Subject: RE: BS: History of US radical religious right
I was wondering if MLK was a Republican so I started searching. I found a site that happily reported that the was. Then I saw on that site that the FBI had taped him having sex etc. How juicy. I was going to find the evidence and post a big expose featuring the indisputable words of Rev. Aberbnathy.
After reading and reading and reading I found out it is all horseshit propaganda. Abernathy never said it. He seems to be a good guy and King does too. He does cast aspersions on some others like Jesse Jackson.
J Edgar found there were some former Communists among MLKs associates so he requested permission from RFK for surveillance.
This caused friction between MLK and the Kennedys.
Whatever the FBI taped has been sealed in the National archives until 2027 and those reports of what was in the tapes seem to be pure speculation and rumors that got legs.
