"That upsets me," Elder said. "That's someone who knows nothing about Dr. King, because Dr. King was totally about nonviolence."

Yeah, tell that to the business owners on Hough Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio back in 1966.

I can't say that MLK professed violence, but the movement that seemed to spark from his presence was certainly violent. Very violent.

As for the party, I really don't see the problem - the objections are generally PC gone overboard.

Of course they were the racists sic'd dogs on 'em, had riot police beat 'em and turned fire hoses on them. Very violent indeed.
