beck 'used' MLK. How did he do that?

And given the openly political messages brought forth at the Sharpton rally,, did he also 'use' MLK?

But, but, but, Al and his cronies are black, they get a free pass to use MLK.

I meant that I thought it very dis-honorable to "use" MLK "against" the "leftists". The poster who wrote that can explain how Beck did that.

Sharpton probably did use MLK; I don't know; I'm no fan of his and I didn't watch his rally or read anything about it.

Well that's a non-answer. So, again...how did Beck use MLK? What exactly was 'dis-honorable' about his message? Surely you have a reason, and didn't simply parrot a phrase from another poster without understanding HIS meaning...

Actually, I believe this nation IS large enough to accomodate all kinds of people, even those who think their religion is an acceptable excuse for their bigotry. I agree with a little of what Beck has to say. I also believe he's merely an entertainer, not to be taken seriously.

A dangerous faker who deliberately manipulates his audience by appealing to their basest instincts. As a man who only embraces conservatism and the tea party movement as a means to furthering his significant personal wealth and career as a successful TV goon.

Why not just build the damned mosque in one of our many fema camps?

I know PLENTY of religious people with no morals as well as people who don't believe that truly ARE moral. I do not believe this country has ever LOST it's honor. Sure, there have been dishonorable leaders and power-hungry charmers like Beck, Palin etc. come & go. But this still is a great nation, even if not enough of us always think clearly...
