Nobody Owns MLK

“By telling conservatives that their fight is as difficult and just and noble as those against slavery, segregation, and Nazism, the GOPers are not only endorsing conservatives’ fight, they are also casting themselves as the next Lincoln, the next FDR, or the next MLK that history will require to overcome tyranny.”
Um, dear. MLK, the Abolitionists, the reconstructionists and integrationists were THEMSELVES GOPers. The slavers, segregationists and jailers of MLK were the Democrats. Nazism – coin toss, but lets talk about Communism.
Oh, and the hypocrisy of appropriating MLK: http://thenewblackmagazine.com/view.aspx?index=477
It isn’t so much the right ‘hijacking Rev. King as rescuing him from the SSM hijackers.
