The Manners, Or Lack Thereof Of The Moronic Left

Ever wonder what type of idiots elect a Ted Kennedy, or see Hillary as a saving grace? Just take a look. But be prepared to wash your hands and shake your head after clicking the links for a look into the magic, moronic kingdom. Yuck!

I personally find it absolutely outrageous, OUTRAGEOUS! that Republicans are attacking Coretta Scott King and her family this way.

If you haven't read about it elsewhere, President Bush apparently looked a bit sheepish at Coretta Scott King's funeral service today. Why? Because two speakers had the gall to talk about the values the Kings stood for

Get ready for the white men of the Republican party to lecture black leaders about not knowing their place

So the disenfranchised and the unempowered and the disagreeing and even the powerful took the opportunity to make a few, slight, clever, quiet and accurate comments that alluded to the current Presidency

Then contrast that sad lunacy with this and follow through with the link.

"That backfired and I have hopes that the ugliness of the scene at the memorial service for Mrs. King will fill many people with distaste at such open political self-aggrandizement at the expense of honoring the memory of Reverend and Mrs. King. I suspect that there are many people of both parties who are turned off by the politicization of a woman's memorial service."

This is very offensive. Coretta King was a political activist. It was her life. Under the same circumstances, she would have been saying the same things and would be honored to see her work continued at her memorial.

Nobody who knows what Mrs. King stood for would ever say the memorial was "ugly".

A funeral at a church is no place to spew forth political hate speech. And of course it was aimed at President Bush who was sitting right there. I think that was disrespectful to him as President of the US. I don't think Martin Luther King would have approved of such talk as he was a man of peace & honor. But President Bush gave a heart-felt, stirring memorial about Mrs. King; to me it was so lovely and moving. That is what you want to hear when you are honoring the memory of a loved one....

-->There was no hate speech, unless you want to call everything the Kings stood for hate speech.

He gave a very nice tribute but I would think you'd want to hear about the deceased from her friends and family. She would have loved Maya singing to her. :)

You'll have to forgive my emotion. She was real to me.

Nonsense. Mrs. King was a distinguished and classy lady. Had she known that something like this would happen at her funeral, I am sure that she would have taken preventative measures while alive. She would never have made a political event out of anybody's funeral.

Hillary the saving grace of the left? Have you seen her pole numbers Dan? More crap from you rightwinger trying too frame the issue before it becomes an issue.

Also, should the preacher who screams at military funerals be link to you righties because he is from the extreme right? Dan try to get a little more rounded view before you post your GOP talking points please.

Why did Bush show up to a funeral he was not invited too?

[COLUMBO]

so the left has a monopoly on funerals and compassion now.....LMAO

and btw....Hilary's poll (not 'pole') numbers have her as the DEM frontrunner....a sad commentary for a dying ideaology...it's demise is/will continue to be like sitting in a classroom while someone scratches the chalkboard w/fingernails-for the entire schoolday

[Phoenix]

Nice analogy, Columbo.

You made my sphincter muscles get all tight and now they won't unloosen. ow.

No, apparently you righties have a thing are two too teach us liberals about proper behavior at funerals. Just ask your republican funeral director Fred phelps, he loves to stand at Military funerals and screem at crying family members................I am NOT laughing my ass off.

Democrats may be a dying party, I would not argue that point. But I do not see why you would be happy about a one party system. You righties don't have damn thing to be proud of. You fumbled and screwed up everthing you have touched in the last six years Your only brite spot is Iraq. How sad. You will go down as having the most incompetent perz and most corrupt congress the country has ever seen. Bush will replace Carter as the worst prez in history. Your biggest fear should not be hillary, it should be 06, you lose either house are senate the replublican imperial plans will come to an aburpt end.

Yes, I made a spelling mistake, at least I am willing to admitt when I am wrong. How nice of you too point it out.
Have a nice day.

[MrsLevy]

Martin would have been proud of the things that were
said at his wife's funeral yesterday. He always stood
up for the people and causes he believed in.

