The Glenn Beck “Restoring Honor” rally at the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, DC was an “abuse of freedom” according to Governor Deval Patrick (D-Mass).
“For these white people to horn-in on a date and a place that hosted Martin Luther King’s I have a Dream speech is just too much,” complained Patrick. “Al Sharpton’s authentic Black celebration was shunted off to a crummy nearby high school auditorium. That’s not right.”
Even apprised of the fact that the site Beck used is a public place that anyone can, with a little advanced planning, reserve, Patrick was not mollified. “Just because you are free to do something doesn’t mean you should do it,” Patrick opined. “There are times when common sense should prevail. I supposed Beck and that crowd will say it’s a free country. I wish it werent.”
Patrick also speculated that the huge attendance at Beck’s rally was “inflated by people who were really looking for Al Sharpton’s rally.” Estimates place the crowd at Beck’s rally at 300,000 compared to Sharpton’s 3,000.

Too much freedom for us does not please our democRAT masters.
Well, Massachusetts voters can carry freedom just far enough to retire the Governor. Then he can try to get a job doing color commentary on MSNBC.
Hmmm...That would be judging someone based on the color or their skin. Gosh, I think there's a famous speech saying that's not a good thing to do?
Bigot.
>“Just because you are free to do something doesn’t mean you should do it,” Patrick opined.
*Sigh* — what a horrible misquote of Uncle Ben.
>“There are times when common sense should prevail. I supposed Beck and that crowd will say it’s a free country. I wish it werent.”
It’s surprising how many times “common sense” is resorted to in order to keep someone from exercising a right; even on this forum I get told it’s “not common sense” to take a firearm into a city or county courthouse just because my state constitution forbids the county or city from “regulat[ing], in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms.”
It’s satire, but it is oh so close to the truth.
I always love the replies to the AzConservative threads
Or should I call them semi-replies?
This guy is an idiot.
Is he ashamed to be white?
It’s white guilt pukes like him who placed Obama in the Hate Whitey House.
This is one white man who feels that Duval patrick can KMA
Some of you may criticize Deval Patrick for saying he wishes America were not a free country. But I, for one, applaud the Governor for saying openly what most Democrat pols believe, but won't say. Always better to have it out in the open.
Thanks for another head shakin’ wry chuckle John.
The guy's a jerk.
Patrick is a racist.
Thank You ,I got had.
I blame myself for not looking harder and for not liking Deval Patrick in the first place.
It’s poorly written satire.
Satire or not, Patrick is scum. He let Lon Horiuchi off the hook for murdering Randy Weaver’s wife at Ruby Ridge and if my memory is right, he helped prosecute (persecute) the Branch Davidian survivors. He is as low as Janet Reno and that’s going some.
And thus we get a glimpse of the elitist fascist/socialist ultimate goal for us...a Country in which we don't have such freedoms. Whatever rally, ACLU, KKK, etc. on whatever side of an issue there is, we can disagree on the issue. But as Americans we should celebrate the freedom and liberty we, and others, have, even when it p****s us off. People like Patrick are the real common enemy of freedom and liberty. Whether you're with Sharpton, Beck, both, or neither, no American should support Patrick in his assault on our freedoms.

Could this un-American, anti-freedom, anti-liberty fool be any clearer? He shouldn't be able to get elected as dog-catcher in a one-light town.
Governor Deval Patrick (D-Mass). needs to be dropped off in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean without a radio, paddle, water or compass ASAP
Semmons’ greatest fun is to take what they really did say and just push it a little farther. Deval Patrick said: “It’s a free country. I wish it weren’t. You know, you got to respect that freedom.”
Which friendly press have kindly edited to say, simply, that he respected freedom and left out the unfortunate slip of the tongue. Which could mean that as often is the case, Semmons’ satire is closer to the truth than the news coverage, which is why its hard to say sometimes if its satire or the raw uncut truth. Until you see the name “Semmons” and “semi-satire” and again you know you’ve been had.
The tone of the actual comments on Beck have been very similar to your satirical version of it. Which is fun when you invert it and compare it to the mosque debate.
He should be excoriated and denounced for his abusing his high office to stir up racial disharmony and incite violence against white children. What kind of filthy, disgusting animal would even think of doing such a thing?
This is a Racial Hate Crime and an impeachable misuse of his office, and he must be prosecuted.

"It's so-called "satire" posted by someone whose sole internet-pleasure revolves around jerking peoples chains with not-funny "humor" hat he hasn't the courtesy to label as "satire".
The guy's a jerk."
Oh...really?
The word “satire” appears right under the title and in “key words.”
I have a hot flash for racists of all colors... NO ONE RACE owns any on our national monuments.
There.
Fixed it for you.
You deserve the flames you get.
Oh please....figure it out.
