"As often occurs when Former President Bill Clinton shows up, black folks acted as if he had emancipated the slaves."

I have to admit, Mary really nailed it with this one.

No one says a mean word at a funeral. Even gang-bangers hold their anger until the casket is removed from the sanctuary.

Ouch.

They just want to keep having do-overs on the Wellstone fiasco until it doesn't help elect a Republican.

Such a contrast--the dignity, grace, and appropriateness of the two Presidents Bush, vs. the self-serving, pandering, malicious behavior of Carter, Clinton, and Joseph Lowry. The Democrats are so devoid of respect for people that they see nothing wrong with turning funerals into political rallies.

"Having learned my lesson at Parks' funeral, I stayed home."

She did, but as others have said, the point would have drawn bone marrow had Paul Wellstone also been mentioned Then it wouldn't have just been about black folks, which I would have thought would only have emphasized how patronizing those politicians and clerics were being to the faithful in the pews.

Okay, I'm callin the cops!

Who kidnapped the REAL Mary Mitchell and put this person at her word processor?

[MikeHu]

I can understand Jimmy Carter still pathetically trying to win one --
but what is everybody else's excuse?

Was Jerry Springer all booked up?

[MamaLucci]

Evidently, democrats have no respect for life OR death. Sad.

[GeorgeW23225]

This turned out to be nothing more than the Wellstone Memorial Part II.

And, politically speaking, I hope it has the same effect.

Coretta Kings funeral should have been called "Wellstone Reloaded".

I bet we see more sequels. Wait for when Teddy goes to that great scotch bottle in the sky, it's going to be great fun to watch his funeral. I hear instead of a eternal flame like JFK Teddy is going to have a eternal margarita machine next to his head stone.

A wise man once said: how many people show up at your funeral depends on the weather.

[JerseyDvl]

Boy did she. I just love articles like these that keep the Dem idiocy in the papers.

Mary, honey, you "lost your dignity" and "abandoned your traditions" long ago. It was when you climbed in bed with Uncle Sam, who volunteered to be your mamma, your daddy and your husband and provider.

You gave up everything for "affirmative action," forced busing, welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, Section 8 Housing all complements of the "Great Society", "War on Poverty," NAACP, SCLC, Rainbow Coalition, "diversity programs," "African Centered Education," "Nation of Islam," but most importantly, the DemocRAT Party.

The fact that you've just now lifted the veil from your eyes and seen the pitiful way the liberals and "Race Hustlers" force decency from even the funeral of a loved one, is truly sad.

The truth can be very painful but it can also set you free.

The most ironic thing about Carters stupid remarks was when he brought up the wiretaps on MLK - something authorized by the Attorney General at the time - Robert F. Kennedy.

I guess he's too stupid to catch the irony, or thinks most Americans are too stupid to know the difference.
