Liberals are quite understandably disgusted by Glenn Beck’s “MLK Speech” ridiculous farce taking place today near the Lincoln Memorial. But it’s worse than they think. What they don’t realize is that this whole thing is nothing but a designed distraction away from the 5th anniversary of the Katrina disaster. A similar distraction took place four years ago when the media decided to dredge up the JonBenet Ramsey case again, right on the 1st anniversary of Katrina.
Five years later, most of the victims of Katrina have not been adequately compensated for their losses, and have not been allowed to return to rebuild their homes. The only media outlet in the country who is dedicating itself to the Katrina issue is HBO, with its series “Treme” and Spike Lee’s new documentary.
It is beyond cynical for Glenn Beck to use Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy in order to sweep the Katrina disaster under rug. In fact, it’s grotesque. But, unfortunately, this is where we’re at in this country.
