Holding a "take back America"rally on the anniversary of Dr. King`s "I have a dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

The symbolic backhanding and hijacking is as stupid as it is disgusting.

But this is how they roll.

"Beck's publicity event pulls the rug out from under civil rights champions who planned a rally honoring King’s memory on that day, but they are organizing to fight back. “We're going to get together because we are not going to let Glenn Beck own the symbolism of Aug. 28, 2010,” said National Urban League President and CEO Marc Morial. “We need to collaborate and bring together all people of good will, not just black people, on Aug. 28 to send a message that Glenn Beck's vision of America is not our vision of America.”

Glenn Beck has a long history of Kingsploitation. He has in the past compared himself to King, pilfered King’s words to deflect criticism and spun King’s legacy to promote himself, his show and his tribalistic us (patriotic, hard-working, conservative white Americans) against them (lazy, socialist, government-dependent minorities) rhetoric. But now, he is actually hijacking King’s legacy for purposes that run counter to everything King stood for. This -- even more than calling President Obama a racist, more than his ludicrous crying spells -- seems to be the most vindictive and spiteful move yet."

He is not even worth a protest.    He is Jerry Springer.
