At a ceremony to honor the opening of the new Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in our nation's capital Friday, the late civil rights leader's daughter Bernice made an historical error that would evoke tremendous ridicule and derision if she were a conservative.
BERNICE KING: "But as I close, I close with the recognition that daddy is standing, Lincoln is seated. Lincoln remembered for signing the Declaration of Independence. Daddy being remembered as standing up for truth and standing up for justice and standing up for righteousness and standing up for peace and standing up for freedom. Daddy is now standing on the National Mall in our nation’s capital."
Lincoln signed the Declaration? Who knew?
Did she mention Daddy plagiarized his Doctoral thesis?
Forget it, she’s rolling.
Alveda appears to have gotten the bulk of the grey matter in the family.
That is when there was only 53 states instead of 57.
Alright now, folks. Let us not act like Liberals, but rather remain civil.
Cue double facepalm. If Martin isn’t rolling in his grave, someone should do it for him.
Lincoln twern’t one of her people.
Sometimes apples fall, roll downhill and into drainage ditches....
She’s right.
Joe Biden watched it on TV.
I’m guessing she meant the Immancipation Declaration or whatever it was.
Al Gore invented the ball point pen that Lincoln used to sign his name!
Put that one right in there with “the astronauts planting a flag on Mars.”
A dumb-ass is a dumb-ass is a dumb-ass.
She jus a nuther igit who’s famous by association.....
Let her rant.... Very funny to keep such up front as icons of the left.
This is why it’s so important to get a good edumucation.
Lincoln couldn’t have signed it online if it weren’t for Al Gore.
Don’t laugh. I’m sure that’s what she remembers him for.
You ever read some of Marty’s quotes (sorry, I meant The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr’s) on our involvement in Vietnam? Wow! Talk about HATING America with all of one’s soul. Yet, the unholy, repulsive disease of leftism is so deep in our blood, I heard Mark Levin of all people say that the statue is “long overdue.” Where’s Madison’s statue on the Mall? Adams’ statue? I’ve heard dozens of callers to talk radio talk of how Marty “believed in the US cons, and capitalism, and freedom, etc. And would be (wait for it) rolling over in his grave at the antics of the civil rights movement today.” Sure he would. You know what he was doing, this great believer in capitalism, in Memphis when he died? Screeching for public unions that had gone on strike.
