As I recall, attributing what he wrote or said to the original source was not one of MLK’s strong points. So, I guess this confusion is partially understandable.

“And Betty Crocker coined the phrase ‘Let them eat cake’!”

LOL!

Myths and lies? Whattchya talkin bout, Willis?

Everybody knows The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior was a water-walking Democrat Saint, who worked tirelessly for the rights and dignity of all downtrodden poor people of all races everywhere, while remaining a good, hard working and faithful family man, who never even looked at a woman other than his revered Coretta; and who personally recruited Mother Theresa for the work in India....

Like to know where the rug was made? China maybe??

Just watch, if we get a Republican in there in 2012, they won’t have the balls to replace it.

I don't know about that. I'm visualizing a nice polar bear pelt in the Oval Office, and I don't think the socialist's decor would coordinate well:

The leaders of the flat earth society speaks...”we’re wrong and stupid, but its OK cuz we’re still right”.

I'm surprised they didn't credit Joe Biden with the quote . . .especially with his history of plagiarism.

[BulletBobCo]

They lie like a rug.

[norwaypinesavage]

Equal opportunity plagiarism, or just overlooking a "mistake" by an affirmative action president?

Robert Gibbs needs to be drug-tested. :)

Revisionist history is a pillar of the democrat temple.

“It was not us that thought he said it, it was many people that believed — rightly so — that he said it,” press secretary Robert Gibbs said.”So, now that I’ve said it
YOU will believe it and rightly so!”

I heard that King even said that he was quoting somebody else and he wasn’t the source at the time.

[Iron Munro]

Truth doesn’t matter anymore with people like The Dweeb.

If they feel like it’s the truth that’s all that matters.

[Nosterrex]

I hope that when we elect a legitimate POTUS that rug is the first thing to go.

"It was not us that thought he said it, it was many people that believed — rightly so — that he said it," press secretary Robert Gibbs said.

Wow. Defending the admin's incompetence with bad grammar. Par for the course.

I would feel sorry for Fibbs, having to constantly make extraordinarily contorted excuses for the off-prompter Zero, but he is such an arrogant, smug little twit I am thoroughly enjoying Satan’s sick humor for making him the court jester of Obama’s klutzy kingdom.

Lying is so second-nature for these asshats that they can’t just say “Oops”, and admit a simple error n
