Palin told the crowds, who had been asked not to bring signs to the rally, that the spirit of King could be felt. She said that the way to honour King's legacy is to honour those men and women in the military who protect the United States.

King was opposed to militarism . Of course I wouldn't expect Palin to know that.

Apparently Beck is not tolerant enough to support the building of a Mosque in New York, but has no problem with encouraging a rally of those who would have opposed most of what King stood for.

This is kinda sickening to say the least. The guy is evil incarnate. Perverting and twisting people into believing they are acting in good faith for freedom and civil rights.

Quite right and I agree with Ton: Beck's primary concern (and perhaps his only concern) is saying whatever it takes to keep the money rolling in. The topic of his diatribe and rhetoric is irrelevant and resulting in what mentalfloss is saying.

All right, so it's about time we got this one started..

Martin Luther King's: "I Have A Dream" speech was one that pushed the civil rights movement, calling for racial equality and an end to discrimination.

Sarah Palin's speech here didn't seem to have anything to do with equality, really - whether it was relgious, racial, regarding sexual-orientation, or otherwise.. Hers was more about nationalism, being blessed by God (I'm assuming she's not talking about Allah here), and overbearingly... militarism.

Well if that isn't a tribute to MLK, I'm not sure what is.

Northern Ontario,
A good formula to gauge media bias is checking each respective media outlets' count of the number of people in attendence at that rally;-)
