Martin Luther King Jr.CNN Re-airs Two Year Old Glowing Look at Jackson, No Mention of ‘Hymietown’
Open ThreadFor general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Martin Luther King Jr. assassinated 40 years ago today. What were you doing that day, and what do you remember feeling when you heard the awful news? Might race relations have been different today if King was still around? Why hasn't there been a viable replacement in the last 40 years which have instead produced folks like Farrakhan, Jackson, and Sharpton seemingly much more interested in advancing themselves than those they claim to represent? More Obama Lies the Media Will IgnoreUpdate III: Even more Obama lies exposed by his own handwriting! Update II: It was then-Sen. John Kennedy that arranged a grant for a scholarship program to bring Kenyan students to America. The rest remains under question. Update: Video of Obama's Selma Speech When Mitt Romney stated that he saw his father march with Martin Luther King Jr., there was wall to wall media coverage reporting how he had to start backpeddaling. Even after witnesses came forward claiming they had seen his father march with him, the media story of Mitt fabricating the story still persists. NY Times: Obama’s Speech Raises Discussion to Higher PlaneIts been a rewarding yet predictable day as one liberal after another have fallen all over themselves to praise Obama's speech. One of the more outrageous ones was Chris Matthews stating the speech went beyond the "I Have a Dream" speech, and compared it Lincoln. Now the NY Times bows down to Obamessiah as he rises from the ashes.
AP: Fans Flames of Race Hatred With Focus on MLKing/Robert E. Lee Day
With the pointed headline, "Arkansas Lauds MLK, Gen. Lee on Same Day," and reminding us that King is a "slain civil rights leader," the AP wags a finger and lets us know about the confluence of celebration of the two men's birthdays. MSM Forgets That Republicans Remember KingIn a moment that can only be described as journalistic amnesia, the NYT forgets to mention that Republican candidates remember Dr. King. The NYT had three stories on the section of their site designated for U.S. news, reporting how the presidential candidates honored Martin Luther King, Jr. The first story discusses the three Democratic candidates - Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards - and their appearances at various black churches on Sunday. Each candidate makes determined efforts to woo the African-American vote, while mentioning Dr. King. The second story discusses the three Democratic candidates again, and how they chose to honor Dr. King today at various memorial services.
So were the Republican presidential candidates even aware of today's holiday honoring Dr. King? CBS’s Smith: Most Blacks ‘Feel Discrimination’; Wonders ‘Is This the America We Live In?’
This is not the first time Smith has seen America as a racist country, as he did in the wake of the Jena 6 controversy. One wonders where prominent conservative black leaders were for this segment, like former Maryland Lieutenant Governor, Michael Steele. Also, not even Smith’s liberal guests were willing to go as far as Smith. Fenty replied to Smith in a way beyond any particular race: AP Talks MLK's Forgotten 'Complexity' Forgets his Plagiarism & Communist Ties
But, even as the AP argues that we should learn more about the whole of MLK's life and take a more measured look at his life and works, the AP itself whitewashes several aspects of his real life. AP never mentions, for instance, his ties with communists nor do they mention Dr. King plagarized parts of his doctoral thesis. They don't mention his distrust of capitalism nor his support of the concept of special treatment and quotas, an idea that strays from his acclaimed position of "equal" treatment. So, the AP may want us to avoid putting Dr. King "on a pedestal of perfection," but it is also a fact that they only want us to know some of King's real record instead of all of it as they claim.
