9. Do a search for FBI harassment of ML King.

It needed to be said. To not do so would be neglegent. You expect courage from a Nobel Peace recipent. And we got it. Roses to Jimmy. We expect no less. Stupid people. THink some false properiety needed when they do not know the issues. Only the family members should dictate what is appropriate. It is a private event. and the mourners loved it. standing ovation.

18. THEY SHOULD NOT EVEN BE ASKING THE QUESTION, and they probably

wouldn't be if it weren't for POPPY THE MALEVOLENT BUSH the first one to whine and complain about it.

then SCARBOROUGH, TWEETY MATTHEWS, WOLF BLITZER AND ALL THE REST FOLLOWED SUIT.

they are only asking the question to divide the country.

they know what the right answer is.

they know jimmy carter spoke truth to power and in doing so exhibited the kind of courage that those thugs lack.

I assume the same jackass that likes to kill foreigners & justify it based on lies.

He spoke in historical context and the guilty assumed he was talking about Bush....

[Benfea]
