Just Another Excuse To Bash Bush
I can’t say that this behaviour surprised me, but it did leave me shaking my head!Â
As seen at Michelle Malkin’s
The Democrats just can’t restrain themselves. Absolutely ungodly.Â
Expose the Left has video of Jimmy Carter and Joseph Lowery gone wild with Bush-bashing sermons at Coretta Scott King’s funeral.
Drudge reports.
AP reports on the atmosphere:
The audience showed where its allegiance lay when former President Clinton and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, came to the podium to wild cheers and a long standing ovation. He opened by saying that he was honored to be with the other former presidents. Someone in the crowd yelled out, “Future president!” in reference to his wife’s possible 2008 bid.
Guess that plantation pandering worked, eh, Hillary?

Video flashback: Clinton at Ron Brown’s funeral.
Just one question: Was Ted Kennedy there?

I was waiting for this topic to post so I could vent. This is absolutely a new disgraceful low in the annals of the political slime pond. The use the occasion of a funeral to attack a political opponent. Filthy, degenerate, low-life trash.
Jimmy Carter should especially have known better, having been a President. He is a maggot. He should immediately forfeit all pension, all benefits, and his Secret Service protection. I don’t know who this Lowery pos is, but Jimmy Carter is worse then reprehensible.
Why doesn’t he just die so we don’t have to put up with him anymore?
February 8, 2006 - 12:51 AM on February 8th, 2006
I was so steamed about the filthy degeneracy of Peanut Man and POS Lowery that I forgot to mention a glaring reality that should be strikingly obvious and telling to all who saw this:
Notice how Condoleeza Rice and Clarence Thomas were not there? Two black persons who have accomplished great things, who exemplify the reality of the dream of Dr. King. I heard they were not invited!
Yet Democrite after Democrite got up there and played the race card even while two people who should have been in the spotlight weren’t invited because “dey done left de plantation”.
You Liberal Democrite race-mongers are the most vile skum in the political pond. Arch-hypocrites, liars, manipulators, and degenerates.
February 8, 2006 - 12:54 AM on February 8th, 2006
“The Democrats just can’t restrain themselves. Absolutely ungodly”.
They have no soul, no moral direction, no humility, no compassion, no honor, no respect, no love, no loyalty, no dedication, no decency, no shame, no message, and no future. “Ungodly” is apt for a group of people who have turned that back and spit on the very ideas that most children are taught in sunday school. They should be embarrassed!
Senataor Dodd (d) connecticut summed it up
“We seem to be losing our voice when it comes to the basic things people worry about,”

Rev. Lowery, one of America’s genuine heroes, spoke truth to power today at the King Memorial. His words were in the best of the prophetic Christian preaching tradition. Rev. King and Mrs. King would have been proud of their friend. All of those who are criticizing Rev. Lowery simply do not understand God’s call for us to “do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with”our God (Micah 6:8). I only wish President Bush took his Christian faith more seriously.
February 8, 2006 - 01:08 AM on February 8th, 2006
Is it Christian justice to use a funeral to take a political cheap shot at the President in time of war? I don’t think so.
February 8, 2006 - 01:31 AM on February 8th, 2006
A funeral service is a time to preach the world of God. God tells in the Bible that war is against God’s way, Jesus tells us that how we treat the poor reflects on how we treat him, and we are all called to do justice to protect God’s creation, this earth. The President ignores those teachings. A church service – even a funeral – is where the Gospel is preached. Bush is in conflict with God’s teachings and that must have made him uncomfortable. Good. Church isn’t a country club. If you don’t walk away thinking what more can I do then the church has failed – or you’ve failed to listen.
February 8, 2006 - 07:53 AM on February 8th, 2006
Chuck, spare us the hypocritical lectures. Christ was not a politician. He chased the money grubbing money changers out of the Temple. He would have chased Lowrey and Carter out, too.
You dimwits didn’t learn from the Wellstone fiasco. But for you Chuck, you’ll learn when you meet Jesus.
February 8, 2006 - 08:13 AM on February 8th, 2006
God never said that you should help others by robbing Peter to pay Paul? God never said you should help others by getting someone else to help them for you. Charity begins at home not the federal government. How many people have been locked into poverty because of so called “liberal” ideology? Too many to count. How much more good could be done locally with the billions that are wasted annually on these failed programs? The democrats can pretend to be the great defenders of the poor all they want, but people who can think realize they are the worst enemy of the poor.
