Miscast as Party Leaders, Time for Michael Steele and Tim Kaine to Go?
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyRepublican Party chairman Michael Steele gave his fellow Republicans plenty of reasons for apoplexy in the last two years, and the first campaign to oust him is already under way. But let's face it, both party leaders were miscast. Tim Kaine, the former Virginia governor, became chairman of the Democratic National Committee under pressure from his good friend Barack Obama, even though he still had a year to go as governor of a purple swing state. The shared philosophy of the two men was evident not just in what they said at their news conference, but in the blue and red striped tie that Kaine ...

Smithsonian Snags Memorabilia From Glenn Beck, Al Sharpton Rallies
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyThere is a reason the Smithsonian Institution is affectionately known as "The Nation's Attic." Its curators and historians collect all manner of stuff. And Saturday, Aug. 28, was just another work day, as staffers at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History went on the hunt for memorabilia to add to the collection of 3 million items. From Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial -- held on the 47th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream speech" and massive civil rights march -- they snapped up "a water bottle, pamphlets, leaflets, ...
Glenn Beck: Making Sense of the Man and the Movement
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics Daily"Do you think Barack Obama was watching, maybe from one of those helicopters?" asked someone on the bus that was shuttling tired but not weary participants from Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" event. For Leslie McPherson of Villa Rica, Ga., who had taken an even longer bus ride to participate in the Saturday gathering on Washington's National Mall, it was all about the politics. The president may not have attended the event, but he was in the thoughts of this veteran of local Tea Party rallies, sitting next to her military veteran brother. "What's going on now," she said, "you don't know when ...

Al Sharpton Leads Counter-Rally on King Anniversary, Answering Beck Group
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyBlocks away from a huge rally by conservative activists, civil right leader Al Sharpton led a counter-protest to honor the legacy of the Rev.

Sharpton and some other African American leaders took umbrage at conservative commentator Glenn Beck's decision to state his "Restoring Honor" event on the anniversary of the 1963 King speech at the spot where he delivered it -- the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Sharpton's group started at Dunbar High School in Northwest Washington and ...

Black Conservatives Voice Support for Glenn Beck Rally
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyGlenn Beck's "Rally to Restore Honor," set for Saturday at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, has stirred controversy because of it's timing (the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech) and its location (the same spot where King delivered that speech).

She recently wrote: "When I join Beck and all gathered at the Lincoln Memorial this weekend, I will talk about my ...
