Let's see what naive leftist Busiek has to say for the State of the Union address week. For example:
Trouble is, I've been starting to wonder if "special interest" is just what Busiek's become of recent. He sure isn't helping any with this kind of balderdash.
I guess that means he sees nothing wrong with the Iran deal, which has become particularly atrocious after the cave-in when US sailors were taken hostage. And that's truly awful. What Busiek's said are the kind of commentaries that make one wonder why he spent all that time writing Marvel/DC superhero books in past decades. But then, maybe that's why we're unlikely to see him writing that many more in the forseeable future, if he no longer has faith in the themes he'd written in the yesteryear. Too bad, because many of them were impressive.
He also made the following comments for MLK Memorial day:
That depends on what their mindset and platform is. Because if they turn their backs on serious issues, and he has no problem with that, he shouldn't expect MLK to support the same candidates he is. On which note, Daniel Greenfield's told the following about MLK's positions on Islam:
Donald Trump isn’t free from the sway of special interests. He IS a special interest. You think he won’t favor billionaires & business? Ha.— Kurt Busiek (@KurtBusiek) January 17, 2016OOPS: Donald Trump is a mediocre businessman https://t.co/Ig9yLi3uHH via @MotherJones— Kurt Busiek (@KurtBusiek) January 17, 2016Trouble is, I've been starting to wonder if "special interest" is just what Busiek's become of recent.

The Democratic approach to leadership: "you have to engage in patient persistent diplomacy with people who are not your friends."— Kurt Busiek (@KurtBusiek) January 17, 2016The (current) GOP approach to leadership: “PUNCH EVERYONE ELSE IN THE FACE ALWAYS!

The thing I’d like to say this Martin Luther King Day is that if MLK were alive today, he’d obvsly agree with me about comic book lettering.— Kurt Busiek (@KurtBusiek) January 18, 2016Also, MLK would urge you all to buy THE AUTUMNLANDS and ASTRO CITY, and to support my chosen political candidates.— Kurt Busiek (@KurtBusiek) January 18, 2016That depends on what their mindset and platform is. Because if they turn their backs on serious issues, and he has no problem with that, he shouldn't expect MLK to support the same candidates he is. On which note, Daniel Greenfield's told the following about MLK's positions on Islam:
"When Cassius Clay joined the Black Muslims and started calling himself Cassius X he became a champion of Racial Segregation and that is what we are fighting against. I think perhaps Cassius should spend more time proving his boxing skill and do less talking," Martin Luther King said.Wonder if Busiek thinks just that if he knows that King disapproved of Muhammad Ali's capitulation to the belief system of a white supremacist from remote times? Who knows? For now, it sounds like he's trying to exploit MLK for his own absurd politics. And IMHO, that's a ridiculous thing to do.
How "Islamophobic" of King.
Labels: Europe and Asia, islam and jihad, moonbat writers, politics, terrorism
Busiek makes claims about what MLK would say. But we know what Dr. King actually said:
"Violence in self-defense, all societies, from the most primitive to the most civilized, have always accepted as legal and moral. Self-defense, even involving weapons and bloodshed, has never been condemned, even by Gandhi."
"Do you know that Negroes are ten percent of the population of St. Louis, but account for fifty percent of its crime? We've got to address that. And we've got to do something about our moral standards. We know there are things wrong in the white world, but there are things wrong in the black world, too. We can't keep blaming the white man. There are things we must do for ourselves."
And "patient, persistent diplomacy" is one thing. Total capitulation is another. Obama and Kerry are now thanking Iran for releasing innocent American hostages in exchange for the US releasing terrorists. At present, the released terrorists have not returned to Iran; they are running around loose in America. And when they set off an IED at a sporting event, or when they go on a shooting spree in a hospital, the Progressives will blame it on George Bush, Fox News, and the NRA.
