A telegram from Martin Luther King

In the wake of the Birmingham bombing
Moral degeneration is right. I wonder what all the Fox folk who fatuously claim that MLK was a right winger think of that. Of course, they’ll say Wallace was a Democrat. Which he was at the time, just like all the South. But the Democratic Party leadership decided it no longer wanted to pander to such racists in the mid-1960s once and for all and the GOP eagerly welcomed them in to their party.
There is no argument in the land more idiotic than the one that has Republicans screaming that the racists were all Democrats.
