Ouch.

Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece says the Rev. Jesse Jackson should stop comparing the Occupy Wall Street protests to the civil rights movement, arguing that her uncle would not have condoned the movement.

“I believe that Rev. Jackson is doing a disservice,” Alveda King said on Fox News Monday morning. “My uncle, the whole [civil rights] movement, was founded in prayer, in crying out to God in a peaceful movement. And this [Occupy] movement is not peaceful.”

What is she talking about? Besides the rapes, vandalism, pest infestations, unreasonable demands based upon naive world views, Marxism (see previous), antisemitism, widespread drug problems — besides all of that it’s basically the same!

Actually it’s not. Whereas the Civil Rights movement was about attaining equal rights, Occupy Wall Street is about redistributing wealth and punishing those who worked hard in order to reward those who made poor decisions or are just too damn lazy to work.

Reverend King promoted peace. These leaders are promoting violence. Reverend King promoted equality. These leaders are promoting dependency. Reverend King demanded non-violence. These leaders are willing to resort to anything to achieve their political objectives. Reverend King’s movement was based in faith. Occupy Wall Street is based on Gimme Gimme, I Want.
