This must put the liberals out there in a quandary.

Do you deface the sign like usual if its MLK they are putting graffiti on, even though it's a Republican backed sign?

“A billboard proclaiming that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican has stirred a religious and political hornets’ nest in Houston, where a church leader is trying to draw black voters into the Republican Party.”

Why would he have been a Democrat? Who do these idiots think he was fighting all those years?

[doodad]

We were insulted

It was not about you or directed to you, Mr. X.

“has stirred a religious and political hornets’ nest”

Good!!

Truth hurts.

I would think he would have to be a Republican since he would have likely been barred from voting in Democrat primaries.

[Sioux-san]

Right - this is all before Jesse Jackson became a race warlord of the Left.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Wow, it upsets them? Maybe they ought to work for a law to ban that kind of speech.

I mean, after all, the Constitution means nothing to liberals...we've known that for years.

My, that Mr. Quannel Exlax gentleman certainly gets around. Last time he made national news he was getting run out of Sugarland by supportters of the Bitter Clinger Joe Horn.

Anyway, he is in need of another symbolic beatdown. His brand of hatred gets few supporters around these parts anyways.

Big secret: although he is all things black pride, he is in fact married to an asian woman and tries to hide that fact. You heard it here first.

Hypocrite!

[Abathar]

That has GOT to be photoshopped, tell me that isn’t real.

[Ancient Drive]

the truth shall set you free.

Wouldn’t want to “politicize” that King legacy...unless you pay his family.

[JohnC2004]

I’m gonna go post that over on Wikipedia right now.

I honestly don’t think Martin Luther King is relevant to the New Blacks of 2009. Martin Luther King wanted the melting pot, mixing and sharing. Modern blacks enjoy being in their own Caucus, and listening to their on Black Entertainment TV. I remember going to Atlanta and being the only lighter person there, and people looked at me strangely like WHAT WAS I DOING THERE. MLK and his ideas are past tense.

People forget political parties are fluid. King was a major leftist, moving from civil rights to union and anti-vietnam activism. The union activism was what got him killed.

[Abathar]

Funny how that does change things isn’t it?

[Abathar]

LOL, yeah, it will stay up there for all of what, 5 seconds? :)
