I nominate Patrick O’Neill of the Catholic Worker House in North Carolina for the Moonbat Hall of Fame. Congrats and good luck, Patrick!

Via LA Times:

… Donald Harris, 66, chairman emeritus of the men’s division of Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Push Coalition, led one of two busloads of Rainbow Push supporters from Chicago to Selma.

All the way, he said, the travelers had discussed the significance of Bloody Sunday and the importance of passing the torch of the civil rights struggle to the younger generation.

The group included seniors who marched in 1965, he said. “We don’t know if any of us will be back here again.”

Patrick O’Neill, wearing a T-shirt that bore King’s image, stood among Sunday’s swarm of people on the bridge. Around his neck, O’Neill wore a sign reading, “I’m sorry.”

He runs a branch of a Christian pacifist organization called Catholic Worker House in North Carolina.

“I feel I need to accept responsibility for my privilege as a white male,” said O’Neill, 58. “I didn’t want to make it complicated. Just two words of repentance.”

Elvira Carter, 48, of Butler, Ala., overheard him. “I just want to shake your hand,” she said.

“It’s good to see someone apologizing,” Carter said. “It’s not your fault. It’s not mine. But thank you.”
