Hiding George Washington Statue At A MLK Rally

THIS IS INTERESTING AND SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T AND WON'T SEE OR HEAR ABOUT ON THE EVENING NEWS. Oh wait, there was ONE news media who did report it. Guess which one. Fair and Balanced indeed. 

Is this what this country has become?

George Washington statue is hidden at the MLK rally in Columbia , SC   (January, 2011) The annual MLK observance at the state house in Columbia SC had an interesting twist this year. The event is held on the north side steps of the statehouse. Prominent at that location is a large bronze statue of George Washington. This year, the NAACP constructed a "box" to conceal the father of our country from view so that participants would not be 'offended' by his presence. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw this picture of the MLK Day rally in Columbia, South Carolina. This rally was sponsored by the NAACPand they said that they covered the statue because they "didn't want to offend anyone". Really? George Washington is the father of this nation. How is he offensive to anyone? Can you imagine what would happen if we covered the statue of Dr. Martin L. King on President's Day? or is only the statue of a 'white guy' offensive ?? Of course, this display of anti-Americanism wasn't covered at all by the national media (surprise, surprise !!), and the local paper in Columbia only ran a short piece on it.  It has been covered a little by the blog-world but I think the word needs to get out to the general public that this is what the NAACP is all about...militant and (most definately) racist.   Sources to confirm:
