The "funeral" of Coretta Scott King turned into an ugly, disrespectful political rally.

Oh, stuff and nonsense! Bill Clinton spoke on Coretta's behalf, stating that she was still quite the babe even in her 70s.

Larry Elder is a Hero!

WOW - the last paragraph..... even then people knew the scam. Unbelieveable! I thought it was more recent phenomenon.

The thing I find oddest about this whole ordeal is that I cannot seem to picture MLK Jr. doing such a thing himself at a funeral.

Maybe it's just me....

Absolutely awful comments on the 'funeral of the year'. Where is the compassion, where is the money????? I am so sick of the poverty pimps that the mention of the jacksons, sharptons, and the whole exploitive lot makes me vomit. My prayer is that the whole lot of them need to find jobs, shut the Hell up, and get on with things. And, since when does 'low income' mean the same thing as jobless? I could write a book, but I would be burned in effigy for telling the truth to a bunch of people that would go into toxic shock if they could actually absorb the truth into those connected brains of their's, but I ramble..........

Imagine my surprise to see the caption "Coretta Scott King Funeral" appear on the screen. All that time I thought I was watching "Showtime at the Apollo"!

One of Elder's best....which says a lot. The funeral was the polar opposite of Dr. King's most famous message - that we must not draw a distinction of people based on the color of their skin.
