MLK would have supported Bernie Sanders just like Bernie Sanders supported MLK at the JDPriestly Nov 2015 #52

No ... But I think we can agree that twisting the legacy of any civil rights leader ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #53

So, Killer Mike is kind of sick? Lot's of white Hillary supporters have been telling him similar Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #55

Not getting to the veracity of KM's statement ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #119

"Dead civil rights leader?" Is that all he is to you? senz Nov 2015 #54

Apparently, he has no living legacy to any of us. Each movement must be born in a bubble. Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #56

I remember him. He inspired an entire people to insist, senz Nov 2015 #60

Is there evidence that Sanders marched with MLK Jr. in August 1963? ucrdem Nov 2015 #65

He never said he "marched with King" not once ever. He said he went to the March on Washington. Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #70

He says it right here: ucrdem Nov 2015 #189

Really? I'm not a fucking idiot. You posted a still from a video that was NOT produced by Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #190

Surrogates are part of the campaign. nt ucrdem Nov 2015 #191

In another post that person claimed that Bernie said he marched with King: beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #138

Yes, I saw that. BeanMusical Nov 2015 #140

Claiming that Bernie marched with King is "swift boating"? ucrdem Nov 2015 #170

Implying that he lied about his participation in the movement is swift boating. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #175

What participation? And Kerry was not a spectator pretending he served; he DID serve. ucrdem Nov 2015 #176

He was asked about gun control - which he has always supported. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #116

You are right. The Republicans, each and every one of them, are worse than Senator ... Tortmaster Nov 2015 #164

Heads up: Sanders apparently did NOT march with MLK Jr. in 1963, or ever. ucrdem Nov 2015 #172

He never claimed he did. Continuing to suggest that Sanders SAID HE DID, is one big giant fat lie. Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #194
