The reason that Dem AG Bobby Kennedy justified his approval of the FBI secretly spying on MLK was because the suspected that he might be colluding with the Russians ( no kidding). So, the Left iwas doing nothing it hadn’t done before to Donald Trump except that they came up with a lot less dirt.
Dems again ripping down the African American community. Kennedy was afraid of MLK and his influence and sought to get dirt on him.
Why isn’t the claim of a Pulitzer Prize winner and foremost expert on MLK even being reported in our MSM? Isn’t this claim 1000X more credible than the rape charges against Brett Kavanaugh, and are there not actual FBI tapes for evidence in this case unlike with the claim against Kavanaugh? Are these not claims of rape against an adult with evidence rather than claims against a teen without evidence?
Is this not a case of clergy sex abuse (rape)? Why no coverage or outrage here?
The story was broken over the weekend. Imagine if it involved a conservative like , let’s say Ronald Reagan. Think we’d be hearing about it?
Liberals are the greatest of hypocrites.

I feel that the species as a whole fits this categorization.

Voting no on MLK's nomination to the Supreme Court under the same facts as Kavanaugh? Sure.
one of the lines was that according the the FBI running surveillance on both of them, that Malcolm X was a saint compared to MLK.

A dead man has been accused by, well, no one in particular, of somehow taking part in a rape.
What are we supposed to do? Hold a trial for a dead man with no witnesses?
....you are making the point that I want to make. The Left reacts completely differently when it is in their political interests vs when it is against them. They react by moving to tear down what they don’t like, and saying “what about it?” when the same things are done by people they do like.
You make my point.
Are you sure?

.......tell me more. Is MLK “too big to fail”?
I was very sad when I saw this news, enough to be willing to wait for the actual tapes to be released. But we both know that they are likely true given other rumors that surrounded him. It certainly would be reported and treated differently if it were a conservative icon or perhaps a Church figure. And of course, we have been taught by the Left that we do not have to wait for actual evidence in these types of accusations, right?
Perhaps that is your point though. Are you asserting that as a nervous white man, you feel that a different standard should be applied to black icons - just like you feel a different academic standard should be applied?
I do find the Left’s behaviors to be absurd On the topics broached in this post which is why I used this example to reflect those expectations back at them in order to demonstrate it to them. Did you think that I actually want MLK’s name taken down, or do you understand that I think that the entire renaming game is ridiculous and shouldn’t be done at all?
Please elaborate and be specific about what you find ridiculous in my post and why.
And that's the grand irony of your ramblings.
........the Left turned him into something else. They do not adhere to his memory nor his words that one day, a man will be judged by himself not on the color of his skin - that doesn’t fit with affirmative action at all. Instead, they have created the false illusion that today’s system is his dream. They do not want that illusion disturbed, though now there are likely some who are considering admitting the discrepancy now that they have something to bring him down with.
Do not misunderstand me. I am not happy about this, I am showing hypocrisy.
I don't know what the country would look like without MLK, but it would surely be worse. This is the point of my aggregate comment.
That is my point in aggregate. Don't destroy a man's good contributions because of unrelated bad things.
I made this point by asking the Left if they were going to be consistent with MLK like with Jefferson or Columbus, but i don't want them to do it. I want them to see common sense.
It’s right in the heart of downtown ridiculous.
Taking down monuments and renaming roads is ridiculous. The Kavanaugh standard that you set is ridiculous. The bias of the MSM coverage is ridiculous. The claims of Russian Collusion are ridiculous.
I’m glad you were able to pick up on that.
I was not aware of this.
...it is alleged by the premier MLK biographer and Pulitzer Prize winner who has listened/watched to the tapes.
If he were nominated for the Supreme Court, then I would fully support having the witnesses to that event testify before Congress at the hearings.
corroberate his story? If so, then you’d be doing what Libs did with Kavanaugh.
I’m willing to wait on MLK for the actual evidence unlike the Left has done to their opponents, but I must say that it doesn’t look good for him right now.
