Could It Be that Much that We Think We Know About MLK Is Exaggerated or Even an Outright Lie? |
2018-03-31 |
[NoPasaran] Brace yourself for a stampede of public figures all claiming to be King’s greatest admirer as April 4th marks 50 years since Martin Luther King Jr was murdered in Memphis. Benny Huang, who has written about MLK before, declares that he will not pretend to be one of them. Unlike a lot of conservatives I wouldn’t be caught dead trying to co-opt MLK and his undeserved aura of moral superiority. |

#11 For some conservatives, King plays the role that Safely Dead Right Wingers play for lefties. The fact is, if you look at King in his later years, he was publicly moving to the hard left on a range of issues. Combined with his, um, pecadillos, had he lived, his career might have followed the same trajectory as Conyers or Jackson. |

#10 It's pretty easy to tell. Anyone the left lauds is usually a moral-less scumbag. Any of them The left will never hail a Virtuous person, ever. |

#8 The truth has been out for some time now Many of the real traitors McCarthy was concerned about, and also ignorant of, retired from their positions with the US government & lived off their pensions to a ripe old age, until they moved on to that Gulag in the Sky. We don't don't know who many (or maybe most) of them really were. |

#5 #3 And, if we're going there, I'd like to have truth about Joe McCarthy. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2018-03-31 01:27 The truth has been out for some time now - McCarthy may have been a drunken, paranoid idiot...but he was right. If I may, let me refer you to an amazing book called The Sword and the Shield: The Mitrokhin Archive and the Secret History of the KGB by Christopher Andrew and Vasily Mitrokhin. It is damning enough that some efforts were made to suppress it before publication here and in the UK. Mike |

#2 Perhaps the 50th year mark will herald the release and publication of the FBI secret MLK files. |

#1 Just think - when there actually were communists everywhere you looked in the USA, everyone thought Red baiters were nuts. Now, the anti-anti-communists see Russians everywhere. Yin / Yang? Ouroboros? Stronger dope? |
