: You have the right word for Obama. But that's true of all the Democrats in Congress. The Repugs are screwing up big time and the Dems are walking on eggshells, feeling they must play nice in the sandbox while the pugs are hitting them over the head with a bucket full of sand. Sickening!
I didn't see the whole funeral. But it's truly pathetic to see and hear Bill Clinton speak and then watch GWB do
the same. My, oh, my!
I realize and agree that the president has to be on the dais out of respect for the office. But it galls me that Harry Belafonte who was there at Coretta and Martin's side when the types who support Bush was trying to stop Black people from sitting at a lunch counter, from sitting in the front of a bus, and visited all kinds of hell on them, is banished from Coretta's funeral.
I thank Rev. Lowery, and Jimmy Carter, who I understand socked it to Bush by reminding the audience how the govt. spied on Martin and Coretta!

But Sonny Perdue wasn't content with gaining the governorship because he won the "Back to the Confederacy" vote, he had to use his victory party to mock Dr. Martin Luther King.
According to a November 9th article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Perdue usurped King's most noble rhetoric to herald the arrival of a newborn Georgia Confederate state, free of the "shackles" of the Democratic Party (as in "the black people's party"):
"As Perdue borrowed Martin Luther King's famous oratory -- 'Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty I'm free at last!' -- to underscore the end of Democratic Party dominance in Georgia, one of Perdue's supporters, standing in the background, waved a flag emblazoned with the Confederate battle emblem. The clash of symbols was startling.
"The moment also served as a reminder of Perdue's unfortunate decision to include in his campaign arsenal a bit of race-baiting demagoguery."
