A little Clarity Please

This week's King funeral caused a great deal of furor. I'm still angry about the behavior of some lowlifes.

So, I just want to be sure we all know what to do when it happens, and it will, someday a Kennedy or Carter will change worlds. When that happens if a person is allowed to speak at their funeral will the reverse be OK? I just want to be sure we know the rules. From the Anchoress:

So…if, let’s say, tomorrow Jimmy Carter dies (or Ted Kennedy, or any liberal) and there is the funeral…if some conservatives get up and use the occasion to criticize liberal dignitaries in attendance, that will be okay? Because, after all, Carter, or Kennedy, or whoever “were political people?” Is this really what you want, folks?

I mean, chances are highly unlikely it would happen - conservatives tend not to do that sort of stuff - but if it ever did happen - then what? If, let’s just say, someday we’re watching the fumeral of a former Democrat president, fer instance - and a conservative gets up and moves away from tribute and into politically charged speech…makes sneering remarks about 17% mortgage rates, or Iranian hostages, or bombing aspirin factories, or talking for years and years about WMD’s, or ignoring Rwanda, or lying under oath, or accessing FBI files, or whatever - that will be okay, right?

You won’t have a problem with it, because the funeral of a “political” person is now simply one more “political event,” right? And sometimes crassness is called for? Can even be touted as a virtue?

Well. If those are the new rules, don’t forget who made ‘em up.

I don't want to be part of those rules. What's good for the Goose is good for the Gander seems to apply here.

But, conservatives are too classy to act like those morons did at the funeral this week. The real name for the classless left is trailer trash, that's who they really are. No, that's too good. It insults both trailers and trash.

PS:
Jerry Springer's show was higher class then the left showed themselves to be at this funeral. Maybe that should be the new name for the left wing nuthouse. The Jerry Springer Party. Then the Democrats can regain their former good reputation and good name. It was a proud place at one time. It's been soiled.

We all KNOW that is the way SHE would've wanted it.
If it made us squirm, so be it.
All of us are not uptight and white.
Ms. King was an activist.
Bush shouldn't have gone.
I was amazed he did.
He was damned if he did...and yada yada yada
