No.

They get not one iota of respect from me.

They are nothing but a bunch of racist, partisan, biased hacks that function as an arm of the democrat party.

Wrong, period. You've chugged every last ounce of haterade. Beck's statement that he's going to "take back the civil rights movement" is a crock of pure unadulterated BS. He has no clue about the civil rights movement or those who fought and died for the same rights white America took for granted. Try getting the crap beat out of you for registering to vote. Try being forced to sit in the back of the bus because your skin is a different color, or told you have to enter an establishment by the back door for the same reason. Try living with the bogus separate but equal policies that this country legislated and supported to it's shame. Your assessment of the NAACP reeks of the right wing BS you and your ilk have swallowed for years. Clarence Thomas? Another load of bovine excrement. Thomas sexually harrassed Anita Hill, then Congress victimized her again with their smarmy so-called "investigation. So, please spare me your righteous indignation.

Doesn't make the speech any less valid. Why don't you actually listen to it, instead of giving a snarky reply. You may just learn something.

Hey....those are the "scars" that Beck today said we need to stop focusing on. He wants to shift focus to the "good" that America has done. I don't think "scar" is the right metaphor. I would say tumors....and they should not be ignored lest they metasticize.

Good analogy. America has improved, but still has a way to go.

I learned more from it when I heard it before his kids charged money for it.

I never said it's not valid. That's an assumption YOU make.

Dr. King would be called an Uncle Tom today. Liberals are not satisfied with judging people by the content of their character instead of the color of their skin. According to them, being 'Color Blind' is now considered racist.

Snarky reply #2, you're 0 for 2. But you did make me laugh.
