1. KKK meeting
My son had just joked that the RNC looked like a KKK meeting and then that happened and we all fell silent. It really made me sad to hear the applause stop when they showed MLK. Sick Sick Bastards

6. They were sick to show it in the first place
Considering McCain's shameful record regarding honoring Dr. King.

10. Not just that but in that it was the civil rights movement...
...and the GOP's embrace of the Southern Strategy that created the modern version of the Republican Party. How dare they use MLK at all!

9. The Republican Party is a nest of racist vipers. We ought to be
calling them the KKK Party.

Motherfuckers.
