According to the comments at the link, the statue was damaged a short time ago and it was blocked off to prevent even further damage during the King rally.

According to the article, they covered the statue to protect it from the crowd. There have been incidents in the past.

Now, as to why it was necessary to do this, we are left to use our own imaginations.

When Obama went to Georgetown University, they covered the Crucifix.

We're only allowed to worship the icons the left approves of.

Admiring the founders these days is considered insensitive, at best.

At worst its an act of hate.

Yes we lionize King, who had his own issues, and quite frankly, had he have lived . . I bet he would have turned out to be as left wing as the rest of the “civil rights leadership”

When Obama visits Congress, do they throw a shroud over common sense?

Satan's minions couldn't bare to have the Christ peering down on them.
