Coretta Scott King's Funeral...a "Class Act"?
Townhall.com ^ | 2/9/2006 | Matt Towery

Posted on 02/09/2006 7:04:39 AM PST by dson7_ck1249

In some form or fashion, I have known the players in what I am about to describe as a series of regrettable moments at the funeral of Coretta Scott King.

The one I know least, President George W. Bush, won both my sympathy and respect for gallantly enduring the slings and arrows pointed directly at him during what should have been a celebration of a great woman, but instead turned into a political rally

I don't have any balls cuz I'm a lady. But meet me after school at the slide and we can talk. I'll be wearing the tee-shirt with the flag on the front and Rosa Parks on the back. Oh, yeh bring some friends cuz all of mine are Marines and Sailors. And being from NOVA you know how they are..... Sounds like you need a Calgon bath.

""He sounds like a defiant teenager""

I would be really jealous also, if I lost my sex drive, energy and capacity for creative thought and defiance. I will pray for you and hope you get it all back.

actually it is entertaining and I can't stay away from it! I leave for 10 minutes and come back to all kinds of wacky things written about me whcih I anticipated in one of my posts before i left. I do have a client to see, but don't need to leave for about 30 minutes yet, of course I need to do some preparation first, thus my comment about having to leave. So, I have been accused of being 19, not married, a leftist a DU'er, going to pick up a whore, IT IS GREAT!!!!. I did'nt even know there was a DU until about a month ago when someone posted something here about it and I checked it out. More wackos there than here, without a doubt.

I love it here - I absolutely love the things people write, especially when they think I am a 19 year old and stuff like that, a newbie, a senior citizen, etc. I literally laugh out loud at these comments, but it is ok because it is human nature to act this way. It sure as hell beats listening to the radio, and TV doesn't hold a candle to it!!!!!

True. And some of these very NON serious posters can be entertaining at times.

But the serious discussion is what it's all about. And the majority of freepers are here for just that.

hey, being a lady, first is a matter of opinion, and second, these days you never know about the balls things, and third, of course I would expect you to wear a rosa parks shirt. How Me and rosa parks got tied together in this discussion is a mystery to me as I never mentioned her. Just goes to show that people are more interested in venting, getting the upper hand, and strutting their ego than actually having a rational discussion.

As far as your friends, make sure you bring plenty of them. I bet I have more than you do. And of course you would want to meet on a playground, shades of a troubled childhood? It's ok.

We know it is. That's what's so amusing and frightening at the same time.

"How Me and rosa parks (sic!) got tied together in this discussion is a mystery to me as I never mentioned her."

You did in your first post by inference, when you made the silly comment about Coretta's seat on the bus.

A serious question:

is toning it down a function of the number of posters holding opposing positions to mine, or the just the content of my opinion? Because there have been plenty here who have written condescending things about my character,
etc.

Seems if no-one had any problem with my first post here, there would be no need to tone anything down, even if we still had the same level of differing opinions and dis agreements..

So, I guess I am asking is it a popularity contest?

Maybe mail me on this.

Thanks

I question any connection you have to our military. Just because you say it, doesn't make it so.

See........your problem is that there are hundreds upon hundreds of freeper around that I could ping, who prayed with me, and comforted me when my son was in Iraq and cheered and cried with me when he came home.

Some have met him........including another freeper.....a brave and courageous First Sergeant in the Army National Guard..... who had contact with my son while he was driving his armored Humvee in escort patrol missions in the Sunni Triangle.

Many freepers have met me. I'm a real person, Insure, and I'm a real patriot who knows what it's like to suffer because my very young son was fighting to keep us all free.........even YOU.

You can 'question' my connection with the military all you want. It doesn't make you right. It only makes you a fool.

yes, absolutely by inference, but it was (as much as I hate to use the word) satire, given the totality of the whole thing.

LOL! The 'babes' at NOW wouldn't be attractive to ANY healthy male.

This boy is sometimes amusing and sometimes quite frightening, isn't he?

"this is silly - all this attention just for sitting at the front of a bus...."

This is how you were linked to Rosa Parks, okay. You wrote it even though you were wrong if you were linking CSK with sitting at the front of the bus. And what I said was in jest. I'm too old to be egging houses. If you are as sensitive as all that, you ought not be over here at FR, you would be better served over at the DU... now you have to got tell the teacher on us..... go on get outta here before your feelings get hurt again.

OK.........I see what you were saying now.

I misinterpreted because the "Class Act" in the article was referring to President Bush, so when you took off the Cl......you see what I thought?

Anyway, sorry about the misunderstanding.

understood. Lets use your logic, because you have said plently about me which is completely untrue. So, where does it get us? That's my point. What do you want me to prove to you? You base your assessment of my character ONLY on what you have read here, nothing else. I do not for a second doubt anything about you, just turned it around so you can see the other side.
