Once again, the Democratic Party.\u00a0 Robert Kennedy was the attorney general; he ordered this surveillance of Martin Luther King.\u00a0 And everybody blames J. Edgar Hoover for this.\u00a0 But, in this case, it was actually Bobby Kennedy.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. This is Vince. It\u2019s great to have you, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Mr. Limbaugh, it\u2019s an honor to speak to one of the greatest men in this generation. Thanks for having me on. My question is this. With all the information coming out about Martin Luther King, do you think the left will use this as an opportunity to turn on him? Because, if you study King, fundamentally his message is one of religious conviction and about each individual person coming from God, like you speak about. And the left, that\u2019s completely contrasting to the left\u2019s modern message. Do you think the left will use this to neutralize and dismiss King?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, the initial reaction to your question would be, “No way. They got way too much invested in Dr. King. They\u2019re never, ever gonna turn their back for obvious reasons.” However, there\u2019s a — what would you call it? — generational shift. And to Millennials and others, some of the defining and tent pole identities and characteristics of, say, the Democrat Party, the civil rights movement, are not nearly as valuable or valued or heavy as they were to previous generations.<\/p>\n
However, the left and the Democrats have already moved on from what Dr. King really believed in and who he really was long ago. Dr. Martin Luther was known for many things, but one of the most profound things he said in that great “I have a dream” speech was that he looked forward to a day where his kids and everybody would be judged on the content of their character, not the color of their skin.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Well, the Democrat Party has at no time embraced that. They\u2019ve erased that. They have erased that from what Dr. King said. They have totally reconstructed what Dr. Martin Luther King believed in, starting with his devout Christianity, his devotion to Christ. They have totally remade the image of Dr. King. The Democrat Party has become exactly what he hoped to overcome. They have become wedded to and embedded in racial identity and sexual identity politics. The content of one\u2019s character is of the least consequence.<\/p>\n
The current iteration of the Democrat Party doesn\u2019t even want to see people as different and individualistic enough to even make judgments on character. The Democrat Party is grouping people according to various other things, like victim status, racial status, sexual orientation, sexual preference, bathroom preference, you name it.<\/p>\n
I think that they have already successfully remade, if you will, the image or message of Dr. King to the point that there\u2019s no reason to have to abandon it or him. They\u2019ve already turned him and his memory into a message tailored for their modern-day beliefs. And he was nowhere near what they have made him out to be. So there\u2019s no reason to cast him aside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
