Well, the African-American museum in DC has opened...

I'd like to see it someday.

BUT...

Some assholes just can't let go of old rumors, and accusations.

Cliff Kincaid wants to know why the new National Museum of African American History and Culture won't have displays on "Unpatriotic black sports figures" or "Martin Luther King Jr.’s womanizing, plagiarism, and communist advisers."

Railing against every media failure to cheerlead right-wing talking points since 1969.

It's easy to find "liberal media bias" when you're so far to the right everything is to your left.

You know, his participation in high treason.

Or ignoring AIDS.

Or of his firing of air traffic controllers that got the corporate mantra of "care for the major shareholders first and only" going and set off waves of firing loyal employees to save bottom lines and enhance stock prices.

Or his enabling of financial pirates to destroy the lives and savings of seniors.

Or being the most scandal-ridden presidency in modern history.

Or allowing Wall Street to dictate American Economic policy and nail-secure it for decades to come.

Or, while during his time as a GE spokesperson, released a vinyl that helped quash the notion of Universal Health Care in America . . . . a position that we still have not veered from, putting us decades behind the industrialized world and making us a laughingstock.
