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.

Normally, I would not get involved in a debate like this, but you have insulted a friend here on FR...I can attest that OWF is a real person(LOL) and her son served in Iraq at the same time my hubby was there...in fact through FR they met at Ft Campbell while waiting to be deployed....they linked up again in Balad and spent an hour and a half talking........but, I guess we could both be lying.....you'll just never know..

It's really simple. He's been so insulting that he even got the attention of a Moderator.

Instead of the focus being on her -- honoring her, mourning her -- they had to make it all about them. Their egos are so huge they can't give up the spotlight to anyone else.

see, your the classic example here. Gotta win every argument, if not, then your way out is to call people names., 4-5 instances in your last post alone.

It's really wacko, let me tell you.

oh actually I do get it. The fun is watching you accuse me of 'not getting it'. It is precious.

It's like the old trick, pulling a quarter out from behind a child's ear. Makes me wonder if YOU get it....

I think you upset people with your ignorance by mentioning Mrs. Park's bus incident when speaking about CSK. ... but look I'm not going to get upset about your inference about my very normal Va. Bch upbringing. ... not gonna tell the teacher (administrator) on ya'.
It will all be okay in the morning. And believe me, you're not worth my gas money for a late night egging and toilet papering (and possible sugar in the gas tank)

Means absolutely nothing coming from someone I don't know, other than by the inane follow the crowd writings you've posted. But hey, no problem. You can think what you want.

If Freeper opinions mean absolutely nothing to you, why are you being defensive? It's not logical.

I'll tell you what YOU have....

a BIG TIME PROBLEM with the mods telling you to tone it down.

Here's a REAL BIG HINT for you. The mods on this board ARE OTHER FREEPERS!! They know who is who and who tends to lie and who tends to NOT lie.

OhioWfan has been through a lot in the past 3 years. I would suggest you back off.

Well you got the first part right, except I am not so sure about your age or mental maturity after reading your posts. I also notice that you have said you were going to leave not ONCE but now TWICE. Tell us when you've made up your mind.
