#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?

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

#3 And, if we're going there, I'd like to have truth about Joe McCarthy.

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.

#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.

#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.

#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.
