67. So when Hillary uses an ex-president to campaign
Sat Nov 28, 2015, 11:42 AM
Nov 2015

For her, is that the same...her hero. Is your issue with heroes dead or a different race.

(She's even helped Bill expunge...flip ... some of his political sins.) FDR would seem a better hero,.

I don't remember anyone calling MLK slick Marty, Bill is no MLK, to be sure.

Bernie had been taken to task for daring to use MLK's name or image. Whose name now should he be using to be PC enough? Dead or alive. Just curious.

People are starting to try to say that Bernie is somewhere near Dr. King and the heir to his legacy. bravenak Nov 2015 #95
Oh, haven't heard that but wish you well with your libdem4life Nov 2015 #103
That's what's so irritating to me: King didn't endorse candidates *when he was alive* Recursion Nov 2015 #138
