12. There is a distortion. Back up the "if unfairly applied" part of your argument.
"Would MLK support the death penalty if it was unfairly applied to blacks? I don't know but Obama does."

Prove it.

You cannot support this conclusion based on Obama's support of the death penalty. (or CLinton, Edwards, or Richardson for that matter)

Obama does support the death penalty, and has fought for legislation to protect the civil rights of the accused so that the death penalty is not applied disproportionately.
