This time around, Glenn Beck, Fox News’ former baboon-commentator is not around to hijack MLK’s legacy.
He is safely buried somewhere on the Internet after Rupert Murdoch and his chief race-baiter, Roger Ailes — fired the evil, racist conspiracist from their political operation at Fox — last year.
But, Fox still habors lots of Beck wannabe’s and syphilitic liars like Sean Hannity ….and of course, the imbecile who started it all — Bill ‘Osama Bin’ O’Reilly, the quintiessential definition of a narcissist.
Outside of Fox, the bunch of racists, homophobes and gymnastic flip-floppers contending for the GOP presidential nomination — for November’s fight against Obama — have not shied way from the Republican tradition of race-baiting.
One, Newton Leroy Gingrich landed in hot water a couple of weeks ago when he said he wanted to appear before the NAACP and tell them why they should want pay checks over food stamps.
When Gingrich appeared at a town hall at the Jones Memorial AME Zion Church in Columbia, South Carolina, on Saturday, he launched straight to economic issues, offering his “solutions” to create jobs by drilling for offshore natural gas and modernizing the Port of Charleston for when the Panama Canal is expanded, writes: Sarah Posner
The audience didn’t care about Gingrich’s “solutions.” The first question out of the box came from a gentleman who wanted to know, quite simply (to paraphrase), what in the hell was Gingrich thinking when he said that kids should work as janitors?
The questions didn’t let up: will you retract your remark that Barack Obama is the “food stamp president?” (No, because more people are on food stamps under Obama, said Gingrich.) Why do Republicans place all blame for the country’s economic woes on Obama? And a heartbreaking question, from a schoolteacher and mother who recently became homeless, to which Gingrich failed to react like a, um, human. [ READ MORE ]
In Atlanta, Raphael Warnock, senior pastor Ebenezer Baptist Church, blended religion and politics into Sunday’s sermon and took a swipe at Newt Gingrich:
“He is playing an old game that’s part of the southern strategy…I think he’s relying on old logic of scapegoating and race baiting,” Warnock said, while referring to Gingrich’s anti-black “FoodStamp” slur.
The old goat also contesting for the GOP Nomination, Ron Paul — once described Dr. King as a “world-class philanderer who beat up his paramours” and “seduced underage girls and boys.” He even claimed — without a hint of proof — that Dr. King “made a pass at” fellow civil rights warrior Ralph Abernathy, who succeeded King as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC).

“Boy, it sure burns me to have a national holiday for Martin Luther King. I voted against this outrage time and time again as a Congressman. What an infamy Ronald Reagan approved it!” “We can thank him for our annual Hate Whitey Day,” he added.
Dr. King was the leading advocate of social justice and equality during his time. He rejected segregation and worked hard to alleviate economic inequality. He was against the Vietnam war — all wars. Like Obama, he was a “community organizer” — a noble title Republicans have defecated on with rampant abandon.
Republicans collectively stand for the polar opposite ideals. Since the New Deal, Republicans have been on the wrong side of every issue of concern to ordinary Americans; Social Security, the war in Vietnam, equal rights, civil liberties, church- state separation, consumer issues, public education, reproductive freedom, national health care, labor issues, gun policy, campaign-finance reform, the environment and tax fairness. No political party could remain so consistently wrong by accident. [ From EvilGOPBastards.com ]
Wrong on everything MLK stood for!
But, that has not stopped Republican hypocrites from trying to claim MLK as one of them — a stupid conservative bigot.
Even more dis-heartening — is that some punkified, sissified black uncle-toms aligned with the GOP — have been running around carrying the Republican shit-pail — claiming that MLK was one of them. [ READ MORE ]
MLK was no Republican — and Gingrich and co. can harp all they want, …..the vast majority of black people want nothing to do with the Grand ‘White-Power‘ Party.
