Go Home Happy Martin Luther King Day!

THE PLANK JANUARY 18, 2008

Happy Martin Luther King Day!

In advance, I'd like to wish everyone a happy Martin Luther King Day. Or, as the Ron Paul Political Report would have it, "The X-Rated Flagrant Plagiarist With a Phony Doctorate And World-Class Philanderer Who Beat Up His Paramours While Seducing Underage Girls and Boys And Replaced The Evil of Forced Segregation With The Evil of Forced Integration" Day!

Did you know that MLK, along with Rosa Parks, is one of Ron Paul's "heroes?"

hee, hee...Kirchick, you are something.  But I like it.  You sure like to fracas with those wacky Paulites.  Hey, can you switch to tormenting McCain or Romney, two serious contenders for the GOP nod...

I'm no media-watcher, but it seems like you were the first person in the national media to expose Ron Paul's awful newsletters, Jamie. Kudos to you. I don't necessarily agree with the conclusions of your blog posts, but you get an A++ for this project.

Ah, jaunty...let Jamie torment Ron Paul and his merry band of unhinged, successionist, neo-Nazi, paleoconservative wingnut supporters. Especially as it seems the major media refuses to do so in any meaningful way. And besides, it's FUN! (And by fun, I mean the kind of fun you feel guilt over months later...)

It's been kinda fun, but also scary. Scary that all these conspiracy theorists really still exist. And that they vote.

I stll say a real wingnut is anybody who thinks The Middle East Wars will be ended by any of the major candidates. Maybe Hillary has a "plan" to end the war like Nixon did. Of course there are no conspiracies. How could anybody even imagine that wealthy and powerful people would get together to to further their own interests at the expense of the poorer and weaker. Wonder if MLK would think more of sending blacks to the Middle East than he did of sending them to Nam.

And those evil conspirators used Ronald Reagan to sign that legislation in 1983.  They used a confused and weakened Reagan to the evil integrationist ends.

Thank goodness Arizona stood up to those federal goons and refused to recognize the holiday.

If the Federal Goevernement Jack Booted Thugs hadn't forced the NFL to move Superbowl XXVII from Tempe Arizona to the Rose Bowl in 1993 Arizona would still be free of this invented Kwanza Style holiday.

John McCain is the only candidate who can stand up to these Integrationinst.  Imagine a Ron Paul & John McCain ticket.  It's a 'No Brainer' against the Democratic Multicultural Coalition currently out in front of the pack.  AndrewSullivan.Com is backing them too.

But the MSM will keep this story quiet for Superbowl XLII.  They don't want any publicity before Super Tuesday.  (Notice the choice of names for the Primary where they try to co-opt that NFL Diversity theme?)  The MSM will just do a story on how Jimmy Carter pardoned all the Vietnam Draft Dodgers 31 years ago and avoid the whole story all together.

Thanks for keeping this story alive.

Well, I guess this board has its share of wingnuts represented here...

A little video for your celebration.

This You Tube video is also found under Freedom 101 and was posted by rx2008 if you want to find the link on your own.

I found it looking for Reagan telling jokes on You Tube.  What a great country.

Isn't searching for "Reagan AND joke" just redundant?

Also: Liz, you need more foil on your helmet.  The NSA influence is still in your posts.  Don't forget to cement the layers together with your own dung.
