FreeRepublic's take on MLK, truly sad
To be fair, a few members have posted defenses of MLK and his Vietnam stance, but most are just calling him a commie and it's truly digusting.

10. Nor will I. And what the fuck is a "Commie"? Do these idiots have any
Edited on Mon Jan-17-05 08:45 PM by LaPera

idea, or just what they were told? And what were MLK positions that these freeps could even consider him a "Commie"? A word tossed around which they know nothing of.

5. The real reason MLK was assassinated had little to do civil rights stance
but mostly to do with his Viet Nam stance. You must read MLK's speech on Viet Nam. I was just amazed when I read it and listened to the audio. He completely and clearly understood the darker side of America and could explain it in terms that allowed the intellectually unwashed to understand it also. That is why the "powers" had to kill him. He could even make a Freeper understand how they are cannon fodder.

People in my family, who are mostly conservative, still respect him. One or two might not but most of us do.

Here is a link to the speech if you are interested. It's important for all people to understand what he is saying.

6. Why do I click on the freepuke links? Every time I go there from one of
these links, I just get sick and puke all over my keyboard and monitor.
Those people are just repulsive and it makes me sick that I breath the same air as those morons. And they claim to be right? WTF!
:wtf:
