Benjamin Jealous, president of the NAACP, told Eyeblast.tv at Al Sharpton's 'Reclaiming the Dream' rally at Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C.-- a counter protest to Glenn Beck's 'Restoring Honor' rally held on the same day from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King's 'I Have A Dream' speech--that if you were to read King's speech to the crowd in attendance at Beck's rally, no one would applaud. "I have a feeling if someone stood up and read Dr. King's speech to that crowd, it would not get applause", Jealous said. At the NAACP's 101st Convention Youth Night in Kansas City on July 12, Jealous claimed  the Tea Party has drank their last cup.
