that's funny..whites add race to stuff when it's not a race issue also..but when they do it,it's OK. There are many examples of black people who never mention race and when they try to do something, someone else brings in race...so it's not just certain groups.

Also, can you explain why Hilary brought up MLK in the first place. What was the POINT of her analogy. Why would you compare your OPPONENT to MLK and then proceed to talk about the actions of a president? Explain that...

That statement actually backfires her intent in discrediting Obama. If she's implying that it took a president to bring King's dream into reality, then wouldn't it make sense to give a person who has that dream the legislative power to act upon it?

[truthIsStranger]

She just basically said "authority is freedom."

Did you guys know that LBJ would throw nude parties at the white house?

He had a nasty habit of showing his penis to almost everyone who worked for him. That's almost a quote from one of them. When he was asked why he invaded Hanoi, he said "to prove I had a bigger penis than [Vietnamese name I don't remember]."

Lol so based on that... why do you think he had JFK killed?

Because JFK had a bigger penis! I swear to god, it is almost that simple.

I would challenge anyone to bring to my attention a time when Lyndon Johnson went to jail.

It was Martin Luther King who got Lyndon Johnson to sign the Civil Rights Bill. Johnson didnt care about blacks, he cared about being elected in 1964. This never would have happened if it hadnt been for Martin Luther King. He was the one who constantly went to jail for his cause to end discrimination, not Lyndon Johnson.

Ah..I thought we were remembering MLK today, not LBJ..?

the bill and the dream are to different things!wtf is she talking about!snake ass bitch!

[Jazkiljok]

Uh, yeah it takes a president and legislatures working together to make laws that transforms "words" and "dreams" into realities. WHICH is why Obama is NOT running for the debate team but President of the United States. Clinton's comment has no logic attached to the criticism she's launching. Obama is seeking presidential power with a popular vote mandate to make good on his words- isn't that the whole point of running for President?

[AfricanPrince]

She has a point, Lyndon Johnson doesn't get as much credit as MLK does and he/his administration were responsible for the passing of the civil rights bill

[blubastian]

"Direct action is not a substitute for work in the courts and the halls of government. Bringing about passage of a new and broad law by a city council, state legislature, or the Congress, or pleading cases before the courts of the land, does not eliminate the necessity for bringing about the mass dramatization of injustice in front of a city hall.

Indeed, direct action and legal action complement one another. When skillfully employed, each becomes more effective."

Martin Luther King, Jr

i dont understand why alot of these comments are bashing Hillary, she's not down playing MLK's idea and hope of change through a dream. she's saying his dream is the thought and intentions for change, LBJ is the one who passed the civil rights act, so MLK thought it, LBJ enforced it! no credit taken away from neither.
