re: #727 Killgore Trout

Here’s a good diary on dKos from “a liberal black man” who went to Beck’s rally yesterday…mostly basic musings and observations but with some funny interactions he had with people.

One quote as teaser:

So, I’m waiting in one of the very long lines for the Port A Potties when this woman comes up to me and grabs my wrist. I’d dug up my old Obama “Yes We Did!” rubber band for the event, but didn’t think anyone would notice it. This lady, apparently did, and asked me (nicely. At first.), “What’s this all about?” I told her “This is all about me using the bathroom”. She looked flustered, then asked me “Why are you here today?” I said “I’m here to take a leak.” Now, I could tell she was getting agitated, and she proceeded to tell me about how Glenn Beck’s event was all about redeeming Dr. King’s dream, and bringing people together, how Beck’s tears alone could cure juvenile diabetes, blah, blah, blah. This goes on for about a full minute, as she’s apparently clueless that I’m paying her zero attention. The Port A Potty door finally opens. “I’m using the bathroom now, please don’t follow me,” I tell her, as I walk past. When I came out she was gone. Weird, weird exchange.