February 8, 2006 - 08:16 AM on February 8th, 2006
What struck me was the missed opportunity, this past week, to highlight all that was accomplished within Mrs. Kings life. Where were the MSM with the footage/commentaries from the Civil Rights activities during the MLK days? Where was the history lesson for the kids? What I got out of the past week was Bush bashing and Oprah was at the memorial. Oh and if you read the People article, you will know that Coretta marched along side her husband, as she wore hi-heels! Yes thats right, she did!
Talk about destroying a legacy! There is no one that took the torch..it goes to the grave with the Kings.
February 8, 2006 - 09:11 AM on February 8th, 2006
Chuck, was the good Michael King living in “God’s way” when he was committing adultery on a daily basis? Lying and cheating? Cavorting with communists?
How godly was the good “Dr.’s” life???
you ignorant ass.
February 8, 2006 - 09:14 AM on February 8th, 2006
It’s quite appropriat the the shrill bitch, Hillary was there, after all, Coretta Scott King must have been quite an inspiration to the carpet-bagging bitch..in looking the other way as their husbands fucked everything with a hole.
how’s that for God’s teachings, Chuck????
February 8, 2006 - 09:21 AM on February 8th, 2006
I never post on blogs…I guess I never felt the need. But after yesterday, I am so irritated with what I saw. You have the NAACP making horrible comments about Bush comparing him to Hitler, and now using a funeral to bash our president!! How low can you go? This makes the Wellstone funeral seem mild.
What do WMD’s have to do with Coretta? Did Carter mention that it was the Kennedy administration that spied on the Kings???? Is he comparing the Kings to the terrorists that Bush is spying on? What an embarrassment our previous president has become.
Do you libs need to be reminded of few facts in American history? Who freed the slaves? Who declared MLK’s birthday a national holiday? Do any of you realize how much of our budget goes to the poor compared to our national defense??
If you want to use the bible to reference, how about helping your fellow man (when they are being murdered and tortured by a dictator) How about giving a man a fishing pole and showing him how to fish, not just giving him the fish?
Anyone who thinks Martin Luther King would be happy with this memorial service is absolutely nuts. It seems Clinton was the only one other than the president and the president’s father who had any taste whatsoever. It’s situations like this that drives the races apart…not bring them together.
February 8, 2006 - 09:40 AM on February 8th, 2006
Sandy,
Well said on your point. If you want to peer into the sick, twisted mind of a liberal. Go to dailykos and check out the reaction to the reaction regarding the dispicable display. They are proud of Carter, Lowery, et al. Can you believe that???
PLEASE, EVERYONE.. I AM BEGGING YOU….”Dr. Martin Luther” King, Jr’s LEGAL NAME is MICHAEL KING…. he was a communist, a plagiarist and a rampant adulterer…. enough of the hero worship of this fraud….
Fuck Michael King, Fuck Jimmy Carter, and Fuck all of those race pimps out there continuing to try and drive this country into the dirt.
SPEAK THE TRUTH.
February 8, 2006 - 10:11 AM on February 8th, 2006
Carter was americas worse president and along comes our nations former president along with her husband all standing on the soap boxes ballbering their usial blabber what a bunch of reptiles:mad:
February 8, 2006 - 10:58 AM on February 8th, 2006
#6: Ever heard of the concept of the “Just War”? Yep, it has been thoroughly debated and at least as far as catholic Church policy is concerned, the State cannot be held to the same Christian ideals as an individual. The State has the responsibility for defense and that includes war and killing.
So every time I hear someone say that the Bible forbids war I know I am talking to someone who either has adopted their own interpretation, or just is unaware that issue has been thoroughly examined, debated, and resolved.
Either way, it has nothing to do with the shameful, disgraceful display by Democrite Peanut Brain.
February 8, 2006 - 11:00 AM on February 8th, 2006
#11: Sandy, very well summarized. And isn’t it remarkable that the only Democrite that displayed any taste whatsoever was Klinton, of all people?
February 8, 2006 - 11:41 AM on February 8th, 2006
I hate to say this, but Clinton has enough sense to know where to draw the line at a funeral. He may have crossed the line at other venues, but he was smart enough to stick with the issues at hand… what the Kings stood for and how Coretta carried the torch for her slained husband.
And super Kudos to President Bush for handling all this bashing so gracefully. I supposed by now, he ought to be used to it. Impeach him for spying on the enemy inside of our borders???? Boy are the Dems reaching.
February 8, 2006 - 11:45 AM on February 8th, 2006
Did you hear that it was 6 HOURS long? I don’t even think the Pope’s funeral was that long.
February 8, 2006 - 12:05 PM on February 8th, 2006
you would need 600 hours to go down the laundry list of Michael King’s plagiarism, adultery and communist affiliations.
February 8, 2006 - 12:41 PM on February 8th, 2006
Kinda sad I missed it, sounds like it got you guys in bit of a flap.
then again the little I caught of it, some preacher woman saying that she was a world leader (I’ve never heard of her so as important as she is here, she is no world figure), sounded a little to godly for me to stomach. When I die, throw me in a ditch and say so long.
February 8, 2006 - 01:46 PM on February 8th, 2006
No real surprise. The same thing happened at the Wellstone memorial/political rally in ‘02.
All it did was piss off the right and the left lost even more seats.
So, for as disgusting a display as it was, let them keep doing this. It reveals the left for what it is, appeals to people’s sense of outrage, and motivates the right into action.
February 8, 2006 - 01:53 PM on February 8th, 2006
21. granted, but it just pisses me off that when the great Ronals W. Reagan passed, I had to sit there and read page after page about his “controversial” stands and his “innatention to the AIDS crisis” and his “homophobia” yada yada yada yada yada…
why no mention of King’s communist ties? why no mention of Coretta Scott King blazing a trail for Hillary in looking the other way while their husbands dipped their fandanglers into any whore that came across their path? Why no mentino of Michael King’s plagiarism and his wife’s complicencey?????
why???????
February 8, 2006 - 01:55 PM on February 8th, 2006
Oh, I forget… white people are evil, sexist, racist, homophobic, etc… and black “civil rights leaders” are as pure as the driven snow…..how could I forget.
Why not just have an Al Sharpton holiday, since apparently all it takes to be revered as a civil rights leader is to be a loud-mouthed rabble rouser.
Coming to a ghetto near you…Al Sharpton Avenue! Louis Farrakhan Way!!!!
February 8, 2006 - 01:56 PM on February 8th, 2006
I fucking despise phoney hypocrites.
February 8, 2006 - 02:13 PM on February 8th, 2006
nothing is sacred anymore….nothing. Politics does NOT stop at the water’s edge, and the quiet dignity of someone’s passing is NO LONGER off limits to blow hards…
what a disgusting world we live in today.
February 8, 2006 - 02:29 PM on February 8th, 2006
Their hate for Bush is not going to get them anywhere. It makes you wonder who are they going to bash at funerals once he is out of office? They so overlook the issues because of their hatred of one individual. I say let them keep it up and dig their own grave.
February 8, 2006 - 02:33 PM on February 8th, 2006
Well, they have managed to drive down the president’s numbers, undermine the war effort, align much of the rest of the world with terrorists…
so, their hatred for Bush has gotten them somewhere..unfortunately, it’s to the ultimate detriment of the American People.
February 8, 2006 - 02:41 PM on February 8th, 2006
I don’t rely on poll numbers much. Exit polls on the presidential election claimed a Kerry victory…thank God they were wrong.
Undermining the war effort is hurting them more than Bush…and right now the rest of the world is learning alot about these terrorists as we speak!
February 8, 2006 - 02:47 PM on February 8th, 2006
Mike, It’s true their hatred and lies have gotten them somewhere but in the court of public opinion I think you will start to see a trend where the leftist dems start losing elections on such a scale that another party will eventually take over the moderates currently calling themselves dems.
We need to sit back and watch their behavior and be one better. Bush didn’t back bite. That’s the thing. He and his wife have class and true Christian values. In the end that’s all that will count.
February 8, 2006 - 04:31 PM on February 8th, 2006
I heard the rest of Lower’s speech today and it was even worse than I thought. After taking the cheap shot at Bush, he goes on to play the race-card bigtime.
Whatever the “hero” did in the past, whatever he was, this reveals that he is now just another race-baiter, race mongerer who secures his own position by helpoing to keep other black people on the Democrite plantation.
February 8, 2006 - 06:12 PM on February 8th, 2006
How many more must die from the evil of insane government:?: the pigs will tell you all of us for one world ideals.
