I don't have a problem with your comment, Joy. We should all condemn political assassinations. But that was not Bill Owen's comment. He said that Malcolm "got what was coming!" Let's be very very clear about this, alright?!
He endorsed the assassination of Malcolm X!
If you agree or disagree, say so...
I won't let anyone on this forum get away with saying that about Malcolm!

Bill was quoting a song by Phil Ochs. Please go have a listen to it, as you clearly have not heard it before and have missed the context entirely. It's called "Love Me, I'm a Liberal." I would link to it but I don't know the policies here. It's a great song, as are all of Phil Ochs and you have a treat ahead of you if you do listen to his songs.

This is why punctuation matters.

Couldn't agree more!
