Alveda King is one of the few people who benefit from both major forms of Republican affirmative action:
1. The openly endorsed affirmative action for the relatives of rich and important people that gets people like George W. Bush into Ivy League schools and 2. The hypocritical affirmative action for blacks in the Republican Party, due to severe underrepresentation, that gets people like Michael Steele prominent positions. This kind of affirmative action is not acknowledged because it's exactly the kind of affirmative action Republicans officially oppose. This is also one of the only situations in the United States where Jews actually benefit from this type of affirmative action as well.
Though King would have almost definitely been an opponent of the Tea Party and disagreed with almost all of their official and unstated planks, Beck believes you can't ignore that one of the many members of King's extended family is willing to work on behalf of the Tea Party and the GOP for a shitload of money.
So really this rally isn't that bad. Definitely no worse than pretending to know what the founding fathers would think about NAFTA and net neutrality.

I've been a lurker for a long time, but this made me want to post. Democrats are so hypocritical about race. It's appauling that he thinks it's okay to say that just because somebody is a black Republican that they're stupid. I'm staying with a friend in DC and I'm going to the rally and I'm excited to see Beck and King and all the other speakers. I think it will be a historic event. Democrats think that only the NAACP and the Democratic Party get to use MLK as a role model, which just enrages me, because that's just the sort of idea MLK was against.
Come back after the rally and give us an update!