February 8, 2006 - 06:25 PM on February 8th, 2006
I take it you escaped Waco? Waco-where they believed in impregnating 10 year olds:roll:
February 8, 2006 - 08:07 PM on February 8th, 2006
yes i did, long live something? see code book 9 of 1265:roll:
February 8, 2006 - 08:14 PM on February 8th, 2006
to peejz, No! kids were raped at Waco only the rights of people and the political lies live on FOR GOOD REASON THE GUY WHO ORDERED THE MASS KILLING OF INNOCENT PEOPLE MUST LOOK GOOD TO THE FOOLS.
ask who was killed at Waco how many kids did bill ordered killed? but its pointless to write or talk to fools who want evil doers running things and who love evil.
February 8, 2006 - 08:15 PM on February 8th, 2006
One more thing I forgot to post about was the stupid wild cheering and ovations of the audience to the demagogueing, race-baiting, and disgraceful antics of some of the speakers.
They loudly proclaimed their fealty their white Masters, the Democrite leadership. Fools. They don’t even realize they are firmly on the plantation.
February 8, 2006 - 08:28 PM on February 8th, 2006
Let me guess Fred, the children willingly slept with David?
There is no excuse for the way the government handled Waco, but Fred, woman and children were raped in the compound. Some that escaped aren’t as enamored as you are!
February 9, 2006 - 05:38 PM on February 9th, 2006
but remember i am a nothing inside the empire of total corruption of the ideals of human and civil rights. oh yes will you take that job as camp Guard when bush orders the removal of people from the south-west for the ideals of the drug dealers of Mexico who are in fact the drug dealer of our non government.
February 9, 2006 - 07:44 PM on February 9th, 2006
Just see for yourself. check out this

February 11, 2006 - 02:48 PM on February 11th, 2006
Have any of you read/heard the eulogy that MLK gave for the four girls that were killed in the Alabama church bombing? It is a highly political speech. If he himself thought it appropriate then, why would similar speeches be wrong for a memorial to his wife? Speaking out against any violence, war or otherwise, is part of the King legacy.
February 11, 2006 - 09:43 PM on February 11th, 2006
36- SW I have read it. This Eulogy was delivered at funeral service for three of the children”Addie Mae Collins, Carol Denise McNair, and Cynthia Diane Wesley”killed in the bombing. A separate service was held for the fourth victim, Carole Robertson, Sept. 17, 1963, at St. John AME Church. As you can see from the text that I provided, Dr King discussed the subject at hand. He discussed the senseless death of these innocent children. He discussed the fact the death is not the end. NO WHERE did he turn the funeral service into a political circus. NO WHERE did he stray from the subject at hand and tie in the troops in Vietnam, or wire tapping.
No where do I see a comparison that is relevant!
February 12, 2006 - 12:02 AM on February 12th, 2006
I guess, SW, you’d have no problem if Bush had used his speaking time to point out what treasonous maggots Ted Kennedy, Turban Durbin, and others are?
February 12, 2006 - 12:41 AM on February 12th, 2006
In tribute to a woman who spent her life speaking to those who remain behind the “safe security of stained-glass windows”her funeral featured tributes by several of the courageous speakers Dr. King refers to below.
These paragraphs from Dr. King go far beyond the “subject at hand”they are harsh words addressed directly to the relevant politics of the day.
edited by peejz. The link to the quote is in my post above. There is no need to reprint it. Had you read what Dr. King said, you would understand that he is referring to the senseless killing of 4 young girls because of the color of their skin!
The breadth of Mrs. King’s life work made the discussion of nearly any struggle, injustice or political situation relevant today.
February 12, 2006 - 12:54 AM on February 12th, 2006
Robert – Each of the speakers you seem to object to spoke of ISSUES related to the struggles for peace and justice that Mrs. King spent her life working toward. If Mr. Bush spoke of abuses of peace and justice rather than direct personal attacks on politicians he would have had every right.
February 12, 2006 - 03:22 AM on February 12th, 2006
It wasn’t just issues of Peace and Justice. They were political cheap shots with a very thin veneer of “peace and justice issues”.
And had Bush done that (political situation) he would have been just as wrong as those that dishonored Mrs. King by using the occasion as a political grandstand. But Bush dispalyed a lot of class when he didn’t, and frankly more patience and restraint than I would have shown by not getting up and walking out when Peanut Brain opened his mouth and expelled diarrhea.
February 13, 2006 - 12:05 AM on February 13th, 2006
Glad Mr. Bush didn’t take a day devoted to honoring our veterans to launch a political attack against his critics. That really would have been a cheap shot…
The bottom line is a family that mixed politics and religion was honored with mix of politics and religion by those that knew them best.
