I'VE READ THIS QUESTION AT POLITICO...

"If Glenn Beck is so wrong, why doesn't anyone refute him?" I usually respond with my post about his false claim about the 1920 Depression and David Neiwert at Crooks & Liars has another rebuttal of Beck's claim about the Civil Rights movement:
Beck: Who were the Civil Rights marchers? They were people with a profound belief in God. They were trying to set things right. They weren't crying for social justice! They were crying out for equal justice!

Neiwert provides this quote from a 1963 MLK speech:
I think with all of these challenges being met and with all of the work, and determination going on, we will be able to go this additional distance and achieve the ideal, the goal of the new age, the age of social justice.
