Give Coretta Scott King the dignity she deserves in death!

Coretta S. King was a dignified, wonderful lady in every since of the word. So as she departed this world, the order of her funeral should have reflected that. Bitter partisan politicking from a few Ex-Presidents and Civil Rights leaders were mixed in with singing and praise of Coretta S. King. As President Bush and First Lady Laura Bush sat behind their attackers, the lashing began. From the Rev. Joseph Lowery came the rebuke:

Too late!

Now she's just a DEAD Dem TOOL!

[manwiththehands]

Let the idiots talk, regardless of where they are.

The Democrats, NAACP and Left Rev. Lowery turned this wonderful ladies funeral into a "Pimp" convention!

This dignified lady contributed much to the welfare of our country. Her funeral should have reflected a civil tone on the part of ALL mourners.

She had her good points, but she all locked up all her husband's stuff. They're rigorous as hell about enforcing copyrights, makes RIAA look like kid stuff.

In my whole life, I have managed to hear the WHOLE, "I Have A Dream"-speech exactly ONCE because of their miserly copyright enforcement.

The family makes $10 million yearly from copyright enforcement actions. That's a FACT.

The Reverend Lowery, if that is indeed what he is, should count himself lucky that Coretta didn't sit up in her casket and call him a lair.

It would be a nice thing to do....

But the Democrats don't do nice things, even to the dead.

I am not an authority, but my sense of Mrs. King is that she was pretty much someone who encouraged more socialistic practices in this country, and one who lost sight of the true issues.

I sense that she simply became another lackey for the left wing radicals who have been undermining our economy and nation for years.

I too think that a funeral is not the place for spewing mean spirited politics from the pulpit. They made themselves look like fools.

I remember years ago Jesse Jackson declaring his run for President. The way I recall it is Mrs. King was present, yet did not endorse Mr. Jackson. I wish I had better recall of what I saw, but I came away with the knowledge that Mrs. King did not support Jackson for President, and that said alot to me. Was Jackson at the funeral?

GOOD POINT!

[Voltage]

Not to late for Jimmy Carter to hold a press conference on her grave!
