We threw the event together in three days and had about twenty-five people there, many of whom wrote poems especially for the event. Quraysh Ali Lansana, one of the greatest African American voices of our time, even came and read for us. I don't understand why you are trying to insult our efforts with your snide comments about how many people showed up. Is it because I made mention of the fact that not a lot of people show up for protests anymore, and if so, how can you take THAT personally? I show up to protests, so I was criticizing myself as much as anyone else by saying that. I'm not ripping on protests when I saw few people show up, I'm saying MORE people SHOULD show up. But you are pointing to this Obama reading with near joy that there wasn't a thousand people there. Now, since I've honestly answered your question, please, tell me, HOW THE FUCK IS MCCAIN LIKE MARTIN LUTHER KING JR???? Don't duck the quetion.
