DUmmie FUnnies 02-08-06 ("For the love of God, her life WAS political" ---Pitt)
DUmmie FUnnies ^ | February 8, 2006 | William Rivers Pitt, DUmmies, and PJ-Comix

Posted on 02/08/2006 6:17:24 AM PST by PJ-Comix

Does it really suprise anybody that William Rivers "Pied Piper" Pitt has melodramatically glommed onto the Coretta Scott King funeral in order to draw attention to the most important person in the world---himself? This is a familiar pattern to all who are familiar with Pitt. Previous such glommings included his infamous visit to the Texas ditch (while staying at a nearby air conditioned motel) in order to bask in the reflected glow of the publicity given to Cindy Sheehan. Then there was his grandstanding in LaFayette Park for the First Day When Everything Finally Changed last June followed by the Second Day When Everything Finally Changed But Was Buried Under Hurricane Coverage last September. Oh, on the latter, I need to add this disclaimer as per Pitt. Pied Piper Pitt never ever had any personal contact with any member of A.N.S.W.E.R. even though his PDA organization was intimately involved with organizing that September rally in D.C. with A.N.S.W.E.R.. Pitt was able to avoid the deadly A.N.S.W.E.R. microbes by having himself hermetically sealed in a giant body condom. Okay, now that I am done with that mandatory disclaimer, let us look at the latest example of Pitt grandstanding in this DUmmie THREAD melodramatically titled, "For the love of God, her life WAS political." As usual, the Pied Piper Pitt grandstanding is in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, watching Pitt from across the schoolyard, is in the [brackets]:

For the love of God, her life WAS political

[For the love of God, look at MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!]

Egads.

[Spaketh the ex-Newton school teacher.]

Any long-term fight for civil rights, workers rights and peace is going to INVOLVE POLITICS. It is, in point of fact, going to be ALL ABOUT politics.

[Including her FUNERAL? Every heard of the concept, R.I.P.?]

What, were they going to spend the day discussing her favorite songs? Her favorite color?

[A life not totally about politics is empty according to Pied Piper Pitt.]

Her life was about politics - the politics of freedom and the politics of equality - as was her husband's life.

[It was also about Pied Piper Pitt. And if it wasn't, Pitt is sure to weasel himself into the funeral as he has done with this thread.]

This whole thing is just so much stinking bullshit.

[Sound a little nervous there, Pitt? Afraid that the reaction to the politicizing of her funeral will have the same effect as the politicized Wellstone funeral in 2002? Now to read from the rest of the DUmmie chorus...]

Bush was SITTING THERE because of politics, wasn't he? He certainly wasn't there out of support for the woman's lifework. He was there LAUGHING to himself that he has put in place the means to DISMANTLE all the advances made through the work of the Kings, Carter and Clinton.

[Yeah, everybody was there, especially Bill Clinton, for entirely noble reasons except for Bush. He was just there to laugh at everybody even when they insulted him during the eulogies.]

AMEN, Brother Will! How right you are ... It worked with Wellstone, though, and they're going to try and do it again. All we can do is keep countering as you say.

[The Wellstone funeral showed just how out of touch the Democrats were/are. They turned it into a mass political rally and then were later shocked when the public heartily disapproved.]

Though her life was about politics, her funeral should not have been. It should have been about celebrating her life and accomplishments, not demeaning Bush for his failures and foolishness.There were greiving relatives who were there to honor her memory not dishonor the chimp. A funeral is not the place for partisan pot-shots.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

Speaking out against injustice is right. But a funeral is not a forum. A funeral is for the loved ones to have one last chance to say goodbye, not for people to have a chance at sliming somebody they don't like.

Speaking out against injustice is right. But a funeral is not a forum. A funeral is for the loved ones to have one last chance to say goodbye, not for people to have a chance at sliming somebody they don't like.

[We heard you before, you LOUSY FREEPER TROLL! For expressing that a funeral should show proper respect, prepare for your Tombstoning.]

You sound like a Catholic. Funerals mean diff. things to diff. people

[Only Catholics have non-political funerals. In all other religions, converting a funeral to a partisan political rally is the norm.]

For a warmonger at the funeral of a PEACE activist. He should have respected the King Legacy and stayed away.

[And then be blamed for disrepecting Mrs. King by snubbing her funeral.]

I have made it very clear to my family - I want an over the top Irish wake. I want stories told and much laughter and commradery. If someone doesn't puke in my casket, they didn't do it right, imho!

[I'll be happy to oblige on the puking part.]

If anyone wanted to take shots at anyone they should have called a press conference for after the funeral at a separate location.

[Uh-Oh! Another LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

mlk was wiretapped...

[...on orders of rfk.]

Secondly the King family were the victims of illegal wiretaping. Why would any sane person not mention that at a time when other citizens feel threatened by the same illegality.

[Perhaps Lowery should have denounced Teddy's brother from the podium for authorizing that illegal wiretapping.]

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that... Hillary was a "friend" of hers. DO tell of all the time they spent together. Okay, to be fair...I have no idea why Hillary spoke. None. After watching her speak, I still had no further clue as to why she spoke. Perhaps a member of the King family invited her to speak. Why, I wouldn't know. She sure isn't the speaker her husband, or anyone else who was there, is. That same intonation she uses for every engagement... Can't someone offer her speech coaching?

