"Fighting your opponents with respect and reason works better than aspersion and attack"

Heard this snippet of Bill Clinton on the news this morning:

[The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. monument] will also be a reminder of Martin Luther King's conviction that in the struggle for freedom, equality and justice - non-violence, his passion for peace - is the most effective strategy. When the real battlefield is the human heart, civil disobedience works better than suicide bombing. Fighting your opponents with respect and reason works better than aspersion and attack.

I'm sure that - as usual - that advice will fall on the MSU's deaf ears. Then again, they wouldn't want to listen, as MLK also said this at a lecture at Harvard in 1968 shortly before his death:

“When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews, You are talking anti-Semitism.”
