In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-violent means. By the time of his death in 1968, he had refocused his efforts on ending poverty and opposing the Vietnam War, both from a religious perspective. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. national holiday in 1986.

Rudy Giuliani’s False Claim: 2

Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York and 9/11 “expert” took to the airwaves this week, joining Republicans in taking cheap political shots at President Obama in the wake of a failed Christmas-day plot to blow up a plane. But Giuliani has gone beyond partisan attacks and has entered a bizarro realm of outright lies and hackery. And worse, supposedly “real” journalists have allowed Giuliani to make his false statements on television completely unchallenged. He appeared on CNN this week, falsely claiming Richard Reid’s shoe-bomb attempt, which occurred on December 22, 2001, happened before the 9/11 terrorist attack. And just this morning, the former NY mayor was interviewed by George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America, falsely saying that “We had no domestic attacks under Bush. We’ve had one under Obama.” Did the former Clinton staffer correct Giuliani’s confusion? No.

Some Republican congressional leaders apparently had no idea GOP Chairman Michael Steele had written a book about the party’s future, until they saw him on TV promoting it.

One aide tells The Washington Post: “No one in the House or Senate leadership knew he had a book contract.” Another said Steele is freelancing. The chairman has also taken fire for accepting speaking fees, and for some of his public comments.

Today Steele said on ABC News Radio he’s had enough: “If you don’t want me in the job — fire me. But until then — shut up.”
