Comments on: Forty Years Ago http://belowthebeltway.com/2008/04/04/forty-years-ago/ I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Tyler Ballance Fri, 04 Apr 2008 13:08:50 +0000 http://belowthebeltway.com/2008/04/04/forty-years-ago/#comment-201805 I was around when Marchin' Lootin' King gave his speeches and watched as he incited the Negroes into acts of violence, mostly directed at Jewish business owners who had long served the Negro neighborhoods. I encourage anyone who has the time, to view unedited videos of King. I recommend the unedited videos, so that one may recognize King's careful selection of phrases designed to incite, and his darkly artful use of the double entendre. An honest review of correspondence and meetings between political leaders (Johnson, Kennedy, etc.) and King, along with a review of the unedited speeches given by him, expose how King was masterful at cloaking his racial extortion in rhetoric of the civil rights movement. It is not sufficient to see edited versions of films, or read text of the speeches. When one sees the unedited videos, the sidewards glances, the inflection of his voice and other non-verbal gestures to his audience, expose the real King; just another corrupt Negro preacher, who preyed upon the emotions of the moment to enrich himself. Once someone has passed away, I believe it is best to not speak ill of them. However, one should not allow a myth to supplant the truth as has been the case with King's story.
