On August 28th, which also happens to be the 47th year anniversary of Martin Luther King’s March on Washington, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin will be holding a rally at the same exact location of Kings historic protest, the Lincoln Memorial.

Beck claims the the rally is not a political one, and calls it a “celebration of America,” however, civil rights activists as well as many Democrats are saying otherwise. Beck states, “This has everything to do with, ‘Who are we?’ There is profound change happening in America, and there is a window of opportunity that comes in the lifespan of every republic, every civilization — a window of opportunity to reach for that brass ring or to miss it. We’re not the people that we’ve allowed ourselves to become.”

On the same day, and same location where Martin Luther King Jr. made his now famous “I have a dream,” speech, Beck, Palin and company want 100,000 people to gather in order to rally. This seems like quite a coincidence considering Glenn Beck has said that he planned the rally date without knowing that August 28th was the anniversary of this important civil rights protest.

Many now are questioning if Beck is a political power for conservative politics, or just a man looking to advance his own self.
