I don’t know if anyone has read Juan Williams article on Real Clear Politics outlining the differences between Obama and King. Yep, Obama is no King…
April 4th, 2008 at 12:49 pmGot the link please?

It’s the first article in the morning edition. I think it’s titled Obama and King. Sorry, I’m too old to figure out the link thing. Good article though.
April 4th, 2008 at 1:08 pmThanks, Sweetie!
It links to the Wall Street Journal:

April 4th, 2008 at 1:10 pmMLK was a damn good man. He shook Americas shoulder and woke her up.
April 4th, 2008 at 1:12 pmBlack stuff is really getting tiresome.
April 4th, 2008 at 1:13 pmJohn: What makes this article interesting is that Juan Williams is a black leftist on Fox News. I’ve seen him bend over backwards for many a liberal folly. But not with Obama. He sees through him. That is what is refreshing.
April 4th, 2008 at 1:16 pmJohn,
I hear ya … but I also agree with Irish Gal’s assessment.
Williams, although liberal, uses his brain, recognizes the full context of civil rights and the whole of “black history” in the US, and apparently accepts no tissue-paper tiger in Hussein.
April 4th, 2008 at 1:25 pmWhere are the individuals in this country? MLK was an individual that stood up and stepped out by his own initiative and individuality to do what is right. Anymore the way to get ahead is to attach yourself to someone or something to get a leg up, I call them Klingons and man do they hold you back.
April 4th, 2008 at 1:40 pmIf MLK were alive today do you think he would allow anybody to Klingon to him?
MLK, a republican. I wonder why? I guess he felt he could stand on his own if given an equal opportunity at the American dream. I guess he did not want to wait for a handout program.
April 4th, 2008 at 1:54 pmHis words are valid still.
MLK was a mountain among the foothils and the valleys. If there is a fifth place on Rushmore, it is no doubt whose face should be inscribed.
His voice, thanks to the technology of recording, will rank along with Churchill in the pantheon of orators of truth and greatness.
PS: I’m a typical white person.
April 4th, 2008 at 2:00 pmIrish Gal and Drillanwr, just having flashbacks from my taxi driving days. This too will pass. Just had a nice synapse realignment. Music Choice on the cable just played Beethoven’s 8th and Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. I’m all fixed now.
April 4th, 2008 at 2:15 pmHey, we all snap every now and then … Just that we’re the ones who find our way back … and quick like … Cabbies are given more slack, in my book.
Unlike the left, who are in continual [snap] mode, eh?
Great classical choices, BTW.
April 4th, 2008 at 2:43 pmlol
April 4th, 2008 at 3:24 pmSigh… I wish we had someone like him today
sharpton and jackson are not MLK even though they want to be-we someone like him who was a uniter, not a divider.
April 4th, 2008 at 4:22 pmI think MLK would be pretty disappointed with all of the wasted opportunities, false leaders, liberal poverty traps and opposition to school choice.
April 4th, 2008 at 5:50 pmI think Dr. King would be very disappointed in some of the people that were with him. Jesse Jackson and that crowd.
April 4th, 2008 at 8:16 pmI think Dr. King would want to distance himself from those race-baiters as far as possible.
While what is proclaimed widely n public certainly makes King a great man, some of his lesser known quotes are identical to Wright’s. Are we paying homage to someone who did not exist? Or maybe it is because of all the billboards I saw in the 80’s showing King in a classroom with a number of Marxists listening to the lecturer.
Outside of all that, I do agree that King would be appalled at what those he helped “free” have done to waste the opportunity. Then again there are those who have taken the opportunity and done quite well for themselves, their families and the country.
