he just gave a tribute to MLK and now a niece of MLK is speaking. When he was introducing her he said something about her father and her uncle and at first I thought he was going to introduce Caroline Kennedy.
I'm thinking that a large portion of those that came out to D.C. for this rally are starting to have second thoughts about having come. I'm wondering if any are leaving now before this ends. I'm thinking a large portion of this crowd expected it to be a rip roaring political rally and it really isn't. I'm a little bit perplexed by what I've seen and listened to so far of this rally. It has a very religious revival feeling in its make-up.
Another thought I've had listening to this on C-SPAN - if any of you have ever visited Temple Square in Salt Lake City - it is the seat of the Mormon religion - the way Beck is presenting this today and what he is saying has the tone of all the recorded messages one hears when they are touring the exhibits at Temple Square.
I'm also wondering if he is handling out apple pie in the crowd. He's had a couple of mother's (including Palin) and a baseball player speak. What do they say about Mom, Baseball and Apple Pie?
Just some observations so far.
The other thought that I had was that they just coined Sarah Palin's 2010 campaign slogan - Restore America.
I'm thinking this is a grab to recruit a lot of Black Americans for the cause.
