Don’t You Dare Conflate MLK and Obama

[Summer Hathaway]

24. Ah, yet another man

with the gift of knowing what someone who died 48 years ago would have thought, done, or said today.

"I don't really know for sure because he's dead and nobody can know what a dead person thinks."

A rare moment of clarity on your part - except that you left out the fact that a dead person doesn't think. Therefore, not having any thought processes for over four decades, one would be rather foolish to opine on what those forty-five years of missing life experiences would have resulted in, in terms of thought, deed, or the taking of political positions.

And a "pretty good guess" means squat - whether it comes from you, Mr. Ford, or anyone else who deigns to speak for the dead.

This entire discussion reminds me of Mormons 'baptizing' the long-deceased - just smacks of something eerily distasteful and rather deranged.
