This Is to That as That Is to This

Needless to say, Barack Obama's groupie followers want you to believe that he's the living avatar of Martin Luther King, Jr. An' he's gonna be prezdent! It is one of the most crass, ridiculous, and frankly insulting comparisons that I can imagine. Dudes and dudettes, Martin Luther King, Jr. stared down police dogs and fire hoses and went to jail as part of a genuinely radical program. I mean, this dude stood on the steps of the Lincoln memorial, and even as he extolled the necessity of non-violence, threatened an inevitable Negro uprising if some shit didn't fucking change, bitches.

Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights.
This is in the old "I come not to bring peace, but to bring a sword" manner of the Christian messiah, by the way.

Barack Obama snorted coke or something and later admitted it in a book. What a pioneer.

I sense more JFK-type projection than MLK. As you say, King's rhetoric was a little more tangible, like his goals. Kennedy was all gas and noble sounds -- and Obama keeps telling me how he's gonna bring "change".

What I wanna know is, who's Obama's Rat Pack gonna be? George Clooney could fill Sinatra's shoes, I think....

Even though I despise Bush, at least he didn't admit cocaine use. Although you know Bush had better blow than Obama -- only the finest powders for the Veep's son.
