King would have supported gay 'marriage,' (Commie) ex-aide says

Washington Times ^ | 1/14/05 | Robert Stacy McCain

I don't know why, but this story makes me ROFLMAO!

[CyberAnt]

I don't agree that King would accepted gay marriage.

In face, the dems won't mention it, but a lot of black Baptists voted for Bush because of the gay marriage and abortion issues.

and John F. Kennedy would have supported adultery laws.

[tallhappy]

Well of course King was homosexual. He was trying to emulate his hero Lincoln.

(I'll bet this thesis would get someone a book deal nowadays).

[Dallas59]

I don't think so. When the Gay guy down the street gets into his $55,000 dollar Mercedes and drives away from his $400,000 dollar condo and complains he just doesn't have any rights...makes me wanna barf.

John F. Kennedy would have supported adultery laws

Kennedy was gay. All that fooling around with Monroe or whomever rumor was cover up.

(another book deal).

Speaking of King's "Christian commitment to a socially conscious democracy," former Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) activist Jack O'Dell asked, "Why would he exclude people because of their sexual preference?" "

He may not have have excluded gays

But he also wouldn't have condoned the gay life style

[Cowboy Bob]

Martin Luther King Jr. would have supported same-sex "marriage,"

I believe Mr. O'Dell is correct. I think it would be fitting if we combine the MLK birthday celebration with Gay and Lesbian Day.

[shibumi]

Gee, I don't know why. I think it's highly edifying to know that the Washington Times is taking seriously the statements of a senile, expatriate, communist flunky.

The truth is that we will never know because MLK is DEAD!

An American Expat in Southeast Asia

[Welsh Rabbit]

And he might have given up working for civil rights to pursue video games full time with the advent of the Atari. We'll never know; he's dead...

[tallhappy]

Who the hell cares what he would've thought?

Are you gay?


...because if you are I think you could get a book deal writing about who you think was gay.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Gee Whiz, maybe We should drop the charges against Mikey Jackson!

[Apercu]

Who cares?

---I don't know why, but this story makes me ROFLMAO!---

It's funny stuff, that's why! :^)

---Mr. O'Dell, 81, now an international affairs consultant to the National Rainbow Coalition, was dismissed from the staff of King's SCLC after a June 1963 White House meeting during which President Kennedy urged the civil rights leader to purge communists from his organization.---

[Chummy]

"The homosexual rights movement is 'another dimension of the struggle for human rights'...."

So with the same "logic" one must conclude Dr. King would be pro-life? For without question the struggle for an unborn chlid to escape its murderous parents and procedure provider and simply live is "another dimension of the struggle for human rights...."

[Madstrider]

I don't know why, but this story makes me ROFLMAO!

The funny thing is, O'Dell has gone from being pro-Soviet to being pro-Canadian without ever once altering his anti-Americanism!

[Madstrider]

To wit:

Mr. O'Dell remained a staunch defender of communism for decades. At a 1985 event in Berkeley, Calif., on the 68th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, Mr. O'Dell called U.S. opposition to the Soviet Union "an integral part of the belief system of racism and Western national chauvinism."

Last night, Mr. O'Dell condemned the United States for its "aggressive militarism," and called for a "new Reconstruction" to eliminate economic inequality.

A Detroit native who now lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, Mr. O'Dell said Canada is ahead of the United States in creating the kind of society King advocated.

"Canada has a socially conscious democracy — not as advanced as Europe, but way ahead of the United States," he said.
