Greenfield: 'Do you really do this at a funeral?' (Sickening political statements at King's funeral)

Who was President when MLK was being bugged? Who was the Attorney General that did the bugging?

[Froufrou]

Sickening. The nerve to make any political statement in the House of the Lord.

[Sometimes A River]

Bush and Bush.

[saveliberty]

Somehow they will blame it on Eisenhower and Nixon

[Tallguy]

Criticizing the President at a funeral is repulsive. Most Americans will find it so. It all works to the President's political advantage.

Also, it appears that the Dems have learned nothing from the Paul Wellstone funeral fiasco.

My personal memory of the era is kinda dim, but I seem to remember the name "Kennedy" as being involved...

a healthy dose of politics

Correction Junk Journalists, "with a sickening, wholly inappropriate interjection of political partisanship into what was SUPPOSE to be a rememberance of Mrs King.

[Mamzelle]

LOL--! I've had second thoughts, myself...

[Semper Paratus]

I am still steamed at the lack of courtesy shown the President with the First Lady.

[Howlin]

Bush and Bush.

Lie and lie.

[popdonnelly]

"civil rights legend Joseph Lowery"

A legend in his own mind.

[Froufrou]

I thought I could eliminate the inappropriate slang during a slag in the post...[blush]

Hi, Mamzelle! ;o)

[highlander_UW]

The evil of the democrats knows no bounds. And they wonder why they can't connect with Christians...how about not personifying evil for a start...jerks.

[rhombus]

Both Kennedy and Johnson. Under Kennedy the Attorney General of course would have been Robert Kennedy.

[Spok]

Only proving once again that, to a liberal, it's always just about politics.

[Howlin]

I believe the name Kennedy was involved; two of them. :-)

Back in 2002, shortly before the election, Senator Wellstone was killed in a plane crash. And at the memorial service, a number of political people made the point to honor Paul Wellstone's memory, vice president -- ex-vice president Mondale who was running in the state should be elected. There were also -- there was some booing, apparently, not that much, directed at some Republican senators there. It became an article of faith on the political right that this had become a real ugly moment, when partisanship replaced memorials.

Doesn't that diminish the Wellstone incident, and imply that while the booing of some attendees to the funeral may not have been ugly, it was later perceived to be ugly???? What's up with that?

The MLK wiretaps were court-approved.
