Politicize a Dead Woman

I didn't realize that making petty stabs at the current administration was important to her life. That, too, is good to know.

not yet, or Hitler.

Jeff Greenfield on CNN this morning explained clearly how it worked. He pointed out that Drudge had the whining up on his website before the service was even finished. Hannity and Limbaugh then picked it up. Kate OBeirne then whined on MSNBC with Tweety. That's how the story was developed.
Mehlman and Rove are laughing all the way to the polls: "angry, disrespectful Democrats trash dignified funeral!"

revel,

Well, you just made one heck of a point. Call me a pot or kettle. Man, what a wake up call! Thanx!

What?! You mean they talked about Reagan at his own funeral? The bastards.

I see you've decided to roll your eyes.

Now, first, let's get our history right here. As I understand the matter, the wiretapping of King was ordered and initiated by Hoover. Does someone have data that the orders for this came from Bobbie or JFK?

In any case, the FISA laws were put in place to correct previous egregious assaults on Americans' civil liberties particularly, as I understand it, during the Nixon White House period but also in light of what had gone on previously with the civil rights movement.

All of which, rather obviously, puts Bush in a rather tenuous legal and moral position, particularly at the funeral for King's widow.

I see. Any discussion providing a distinctly different point of view from that of the left is the equivalent of "whinning".

Noted.

It's funny to watch these right-wingers get their panties in a bunch about being called out in public. With the truth, no less. All they can do is flap their hands about 'impoliteness' and 'wrong place,' despite the fact that they were only echoing statements CSKing have made in the past.

It's funnier to watch it progress - from a comment I saw on FireDogLake:

And that's how you go on the attack, every time, when you are attacked. It's exactly how these people operate.
