Where was the good doctor in the 60s, anyway? Was he marching with the civil rights protestors, or was he hooting and hollering in glee on the sidewalk as Bull Connor turned dogs and firehoses on peaceful marchers?

In fact, I noticed a few decrepit oldsters in that sobbing crowd gathered round Roy's Rock. What were they doing when their governments were denying voting rights and the right to even try and participate in local economies to blacks? Dobson can try and invoke MLK, but that dog won't hunt, and Dobson isn't a fouth of the man MLK was.

Your assessment of the people surrounding the Rock-is deplorable. These same people have been in churches and in their communities for years offering hope and healing through faith in Christ. They aren't responsible for inappropriate racial treatment-that is a real far stretch to go don't you think?

In the early 60s, I believe that "the good doctor" Dobson was getting his M.D. degree at USC, raising his family, doing a residency in pediatrics, and teaching at Children's Hospital so that he could help cure kids from diseases and other ailments. What were you doing then to better the state of mankind?

MLK isn't one trillionth the man Dobson is.

It's obvious your ignorance knows no bounds. You are obviously not one-quarter the man Dr. Dobson is.

Where was Paul in the early days of the church, anyway? Was he proclaiming the Gospel with the apostles, or was he hooting in hollering in glee as Stephen was being stoned?

Where was Ronald Reagan in the days of the New Deal, anyway? Was he warning of the dangers of government dependence, or was he fully supporting FDR?

BTW, I am not implying that Dr. Dobson was opposed to the civil rights movement. I am saying, however, that people can change their opinions. What's the problem with that?

And, suppose at least ONE person at the monument marched with King. What does that do to your argument?
