Von Roach, you are dissimulating here. You know as well as I do that Rev.
Martin Luther King, Jr. vociferously opposed the war in Vietnam, and marched
in the streets against it, and spoke against it from the pulpit and podium.

You also know that in another newsgroup you recently said--several times--
that those did these things were "scum" and traitors.

Remember?

So, it follows that you consider Reverend Dr. King to be scum and a
traitor-- unless you were for some reason lying as to your beliefs about
those who opposed the Vietnam war, and I can't see any reason to think that.

So, since your true opinion about Dr. King was inadvertently exposed in the
Vietnam discussion in those other newsgroups, it is fair to ask why you
pretending to admire him, when in reality you have said that anyone who
believes as he did is scum and a traitor. Could it be because Lott and your
fellow Republicans are in danger of exposing the core racism of their party,
which owes its present power to the euphemistically entitled "southern
strategy", i.e, the implicit appeal to white racism for votes in the full
realization that racist bigotry is a more powerful incentive for a certain
class of southerner to vote Republican than their previous poverty was an
incentive for them to vote Democrat?

The party of Lincoln indeed! It is more like the party of George Lincoln
Rockwell, nowadays.
