Another holiday celebrating the birth of a religious leader (and another also considered 'radical' in his day for his ideas), and all our local department stores are having sales through Monday but not mentioning the name of the holiday in their print ads this weekend! Guess the conservative radio talk hosts like O' Reilly & Limbaugh will be ranting about this on their shows Monday! (lol)

Oh please.....
Rosa Parks is the real leader....MLK co-opted and stole the spotlight from her.
Only problem is that she didn't get shot and killed.

The War Against MLK Day!

Don't count on it. Limbaugh has a history of opposition to MLK Day even being a holiday all the way back to his early days when he was defending former Arizona governor Evan Mecham for, among his more sordid activities, his refusal to approve of MLK Day.
Hannity, back on his old radio show on WABC, treated MLK Day as a state's rights issue, claiming that federal government efforts to impose the holiday on the states was abuse of power.
Most of that crowd will ignore the holiday or make passing mentions of it. The rest of the media will continue to overplay his "I've Got a Dream" clips, but ignore his many other speeches which dealt with issues like unwarranted war, overspending on the military while underspending on social programs, the lack of progress on civil rights, and non-violent committed civil protest.

Re: The War Against MLK Day!
Hmmm.. The War on MLK Day.. imagine yourself being greeted at Walmart with "Happy Civil Rights Day". THEN it will be a War on MLK Day. Right now it's just a skirmish.

Re: Another Holiday?
Martin Luther was a religious leader. Martin Luther King was a civil rights leader. When you say "another holiday celebrating the birth of a religious leader" are you referring to the only such holiday (December 25th) and comparing Martin Luther King to Jesus?
King was not considered radical. SNCC, CORE and the Black Muslims were considered radical. King was referred to in his day as a "moderate."
Because of Martin Luther King day, Lincoln's Birthday was dropped as a legal holiday. Lincoln's influence on history is argueably greater. And Lincoln may even have more in common with Jesus (he was killed on Good Friday).
Largely ignored by the media is the fact that today is Ben Franklin's 300th birthday. Again, this is another person of greater historic significance. (For the record, I am wearing bifocals as I type this.)
MLK Day is just another day off for postal workers, teachers and others on the public payroll with politically influential unions (and for bankers). Proof of the squeaky wheel theory: Italians get a holiday (Columbus Day). Vets get a holiday. So, Coretta Scott King wants a Black holiday and the politicians cave and give it to her (and government employees get another paid day off).
As Celt I ask, why isn't St. Patrick's Day a legal holiday? Our homeland invaded. Our people starved to death. Our ancestors subject to discrimination when they came to this country. But then we don't whine about all that all the time, and demand our own holiday, our own Celtic History Month, reparations and Celtic affirmative action.
Celebrate King's birthday on his actual birthday and stop observing it as a Monday-only holiday (as was done with Veteran's Day) and see how many people make a big deal of it then.
No disrespect here for Dr. King. I strongly suspect he would not have thought much of this holiday either.

Move to Savannah, GA. It's a holiday there. EVERYTHING is closed. Heck, even the radio stations are shuttered for the day to drink.

Mike Gallagher never ignores the MLK Day. Last year on MLK Day, he spent an hour speaking on how ridiculous it is to take the day off due to MLK Day. This year, Gallagher spent an hour discussing the fact that MLK was not a saint due to his affairs and he should not be honored as one.
Yesterday, Mike Savage also spent time on the MLK Day subject. He spent much time discussing the shameful plagarism tactics from the MLK family.
Larry Elder also discussed how contrary the New Orlean mayor's "Chocolate City" remarks were to King's "I Have A Dream Speech." Elder was also engaged in several heated debates with some of the angry New York listeners of WWRL-AM 1600. He basically told them to quit whining and take responsibility of their own actions.
James Dobson's "Focus on the Family" aired a recorded speech from Star Parker in the honor of MLK Day. Ms. Parker is a black woman, who turned from a liberal (do what I want to do)lifestyle to a moral Christian conservative lifestyle and she also spoke on personal responsibility.
Sean Hannity also compared Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech to the message Al Gore and Ray Nagin. He illustrated the contradictions between Dr. King's peech with that of Gore's and Nagin's. It seems to me that the Dr. King day was not ignored by talk radio. Instead, it ws presented from a more challenging perspective.

How About Larry King Day
Write your congressman. Declare the Monday before Thanksgiving "Larry King Day," a legal holiday.
This is a holiday for employees of licensed radio and TV stations only. Teachers, postal workers, government and bank employees much report. People in broadcasting take the day off (or get double time).
In honor of Larry King Day:
All broadcasters wear suspenders.
Interviewers must actually ask "interested" questions, listen to the answers and let guests/callers talk.
Stations air a five and a half hour tribute to Larry King from midnight to 530 am with highlights from his Mutual radio program (1978-1994). Jim Bohannon board ops.
The traditional baked bean dinner is served to recognize those facing the challenge of irritable bowel syndrome and heart attack "survivors" (because beans are good for your heart).
The wearing of Brooklyn Dodger caps or T-shirts is encouraged but not required.
Canadians instead will celebrate the birthday of William MacKenzie King.
A holiday honoring Carole King is anticipated.
Also proposed is Billie Jean King Day celebrated with male-female tennis matches, B.B. King Day honoring America's jazz tradition and Alan King Day honoring the tradition of Borscht Belt comedy.
PS: How can you say MLK Day is ignored commercially when so many stores have sales?

Hopefully Gallagher can withstand his own personal life scrutinized for fidelity, then. Considering the moral crusader crowd is always brought down by either a sex or stealing from the till scandal, they better be careful with those stones in glass houses.
Certain founding fathers also owned slaves and oppressed women and minority rights. Somehow I doubt you'll hear that on conservative talk radio.

First, "liberal" politically does -NOT- mean "do what I want to do." The Christian right likes to paint liberal people as morally loose (see above for casting stones and the problems therein for the Christian morals crowd). They are not. In fact, when it comes to obeying laws and doing what one wants to do, the party currently in power has a far greater problem with that than the liberals do.
Second, Christian conservative and "moral" do not automatically go together either. There is an endless list of these people who have either been scandalized, indicted, jailed, or simply destroyed by their own hypocracy, greed, and shameful doings.

Or rewriting history. I especially enjoyed Fox trying to claim MLK as someone that would be a big fan of O'Reilly and Hannity because of personal responsibility.
Talk about revisionism. If Hannity was on the air during MLK's day, he'd be calling him "shrill, moonbat, crazy, liberal, hateful" as well as a pinko commie for opposing the Vietnam War. You could bet he'd be opposed to Iraq as well, and you know what that means to the Fox crowd.

I demand a Billie Holiday holiday on which we'd listen
to jazz and a Judy Holiday holiday for watching old comedies.
And for old DXers, bring back the Holiday Inn Show for a
Holiday Inn holiday!
And what about Sky King Day on TVLand?

Well, I understood that MLK's communist sympathies
were well documented.
Any experts on the subject?

Met the man only once; had to work with him for a couple of hours
when he did a speaking gig at URI (Univ. R.I., Kingston) back around
1965. Highly probable that Reverend Jesse learned from him how far
ego can take a person. Not at all pleasant to those who worked for
him. I was doing the "engineering" for old-time ABC political reporter
Bill Lawrence who had been following Rev. King around the speaking
circuit. Quite a contrast between what Mr. Lawrence said about MLK
in his broadcasts and what he said about him off-mic. Never heard
a word about "communist sympathizers", though. But not many kind
words either and a projected personality that, had it been allowed to
be seen in front of a camera, might have been perspective-changing
to millions.