February 13, 2006 - 08:01 AM on February 13th, 2006
Yes, god knows that Veteran’s Day is the worst possible day to address your troops and tell that that they are doing a good job and that we won’t leave them hanging. Why would he take that day of all days to let them know that contrary to the reports coming from the elected Democrats, they are doing the job they were sent to do.
February 13, 2006 - 12:39 PM on February 13th, 2006
46… yes, a family that mixed adultery, plagiarism and communism was honored….NOT BY ME.
February 13, 2006 - 04:18 PM on February 13th, 2006
You’re right, SW #42. Bush should have used his Veteran’s Day speech time for something else. Let’s see…what would be acceptable to the Left? Maybe an announcement of surrender to Al Qaeda? Perhaps divulging of all secret programs used by our intelligence agencies in the war on terror? Details: Programs, methods, logistics, targets, etc. you know, so the Leftists in Congress and the MSM will be satisfied.
Or maybe Bush could have admitted that he stole both the 2000 and 2004 elections, now that would be something the Left would approve of, correct?
Liberalism is a form of mental illness…
February 13, 2006 - 04:32 PM on February 13th, 2006
Only a liberal would think that the funeral of a womanizing, plagiarizing, communist was a good forum for attacking a sitting president during a time of war.
February 13, 2006 - 04:32 PM on February 13th, 2006
Only a liberal would think that the funeral of a womanizing, plagiarizing, communist’s wife was a good forum for attacking a sitting president during a time of war.
February 13, 2006 - 08:23 PM on February 13th, 2006
Isn’t this site devoted to everyone being “right”? I enjoy the discussion of different opinions not being called names for having them.
February 13, 2006 - 09:37 PM on February 13th, 2006
I guess you should get thicker skin!
February 13, 2006 - 11:36 PM on February 13th, 2006
I do have a thick skin.
It’s just interesting – in a discussion that began with what was called inappropriate behavior at a funeral – how many of the posts contain personal attacks and name calling of office holders rather than any discussion of the issue.
February 14, 2006 - 01:30 AM on February 14th, 2006
There was no discussion of the issue? The issue is how degenerate, how slimy, how disgraceful peanut barin and Lowery were for using the occasion of the funeral for political attacks.
That’s been well discussed. That is the issue!
February 14, 2006 - 07:58 AM on February 14th, 2006
SW, I’m tired of elitist, arrogant, asshat Democrats like you coming in to a forum and trying to dictate decorum, manners, and content. You want to clean up a filthy den of corruption, go to “Daily Krap”, MoveOn.org or Democratic Underground.
You want to stay here, take you lumps and behave like a person, not an autocrat.
Now, I have a little piece at Iowa Voice entitled, “If They Were Honest…” Read it and take a good look at yourself and your party.
February 14, 2006 - 10:07 AM on February 14th, 2006
Again – I was not trying to dictate decorum – but it’s interesting in a discussion that began with what was appropriate a funeral – so many of the posts contain name calling. As you speak for the party that is supposed to be the one of ideas and manners doesn’t the endless name calling disprove this?
February 14, 2006 - 10:16 AM on February 14th, 2006
Let’s see.. a funeral in which they stray from the person and decide to take pot shots at the POTUS or a political blog that is right leaning and we spend our time bashing the left…
We are not being paid by the party are we SW? We are here to talk amongst ourselves and rehash news stories.
February 14, 2006 - 10:32 AM on February 14th, 2006
A little name-calling adds spice, emphasis to the discussion. What I called them was my opinion, and I speak for myself, as I’d guess everyone who posts here does (and Peejz pointed out we are not spokespeople for a political party).
February 14, 2006 - 10:59 AM on February 14th, 2006
Peejz – this site’s mission statemet states that this is a place for everyone to discuss the views that they feel are “right”. I’ll stop posting here if these words are not true…
“For everyone who feels strongly that their opinion is right – - there is always someone there to debate that it’s wrong. On this site you will find authors and regular readers from all walks of life . . right, left, middle, Republican, Democrat, Moderate, Religious, Atheist.. all kinds and all types. We like to think of it as a discussion site where we share ideas, opinions, debate and try real hard to respect each others opinons on the topics at hand, as well as their personal right to voice that opinion.”
Robert – name calling does add spice but why do they need to be so dismissive?
February 14, 2006 - 11:09 AM on February 14th, 2006
Mission Statement? This isn’t a company, it’s a blog. It is an “ABOUT” page.
You can stay or go, it doesn’t relly matter. We didn’t go looking for you, you came to us.
