On the Mall, just down from the Glenn Beck event, a only a few people stopped to listen to Dr. King.
The title of [Martin Luther King, Jr.’s] 1963 demonstration, “The Great March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom,” reflected his belief that the right to sit at a lunch counter would be hollow if African Americans could not afford the meal. The need for jobs and shared economic prosperity remains as urgent and compelling as it was 47 years ago. My father’s vision would include putting millions of unemployed Americans to work, rebuilding our tattered infrastructure and reforms to reduce pollution and better care for the environment.

The fact that Glenn Beck, who doesn’t have a compassionate bone in his body, is holding a rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial is the epitome of chutzpah.
Ending [the Bush tax cuts] for the rich simply returns them to the Clinton tax rate, which was hardly confiscatory (reminder: the Clinton years were damn good for business).

The outcry over the building of the mosque, near ground zero, implies that Islam alone was responsible for the 9/11 attacks. According to those who are condemning the building of the mosque, the nineteen suicide terrorists on 9/11 spoke for all Muslims.… This is all about hate and Islamaphobia.
