Lounge Daddy Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 [url="http://www.drudgereport.com/flash8.htm"]from article HERE[/url] [quote] 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. The mostly black crowd applauded, then rose to its feet and cheered in a two-minute-long standing ovation. A closed-circuit television in the mega-church outside Atlanta showed the president smiling uncomfortably. "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!" The crowd again cheered wildly. Former President Jimmy Carter later swung at Bush as well, not once but twice...[/quote] im sorry but these people are pathetic, and seem to have no shame - and obsessed with thier political agenda these are the same people that "honor" Martin Luther King on his national holliday by claiming God wants Louisianna to be a "chocolate city" and telling an audience that congress is run like a cotton farm, however Hillery Clinton put it they are so friggin blinded by thier selfishness that they forget (or refuse to understand) that Martin King spoke out against the racial barriers that these jerks are using to further push thier personal agendas. Martin King asked that his children "not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Martin King inspired... These liberal race-baiters only piss me off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy me Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Didn't we see this happen in MN right before the last senate election? I do not understand why you attack another at a funeral? I thought that it was supposed to be a celebration of a life well lived here and hopefully continuing in the presence of the Lord. I just don't understand this. If you can't say something nice...

Era Might Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Just curious: Did Coretta share similar views of the war? Generally, I would say without a doubt that a funeral is no place for politics. But, this is a woman who stood for something big. If her family was comfortable with this, that's their business. If the family wasn't happy with this, I agree, it's shameless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resurrexi Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 MLK was an adulterer, womanizer, supporter of planned parenthood, supporter of fornication, and a communist. He was truly evil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Wednesday Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 [url="http://www.plannedparenthood.org/pp2/portal/files/portal/medicalinfo/birthcontrol/pub-martin-luther-king.xml"]http://www.plannedparenthood.org/pp2/porta...luther-king.xml[/url] Well, MLK wasn't a saint -- though I think he did some important things. I do get tired of people "sainting" him. I didn't know that King was in a tight alliance with Planned Parenthood and Sanger. That is a disappointment. It is tacky to politicize a funeral. Can you imagine if Reagan's funeral had any pro-Republican elements in it? The left would be crapping bricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
