March divides followers of Martin Luther King
http://www.ajc.com/news/content/metro/1204/11march.html

They marched along Auburn Avenue, through one of Atlanta's most-storied neighborhoods.

About 50 counter-demonstrators lined the street, singing, "In the name of Jesus, hate has got to go."

And so it went Saturday morning, as Eddie Long, one of Metro Atlanta's influential black pastors, led a march from the King Memorial to Turner Field calling for a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.

During the march, Bernice King, youngest daughter of the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and an elder of the New Birth Missionary Church, one of the largest in Atlanta, walked arm in arm with Long, the church's senior pastor, and his wife.

2. Yup
Edited on Sat Dec-11-04 12:16 PM by Charlie Brown
Her mother opposes the amendment(s), though.

Bernice spoke against the civil unions bill in New Zealand back in Oct. saying of her father:

"I know deep down in my sanctified soul that he did not take a bullet for same-sex unions."

4. MLK Must Be Spinning In His Grave!
> "I know deep down in my sanctified soul

What's all this hate doing in your "sanctified soul"?

> that he did not take a bullet for same-sex unions."

He took a bullet for civil rights. Everyone's civil rights.

5. Thank You Brother Martin for being there with the 50 counter demonstrators
And Thank You Brother Bayard for blowing in through the damp morning air and putting out that flame the haters lit off Martin's tomb before they got to the stadium. I know it was you that blew out that flame. Thank You.

Martin it's sad, so sad, to hear that your youngest daughter turned out the way she did. I don't know if she ever heard you speak or ever marched with you. But if she really listens to you and lets you guide her, she'll change.

6. This is what we're dealing with, folks...
This is why it's hopeless. We live in a world where vast numbers will sign their own death warrant to protect some imagined piece of turf. This is why it's a cinch for the Powers that Be to implement their life-crushing stratagems.

8. Rev. Timothy McDonald / African-American Minister's Leadership Conference
Points out that the same pastors who are on the gravy train receiving Bush's faith-based funds are the ones pedaling this hate-based campaign against gays.

7. Well, here we go again playing the gopiggy's stupid
Once again we've allowed a none issue to divide and conquer
with the lame wedgies.

This pisses me off about how stupid stuff completely takes
over the common sense of good, but gullible liberals, so we
don't expose the gopiggies assault on our lives and liberty.

People need to get with the program, and stop this silliness.
Damn. Jobs, health care, social security, Patriot act??

HELLO????????

We got plenty of time to debate marriage for petes sake. FOCUS

9. I agree it's a red herring, but then...
...so is anything that's not confronting the treasonous, usurping criminals head-on, and frames, through phony elections, etc., monstrous crime as "politics".

However, I'm not sure why we're to blame for this incident. People were not marching for gay marriage. They were marching *against* it. Among their ranks was the "heiress" of a supreme civil rights legacy.
