Ridiculous Politics

Here is Hillary Clinton's statement about Martin Luther King, Jr: "Dr. King's dream began to be realised when President Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964."

Okay, what's wrong with this statement? She's not belittling Dr. King - she's stating a FACT. Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act because of pressure of the Civil Rights Movement, led by Dr. King. But King couldn't pass any actual law himself as he was not in a legislative position to do so. All of this argument about this statement is ludicrous.
