Being the first black president isn’t the end all be all for civil rights. It’s not the holy grail. Tolerance and acceptance was.

You and yours are both intolerant to a degree that for you to even mention MLK Jr’s name is an affront to all that really take to heart his message.

Thank you so much for posting this comment — Susan has asked that we run this as an open thread tonight — I hope you will enjoy!

You gave me a much needed laugh in the midst of a very painful and disillusioning election season.

I long ago resigned myself to the annual gaggle of fools who deign to use King’s “content of their character” line from the 1963 March on Washington so as to attack affirmative action, ostensibly because King preferred simple “color-blindness.”

That King actually supported the efforts that we now call affirmative action–and even billions in reparations for slavery and segregation–… matters not to these folks. They’ve never read King’s work, and they’ve only paid attention to one news clip from one speech, so what more can we expect from such precious simpletons as these?

MLK was a conservative in the way of Bill Cosby. He believed people could rise up through hard work.

a lie. i dare you to give a proof.

MLK would be so proud of this hypocrit!

Blacks follow Malcom X who believed AA were stuck in their position no matter what and claim to follow MLK.

Cleveland, OH has a 50% dropout rate. The school system has been bad since the 80’s, but the black leaders who control politics and the city council don’t do anything to help the students. Just look at Dennis Kusinech? record as mayor of Cleveland. He faced all kinds of problems trying to improve the city and City Council was more interested in serving themselves than the people. It is still that way.

The Democrats stood by and watched the Republicans shoehorn one incompetent traitor after another into power, simply because they cheat. It was just a matter of time before the Democrats said “OK, that’s it. We’re gonna beat the Republicans at their own game.”

And they are. That’s what’s happening.

3) capitalism (OK, he was NOT a Marxist or Anarchist, but he still saw a lot in this direction)

In short, MLK was AGAINST everything you guys are supporting here. He was murdered by USA ruling class, the same ruling class which now making Obama prez. Yes, Obama is NOT MLK, but if I were you I would NOT mention MLK at all.

And, by the way, he was not for Israel as well! The “guotation” Zionists like is fake.

So, please, stop such hypocrisy. Were MLK alive, you would call him “commi”, “black racist”, “nazi” and so on

And, he had white “supporters” who tried to tell him how to behave to not disturb whites. He was sitting in jail then, and he answered them such

You deplore the demonstrations taking place In Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations. I am sure that none of you would want to rest content with the superficial kind of social analysis that deals merely with effects and does not grapple with underlying causes. It is unfortunate that demonstrations are taking place in Birmingham, but it is even more unfortunate that the city’s white power structure left the Negro community with no alternative….

We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct-action campaign that was “well timed” in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word “Wait!” It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This “Wait” has almost always meant ‘Never.” We must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that “justice too long delayed is justice denied.”

We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and God-given rights. The nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jetlike speed toward gaining political independence, but we stiff creep at horse-and-buggy pace toward gaining a cup of coffee at a lunch counter. Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging dark of segregation to say, “Wait.” But when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim; when you have seen hate-filled policemen curse, kick and even kill your black brothers and sisters; when you see the vast majority of your twenty million Negro brothers smothering in an airtight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society…”

And so on. The lynch mobs could be a thing of past in USA, but the police murdering Blacks and mass powerty are STILL here. MLK would fight it . You would condemn him. Fair enough. But Obama is NOT MLK, he would NOT fight it. But still, he is not good enough for you. I wonder, why

When I think that this man, who has no authentic qualifications nor accomplishments for the position of the CEO of a company, let alone the President of the United States of America, is the Democratic Nominee, it literally makes me feel ashamed for our country.

John F. Kennedy, who Barack Hussein Obama so fondly likes to compare himself with, would be shocked to find that this pseudo “leader”, this make-believe nominee is this close to being the leader of the Free World.

I’m sure that the John F. Kennedy who loved his country and hated communism, would be appalled to discover that a communist like Obama was mascarading around as a presidential nominee.

No Experience. No qualifications.
No character. No loyalty or love for this country. No Obama. No way. No how.

Sarah Heath Palin is EVERYTHING Barack Hussein Obama wishes he was and pretends to be.

And if you see our police and military forces–whose cooperation would be needed to make a dictatorship work, and whose members are still drawn mostly from the “bitter” white working class–dutifully lining up behind a Whole Foods Nation snob who snuggles up to Rev. GDA and Billy “the Bomber” Ayers, well, your Imagination Fu is stronger than mine.

That was precisely why it was a fantasy!! An ironic one because you and I know in our wildest dreams he would NEVER do anything like that — this is precisely my point.

Senator Obama, is, unfortunately, unwilling to take that kind of risk or pay even that kind of price.

Thank you for commenting.

If Plastic Jesus Obama wins, he is not going to be able to turn the USA into a dictator state even if he wants to do that. If the Chimperor and Darth Cheney couldn’t do it, neither can Plastic Jesus do it.

Oblahma will still be facing a very powerful, well-funded Right-Wing Noise Machine and a GOP that will remain powerful even as a minority party.

And if you can see our police and military forces–which are still mostly drawn from the “bitter” white working classes–getting behind a Whole Foods Nation snob who snuggles up to Rev. GDA and Billy “the Bomber” Ayers to make a dictatorship work, well, your Imagination Fu is stronger than mine.

Hitler 2.0? Castro 2.0? Mugabe 2.0?

Jimmy Carter 2.O would be more like it–a freak accident who got in because the GOP Just. Screwed. Up. That. Bad.

An Obama presidency, if it happens, will galvanize the GOP base and bring the GOP back from death’s door in 2010 and 2012, in a way that a Clinton presidency probably would not do. What in sulfuric HELL were the Democratic bigwigs thinking?

Oh my GOD!

I cannot believe you people.
You are horrible thugs!

Obama is the embodiment of what MLK dreamed of.
The first Black President will show
how far we have come in this world.
Blacks will be equal with all others now.

Shame on you Larry and your gang of
thugs. Shame.

McCain and his racist bimbo running mate Palin will
lose in a landslide come Novebmer 4.

Also, do NOT go to see “An American Carol”.
It is utter right wing garbage.
Much like PUMA is.

==========================================

The only “garbage” and “thugs” in this race are:

Obama
The DNC
The Obots from Camp Obama
Biden
Paid Trolls Like You
The Biased Media
The Sexist Pigs
Uneducated, Blind Sheeple Obama Voters
America Hating Obama Voters
Hollywood Wingnuts
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Harry Reid
Donna Brazile

That’s a start…
