MLK was a Republican ??? Holy Cow, I never learned that in school. I think I will donate.

I've always thought his "I have a dream" speech is a very Republican speech. He was telling people that they had to stand on their own two feet, not wait for handouts. That is a Republican think, not a Dem think.

Also, had he been a die-hard Democrat why would Bobby Kennedy have spied on him and tapped his phones?

I wasn't aware that MLK Jr. was a Republican, but his dad was, at least until 1960. That year, Martin Sr. switched his support from Nixon to John Kennedy when RFK secured the release of Martin Jr. from jail after a sit-in. (Of course, once the Kennedys were in office Bobby tapped Martin Sr.'s son's phone in the hopes of ruining him, but we're not supposed to remember that.)