That's why people who think like Dan shot him.

Wow she dances now? Where?

In a Leftist "apologia" for Islamists concerning the recent mayhem in the Muslim world about the publication on a Danish newspaper of some cartoons depicting Mohammed, the New York Times, wishing not to bruise "frail" Muslim "sensitivities," refuses to publish any of the aforementioned cartoons, unlike many of its counterparts around the world who have chosen to exercise, and assert their "Freedom of Speech."

However, they did manage to dig up an image of a controversial "Black Maddona," a photograph of the Virgin Mary depicted in elephant dung, which was exhibited in a Brooklyn Museum seven years ago, which they eagerly printed in the article in question without the slightest concern for the sensitivities of Christians all over the world.

Perhaps the New York Times got its graphics mixed up, and actually intended to publish the picture of the "Black Madonna" in Memoriam of Coretta Scott King?!?!

God only knows the Democrats made of her Funeral Services a mockery, and a "Political Sideshow," so it wouldn't surprise me!!!

A funeral memorial church service is no place for partisan politics.
Funny how those that dont like being "disrespected" to it to others so easily.
I did not watch a bit of it. I dont like these made for tv gatherings. The whole deal is so phoney it is unwatchable.
Politicians are strange creatures and make strange bed fellows. They just keep on smiling and keep on talking. I havent really liked a President since Harry Truman and Ike. And they caught hell all the time too. Harry said if you cant stand the heat get out of the kitchen. And he said being President was like riding a tiger. He said being in the White House was like being in a big white jail. Harry didnt let it go to his head.

"Why did Bush show up to a funeral he was not invited too?"

But didn't he also show up at a prior MLK or 16th Street Baptist Church event without invite?

Has he invited NAACP or any black organization to the "White" House?

[COLUMBO]

"Why did Bush show up to a funeral he was not invited too?"

They usually don't send out invitations....what if he didn't show-would you be howling about that?

[COLUMBO]

You guys said all that crap about Reagan too....in fact it was even worse for him at one time. America usually gets it right and history smiles on Reagan. Clinton is still trying to forge a legacy....of what I have no idea.

Sorry, but I respectfuly disagree with your comment, but I do admire your emotion. I just think it's misplaced.
Also, do they send invites out to funerals?

[FloridaPatty]

on one hand..ur, they did have a captive audience.

Note to Laura Bush: You show me grace under fire.

[COLUMBO]

some facts which dispel some revisionist history

1) no former president publicly criticized Bill Clinton when he was impeached observing a long established protocol

2) MLK was secretly surveilled under the orders of the administration-the Kennedy administration...under the circumstances MLK might very well have supported a regime change...at the time Sen. Robert Byrd(D) was in the Klan

3)MLK publicly admonished Jesse Jackson for his demagoguery which he believed undermined the movement...a movement which has since become hijacked

[Dan]

Has he invited NAACP or any black organization to the "White" House?

Yes, CORE and others have been there. WHy on earth should he invite the NAACp when its chairman just got done calling him a terrorist (not the first time) and sugegsting Republicans are Nazis? You MUST be kidding. I wouldn't have them anywhere near the White House if I were him. And rightly so. Thjey aren't fit to be there.

[COLUMBO]

Dan:

You took the words right out of my...keypad

[Honey]

Also, do they send invites out to funerals?

Posted by: danascully | Wednesday, February 08, 2006 at 07:22 PM

They invite people to memorial services, particularly large ones where crowd size matters.

[COLUMBO]

so you need the invite in order to pay your respects?

[danascully]

I don't see that it matters whether Bush was invited or not, but his dad as well as Clinton & Carter were sure there, as well as countless other dignitaries. I don't they would have been invited and not Bush. Besides I have not seen that in print anywhere and to me that just doesn't matter. The point to me is: the same people howling about his "showing up without an invite" would have been critizing him if he didn't.....

[tester]

Yeah, CORE. That pretty much explains it all. Does CORE have anything significant to do with racial equality any more?
