What are your sources for maligning the civil rights leader? And if you are correct (COINTEL perhaps?), does it take away from his achievements in highlighting the need for civil rights reforms in this great country of ours?

By the way, there's a pretty good summation of many of these themes here; to the extent that King was surrounded by communist radicals, the milieu within which he worked is surprisingly similar to the milieu within which Barack Hussein Obama is working today.

"brownsfan" was originally talking about "what Dr. King had in mind", and I was only pointing out that, as a committed leftist, and known plagiarizer, adulterer, communist sympathizer, etc etc etc - which is to say that, as a professional LIAR, we can only conjecture as to what he really "had in mind".
He may have "had in mind" that we would all join hands and sing Kumbaya and the world would be a better place for you and me, or, like Michelle LaVaughn Robinson, he may have had his sights set on ripping our eyes out.
We just don't know what MLK "had in mind".
We do know, though, that this nation has suffered from 40 years of dysgenic fertility and that the day of reckoning is near - the day when all social order breaks down and the society falls apart at the seams.
Again, prepare for the worst.
His plagiarism (which includes the I Have a Dream stuff) was so pervasive that Boston University has said that his doctorate should be considered honorary only.
Does it detract from his achievements? That's for each person to decide. I will admit I was shocked to learn of his dishonesty, and his willingness to misappropriate the words of a close friend. Maybe it doesn't detract from his achievements, but it does go to the content of his character.
