The August 28 Beck/Palin/NRA rally REALLY angers me!!!

[Earth_First]

This is HARDLY by accident that they plan this event to be held on the same steps on the same day that MLK stood in 1963 and gave his call for a nation to unite through racial equality and end discrimination.

It is utterly DISGUSTING that by their 'coincidence' they happen to have chosen this day to tout their call for ramping up their own brand of discrimination through patriotism and nationalist xenophobia towards immigration reform.

This is nothing but a staged HATEFEST on the very steps where a call for peace and quality were made by MLK where they plan to attempt to unleash their own brand of 'equality'.

I sincerely hope that people are waking up to this and that the two of these Klan members are not taken as seriously as they believe they are...

1. Freedom of speech and assembly can be challenging sometimes

My unsolicited advice is not to let it get to you.

2. Unfortunately, you are correct....

Just as the folks over at Westboro have their freedom of speech and assembly.

However, the tact and complete lack of respect that is exemplified by selecting this particular day...

I honestly would not have given this a passing thought if it had been any other day.

3. Can we call it fascism yet?

Or do we have to wait 'till they get those snazzy uniforms?

4. You me Beck and Palin don't usually really anger you?

Hey, they're throw feces on any site, sacred or otherwise.

5. The best thing we can do is counterprotest

What if the counter protesters outnumbered the teabaggers?

6. You want to hear something else disgusting?

They're appearing together here in Anchorage on 9/11, and the rumor is that Beck is going to announce her candidacy on that day.


Here's hoping it's just a rumor.

In layman's terms: GET THE FUCK OUT!
