 Hypocrisy on Display at King’s Funeral?Posted on Feb 7, 2006Bush attends the services of Coretta Scott King while simultaneously pressing on with a warrantless spying program. | story AP: LITHONIA, Ga. - Ten thousand mourners—including four U.S. presidents, numerous members of Congress and many gray-haired veterans of the civil rights movement—said goodbye to Coretta Scott King on Tuesday, with President Bush saluting her as “a woman who worked to make our nation whole.” The immense crowd filled the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church—a modern, arena-style megachurch in a suburban Atlanta county that was once a stronghold of the Ku Klux Klan but today has one of the most affluent black populations in the country.

Funny how you conveniently ‘forgot’ to mention that the wiretapping of Dr. King was done by Democrat Robert Kennedy. And the wiretapping was expressly done to attempt to discredit the civil rights leader by catching him in a compromising position with women.
What a stretch it is to try to connect the eavesdropping on foreign terrorists who are planning to blow up our citizens to the personal political agendas of the 1960’s Democrats.
While the left sunk so low as to spew their anti-Bush venom at Mrs. King’s funeral, it only further demonstrates the hatred and anger of the left. This funeral was a diservice to Dr. King and Mrs. King and all they stood for. I’m sure they both are ashamed of the spectacle.

What a disgusting, deplorable display of hatred and stupidity.
Report thisMy parents were themselves civil rights activists; my mother was arrested when 9 months pregnant with me, marching in front of a restaurant in TN that would not allow blacks to dine. I also remember well all of the green and white Carter/Mondale that adorned our house, cars, and selves in the 70’s. But anyone with any shred of sense or decency is ashamed of what took place in GA yesterday: what should have been a ceremony to honor and celebrate a woman’s life became a 6 hour hate-filled freak fest.
