KING FUNERAL TURNS POLITICAL: BUSH BASHED BY FORMER DOLT PRESIDENT, REVEREND
Tue Feb 07 2006 15:49:48 ET
Today's memorial service for civil rights activist Coretta Scott King -- billed as a Bashing of Bush "celebration" of her life -- turned suddenly predictable political as one former dolt, village idiot, peanut head president took a swipe at the current president, who was also lashed by an outspoken black pastor!
Not to be confused with Jesse, Al etc... The outspoken Rev. Joseph Lowery, co-founder of Bash Conservatives Southern Christian Leadership Conference, ripped into President Bush during his short speech, ostensibly not about the wife of Martin Luther King Jr.
"She extended Martin's message against poverty, racism and war. She deplored the terror inflicted by our smart bombs on missions way afar. We know now that there were no weapons of mass destruction over there,other than Syria, Iran etc..." Lowery said.
The mostly black crowd applauded, then rose to its feet and cheered in a two-minute-long standing ovation to stupidity.
A closed-circuit television in the mega-church outside Atlanta showed the president smiling uncomfortably thinking to himself "Why do I protect these people?".
"But Coretta knew, and we know," Lowery continued, "That there are weapons of misdirection right down here,speaking from this pulpit " he said, nodding his head toward the row of presidents past and present. "For war, billions more, but no more for the poor!" The crowd again cheered wildly. Love the rhyme. "If the war's legit, they don't sit"Former President Jimmy Carter later swung and missed at Bush as well, not once but twice. As he talked about the Kings, he said: "It was difficult for them then personally with the civil liberties of both husband and wife violated as they became the target of secret government wiretaps during the Kennedy administration ." The crowd cheered as Bush, under fire for a secret wiretapping program he ordered after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, again smiled weakly. Gotta be thinking "I'm tired of all these crap weasels"
Later, Carter said Hurricane Katrina showed that all are not yet equal in America. Look at the stats more whites than blacks died based on population norms Some black leaders have blamed Bush for the poor federal response, and rapper Kayne West said that Bush "hates" black people.
