Al Sharpton And Bill O’Reilly Debate The Merits Of Glenn Beck’s Rally
Unless you get your news exclusively from Sean Hannity, you have most likely heard about Glenn Beck‘s “Restoring Honor” rally held last Saturday on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The event was initially designed by the Fox News host as a political rally to “reclaim the civil rights movement,” which raised the ire of Beck’s political foes, particularly since the rally coincided with the anniversary of MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
But Beck surprised people with a rally that focused more on religion than politics, which forced his political opponents – namely Al Sharpton to focus criticism on pre-rally rhetoric, as opposed to the rally itself, as he did with Bill O’Reilly last night.
It’s worth noting that Sharpton is not only a willing combatant with both O’Reilly and Beck on issues of justice and equality, particularly as it applies to civil rights. But Rev. Al and the Fox News hosts appear to embrace a mutual respect and civil discourse that belies the current political climate – or the standard rhetorical backs and forth between opposing political opinion media outlets. The following clip almost makes one wish that elected officials could debate, discuss and even disagree so effectively as Sharpton and O’Reilly do in the following clip.
