On August 28th, radio talk show host Glenn Beck will hold his “Restoring Honor” rally at the Lincoln Memorial, exactly 47 years after Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his iconic “I Have A Dream Speech.” Beck claims that the goal of the event is to restore America’s honor and to pay tribute to military families. He also plans to announce his 100 year plan for America. Beck will be joined onstage as a featured speaker by fellow loon Sarah Palin. It’s expected that over 300,000 fellow Tea Party, Obama-hating people will attend Beck’s KookStock. I’m a strong advocate of the First Amendment, so I think it’s totally appropriate that Beck hold his rally on the anniversary of Dr. King’s speech, even though I think he’s a hate-mongering nut and many civil rights advocates are objecting to it. So bring your pitchforks, Federalist Papers, gold coins and survival meals that you bought from Beck’s sponsors, Confederate Flags, and kleenex (to cry along with Beck during his speech). And just remember that we’ve got to get ourselves back to the gun shop, as Joni Mitchell and Crosby, Stills, and Nash wouldn’t say. Is Beck a visionary or a moron? What do you think about the event?
