From the June 23 broadcast of Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program:

Previously:

Top U.S. civil rights leaders accuse Beck of hijacking Dr. King's legacy, plan 8/28 counter-rally

Beck says it's “divine providence” 8-28 rally is on same day as MLK speech, adds: “It's time we picked that dream back up”

Beck's accusation that progressives have “co-opted” civil rights movement rings hollow
