The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” so disturbed the American power structure that the F.B.I. started spying on him in what The Washington Post called “one of its biggest surveillance operations in history.” The speech even moved the head of the agency’s domestic intelligence division to label King “the most dangerous Negro of the future in this nation from the standpoint of Communism, the Negro and national security.”
Of course, King wasn’t dangerous to the country but to the status quo. King demanded that America answer for her sins, that she be rustled from her waywardness, that she be true to herself and to the promise of her founding.
King was dangerous because he wouldn’t quietly accept — or allow a weary people to any longer quietly accept — what had been. He insisted that we all imagine — dream of — what could and must be.

Another reason I like Blow is because Blow is unabashedly unashamed to be Blow. He Blows Your Mind when he'd rather be Blowing in some other form. With a name liked Blow you can't expect people to take you for straight.
RFK had MLK’s phones tapped.
There were also wiretaps on some mobsters. The best was one who was dating Judith Exner (it wasn’t Sam Giancana, although he was also dating her). He knew he was being tapped so he would have Judith call JFK in the White House using his tapped phone just to get it on the record that she was having an affair with the president and they knew she was consorting with mobsters.
Today the Tea Party is considered “Most Dangerous”. This in an era of Occupy anarchists and domestic jihadist terrorists.
Well, blow me down!
Gee, I wonder why. Could it be because both were utter frauds...???
America paid dearly for the sin of slavery in blood via the Civil War and in treasure via the War on Poverty.
Charles it's over. We elected an African-American President and the first thing he did was take away school choice vouchers from desperately poor African-American parents stuck in a school system the Ku Klux Klan would be proud of.
What else can we do to get your people off the Poverty-Pimp Plantation, liberated from the Race-Baiter Brigade and secure from the meddling Guilty White Liberals?
Some things you just have to do yourself, for yourself.
Who should care now?
GayMuzzie has tapped everyone in the country, probably especially rival politicians.
The man’s political career was literally founded on getting his rivals to simply DROP OUT of elections against him.
Granted on what is going on in the here and now WHY are we worrying about comparatively mild stuff that happened *fifty years* ago..?
When the New York Slimes drops into their ass-kissing mood they are great at it.,
His speeches were often laced with Marxist dog-whistle words and phrases like “the masses,” not to mention anti-Americanism of a Soviet-inspired style. Reading his bio and his speeches, you do get the idea that he, like Obama, was being “run” by someone or some group.
From the article: “There is a vacuum in the American body politic waiting to be filled by a young person of vision and courage, one not suckled to sleep by reality television and social media monotony.”
Would he be so thrilled if that young person of vision and courage was conservative?
BWAHAHAHAHA!
(I make myself laugh sometimes.)
Blow, down on his knees again...
I admit I had no intention of laughing, tried to subdue my laughter but couldn’t help but LOL. The vision of Popeye saying, ‘Well, Blow me down’ just hit my funny bone.
Contrary to some people claiming that King was a Republican, there is evidence to support King's ties to the Communist Party including: (1) King's own speeches on economic redistribution and state guaranteed jobs; (2) One of King's right-hand men , Bayard Rustin, being associated with both the Communist Party and the Socialist Party; and (3) King's attendance at Communist functions.
History repeats itself.
Nice find
GayMuzzie. Gotta Love it. It’s perfect. Kudos to you for the most descriptive, creative title for the empty suit White Hut homesteader.
Yeah, what we really need here is racist articles from the liberal NY times to enrich our political discourse. I think this one should have remained with the fishwrap it came in.
