There's no question that Martin Luther King Jr. was not a supporter of the Soviets.
There's equally no question that Martin Luther King Jr. was incredibly far-left.
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that you guys would call him a communist, if he was alive today.
No I wouldn't. You can't just sit there and make assumptions about me like that Doc. I never thought he was a communist to begin with! So are we changing our story now? First "he is a communist for all intents and purposes" becomes "well you guys would call him a communist, if he was alive today." I cannot stand when someone paints with such an overly broad brush, or when he moves the goalposts.
You're right, I shouldn't assign values and opinions to you. I apologize.
I'll re-word.
I feel that if he was alive today, MLK Jr. would be considered a "communist" using the same criteria that Obama is considered a "communist".
Because there's no question that MLK Jr. was miles to the left of Obama.
Apology accepted. All is forgiven.
But please do explain in detail what you mean by "he is miles to the left of Obama."
