Mike Malloy Accuses US Government of Killing MLK

Earlier this month, left-wing radio host Mike Malloy celebrated the coming of MLK Day by announcing that Martin Luther King, Jr was killed by the US Government for wanting to surrender to communists in Vietnam. Via NewsBusters:

The argument has been made that one of the reasons that the US government assassinated Martin Luther King Jr. was because of his speech at Riverside Church in New York, I think it was Riverside Church, where he came out fully against the war in southeast Asia and fully against the policies that were being perpetuated against the American people in general. He left his little safe niche of, oh, well, he's a spokesman for the Negroes, and stepped outside that and started taking on greater issues and so the United States government said, well, it's time to get rid of this guy.

We've gotten all the good we're going to get out of the civil rights movement. Now even the memory of it is used primarily to sow discord and paranoia.
