And we know this about King from,,,,,FBI office break-ins, use of informers, mail opening, wiretapping, and bugging of King’s office, home, and hotel rooms.
Substitute “TEA” for King, and that one reason I’ll side with King over the people who hounded him. King had deep problems, but runaway government is who we should line up against. And like I mentioned. Charleton Heston agrees with me about King.
We should also be lined up against the left, should we not? Besides, runaway government included income redistribution, affirmative action, and racial reparations---all pushed by MLK.
" And like I mentioned. Charleton Heston agrees with me about King."
With all due respect to you, I don't care who agrees with you about King. I like Charlton Heston just fine, but he's not my moral arbiter. I make up my own mind, and I know for a fact that King was a leftist.
(1) I don't know how old you are, but back in that day (cold war era) and earlier, communist sympathizers were investigated, as our nation rightfully feared an internal communist takeover.
(2) Runaway government is covered in probably half of the other threads here at FR. This is a thread about MLK, and unfortunately there are Freepers here who have naively bought into the myth.
(3) All President Heston did was agree with the original merits of marching for equality. I don't think anyone will argue against that, but I doubt Heston truly approved of the messanger in his later years.
What are you supposed to do with enemies of the country ? This is the kind of mentality that allows Wahhabi Sunnis to plan big killing sprees right in our country because we don’t want to offend the bastards.
