You would think from this appropriation of the good name of MLK, that von
Roach admires him. But this is simply a calculated and cynical rhetorical
ploy from a doctrinaire republican, trying to make it look as if he, and his
party, are not racist. How do we know this? Well, because in a current
discussion in another newsgroup, this very Roach tells us that those who
opposed the war in Vietnam are traitors, and indeed, "scum".

Now Von Roach, who is not, for all his other flaws, illiterate, knows full
well that MLK vehemently opposed the war in Vietnam, and did so from the
pulpit and in the streets. So it necessarily follows that Von Roach's _true_
opinion of MLK is that Dr. King was "scum" and a traitor.

QED
