Respect to MLK and RFK, the two great hopes for a better wor4ld struck down by 'them' in 1968. Ever notice how it's NEVER right wing leaders who are assassinated by 'lone nuts'? Unless you count the attempt on Reagan, of course, which was very very obviously intended to get the dull-witted puppet Ronnie out of the way and allow the (then) unelectable CIA murderer Bush to take over. Bush's old CIA pals were behind that one, aof course, as they were with RFK.

What a great man! I forget sometimes about this mans greatness, his courage and intelligence--a man certainly wise beyond his years. People today can't begin fathom the courage of this man in taking the stands he took--to openly speak the truth as he does here about Vietnam. Where are our MLK's and JFK's. It's sad to live w/o giants among us! Men of towering foresight and courage as we once had in a time not so long ago.

@buckass So true. An amazing speech. As you say Dr. King was beyond belief in all the qualities you stated and more.
This speech sadly was never aired that I ever saw in those days. The government and much of the media did all it could to paint Dr. King as a traitor. Had it been aired, I think it would have galvanized the anti-war movement even more than it had been at that time.

No disrespect, but forget the "I have a dream" speech, this speech he makes about Vietnam is the most inspiring, heartbreaking and beautiful speech I've ever heard made by anybody ever.
What foresight, insight, bravery, respect and empathy.Truly a beautiful and valiant man, an inspiration for anyone seeking civil rights, like Catholics in the north of Ireland.
RIP MLK

@ChrisDutch @5:14, France is doing it again to its former colony the Ivory Coast, and it sent jets in the air war over Libya....yes, nearly 43 years old...Obama could stand to listen to it a few times...you get the ninth thumbs up from me.

@Leva1234 I'm black. The more I find out about how Obama is continuing the status quo promulgated by Illuminati interests, the more I am convinced that he is really not for the people. Dr. King was really for humanity. All of the research that I've done bears witness to Obama selling out. Obama stands for elite interests and only has a modicum of consideration for the rest of us. The proof is in the pudding.

Rather it will screw the medical companys who profit from the sick and dying. The main reason there is so much anti free-health care propaganda in the media is because it will cost the very rich money. The same people who own large parts the media by the way. If god forbid you need any medical treatment you better hope you have enough money to pay the super rich to recive it or you are screwed. Having a social conscience isn't communism and corrupt capitalism isn't democracy

Take King's speech about Vietnam, take out the word "Vietnam", substitute Iraq or Afghanistan and you don't need to listen to another pronouncement from Washington about our involvement in the Middle East. Those who forget the past are condemned to....oh, forget it.

MLK should know Americans aren't to be bothered with the truth...
The racists who wanted him gone so bad just couldn't stand that this "black" man was so intelligent, and so empathetic, and connected with he human spirit. No matter how hard they tried, they were never able to prove him to be anything but genuine and truly compassionate.
He had the mental and emotional clarity to accurately speak of man's inhumanity to man from the heart, no matter the nationality of the people afflicted. Those against him exhibited child like fits of jealous rage to PEACE!

@textthing If you take the speech from April 4, 1967, cross out Vietnam and substitute Iraq and Afghanistan you don't have to listen to another pronouncement from washington about the phony "War on Terror." The speech is nearly 43 years old and still haunts to this day. Dr. King's voice will reach out from his grave to every person of conscience.
