Ferguson Protestors Remind Mike Huckabee of Lynch Mobs

In a blog post Monday, Fox News host Mike Huckabee compared Ferguson demonstrators to lynch mobs and the killers of Medgar Evers, and told them to follow the example set by Martin Luther King, Jr.

“I’m old enough to have seen this mob justice mindset before,” Huckabee wrote, “from lynch mobs who didn’t like the legal process, so they took the law into their own hands. The real heroes of racial justice were peaceful protesters like the Rev. Martin Luther King. Today, every town has a street named after him. You don’t see any monuments to Bull Connor or the killers of Medgar Evers.”

Bet that’s going to go over great.
