RUSH: Quick question, ladies and gentlemen, should all the statues of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King now come down? Should all of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King boulevards throughout America be renamed?
I ask this because of a story that you can’t find in the Drive-By Media. You cannot find it. It ran over the weekend, but you can’t find it. “Sealed FBI audiotapes allege the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had affairs with 40 women and watched while a friend raped a woman, according to a report.” FBI documents from the sixties… And we don’t doubt the FBI, do we?
These FBI documents from the sixties allege that Dr. King had affairs with 40 woman and stood by as a friend allegedly raped a woman. The biographer David Garrow claimed in memos that King engaged in orgies, solicited prostitutes, and looked on and laughed as a pastor he knew raped a woman. Not a word from the Drive-By Media on this story.
Imagine what they would say if these things were recorded about Reagan or Jefferson or Washington!
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Now, the allegation of the FBI tapes is made by a biographer, Dr. King, David Garrow, G-a-r-r-o-w. He claims to have unearthed tapes that showed Dr. King was involved in extramarital affairs with 40 to 45 women. Let’s see, in whose league would that put him? Clinton? I’m trying to think… Wilt Chamberlain? We’re close. Who am I leaving out here? Oh, the Kennedys. Yeah, how could I forget? Yes. Absolutely.
Garrow, by the way, this biographer, is an American historian and author. His book is Bearing the Cross: Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. He won the 1987 Pulitzer Prize of biographies. The guy is a Pulitzer Prize winner and he claims to have heard these tapes that the FBI has. The article constantly claims the surveillance was ordered by J. Edgar Hoover, but Hoover did not order the surveillance of King. Do you know who did? Robert Kennedy! Robert Kennedy was the attorney general… It was the Kennedys that were trying to defame Martin Luther King.
Once again, the Democratic Party. Robert Kennedy was the attorney general; he ordered this surveillance of Martin Luther King. And everybody blames J. Edgar Hoover for this. But in this case it was actually Bobby Kennedy.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. This is Vince. It’s great to have you, sir. Hi.
CALLER: Mr. Limbaugh, it’s an honor to speak to one of the greatest men in this generation. Thanks for having me on. My question is this. With all the information coming out about Martin Luther King, do you think the left will use this as an opportunity to turn on him? Because if you study King fundamentally his message is one of religious conviction and about each individual person coming from God, like you speak about. And the left, that’s completely contrasting to the left’s modern message. Do you think the left will use this to neutralize and dismiss King?
RUSH: Now, the initial reaction to your question would be, “No way. They got way too much invested in Dr. King. They’re never, ever gonna turn their back for obvious reasons.” However, there’s a — what would you call it? — generational shift. And to Millennials and others, some of the defining and tent pole identities and characteristics of, say, the Democrat Party, the civil rights movement, are not nearly as valuable or valued or heavy as they were to previous generations.
However, the left and the Democrats have already moved on from what Dr. King really believed in and who he really was long ago. Dr. Martin Luther was known for many things, but one of the most profound things he said in that great “I have a dream” speech was that he looked forward to a day where his kids and everybody would be judged on the content of their character, not the color of their skin.
Well, the Democrat Party has at no time embraced that. They’ve erased that. They have erased that from what Dr. King said. They have totally reconstructed what Dr. Martin Luther King believed in, starting with his devout Christianity, his devotion to Christ. They have totally remade the image of Dr. King. The Democrat Party has become exactly what he hoped to overcome. They have become wedded to and embedded in racial identity and sexual identity politics. The content of one’s character is of the least consequence.
The current iteration of the Democrat Party doesn’t even want to see people as different and individualistic enough to even make judgments on character. The Democrat Party is grouping people according to various other things, like victim status, racial status, sexual orientation, sexual preference, bathroom preference, you name it.
I think that they have already successfully remade, if you will, the image or message of Dr. King to the point that there’s no reason to have to abandon it or him. They’ve already turned him and his memory into a message tailored for their modern-day beliefs. And he was nowhere near what they have made him out to be. So there’s no reason to cast him aside.
The Left will revile Rush far asking this, and that’s all.
I’m sorry but this guy needs to put up or shut up. Release the recordings or its just like those rumored JFK/Monroe humping recordings. I’m to the point where hearsay just doesn’t do it anymore. Use the Missouri test for anything a”journalist” or “researcher” says. Show me!
I have read several biographies and history books on MLK, J Edgar Hoover, and RFK. All of them consistently have reported that (right or wrong), J Edgar Hoover was wiretapping and spying on MLK. The stated main concern was that MLK was starting to sound like a Communist during the Cold War. There were also many in government and Congress (mostly racist Rats) who were p*ssed about the civil rights laws being passed by Republicans in the 60’s.
It wouldn’t surprise me if evidence was being collected to eventually expose and discredit MLK. He was not just a civil rights leader but also a married ordained minister.
The orgy participants included men and women in MLK’s political inner circle.
His birthday holiday should be given back to George Washington
Revoke the national holiday in honor of him.
Remove his name from every street, road, school and building in the country.
The Left are hypocrites and duplicitous liars if they don't do it.
ButtPlug wants to do the same things to Thomas Jefferson for owning a slave 200 years ago.
And King wasn't a twice-elected president, a vice president, a secretary of state, the ambassador to France and the author of the Declaration of Independence like Jefferson was.
MLK was just a civil rights leader. Like Obama was a community organizer.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Come on liberals. Put up or shut up.
Keep the street names . That lets civilized people know where to NOT go.
Nothing should be named after a politician until at least 50 years past their death.
“It wouldn’t surprise me if evidence was being collected to eventually expose and discredit MLK.”
And if their -goal- was to stop the civil rights movement by discrediting the leader, it is just as plausible to expect evidence fabrication as collection.
If that seems too unthinkable, the deep state blew off JFKs head the year before.
Do not tear down MLK statues! Erect one of Billy Graham next to every one.
couldn’t stop him so they killed him. He had started to emphasize being against the war and it’s impact on blacks, His informal power and charisma were considered a the threat to some in government.
People say who would actually want to kill him and all I can say is LBJ who had priors.
I like that idea.
If they can erase our little people for little stuff, why can we not erase their Big People for Big Stuff..?
Because too many of our people consider LOSING as conferring dignity, or being a sign of some type of bigger moral triumph.
Yes, LOSING feels good to these GOP guys and it’s more than HALF of all of them.
But a very big part of why they like losing it’s because it feels FAMILIAR to them, like those old Tennies you fetched out of the garbage after your mom put them there.
It is, as Rush has said many times, similar to the role of the Washington Generals, whose JOB is it to LOSE to the Harlem Globetrotters.
Please, don't give the fools any ideas.
That’s a pretty good idea.
And definitely nothing while the pol’s alive, let alone in office.
Well stated.
appeasement got us where we are today! trading a founding fathers birthday for this jigalo, shameful political trickery

The only thing that is holding the USA together is veneration of Saint Martin.
Take that away, we don’t have ten years left.
Limbaugh correctly pointed out the democraps avoided using MLK’s references to the constitutional references to God and those values expressed in it We are all God’s children judging a person for what they are and do. Not by the color of their skin.
