Promoting his August 28 rally, Beck says "blacks don't own Martin Luther King"

They certainly are more closely tied to him than you, you freakin' idiot.

"blacks don't own Martin Luther King"
No, only WHITE people can own humans as property, eh Glenn?

Christians don't own Jesus.

why is it I am hearing David Koresh ? Is beck so full of it, he thinks he is some kind of saviour of mankind ? I got a better idea. Get together with your families anfd friends and have a good old fashion american BBQ in the backyard before kids have to go back to school. Heck with this idiot. Heck with Beck.

He is systematically trying to destroy the political opposition (democrats or those with any intelligence) by painting them as communists or fascists and blaming them for various and sundry historical atrocities. But, he has realized that he can't demonize the civil rights movement in the same way so he is taking it and claiming it for the republicans. Rove must be pulling the strings here.

"...Historic, historic..." More likely: hysteric,hysteric
"...whites don't own the Founding Fathers..." No, they owned slaves..
Why the "g" dropping in the last air-blast? Panderin'?

Beck calling this event "historic" before it's even happened is like all those toys, magazines etc that are labeled as "collectibles" right out of the factory.

And the Teabaggers swear a solemn oath to reclaim the legacy of Martin Luther King from those uppity black people who stole it decades ago.

What color were the people manning the fire hoses Becky? Bull Connor was what color? I'm sure some people would pretend that these events did not occur but they did! To be fair though there were many White people in the trenches alongside of Martin Luther King in those days. More Whites need to call you out Becky! You are a pariah! This stunt at the Lincoln Memorial is not good. I don't see any good coming from it. It's more like a powderkeg! It could be your undoing!

No, Blacks don't own Martin Luther King, but they shouldn't sit still for a bunch of older White Americans, who probably opposed him when he was alive, now wish to wrap themselves and their agenda to undo his legacy in his mantle. I find this perversion of Dr. King's image and goal to be patently offensive and I will be there to document just what goes on.

Beck sounds more and more unhinged by the day.

If there's ANYONE in the mainstream media that is the opposite of Dr King today... it's Michael Savage. ;) But Beck is a runner-up at least. I can't EVER imagine Beck actually caring about what Dr King said - not just about racism, but about war. Beck loves war 9as does his followers). He loathes everything Dr King stood for. The idea that Beck is somehow in any way doing what Dr King did is not only idiotic, it's offensive (and I'm not easily offended).

But, he'll make money off of it. So I guess he really doesn't care.

Yeah, Beck isn't going to ask anyone to violate the Sabbath.

The Christian observance of the Sabbath, that is. He's just fine with violating the Jewish observance of it.

Granted, I doubt this will be an inconvenience to his intended audience, friends of Israel though they may be.

People who actually know and agree with his sociopolitical views, and wouldn't have accused him of being a communist and menace to our white women don't own Martin Luther King

Fixed.

Glenn.YOU lie as usual..who has said that they don't judge someone by their character?? How do you make such a claim?
In any event I am judging you on your character and I say ..YOU HAVE NONE!!!YOU know Martin Luther King would not agree with your anti-social justice,anti-civil rights rhetoric.You would be calling Dr King a marxist everyday based on what you espouse to your listeners!!!You recently said public schools should be eliminated..would Dr King agree with that!?
The founding fathers supported slavery and obviously would have been aghast that women can now vote and also hold important,elected offices!What would they say about having a Black President...the same that YOU say everyday..here in the land of the free!?

OMG-WTF

Glenn just give it up, stop trying to play that you are not a racist when most of you learners and views are bigots. Glenn saying that you are not a racist is a big lie since you yourself said, "I have no black friends, because I well offend them."

One day in the future, I plan to speak to a group of citizens at the Glenn Beck Monument to be located on the grounds of Bellevue Mental Hospital in New York City.

Remember, the mentally unstable do not own Glenn Beck.

Historic. Historic.

Did they ever claim to?

I'm so digusted. He truly is a pre 1978 Mormon (thats the year they finally got a "revelation" that Black people could be ordained). He just doesn't get it and I cannot wait til this blows up in his face. I am continually shocked at his depths of stupidity and arrogance. Take your blood money and retire, please. I mean what ARE you? You're not an historian. You're not a "politician," You're not an "entertainer." You're a hate monger and the Wh of Babylon. So collect your pennies and quit embarrassing America.

I find it completely believable that he didn't know that 8/28 was an anniversary of Reverend King's "I Have a Dream" speech.

There is so much he doesn't know, and what he claims to know is usually wrong, and "simply" (in every sense of the word) wrong.

Who has said "character doesn't matter", as in "too often, we have been told that character doesn't matter...." Really, somebody stood up and said, "I say to you here and now, my fellow Americans, character doesn't matter! God bless you all, my fellow lowlifes, and God bless the United States of America!"?

Pretty stupid to claim that we have had that said to us "too often", Glenn.

We'd better pray that the 8/28 rally isn't a "turning point in American history", as Glenn claims. If it is, it can only be the beginning of the decline and fall of the United States.

Beck says "blacks don't own Martin Luther King"

You got that, all you black whiners and complainers...???

BTW, did I just hear you call black people "lazy"? ;>)

Beck wants to socialize the memory of MLK by spreading the ideas around equally - he is a socialist!!!!

Right. Only insane wingnuts (the kinds who use to scream "commie" at MLK) really own his legacy.

Wait. Wait. Wait. I thought the Tea Partiers were NOT supposed to be just a bunch of white people. Now Beck is basically admitting that they are.

So does Beck not want people going to church on Sundays now? Because he said that he's not asking people to honor God on a Sunday.

Didn't know 8/28 was the day of Dr. King's speech, may be the last large gathering at the Lincoln Memorial, Historic. Historic. Talk about distorting Dr. King's ideas.

All I can say is: Bu11sh1t. Bu11sh1t.

A guy who has no Black friends and specifically points this out judges people by the content of their character? A guy who accuses the president of being a racist doesn't judge people by the color of their skin? Just once I want a conservative to tell me what else Dr. King talked about in his sermon besides that one quote they take out of context. How much of the rest of the speech do they agree with?
