Not the best way to “rock the vote”
This found via Conservative Grapevine and Blake Ross
MTV’s Rock the Vote is honoring Martin Luther King day by linking to MartinLutherKing.org, an ostensibly historical site that quickly devolves into hate speech if you click any of the links. It’s run by Stormfront, a white supremacy group. Did RTV even visit the site before linking to it, or does a pretty graphic link pass for honoring someone these days?
Update: It’s fixed now, and RTV has posted about it (in brief: it looked real and it was ranked highly on Google).
Here is the apology from I guess the moron who made the mistake.
Last night, Rock the Vote made a mistake. In honor of Rev. Martin Luther King’s birthday, we created a tribute from the RtV front page, as we have done every year for quite some time. To identify the external link, our webmaster searched Google and chose one of the top results, a website that, at a quick glance, appears to be a tribute to Dr. King with speeches, photos and a special emphasis on the holiday (martinlutherking.org - but don’t go there). But appearances (and, apparently, popular results on Google) are deceptive. The website is a racist site that disrespects Dr. King and insults all of us who cherish his advocacy for justice. On behalf of RtV, I would like to extend our deepest apologies for this mistake. The link was immediately corrected.
Who the hell are they kidding?
This MLK.org has been a racist site for quite a while now.
You see this just adds to my disgust of left wing morons who only pay cursory attention to MLK and his accomplishments.
Do you actually believe that this bastard would link to a site and not know the content?
Go to the site, it does not take you long to figure out that it tis not very complementary of MLK.
Now unless you have a significant reading disorder how would you not see that?

Un-freaking-believable! The person who posted that link could not have even visited that page - it was too obvious what it really was even from a cursory look.
If you get a chance, check out the comments on the “apology page.”

You may not like who runs the site martinlutherking.org, but everything on the site is FACT. Underreported and ignored by the media, it’s still true. Research for yourself.
Michael King (”MLK”) was neither a valid Reverend nor did he truly earn a valid Doctorate…. he cheated, plagiarized, partied with prostitutes and lied his way through life.
One thing that is TRUE about King is he was a White-hating communist who did not believe in salvation through Jesus Christ.
MLK was a fraud.
