I was incensed to say the least when I read the original article stating they would be “Honoring” the Dog Murderer. Also the mention that Hillary Clinton and Obama would be involved was a slap in the face. I was actually starting to think that Obama might be our person for the job of Future President. Now I am not so sure of either of the above mentioned candidates." The original article stated that the presidential candidates would be attending the conference, not that they would specifically be honorong Vick. “This decsion on the SCLC’s part has made my day.

Michelle was joined by R.L. White, president of the Atlanta NAACP, who actually called Vick heroic. "He's a hero to many in Atlanta - he has brought people to the stadium, he has made millions of dollars for his sponsors, and he has done things for the children. The same thing is being done to him that he is alleged of doing to the dogs. He is being 'lynched' because you can lynch someone's character and they will never recover from it." Michelle was struck by how far so-called "civil rights" organizations have fallen. "Do you think your predecessors would be happy with you invoking 'lynching' rhetoric in this case? The civil rights movement is using imagery from the 50's and 60's to talk about a multi-million dollar football player who might be guilty of gross and massive animal abuse." http://www.billoreilly.com/show?action=viewTVShow&showID=1460#3 Here you go:

Looks like they came to their senses but too late as damage has already been done for anyone to respect them.

He added that SCLC should not become his public defender. “What has he ever done except throw a football, run a football?” Brooks said. “I don’t think he has done anything to deserve any special recognition.”" That statement definitely clarifies things! “Brooks, a lifetime SCLC member, also stated that Vick had not been a supporter of SCLC.

You gotta love the immediate impact of the internet. I wonder if having the SCLC President’s inbox explode over the weekend due to the bombardment of emails had anything to do with this decision.

There are talking about the miners right now so waiting to see, thought you might want to turn it on. She made it sound bad.

Too bad they still look like idiots for even considering him to be honored. I think that was a smart move on the SCLC’s part.
