(CNSNews.com) - Civil rights activist Rev. Dr. Walter Fauntroy criticized Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally set for this weekend and said the Ku Klux Klan and the Tea Party have to be used “interchangeably.”
“In 2010, the ring wing conservatives of this country have declared war on that civil rights movement of the 60s that brought together a coalition of conscience of people of every race creed and color for a march on jobs and freedom,” said Dr. Fauntroy, one of the chief organizers of Dr. Martin Luther King’s March on Washington in 1963.
He continued, “In 2012, from this press conference on, we’re going to organize, beginning with the original sponsors of the march on Washington, 63, a new coalition of conscience and we’re going to take on the barbarism of war, the decadence of racism and the scourge of poverty that the Ku Klux – I meant to say that the Tea Party – you all forgive me but you have to use them interchangeably.”
