The image of Fox News wrapping themselves in the mantle of MLK is beyond nauseating. They weren’t invoking MLK when they were covering (and pretty much lauding) Cliven Bundy, now were they?

Unless you’ve read AT LEAST one of Dr. King’s writings (we can start with Letter from a Birmingham Jail) you have no business ever invoking his name, especially in any current events contexts. These people know the I Have a Dream speech (and probably that one line about character towards the end) but I bet 10 out of 10 of them don’t know the full name of the rally where he gave that speech.

Fox whine: The Ferguson police are faithfully playing the part of MLK’s contemporary opponents, so why aren’t the 2014 protestors playing an equally authentic reenactment of the late 1950s and early 1960s?

Good FSM, King was all for non-violent protest, which is what almost all the people protesting the cops are doing in Ferguson.
The stupidization of Fox and their viewers marches ever onward.

Shorter Foxwhistle: Nothing a few fire hoses and attack dogs wouldn’t cure.

Is Hannity going to cosplay Bull Conner tonight?

Seems to me that Ferguson’s cops were also forgetting MLK’s message. It didn’t just apply just to people of a “common continental origin”.

Please excuse the Ferguson protesters for having forgotten Martin Luther King’s message, but he spoke the words 50 years ago and this shit is still happening. How much longer, Fox News?
The irony, of course, is that black people don’t watch the lilly-white “FOX and Friends” unless they’re forced to.
YUP! Sean Hannity even called the gun-toting Bundy a “nice guy”.

Thank God we have rich white people at Fox News to whitesplain the message of Dr. King to the benighted negros of Ferguson. It proves they’re totally not racist or in any way complicit in stirring up a sense of racial grievance among old angry white people for cynical political advantage.

Fox, where outrage is reserved for real victims…the wealthy elite.
So what violence by the protestors am I missing?
