Rally Compared With Martin Luther King

The Restoring Honor rally planned for Saturday in Washington is attracting reaction from civil rights groups. Glen Beck will speak to folks identified with the Tea Party at the Lincoln Memorial. That the day and place where Martin Luther King gave his famous “Dream” speech 47 years ago.



Rally Round

Glen says it’s all about honor;
The rally’s not meant to berate;
It’s not about folks being racists,
And nobody there will preach hate.

Among civil rights folks are some skeptics
Who question the Tea Party’s venue;
And wonder just what kind of speeches
Will be on the Tea Party’s menu.

They think of the “I Have a Dream” speech
And question what Glen Beck might bring.
Glen hopes that folks won't compare, though;
‘Cause, he says, he’s no Martin L. King.
