OpEdNews - Page 2 of Article: Republicans claim Martin Luther King, Jr. as their Own

Gee, using the race and sex cards on a writer who didn't even know Rice was black, appealing to emotion and authority, name calling, and acting like a victim constitute all the proof I need that Rice does not engage in questionable scholarship and is a wonderful role model for blacks of what Republican personal responsibility and rationality looks like. Those conservative white southern civil rights loving Republicans should just cherish such a line of defense in that they have never once criticized black Democrats for acting like victims or irrelevantly injecting race to avoid the issue at hand.

So there you have it. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a good Republican, would love George Bush and hate liberals. Don't hesitate. Buy your T-shirt today that reads "Martin Luther King was a Republican." All I would suggest is that the National Black Republican Association throw in a custom line of carpetbags for today's self-serving profiteers.
