THE HYPOCRISY OF IT
I was embarrased for the Democrats at King’s funeral. The opportunity to politicize even a funeral cannot be left alone.
Lowery said "We know there were no weapons of mass destruction over there, but Coretta knew and we knew there are weapons of misdirection right down here."
Sounds cute but he knows and the press has ignored this . Something I have said all along. Giving Saddam four months notice we are coming was stupid.
Jimmy Carter, a democrat, after railing about all the good stuff he did around the world (thought he was there to honor Coretta), then says "It was difficult for them then personally with the civil liberties of both husband and wife violated as they became the target of secret government wiretaps." A wild cheer from the crowd at the funeral erupts. Obviously this message was aimed at Bush about the secret tapping occurring now.
No wonder he was one of the worst President in our history (inflation at 21 percent, unemployment at ____, gas lines, stopped support for the Shah of Iran which was as democratic as the Middle East got at that time thus allowing the FIRST Alloytoya Khomeni into power that led to the Iran hostages, failed and fatal rescue attempt by piss poor planning and a failed presidency), SO HEY, JIMMY..IN CASE YOU FORGOT, IT WAS YOUR PARTY THAT WIRE TAPPED MARTIN LUTHER KING SECRETLY!!!

On October 10, 1963, U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy committed what is widely viewed as one of the most ignominious acts in modern American history: he authorized the Federal Bureau of Investigation to begin wiretapping the telephones of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. Kennedy believing that one of King's closest advisers was a top-level member of the American Communist Party, and that King had repeatedly misled Administration officials about his ongoing close ties with the man. Kennedy acted reluctantly, and his order remained secret until May of 1968, just a few weeks after King's assassination and a few days before Kennedy's own. But the FBI onslaught against King that followed Kennedy's authorization remains notorious, and the stains on the reputations of everyone involved are indelible.
Then Ted Kennedy gets up there and the crowd gives him a standing O? Folks, read the above again. IT WAS HIS BROTHER ATTACKING CORETTA’S HUSBAND!!!! My God, the hypocrisy is too damn thick here.
Then the Clintons, the First Black President who sure is the whitest I ever saw, arrived on stage with his wife (or whatever she is to him these days) to a roar from the crowd at the funeral. Can someone name anyone he placed in a high cabinet position in his eight years that was Black other than Ronald Brown?
There are more, but two come to my mind that President Bush has appointed
And who was a member of the KKK? Read your history. Senator Robert K. Bird, a dem!! But all we heard about from the press was David Duke which the Repubs denounced. Did the Dems denounce Bird? Ahem. I believe he is still a Senator.
Man, some people otta wake up and see how they are being exploited. If I were “of color”, I think I would be either a Republican or an Independent. I certainly would NOT be an exploited democrat!!
