All the Righties bitch about the funeral politization...
they were strangely silent over the week long slobber-fest over Reagan.
No one on the right, or left for that matter talked about the impropriety of politicizing Reagan's passing.

Why was it ok for the Right but such a travesty for King's funeral?

1. IT WAS NOT POLITICAL, OR PERSONAL
the only thing that was attacked were his policies, NOT BUSH PERSONALLY

WHY? because his policies affected peoples civil rights, and human dignity, and that is what the King legacy is all about, fighting violations of civil rghts. Remember hoover did illegal wire taps on Martin Luther King, and falsely accused him of being a communist

remember katrina, and who was affected most, the poor

This was very appropriate for her memorial

3. Oh, but that wasn't politicization.
It was deification.

4. Who the hell are they to bitch about SOMEONE ELSE'S funeral?!
The ONLY people who have a RIGHT to complain about ANYTHING that was said at the funeral are CSK's family! If they don't have a problem with the things that were said, then no one else should either.

The RWers and talking heads need to SHUT UP AND MIND THEIR OWN DAMN BUSINESS! :grr:



It's the same old story with them...
They always bitch and moan about the Democrats speaking up, yet they never, EVER discuss the CONTENT of what was said. Attack the messenger, but ignore the message. If the Dems are wrong, the RWers wouldn't have to bitch about what was said - they could simply refute the comments with facts. No hissy-fits, no "outrage", no ridiculous discussions about whether or not the Dems had a "right" to speak up or if it was "appropriate" to speak up. All they would have to do is calmly say, "Those comments were wrong because ..." and then offer a counter-argument. But they can't do that because they don't have the facts or the truth on their side. Every bully since the beginning of time has used this tactic ... why can't people see it for what it is? :shrug:
