MLK wasn't loved by the mainstream either.

In 1967 King gave a speech titled "Beyond Vietnam," which Time Magazine denounced as "demagogic slander that sounded like a script for Radio Hanoi." The Washington Post said "King has diminished his usefulness to his cause, his country, his people."

Hmmm... where have I heard something like that recently? Oh, yes!
Sounds like something Romney Said to Paul in the last debate:

"I think Congresman Paul should not be reading as many of Ahmadinejad’s press releases"



It just goes to show, on this day of well deserved media adoration for Dr Martin Luther King, that sometimes the message is overlooked in the hype. I doubt CNN will run a bit on his anti-war stances, or mention how closely they are echoed by Dr. Ron Paul.

It should also give us pause to take time and meditate on the future.. How will they view Dr. Ron Paul in 30 years? And the people who stood with him in the early stages of the constitutionalist revolution? They may certainly remember him for changing how political campaigns are run, or for fund raising. He will be remembered for starting a new movement for limited government and liberty. Will the anger and vitriol of the mainstream aimed at the humble Dr. Paul be remembered when their documentaries are made?

Will you remember that you never lost hope and never stopped supporting Ron Paul?
