11. He was basically saying that
he saw no reason for everyone to be so up in arms about the seperation of church and state in this current environment because MLK and the clergy were leaders in the civil rights and anti-Vietnam war movements and no one had a problem with that.

It makes no difference to him apparently that the religious right is actually trying to deny rights to a significant portion of the population--gays and women--and that they are bound in an effort to stifle dissent rather than trying to win rights, equality, and to stop senseless slaughter in an illegal war.

If he can't see the glaring difference...comparing the two are obscene!
