MLK: A GAY PEDOPHILE???

VIA HUFFPO:

Ron Paul stands out as the only Republican candidate who stands against the war, but his newsletters, which were published for decades, show a different side which is far from libertarian. Paul has distanced himself from the newsletters which bore his name--claiming that other staffers wrote the offending passages. But check this ridiculous excerpt out.

Martin Luther King Jr. earned special ire from Paul's newsletters, which attacked the civil rights leader frequently, often to justify opposition to the federal holiday named after him. ("What an infamy Ronald Reagan approved it!" one newsletter complained in 1990. "We can thank him for our annual Hate Whitey Day.") In the early 1990s, a newsletter attacked the "X-Rated Martin Luther King" as a "world-class philanderer who beat up his paramours," "seduced underage girls and boys," and "made a pass at" fellow civil rights leader Ralph Abernathy. One newsletter ridiculed black activists who wanted to rename New York City after King, suggesting that "Welfaria," "Zooville," "Rapetown," "Dirtburg," and "Lazyopolis" were better alternatives.
