Wrong person. That was Rosa Parks. And your weak attempt to diminish what was a brave stand by her shows your true character. You might have a career speaking at Republican funerals and memorial services.

Yes, yes, everyone, I know exactly who it was. Just a bit of humor for the humourless who are being outed here (at least Coop was respectful)

I'm glad my true character has been shown. Easy to determine this by reading about 10 words in a post and knowing absolutely positively nothing at all else about the person. Now THERE is a show of true character...

I agree that the attempt to diminish the stand taken by Rosa Parks was less than honorable, but I think you went over the edge with your statement:

You might have a career speaking at Republican funerals and memorial services.

I have seen no evidence of Republicans turning funerals into bash-the-deceased amateur mike nights, whereas there is a lot of evidence that the Dems see funerals as "free shot at the republicans" events.

Basically, it is the difference between what Presidents Bush and even President Clinton did - they honored the lady being memorialized. Clinton did so more self-servingly, but he still talked about her without slinging mud at Dubya.

Coretta Scott King was, by all accounts, a gracious lady. It's a pity she could not have been remembered in a more gracious manner by her supposed firends/allies.
