I watched the eulogies delivered yesterday for Mrs. King and was shocked at the remarks made by President Carter and Reverand Lowery. What a terrible forum to present your politics and slander a man who was actually in the room. This type of grandstanding is shameless.
President Carter made reference to the Kings being wiretapped many years ago, which was something that should not have happened. Comparing that to what the NSA is currently doing however is ludicrous. Did you know that for the NSA to monitor you under the current conditions that one end of the monitored call must be destined to or originate from a known terrorist country? That's right, calls within the borders of the United States are not monitored. As for Rev. Lowery's ridiculous speech about WMD and the "fact" that they don't exist I guess he hasn't read this. Might make some people question who they call a liar.
I don't agree with everything the President does or says, and sometimes I wonder if it would be possible for him to further alienate some people from his cause. Yesterday's remarks from the left certainly demonstrated that you can further alienate people from your politics with just a few poorly chosen words at exactly the wrong time. The funniest part was President Clinton acting like his wife will be the next President, that just won't happen I've been over that before. It is always best to wait for the correct forum to wage your political wars, yesterday was not it.
