		<description>Before you decided this was something underhanded did you ask yourself what speeches doesn&#039;t CNN do this for ?
Do you really think for news itens with a limited timeslot that they don&#039;t edit all non-informative intros, clapping, changeovers, etc for Bush&#039;s addresses to the military ?

In 4 years I reckon I&#039;ve seen Bush declare mission accomplished on a battleship 50 times and never seen the whole address or an unedited section of applause once.

This is why they call you hysterical.</description>

		<description>Truly what I say or think has no direct effect upon you.

Comment by Angela #57

&lt;strong&gt;Angela, dahling...

...why don&#039;t you take your own advice...

No one called YOU (specifically by name) a &quot;traitor&quot;...

...unless of course you consider yourself a right wing inbred, &#039;loyalist&#039; worshipper of the criminal traitors Bushiva and L&#039;il Dick...

...do you? &lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>You&#039;ve been called a traitor? Welcome to the club. Best selling conservative books have been written upon the premise that to disagree with conservative philosophy is treason. I believe one of the books was called &quot;Treason.&quot; Don&#039;t expect too much sympathy here.

You have your opinion. Mr and Mrs King&#039;s friends and family have theirs. Tell me. To whose opinion should we defer?</description>

		<description>WOW! I have been called a traitor. Look I am not narrow minded nor have I ever been. No matter what I say here y&#039;all will disect it, as you have done so far. My values have been called into question and too many more things to recite from this page. For those who say I did not know Ms. King personally, you are correct. I gave my oppinion. My bad, I guess I should have toed the same line as everyone else here. I will not make that mistake again. I mean that is basically what y&#039;all want right? But, yet I am the one who follows blindly, and has no oppinion in this America that has died, as so suggested above. First and fore most I am an American, and for every one who has commented here, or in public, or where ever as an American...I may have agreed or not agreed with you, but I have never with intent or anger, used my oppinion to hurt you. Truly what I say or think has no direct effect upon you. I will not speak for anyone else but myself here, which means that even my oppinon will from here on out be nil. Here is the ironic thing...I was feeling hurt and angry by the words here, and then my Son walked in from school with tears running down his face, and I stopped typing and turned to him. He was teased all day today for an inncident in school. While talking with him I told him as long as he holds his head high, and sticks firmly to what his heart believes, and knows, what I know too, that God does not put anything on us that we cannot handle. When he walked away from me and smiled, I turned back here to y&#039;all. Listen when it is all stripped away, the politics and all the crazyness of this horrible world, you and I are Human Beings with families and feelings. You are right to stand up and believe and fight to the death for your family. So keep on standing firm to your beliefs and know that more than anything i wish you all well, and hope that America can find the peace that we are all searching for. God Bless!</description>

		<description>Angela is funny. She has two requests. Leave politics at the door, and celebrate the life of Coretta Scott King. I think those two actions are mutually exclusive.

And saying STFU is not censorship. Censorship is removing your posts and your ability to post. That&#039;s what they do at redstate.org. Telling you to STFU is exercising free speech. So STFU. Or don&#039;t I don&#039;t care. Coretta fought against your political predecessors and we are fighting against you. If that cheeses you off then you should think hard about whose side you are on.

Maybe Bush should just avoid black people. Or maybe he should have delivered a eulogy where he talked about how Coretta and MLK did not appreciate the freedoms they were given, that they were wrong to criticize the President in a time of war, that if they didn&#039;t like being wiretapped then they must have had something to hide. How they were lucky to live in a country where they could criticize the government. How they wouldn&#039;t like living in Iraq. Or how they wanted to surrender to terrorists. 

That would suit the wingnuts better, no?</description>

		<description>I will tell you why, because if I do not write what is politically correct here on this website, then I am the enemy.

Comment by Angela #25

&lt;strong&gt;Angela,

At this point in the country&#039;s history...

when we&#039;re...

...deeply divided politically because of the criminal Bushite regime&#039;s incompetence, mendacity, murderous greed, arrogance, class warfare, sexism and racism...

...and the lockstep, slavish devotion of treasonous inbreds who support this corrupt criminal cabal of traitors...

...anyone who even remotely HINTS at feeling sorry for Bushiva or any of the demons in his support/service IS the enemy...

