snip> "Easton's State Theatre isn't changing its plans to host controversial Fox News commentator Glenn Beck, despite a request from the Easton branch of the NAACP."

snip> Merrill Fennell, Easton president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, wrote "such accusations echo the 'race baiting' that is a sad part of our political history."

snip> "It would be inconsistent and difficult for us to cancel a show for remarks made by one entertainer and not cancel others who may have also been perceived as controversial," Brown wrote in a letter to Fennell.

The show will be on a January night, so don't know if there'll be any protests outside the theater.
Tickets are $50 a pop.
