CNN finds the one African American at rally who likes Beck
Edited on Sat Aug-28-10 04:00 PM by JamesA1102
One of the most frequent criticisms of today’s “Restoring Honor” event is that, on the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, gathering thousands of Americans to listen to Glenn Beck is disrespectful to the Civil Rights Movement. Not all African-Americans are offended, however, and CNN found one attendee, Lloyd Marcus, who actually believes Beck’s views are closer to Dr. King’s than many modern black civil rights leaders.

2. 2nd memo to Lloyd Marcus: Look around you
There's a good reason there are no other African Americans there.

6. Let's hope so
Remember the African American guy in St Louis last year who claimed he was assaulted by SEIU outside of a town hall forum? He was a vendor. Not a protester. But the wingnuts rallied around him big time.

7. I love how they worded it
"One", and not "the only one".
