            Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the great American orators.

            Let's keep the memory of him alive.

              Wrong. In his last year he oved substatially to the left, in effect becoming a socialist. His Poor People's Campaign was about effecting a radical redistribution of economic power: for poor Blacks, poor whites, poor Hispanics, poor Indians, etc. I don't think it's a coincidence that it is during this phase of his political evolution that he was killed.

                It's amusing how neo-Confederates can profess admiration for Martin Luther King Jr.

                  Once you're dead, you're no longer threatening. If King were alive today, he would be as reviled as Sharpton and Jackson by those on the right. But now they can pick and chose from his words, ignore the King they don't like, and appropriate him for their goal of white supremacy.

                        True -- part of studying historiography, is learning how past revolutionaries take on entirely different personalities from who they actually were, after they have died, by those who interpret them this way, or that way.

                          Your capacity to sound like an afterschool special never ceases to amaze me.

                          BTW, did y'all see the PBS documentary on King's later years last night? Pretty good, I'd say.

                            It amusing to me that you epitomize the same intolerance you try to lay off on other people, MF.

                              Did King write his own speeches (it seems unlikely) ? Whether a hero or villain, the speeches were brilliant.

                                I know that he did have a speech writer (apparantly Hoover found out that one such person used to be a commie), but I don't know how many of King's speeches were written by other people.
