1. Good for him. The good doctor is having a delusion, I'd say.

3. did the splc even exist when her house as bombed? in1963?

founded in 1971, 8 years after dr king, under oath, claimed they bombed her house.

her testimony , that the southern police forces were often the same masked clansmen, is essentially true, but irrelevant to the splc.

4. No, the SPLC ws funded in 1971.

And it's 100% true that this Dr. King has not half the intellect her uncle had. SPLC has had nothing to do with antiabortion or bombing anyone. She's by far the most ignorant person speaking, and that's saying a lot considering Gym Jordan is presiding.
