"Civil Rights Moment"...........
Edited on Sat Aug-28-10 08:41 AM by CrownPrinceBandar
That's the thing that most gets under my skin about the Beckapalooza today. And while I don't dispute his right to say it, who the fuck does he think he's fooling? His shitty-ass little product-placement phrase, ready-made for t-shirts and bumper stickers, is a slap in the face for those who have suffered and died for the Civil Rights MOVEMENT. Who is Beck supposed to be liberating? Who's rights is he supposed to be standing up for? What, some stodgy-ass white people who feel oppressed under the "liberal yoke" of a black President? Folks who have never had to deal with real prejudice? To subvert a genuine nation changing event and turn it into a commercial circle-jerk, and more disgustingly so on the site of the legendary speech (but two flights down), makes me want to lose my breakfast.

edit: grammar

1. Pittsburgh AM News: 16 buses full of teapartiers (baggers) have left here for DC

900 TPs in 16 buses on their way.... over the SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT-BUILT HIGHWAYS.

:grr:

2. I think you got that wrong looks more like a bowel movement to me.

3. And he has the balls to say that when he set the date...
...he wasn't aware of its significance.

What a POS. This is about the most stomach-turning and -churning event I've seen.
