Republicans decide the BEST way to honor Dr. King's legacy is to have a pissing contest on Fox News

Reverend Al was talking about this earlier today. I doubt any of them will get the irony, and if they do, they already don't care.

Republican Debate Tonight: GOP Candidates Facing Off Ahead Of South Carolina Primary



http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/16/republican-debate-tonight_n_1209208.html

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — The Republican presidential contenders on Monday campaigned their way into the first of two debates before a pivotal weekend primary in South Carolina, with Mitt Romney savoring an endorsement from the latest campaign dropout and his pursuers struggling to emerge as the race's principal conservative.

Hours before the debate, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman withdrew from the race and announced his support for Romney despite their differences. He appealed to all remaining contenders to stop attacking one another.

There appeared little likelihood of that happening, either in the TV commercials, mail and other advertising blanketing the state ahead of Saturday's vote or, possibly, on the debate stage itself.

Romney wasn't present for Huntsman's endorsement, and Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry and Ron Paul all but ignored it as they sought to slow the front-runner's momentum in the race to pick a Republican rival to President Barack Obama this fall.
