What Is It With Democrats And Funerals?
polipundit ^ | February 07th, 2006 | Lorie Byrd

What is it that makes Democrats incapable of controlling their hostility, even during funerals?

Especially during funerals.

Rush Limbaugh just played a clip of today’s “Wellstone Funeral moment” from Rev. Joseph Lowry in which he raised the issue of weapons of mass destruction in the Coretta Scott King funeral, then talked about how not enough money is going to the poor.

I know I have seen figures that indicate that Bush has spent more on some programs for the poor than Clinton did, but it wouldn’t matter if he had spent ten times more.

Facts don’t matter.

This is pure theater, folks.

Can you imagine how the media would have reported a Republican using the Reagan funeral to make the point that Democrats were wrong about communism and that they are just as wrong on terrorism?

Fortunately we have a President with more class in his little finger than the entire Democrat party.

Following the Lowry comments, Bush gave him a hug.

A casket to dems is nothing but a soapbox. Because few would listen to them otherwise.

Dems are like spoiled little brat kids who need a spanking.

Well put.
To the collection of misfits politics trumps and out weighs everything else...death, collegiality, manners, you name it.

After Ms Clinton's plantation comments a week or two ago, I just could not help think during that tawdry performance at Mrs. King's services that the Dems were exercising their self proclaimed "rightful authority" to pull African-Americans back onto their plantation where they feel they rightfully belong. After all, the Dems feel that they run the good plantation. How utterly, utterly pathetic.

Have you ever stopped to think that the DemocRATS think they are acting in a TV "reality show" where nothing is too far out. The more bazaar and outlandish they act and the more harsh and degrading speech they mouth, the better they feel about themselves in their reality show fantasy world.

Liberals will be liberals, and they've been going to a lot of funerals lately. If that doesn't give you an idea of the general direction that their movement/ideology is going, I don't know what does.

What a great thought. Although I always wondered how this would work in Heaven. I mean, wouldn't people like Lincoln have about a billion people lined up to talk to him?

I think Carter and Lowery look at Mrs. King lying there, and they're aware that their deaths are coming soon, too. And they've become a pair of bitter old fossils, so they rant about the injustice of it all - meaning the injustice to them.

"And a former president [Carter] acted like the enemy."

I'm sure Carter would like to be seen as an enemy of this Administration. It gets him back in the limelight.

Yes he will. There are a lot of people I want to meet in Heaven. I don't know what they prefer for food and refreshments there. Or if Jesus wants me to sit around with them if he has a different job for me to do. So far I have noticed laziness is not good for me.

Are you into seances? How do you know that she would have "LOVED" it?

You enjoy the bottom of the barrel dregs of humanity spewing hate and disrespect, AT A FUNERAL NO LESS, at a sitting president of another party? You think ( and I use that word loosely ! ) that that was "FUN," do you?

Did your mother raise you in a gutter, or did she just abandon you in one?

I watched this... I have no idea what to call this without using a long stream of profanity... from the Leftists gathered to pay tribute to Mrs. King.

It was disgusting.

It made me angry.

Then, it made me smile.

If this is the public face of their party, then their time is over for good.

Your comment was right on the money.

Lowery was Lowery--but for Carter to carry on as he did? Double plus disgraceful--even for a democrap.

I believe we're witnessing the opening shots of Civil War II.

Another little piece of truth. I just saw on FOX news a report that law enforcement are looking for 2 white males in the Alabama church arsen cases. Can they say 'white'? Isn't that profiling? If they suspected 2 blacks, would they have said '2 blacks'. I thought it was established dogma that racial profiling was anathema.
