Seriously, why do right-wingers try to claim Martin Luther King Jr as one of them??? |
|
I mean I know he's got some grand niece or other distant relative that uses her relations to MLK Jr and happens to be conservative but outside of that I have no clue. Someone help me out here.

follow him all over because he was thought to be a communist?
They can't have a man of peace and non violent protest and be the way they are. Who in their right mind would ever believe this stuff? Who said this?

3. They are also quick to point out that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, |
|
Even though he opposed slavery and would have been considered a "librul" today.

4. Because honest self-reflection would be horribly painful? |

Much better to think of one's self as one of the good guys.

13. They got him killed - I guess they think that means they own him. |
|
But lately Republicans have been claiming a lot of dead people approve of them.
