"I despise the way his memory has been whored out by the likes of Sharpton, Jackson, Farrakhan, and now, it seems, even his own family."

And the Rat party and complicit press. MLK would be GOP were he alive today and he saw who the "civil rights" leaders claim to be....

King wouldn't be a Republican, he'd be something we don't have in the US anymore, but are quite prevelant in Europe: a Christian Democrat. He'd tick off the Left with support for prayer in schools, school vouchers, fighting illigetimacy etc. He'd tick off the right by advocating stronger anti-poverty programs and regulations (i.e. higher min wage etc.). As a result, he'd have few friends.
