Its called "ad hominem" attacks. He routinely uses that "illogical[sic] fallacy" and in fact railed against such tactics in another thread.Alveda is a conservative Christian. That disqualifies her automatically in the lefty mind as having any valid opinion on civil rights. That's the kind of bullshit thinking Poet and his pals try to instill. Works on the feeble minded lefties around here.

That said, Alveda and Bernice are both activists against gay marriage. Which would be the antitheses to what MLK stood for.

Sexual orientation is a choice and a sin against God. Its not at all the same as race or creed.He stood for equal rights for all. He stood against discrimination.
While MLK was far more conservative than most on the left would credit him, I don't think there is any question on where he stood on the topic of discrimination whether it be race/creed/gender/sexual orientation.

Gay marriage has nothing to do with "equal rights" or "discrimination". Gay marriage is not a civil rights issue.
He would not be. He was a Southern Baptist minister.
Martin Luther King entered the Christian ministry and was ordained in February 1948 at the age of nineteen at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Atlanta, Georgia. Following his ordination, he became Assistant Pastor of Ebenezer. Upon completion of his studies at Boston University, he accepted the call of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Montgomery, Alabama. He was the pastor of Dexter Avenue from September 1954 to November 1959, when he resigned to move to Atlanta to direct the activities of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. From 1960 until his death in 1968, he was co-pastor with his father at Ebenezer Baptist Church and President of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
