The following are quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King. As you read them, ask yourself if you can picture Glenn Beck saying the same thing, and then re-think the "Restoring Honor" rally and his hijacking of Dr. King's legacy:
"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."
"It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes; but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society."
"One of the greatest casualties of the war in Vietnam is the Great Society... shot down on the battlefield of Vietnam."
"Philanthropy is commendable, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary."
"Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man."