...in a nutshell sweety, this ain&#039;t politics as usual...

...if you support Bushiva, L&#039;il Dick, Stepford Laura et al. in way, shape or form, you&#039;re a traitor!&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>I watched nearly all of Corettas Scott Kings ulegy or celebration of life on C-Span. Nothing was left out.  It was truly inspiring and memorable. Much of what the King&#039;s had done I also lived through and joined in on. I would of found no fault on any ajenda or lack of one.  The family and their supporters, friends and civil rights groups had the right to do as they saw fit. The right winged nut jobs want to make issues over Bush and pickles, go ahead. Bush and his liers and theives are wrong and it&#039;s no one&#039;s business to critizise the King family. I saw how he (Bush) reacted to the many King supporters. May I add all the applause for every speaker except Bush was truly inspiring as well. Viewing it as I did, I saw a spoiled, evil, inept pair of people unwilling to understand the human condition and the followers of peace, civil rights and non violence. Waramonging, self imposed dictator Bush want&#039;s every one to worship at his feet, it ain&#039;t gonna happen. I doubt Bush would have such a service, filled with love, understanding and fellowship.  Now we must continue on......Blessings to the King Family and all who spoke out for human rights. Impeach now.</description>

I doubt Bush would have such a service, filled with love, understanding and fellowship.  Now we must continue on&#8230;&#8230;Blessings to the King Family and all who spoke out for human rights.

		<description>Angela came here and posted her knee jerk reactions without knowing anything about who said and did what.  

Angela said:

What I am trying to say is that Coretta Scott Kingâ€™s funeral should have been a celebaration of her lifeâ€¦I am sure that her family would have agreed with that. I really doubt that they want to remember their Mothers funeral as a Political forum.

&lt;em&gt;When did you become the family spokesperson?  Her family was not only in attendance and standing for Dr. Lowery, her daughter Bernice mentioned political issues in her eulogy.  Are you insinuating that she did so to dishonor her mother?  Don&#039;t be ridiculous.  The family made the arrangements.  The family chose speakers.  The family isn&#039;t upset.  Stay out of other people&#039;s personal affairs.  You wouldn&#039;t want someone outside of your family trying to tell you how you should honor your deceased relative would you?  Somehow, I think not.&lt;/em&gt;

Angela also said:

I mean this was supposed to be about Coretta Scott Kingâ€™s life and all of the wonderful things that She and her Husband accomplished, right??? Not to dump on the current Admins. policiesâ€¦ So here is my thought, â€ Leave the Politics at the door when attending a Funeral.â€ 


&lt;em&gt;Again we are faced with a double standard.  No regressives from the right were throwing tantrums during Reagan&#039;s week long memorial.  Nobody said they shouldn&#039;t be talking politics.  Nobody condemned the regressives for using Reagan&#039;s death to &quot;get on their soap box&quot;.  Nobody spoke up about the sanctity of a funeral being violated.  Once again regressives show themselves to be hypocrites.  I refuse to further cater to their arrogance.  &lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>From Suzanne.   I am not saying Angela cannot state her view.  But look at it this way.  A funeral took place.  Who are the people speaking against it?  The right.   Is it really about the funeral? no.  It&#039;s about what was said there. It happened in a way that served Coretta King&#039;s legacy, her family, and friends.  End of story.  To use the gambit of saying a funeral was not the place for these things is dishonest.  Dishonesty on the right.   They are hiding behind fake propriety.  If a great athletee died, his funeral would probably have speakers that talked about his great achievements or vision of sports.  i.e....about his life..the core of his life.   Angela has a narrow view of what can and cannot happen at funerals..   Reminds me of Terry schaivo.   The right &quot;knows&quot; how we are supposed to live folks...regarding manners, views, how to die, how to pray....and on and on.  They HIDE behind their assumed chosen beliefs of truth and correctness...and are shocked when others don&#039;t hold them.  It scares them and they ( many of them ) don&#039;t think deeply.  But....guess what.  Again,  If chuckles the clown died and his friends knew he had a passion.. a passion mind you,  for water spuirting out of fake flowers, I bet we would see a few at his funeral.   Angela doesn&#039;t see her own blindness.</description>
