So we can't talk about politics at a funeral |
|
But it's okay for Brian Williams of NBC to spout his political opinions every chance he got during last nights Olympic ceremonies.
He was absolutely disgusting. I finally turned the TV off in disgust. It is so embarrassing to be an American some days.

1. Somebody should have told them that during that week of |
|
naked adulation when they planted Reagan. Remember, they wouldn't let Clinton open his mouth.
Now THAT is a politicized funeral.

3. Only if it's Reagan's funeral... |
|
and it's the feel-good stories about him and Tip O'Neill. If it's their "politics" of praise for all their fake cowboys, then it's perfectly alright.

4. Can't talk POLITICS at a POLITICAL ACTIVIST's funeral to celebrate her |
|
Edited on Sat Feb-11-06 07:57 AM by LynnTheDem
POLITICAL life.
Even though her FAMILY wanted exactly that and gave a STANDING OVATION.
You can only talk about whatever rightwingnuts say you can talk about at a funeral.

7. CNN Headline News Keeps Running Comments from the Old Bush ... |
|
... beotching about how his son was insulted at the funeral. Well, boo-fuckin'-hoo! First of all, who gives a flying fuck about what you think, you stupid bastard; and second, millions of us are insulted at your son's half-ass attempts at running this once-fine country. Go the hell away, NOW!

Don't invite me anywhere, because I can't be kept from "being rude" and TELLING THE TRUTH!
I was born with a big mouth, so I can really relate to your rant. I can clear out a dinner table at any holiday party.

my funeral -- just to make sure it doesn't offend the GOP . I want to save DU the trouble of having to defend me.

14. what did Brian Williams say? |
|
When I saw him on the Daily Show he didn't seem very political one way or another, and if it was any way it was our way.

15. I watched them for a week carry Reagan's casket all over |
|
America and I listened to his policies, to his politics, what a wonderful president he was.
I mean I heard enough for a freaking week.
The Kings lived by their beliefs and would want their beliefs mentioned at their funeral, I mean they are being given a tribute to their life's work...
