More White House officials at Michael Brown’s funeral than Thatcher’s
Fox News ^ | 26 Aug 14 | Fox Staff

The White House sent three officials to attend Monday's funeral for Michael Brown in St. Louis -- three more than it sent for former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's funeral last year.

The administration's handling of the Brown funeral already has started to raise comparisons between the two.

For Monday's funeral, the White House sent two officials with the White House Office of Public Engagement as well as Broderick Johnson, chairman of the My Brother's Keeper Task Force.

No White House officials, though, were part of the presidential delegation sent last year to Thatcher's funeral. For that, the White House sent former secretaries of State George Schultz and James Baker III -- as well as the charge d'affaires to the U.K. and the former U.S. ambassador.

At the time, the nature of the delegation stirred controversy in the British media as tabloids claimed British officials felt snubbed that high-level American officials -- including President Obama himself -- were not attending.

The White House countered that Baker and Schultz' attendance were "testimony" to Thatcher's "global stature and reputation." British Prime Minister David Cameron's office also denied claims at the time that the administration had snubbed the late prime minister.

But in the case of Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old fatally shot by a police officer earlier this month, the Obama administration has devoted considerable resources.

Disgusting.

Appalling.

Also, the funeral of Major General Harold Greene, the 2-star general killed in Afghanistan on August 5th, was snubbed by Obama and Biden. The White House sent ZERO representatives to his funeral at Arlington.

But they honored the Thug Michael Brown.

Yup, lots of support for the thug who broke the face of a police officer, tried to grab his gun, choked a store clerk by the throat for attempting to stop him from stealing, and pot and booze in his system.

But for a 2 star General killed in the line of duty? Nothing.

This is Gen Greene's son, a 1st Lt serving in the Army.

Shame on Obama and Biden - but even more contempt and shame to the American people who VOTED these vermin into office.

I pray that God brings justice, soon.

When this POS and the rest of his posse leave the white hut, hopefully on or before 1/20/17, this will be the second Passover celebration.

But we must recall that Thatcher was a lady. Michael was a thug

Those in attendance place a higher value on one’s being a dead druggie thug than a dead valued leader of the free world. After all the thug was a thug because he was descended from slaves that were weak and unable to resist the thugs that enslaved them. Thugs are therefore revered.

The funeral was a n event where the ruling subculture and the detritus subcultures of the black community could flaunt their being to the American Black subculture. The Shrptons and the ner do wells could thumb their noses at Dr Crson and those that are true successes but traitors to their rece. Success is treason.

It’s part of the planned strategy to divide America.

WA PO has a hit piece on officer Wilson going into his background in detail.

Just more red meat to feed the race pimps.

At least the Obama officials aren’t stealing more tax money and hunting down patriots to persecute when they are attending these negro circuses.

Kind of figured as much.

The fact that the claim is incorrect does not mean that sending three people to Brown’s funeral was appropriate. The official U.S. delegation to Margaret Thatcher’s furneral numbered four people: Jim Baker, George Schultz, the U.S. Ambassador, and the U.S. embassy chargé d’affaires.
