This is weird. I went thru this entire morning thus far without my ISP going down once.

Let me know if you want on the DUmmie FUnnies PING List.

[Charles Henrickson]

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

Are you referring to Clinton, the Conqueror of Kosovo and Bomber of Aspirin Factories?

[Charles Henrickson]

I want an over the top Irish wake. I want stories told and much laughter and commradery.

Don't worry, all the comrades and fellow travelers will be there.

If someone doesn't puke in my casket, they didn't do it right, imho!

Get Pitt there. He can stagger over after a bender at Bukowski's and be ready to go.

[Charles Henrickson]

I have no idea why Hillary spoke. None. After watching her speak, I still had no further clue as to why she spoke. . . . She sure isn't the speaker her husband, or anyone else who was there, is. That same intonation she uses for every engagement. . . .

Hey, it is that dreary soporific monotone that is going to . . . um . . . you know . . . pave the way to Republican victory in 2008! The Rove has so decreed.

The Wellstone funeral showed just how out of touch the Democrats were/are

You're so right. The dems have so aligned themselves with the culture of death, that they might as well call themselves the party of death. Death holds no special status for them. In fact, they celebrate it.

Whether it's abortion, euthanasia, the killing of millions through the poverty and subjugation of socialism, or even the passing of one of their own "beloved" figures, they love revelling in the aura of death. So much so that their causes that push for death outweigh the death of the people before them.

The dems are not only out of touch politically, they are out of touch with humanity.

[Not A Snowbird]

I think yesterday's fiasco was far worse than the Wellstone funeral. At least at Wellstone's event, the object of their hate wasn't sitting right behind them, listening to every disrespectful word.

President Bush showed a great deal of class yesterday, as did Laura and Bush 41. If I were Laura, I might have been delivering some slaps.

[Paradox]

A funeral is not the place for partisan pot-shots.

Some people (mostly Liberals) just can't help themselves, its a form of narcissism, where the individual thinks himself and his thoughts so important, that it trumps the normal conventions of civility.

For cryin out loud, look at Sheehan, look at the liberal kooks who insist on distrupting things, its all about Me, My Thoughts, My Feelings!

It is a mental disease.

[Smedley]

Ronald Reagan's funeral wasn't called political because it WASN'T political.

Correction. Ron Reagan JUNIOR used the opportunity to take a potshot at politicians who weartheir faith on their sleeve (apparently Bush)

[beckysueb]

he has put in place the means to DISMANTLE all the advances made through the work of the Kings, Carter and Clinton.

Examples?

[beckysueb]

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

This one seems to get it. Lots of dissenting DUmmies here. This could be really bad for the dims when even the craziest among them think it was wrong.

[beckysueb]

[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.]

Bill Clinton was there too and nobody attacked him.

[mrsmel]

To paraphrase a line from "Dr Zhivago"-"The personal life is dead in America. The Democrat Party has killed it."

[Purrcival]

[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.]

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.

[Purrcival]

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.

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.

[Purrcival]

...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

[Purrcival]

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.

Hillary was there to stand on the podium with Bill and stare lovingly at him while he spoke. It was meant to be a statement about the state of their marriage, for whatever reason. Problem is, she was only able to keep up the charade for a short time. But then, when he was done, it would have been awkward for her to just sit down, so she had to ramble on about something.

[FDNYRHEROES]

In Before The Double PING! This time....

[Mr. Silverback]

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

Yes, which is one of the reasons that cheap shots from a race industry political hack like Lowery, and more cheap shots from the King of the Gulag-endorsing Useful Idiots served only to cheapen what should have honored her.

[Mr. Silverback]

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.

Actually, if Reagan's funeral had been like King's, someone would have gone up to the podium and said, "Unlike one President with us here today who was sexually gratified by an intern in the Oval Office, Ronald Reagan had so much respect for the room that he didn't even take his jacket off while working there."
