M.L.K. Sex Orgy???

Hoover? This whole thing wreaks of some tabloid news rag.
Turning the other cheek... how about Hoover's little problem with dressing up in drag?
Not to mention his "boy friend" and partner in crime.
 
According to tapes of the interviews--which ABC plans to reveal Sept. 13 during a two-hour special--Kennedy's displeasure with the civil rights leader stemmed from information Hoover gleaned from secret wiretaps and revealed to the Kennedy family.


Hoover reportedly told the president that King attempted to arrange a hotel orgy while in town for his now-famous March on Washington and Hoover told Robert F. Kennedy that King insulted JFK's funeral.


"He made fun of Cardinal [Richard] Cushing [who issued Kennedy's eulogy] and said that he was drunk at it. And things about they almost dropped the coffin and--well, I mean Martin Luther King is really a tricky person," Jacqueline Kennedy reportedly said.


Caroline Kennedy told ABC's Diane Sawyer that her mother's comments are evidence of Hoover's "poisonous" activities and that her mother admired the civil rights leader "tremendously." Historian Michael Beschloss posited to ABC that Hoover was trying to manipulate the Kennedys to turn against King.

This is not going to end well.
 
(1) This is not a flaw it just makes him more human. The fact that it contradicts his religious teachings just makes him your average preacher.
(2) The information was obtained back then by "secret wiretaps"!!
(3) I thought most of this was old news.
(4) Jacqueline Kennedy might want to take a look at her late husband if this kind of thing botherd her. If stories are to be believed he had a taste for the women as well.
 
My older sister said she didn't like him because he was cheating on his wife and things. Which I thought was weird because she is more liberal.
 
The FBI was _spectacularly_ racist and insane back then. Hoover was definitely part of it, but they were out and out psychotic bastards who shit on the constitution for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
 
This is all you know to be able to call J Edgar Hoover one of the worst people in US history :

He should be dug up so we can pour liquified shit on his face. It'd be even better if we could somehow bring him back to life so he could experience it directly, but he's the worst of the worst, really.

I hope he's burning in hell with similarly minded people like Himmler, Pol Pot, etc.
 
In undergrad, I had a course with professor Chuck Stone (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Chuck_Stone) who in his own right was a tremendously influential person. He told us a story about how Martin was coming to his office often when he was editor of a paper and he commented to his secretary about it. His secretary laughed at him and said he wasn't coming to see Chuck; he was coming to see her with the implication that it was for sexual relations.

I firmly believe that those that actually knew the man firsthand were all well aware of his philandering ways but the history books have glossed over those facts to create more of a legend than a man.
