hipsterdufus said:Why don't you ask the King's children what they thought then, rather than Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly? :roll:
Stinger said:I was waiting for Chris Matthews or Cynthia Tucker to bring up the fact that it was Democrats who tapped MLK, that it was Democrats who stood in the doorways of schools, that it was Democrats who put the dogs on protestors, that it was Democrats who refuse to allow MLK day and it was Democrats who refused to let him lie in state in the capital. It was Democrats who engaged in the longest filbuster in Senate history as they fought against Civil Rights.

The person that showed the most decorum was Bill Clinton...
That's all you need to know to understand how sad this was....

jamesrage said:That proably explains why they turned the funeral into a political campain,they hope that people will forget the past crimes of their party.
hipsterdufus said:Huh?
J Edgar Hoover's wiretapping of the Kings, approved by RFK, is an embarrassment for the Dems.
If you think it was a crime then, as I do, can you see the logic in thinking that warrantless wiretapping is a crime now?
Trajan Octavian Titus said:lmfao you're comparing the wire tapping of MLK to the wire tapping of AlQaeda which is an enemy of the United States. Gimme a break.
Middleground said:What makes you so sure that they are just tapping al-Qaeda? How do you know that for sure?

hipsterdufus said:Here's what the Bush's thought of Clinton. What a pic!
hipsterdufus said:I think the people at the funeral appreciated the event - Clinton got a two minute standing ovation. At least Bush didn't get booed like he did at the pope's funeral.
Activism is what the Kings' life was all about! If the boy in the bubble can't take it, he should have stayed home, like Cheney did.
Oh yeah - Cheney voted against establishing MLK day as a holiday, I guess that's why he wasn't there.
Coretta would have loved it my friend!
reaganburch said:You can take any picture and put it in a context to meet your argument. It appears to me that Laura was blinking and the President looked over Clinton's shoulder to something that caught his attention...
You want to know what class is and what the Bush's really think of the Clinton's? Go back to the Bill Clinton presidential portrait unveiling ceremony...
And yes, I believe President Clinton showed a lot of class in the ceremony. I think he could be the best or 2nd best politician in my lifetime(born 1968), either him or Reagan...
Navy Pride said:The dems did the same thing at the Wellstone funeral and they got it broke off in them when Norm Coleman was elected to the Senate from Minnesota...They never learn from a mistake........Lets hope the same thing happens again...........
hipsterdufus said:The Wellstone funeral had nothing to do with Coleman winning. It's hard to win an election when your candidate is dead. :roll:
John Ashcroft lost to a dead guy, but it's pretty rare.
I can't wait till Franken cleans Coleman's clock and becomes the Junior Senator from Minn. in 08!
I'm taking bets now - any takers?
My favorite Norm Coleman scene is when James Galloway ripped him a new a-hole when Galloway testified before the Senate.
Deegan said:I would not take that bet, those liberal Minnesotans will elect anyone, even professional wrestlers for crying out loud!:shock:
hipsterdufus said:My guess is that you didn't watch the ceremony, or at least this portion of it. It was clear that the Bush's were uncomfortable throughout.
I'd be uncomfortable too, if I was having an audience with thousands of people and only two voted for me - my wife and my daddy - but even daddy's not so sure he did the right thing anymore.
Wow, I wish I could have a crystal ball like that. Hey, tell us about the guy sitting behind the First Lady. What's he thinking?hipsterdufus said:My guess is that you didn't watch the ceremony, or at least this portion of it. It was clear that the Bush's were uncomfortable throughout.

“This was the most disgusting display of partisan politics I have ever seen.”
Stinger got it right when he said, “it was Democrats who refuse to allow MLK day and it was Democrats who refused to let him lie in state in the capital. It was Democrats who engaged in the longest filbuster in Senate history as they fought against Civil Rights.”
Jallman you made comment that “I was shocked at how heartfelt and non-political Clinton was in the part they played today.”
libertarian_knight said:Of course, if Bush were a better president, he would not have to worry about being mocked at a dead woman's funeral... or the popes.
His actions directly affect the popular reactions. like it or not. If you all are so sad and depressed, or angry or whatever emotion that's overwhelming you right now because the president was talked about and his policies were talked about, we have pills for you now.
sooo eomotional.
OMG the big bad ex-president and other people talked about the current preisdent.. whaaa whaaaa WHAAAAAAAAAAa.
cry cry cry. frick, when did the reps become crybabies?
OMG, that is just so wrong, politicing at a funeral. of all things.
Guess what. There is NO "RIGHT WAY" to have a funeral. It's purely social and purely human.
But, i guess I am sorry that your delicate sensibilities have been ruffled.
Oh, why is politicking at a funeral bad, but politicking about politicking at a funeral not bad?
