This article manifests how Al Sharpton and Liberals/Progressives can't help their partisan selves. Perhaps it manifests their ignorance . . . I don't know.
("Beck rally: Glenn Beck rally underway" - latimes.com) From the article:
Attendees were encouraged not to bring political signs and flyers. Skeptical Democrats have countered that the event is "blatantly political." Many in the crowd wore shirts and hats in the colors of the American flag.
So does wearing red, white and blue evince "blatant[] politic[s]"? I'd say that claiming it does evinces an ugly view of America. And then there's Sharpton's comments:
"In '63, they went to Washington for a strong national government to protect civil rights," Sharpton said in an interview earlier this week. "He and Palin are going there for a weak national government and to advocate state rights."
I can hardly believe that Sharpton would be so stupid as to advocate on behalf of Big Government. Whether or not MLK was appealing to THE GOV'T by marching to DC--the Democrats in power sure seemed to need some arm-twisting to get on board with the Civil Rights movement--he was definitely appealing to the conscience of individual Americans. I hate to make the event "political," but since Sharpton brought it up, does he seriously believe that our problems in America at this juncture stem from a need for a bigger, more powerful Federal government?
