Tea Party: If Martin Luther King Were Alive, Left Would ‘Spit In His Face’

Posted by | January 20, 2015 14:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Top Stories


“Wild Bill” Finley got big applause when he told a South Carolina Tea party convention that Martin Luther King, Jr. would be one of them if he were with us today.

Finley told the crowd the left has “hijacked” King’s dream and that racism would have died out long ago if it wasn’t “manufactured” by liberals.

He said that MLK, who worked closely with socialist and anti-capitalist civil rights activiststhroughout his career, would not abide the left’s “political agenda.” Finley said that if King were alive today the left would “spit in his face.”

“We are the people who practice Dr. King’s dream,” he said. “It is the Tea Party where people are not judged by the color of their skin, and it’s Tea Party Americans who believe that character still counts.”

“So today, I am officially announcing that the Tea Party is taking Martin Luther King away from the liberal left,” Finley said.

    They wouldn’t even spit in his face. Why would they do that to someone who was actually worth something?

    When Dr. King was alive, the right did spit in his face at least metaphorically.

    these people are unbelievable, a bunch of pathological liars.

    As late as 1966, the White Citizens’ Council teamed up with the virulently anti-Communist John Birch Society to petition the federal government to investigate whether King and over 100,000 other rights activists had Communist connections. Yet King believed that their power was fading: ‘‘Two years ago Americans, in a presidential election, overwhelmingly rejected representatives of Birchism and the White Citizens Council,’’ he said, referring to Barry Goldwater’s defeat by Lyndon B. Johnson. ‘‘It is my honest opinion that this same majority still finds repulsive persons who strive to impose 19th Century standards upon our society’’ (King, 26 May 1966).

      MLK was not a violent man, but I bet he would give me 50 bucks to kick this guys ass. I would feel guilty for beating up someone with apparent brain damage, but this type of damage is self-inflicted so I could justify my actions.

    They REALLY are like the little kid who even as watched him spill the milk, just keeps saying, “No, I didn’t”, “No, I didn’t”, “No, I didn’t”, “No, I didn’t”… And you know the kid could keep that up all day.

    “Wild Bill” Finley proving yet again Conservatives can’t come up with their own ideas so they try and steal or spin Liberal ideas as their own.
