Why is a thread about Mr. King polluted with the political meanderings of today's politics?
Slap happy you are right... my bad. I got sucked into pointing out that McCain, a candidate for President, was a force against recognizing Dr. King when it counted. The holiday was dedicated to reflect on the struggle that the black man has experienced, at the hands of ignorant, ungodly, racist people and our government. King facilitated the illumination of the dysfunction, and was willing to give his life for such a divine cause. There is absolutely nothing divine about anybody or anything that is in an alliance with Bush or his cronies.
The rest of the stuff you post, comparing McCain to Martin Luther King, is complete Bull. Martin Luther King is respected around the world, from all races and cultures, for his contribution to all of humanity. McCain is just another Redneck that went once or twice to a designate Black Church in order to claim for political purposes, that he now stands shoulder to shoulder with Martin Luther King. I wonder how Vietnam feels about comparing him to Dr. King. BTW, Vietnam was a mistake. We had no business over there killing those people in the first place. Again, McCain is no Noble Peace Prize winner, and never, ever will be. His morals would never pass the smell test, nor would they come close to that of Dr. King.
