Just when you thought the Democrats could not get any more despicable, they do that very thing, they outdo themselves in fact. Like Sailors on leave, like convicts escaped from jail, like teenage boys away from home for the first time, Democrats seem to have no control over their own actions. Like watching patients in a mental institution, watching Democrats perform their “Circus of Absurdity” is an exercise in pity, sadness, humor, derision and ridicule.
On hand for the funeral of Coretta Scott King were President Bush and Bill Clinton, Gerald ford and Jimmy Carter. The “Reverend” Jerry Lowery:
The outspoken Rev. Joseph Lowery, co-founder of Southern Christian Leadership Conference, ripped into President Bush during his short speech, ostensibly about the wife of Martin Luther King Jr."She extended Martin's message against poverty, racism and war. She deplored the terror inflicted by our smart bombs on missions way afar. We know now that there were no weapons of mass destruction over there," Lowery said. "But Coretta knew, and we know," Lowery continued, "That there are weapons of misdirection right down here," he said, nodding his head toward the row of presidents past and present. "For war, billions more, but no more for the poor!".
I make no case against Lowery’s statement. Whether I agree or disagree with him is irrelevant. My angst is generated by his decision to make the statement at the funeral of Coretta King. President Bush was there to honor the woman. To politicize the event and to seize the opportunity to embarrass the President of the United States, is beyond bad taste, it is egregious and despicable.
Also speaking today was former President Jimmy Carter, without question the most incompetent man to inhabit the White House in our memory if not in the history of the country. Carter went beyond the Pale of heinous behavior.
Former President Jimmy Carter later swung at Bush as well, not once but twice. As he talked about the Kings, he said: "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." The crowd cheered as Bush, under fire for a secret wiretapping program he ordered after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, again smiled weakly.
It is quite clear that the Democrats simply have no concept of proper decorum. It is clear that they will stop at nothing, including smearing the memory of a dead American icon, in order to further their nefarious agenda. Democrats apparently have no sense of common decency, no sense of fair play, no use for common courtesy and respect, and it seems as well that they have no respect for themselves.
They continue to make fools of themselves in full view of the American public. Democrats have no souls. It is a regrettable fact of life that Democrats cannot be treated with the respect due reasonable people.

Yes, Jimmy Carter was especially disgusting. Martin Luther King was wiretapped by a Democrat, Robert F. Kennedy. Bush's wiretaps are to prevent terrorists from blowing things up and killing people. To equate the two is more than dishonest, it is reprehensible.
Your assessment of what occurred at the King funeral is right on the money. Despecable behavior. The depth of their anger is showing. They just cannot stand being out of power. The purpose of a funeral is to pay respect to those who have died, and not to be used as a political forum. Jimmy Carter does not know his history very well. J Edgar Hoovver did a wire tap of King at the insistence of Robert Kennedy.
Hey now, just because sailors like to get drunk and carouse with women of questionable moral character does not mean we are not in control of our own actions.
We just like to get drunk and have sex with women in Third World countries for $5.
