You can find similar speeches on Youtube even. Those speeches by King are quite popular I believe and yet the news media doesn’t pick that up?!

It’s rank anti-intellectualism, the open discouragement from critical thought, that’s driving this hypocritical meme about Rev. Wright.

I remember that speech by Dr. King. The next line is, “and put it in the hands of a people that don’t even know my name.”

Move on is circulating a petition to stop the vicious media reporting against Obama. Check it out:

Reporters like NBC’s Tim Russert focused on the “Reverend Wright controversy” only after FOX and other right-wing media did. It happens over and over: FOX airs a right-wing smear and the mass media repeat it. Film director Robert Greenwald just released a short video called FOX Attacks Obama: Part 2 which shows how it happens.

We are launching a petition demanding the big networks stop parroting FOX and distracting Americans from real issues. We’ll hand-deliver your signatures to major media outlets next week. Watch the video, and sign the petition, here:

Rikyrah:

Girl, you know that "context" is too much for Joe Willie to handle, let alone comprehend. /snark

They only know how to use the word to explain away a mess caused when inserting their feet into their mouths.

Et tu, Andrew Cuomo?

I rest my case. I was about six at the time King made that speech because my father was cheering.

That cheering turned to cussing at the response to it, especially from the Handkerchief Heads who are quoting Dr. King left and right, and would fool you into thinking they actually marched and took beatings right along with him.
