Obama said in his own words Sunday said that he paid no attention to Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor rally in DC.
Did you believe him?
I wasn’t sure until I read this bombshell from the Washington Examiner which exposes an email from Arne Duncan, the United States Secretary of Education to his staff, urging them to attend Al Sharpton’s counter event. Do you still think Obama was ignoring Beck’s event?
President Obama’s top education official urged government employees to attend a rally that the Rev. Al Sharpton organized to counter a larger conservative event on the Mall.
“ED staff are invited to join Secretary Arne Duncan, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and other leaders on Saturday, Aug. 28, for the ‘Reclaim the Dream’ rally and march,” began an internal e-mail sent to more than 4,000 employees of the Department of Education on Wednesday.
Sharpton created the event after Glenn Beck announced a massive Tea Party “Restoring Honor” rally at the Lincoln Memorial, where King spoke in 1963.
The Washington Examiner learned of the e-mail from a Department of Education employee who felt uncomfortable with Duncan’s request.
I don’t blame the employee for feeling uncomfortable. Can you imagine if you were an MSNBC watching liberal and your boss sent you an email urging you to attend Glenn Beck’s event? How would you feel?
No depth of manipulation seems to be too low for Obama and the crowd of Chicago corruptocrats surrounding him.
They employ tactics which are much worse than anything their supporters railed loudly against under the George W. Bush administration.
