Yes, it was wrong. We were discussing it in another thread, and according to one book written about President Kennedy, MLK, Jr. only voted on one occasion for a Republican, and that was Ike in '56 (although I don't know the source the author has for that). He would've been eligible to vote in 1950 when he turned 21, and I have never seen any evidence of his voter (party) registration in AL or GA or for whom he voted for during that decade save that one particular unsourced race. The problem with all of this is that it's based on why he should've voted Republican, but not if he did, which is a big difference. The problem is that he was a Socialist, and he certainly did not believe in Conservatism as we know it. If he did indeed vote GOP for the decade of the '50s and never after, why would we even want to claim him ? That would be like our running around touting Jim Jeffords as a Republican. He may have been at one point, but never was after. See what I mean ?
