The Martin Luther King of our time, Glenn Beck, is leading his legions in a march on Washington this Saturday, August 28th. This happens to be the anniversary of King's "I Have A Dream" speech (and the aniversary of Barack Obama's acceptance speech at the DNC Convention, but, for some reason, he fails to mention that.) To drive the point home that his version of America is better than yours, Beck will be giving his speech at the focal point of his rally, the footsteps of the Lincoln Memorial. Yes, that Lincoln Memorial.
Does this take balls? HUGE ones. (Particularly the "Glenn Beck Morning Prayer." Sample prayer: "Lord, thank you for making me white. Kill the Muslims. Amen.") But just what type of person is going to be attending Whackapalooza?

This Maine Tea Partier is making sure his followers are not only ready and willing to show the love, but will be safe from the dirty foreigners that infest Washington D.C. Actually, this is a good primer for anyone who has never visited DC AND has never seen any "black people." SO it is a double-win! As always, my favorite part come from the user comments, and one of the converted relaying his experiences in the Capital:
While I was there I stayed in a cheap motel and had the window
open. I was on the third floor. While I was on the phone, there was
a burst of 9MM automatic weapons fire on the street. It was live in the
street of Washington, DC, which is more dangerous than Baghdad.
Good times. We are free at last.