[Pied Piper Pitt can give Hillary some coaching in self-serving melodramatics.]

They talked about the Iraq war! WTF? That discourse does not belong at a funeral. Period.

[And your mere presence does not belong in DUmmieland. Period.]

Was Reagan's funeral truth or politics according to white corporate America? I thought it was a big load of propaganda bullshit, and that half of it was made up to advance the political image of George Bush, following in the boots of Saint Ronnie. How come the white corporate media didn't call that "political"??? "Political" is only what they don't want to hear. Wise up.

[Ronald Reagan's funeral wasn't called political because it WASN'T political. Gorbachev was sitting in the audience and guess what? Nobody attacked him. In fact NOBODY was attacked at Reagan's funeral. Why? Because it was a FUNERAL. They were there to HONOR Ronald Reagan, NOT to attack anyone or turn it into a GOP political rally.]

NO. Coretta Scott King was a victim of warrant-less wiretapping, to not talk about the elephant in the living room would have been a disservice to this woman and her legacy.

[The elephant in the living room was Teddy Kennedy whose brother authorized those illegal wiretaps.]

It's the Wellstone funeral thing all over again

[And this DUmmie wins a Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity!]

For the LOVE OF GOD,...her life was BEYOND POLITICAL,...Will.

In spite of your obsession, she lived for the human race,....not the political race. Don't disgrace her life with your obsession. Please.

[Uh-Oh! DUmmie dissent from Pied Piper Pitt. Could this have been a posting from a former disgruntled Pitt student?]

That made no sense. Care to try again?

[Said Pitt to the schoolgirl...]

I wear a hat, in the mirror I see Eastwood The ladies on DU think I'm hot when I pose

Excellent lyrics, but I don't really think Pitt was posing for the ladies at DU. Something tells me he would be much more interested in how well the other girlymen at DU are impressed by his posing.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Pitt strikes me as the sort who will "do" anyone (or anything) that tells him how wonderful he is.

It's always a Rat who does these things. I'd like to see a campaign montage commercial of all these episodes-Ronnie disgracing his father's funeral,the Wellstone political rally,CSK's funeral used as a stage from which to disrespect her memory(it WAS supposed to be about her,wasn't it,and not the partisan views of the speakers?),and anymore that can be found(and I bet they're out there. It's what Rats do).

Er, maybe, but from what I hear that wouldn't be terribly relevant to Pitt....

DUmmies admit that Mrs King's corpse made a useful PR prop:
Zanne: As liberals, we have to grab any opportunity we can to get the message out
Pacifist Patriot : democrats had a chance to make points without media intervention

Ya know...this is their entire problem in a nutshell and personally, I hope they never grasp it. NORMAL people would have enough class and tact to NOT bring politics to a funeral. She was a mother, a grandmother, a wife, an inspiration. She had DECADES of life after her husband's death and deserved to be remembered for HER accomplishments. They cheapened her legacy and showed their true colors. Getting their "message" out, is more important than honoring a woman's life. Yeah, the party of love and compassion. Keep the love flowing and share that message hope with all the people of America...at the next funeral.

Liberals appear to have no sense of appropriate time or place for free speech. They interpret "free speech" to mean that they can spew whatever they want, whenever they want, with no consequences. Then they're always surprised when there ARE consequences, and that what has been said has not been well received. Imagine that.

Its called lack of character. The democrat party attracts people with no character.

Let's see, now...

The wiretapping of the King family was done on the orders of Bobby Kennedy, a DEMOCRAT, for the purpose of exposing an extramarital affair that MLK may have been having, and then sending the tape to Mrs. King and causing problems in their marriage. The kind, loving, tolerant Democrat party at work.

The so-called "wiretapping" that's happening now is NOT WIRETAPPING; that's physical, the NSA program is not. Second, President Bush is "connecting the dots", doing intercepts of calls from foreign terrorist enemies to SOMEONE -- may or may not be a U.S. citizen -- on U.S. soil, in accordance with his wartime powers afforded him by Article II of the Constitution, in order to prevent more Americans from being killed by another attack on our own soil. The NSA is not listening to your conversation with Grandma. They're not listening to you when you talk to your daughter overseas (unless she's affiliated with Al Qaeda). The NSA is not listening to the President's political opponents. In short, THE PROGRAM IS NOT ILLEGAL.

So tell me, DUmmie, how can you say that people today are being "threatened by the same illegality"? Answer: You can't.

Oh, and by the way, Jimmuh Cartuh didn't make the connection between the ILLEGAL wiretaps of MLK by the DEMOCRAT Kennedy's with Teddy Kennedy. No matter; we'll do it -- loudly and often.

...She [Hillary] sure isn't the speaker her husband, or anyone else who was there, is.

Ooooohhhhhh, here's another DUmmie crusin' for a tombstoning!

Bush spoke, too. The DUmmies all think Bush is an inarticulate moron. Does this DUmmie realized that he/she/it just compared the Hildabeast's speaking abilities unfavorably with those of President Bush?

Of course, for the record, he IS a better speaker, IMHO.

Hehehehehehe
