King and I bantered a bit, with me knowing of his politics. I always tried to stay within the bounds of guns and hunting, but King never let his politics be absent from the conversation. I recently lost a good gun and shooting friend whose politics were very similar to King's. I never understood how he could respect or vote for someone who would gladly take his firearms property and/or recreational opportunities from him when it was a very large percentage of the entire estate he had acquired over a sixty some year working career. I am personally acquainted with liberal voting people who own million dollar gun collections and somehow don't understand the possible outcome of such people getting their way in congress. Those wild and crazy Can......s. Oh, well.
Like many of you, I vehemently disagreed with King’s politics and his views on lots of issues. He and I had a number of exchanges on those topics. But he was always respectful of me and I of him. I never met him, but if I had I’m sure we could have sat down and had a friendly chat about birds, dogs, double guns and shooting. RIP King Brown
Here's a magazine article about King written by a known Canadian Author/Writer Harry Bruce. It was written in 1974. Geo sent me the article. King had friends of all stripes and political persuasions. Gil
“Still wondering why someone who claims such a friendship with JFK that he helped him out by taking Jackie on lunch dates was never once photographed. And that wild claim that you had such easy access to the Kennedy brothers that U.S. reporters complained about it. The Kennedy clan had to be one of the most photographed families in history. Don't photographers and reporters go hand in hand and travel in the same circles? When you go out to tend your grapes with JFK and Elvis, how about sending us a selfie? I told everyone here about doing similar Google searches on a few of your contemporaries who were pretty small time local newspaper reporters in my hometown. There they were in old photos interviewing Nixon, Eisenhower, JFK, etc. But these modest and decent men never claimed to be something they were not, and never felt the sick need to inflate their egos and their resumes.” Above was said in a 13 page “piling on” Kingsley for being a “fabulist” about the Kennedys and MLK. 7/14/15 #410269. Here’s a photo which was on his obituary page. Posted somewhere on the forum was a link to a video of a filmed CBC interview of MLK by Kinglsey. After the video was posted, the attack then shifted from he didn't know MLK to that MLK didn’t like Kinglsey because he didn’t look at him in the interview which was recorded by a single camera from the side. Kinglsey is on JFK’s left shoulder between JFK and RFK. Brown is holding a folded document. Photo found on Brown’s funeral home site.
Very sorry to learn of King Brown's death. Found him knowledgeable, and a great foil for some of the absurdities on the far right that people this Board.
Yep commie are great foils and even better when they make stuff up I thought it was intertaining and some of his positions were just false that he stated as fact.still an interesting commie,,.ps I didn't think highlander could be commies
