Let's have the same standard applied to Eliot Spitzer (who had sex with a consenting adult) or Larry Craig (who played footsie with an adult homophobic sex narc on an entrapment prowl).

MLK is (rightfully, I think) a Liberal poster boy. The liberal press buried the story because it didn't want to piss on the 40th anniversary parade.

BUT, it is national news that Bevel - this perverted "hero'" - was a national leader, a religious leader, a serial sex abuser and was respected in his community - current LaRouche connections notwithstanding.

Bevel's crime was far more serious than Craig's or Spitzer's.
