Well, one thing MLK Jr. definitely WASN'T is a "card carrying Republican". King said he was undecided for President in 1956 but leaned Democrat, opposed Nixon in 1960, VEHEMENTLY opposed Goldwater in '64, and would have opposed ANY Republican candidate in '68. Pretty strange actions for a "card carrying Republican" to do.

While its true that its become taboo to trash MLK Jr. in public, that doesn't mean our side has to made up fictional "facts" about him and pretend he was some kind of Tea Party type conservative.

Hopefully that nonsense will stop now. Conservatives that do that kind of stuff discredit the rest of us.

I was waiting for the first nitwit to post that crap that MLK Jr. was a Republican in the thread. They should be roasted to charcoal.
