I'm sure Dwellars are tired of my posting about the Mosque, but please give me this one more without charge...
(Quote-formatting below is for readability only)

I was just watching a cable talk-show with NY Gov Petraki (sp ?) talking about the mosque in NYC.
His very strong position was the usual:
Quote:
THEY have the legal right to build there, but THEY should be sensitive to how WE feel about Ground Zero... etc., etc., and so on.
The very next topic was Glen Beck's crowd-gathering at the Lincoln Memorial planned for Saturday,
which is the 38th anniversary of Dr. King's "I have a dream" speech on the steps of that same Lincoln Memorial.
The talking heads argued that Beck had deliberately set his event to conflict with this anniversary.

What happened next was pure TV irony...
They had an interview with ML King Jr.,
and he started his remarks started with:
Quote:
BECK has the legal right to hold his meeting there, but HE should be sensitive to how WE feel about that date and place. etc., etc., and so on...!
You can't make up this stuff...
