He is too cowardly to face an audience that isn't hand-picked by his handlers and must at all costs be protected from his adoring public.

Coretta King's funeral is about the only chance these people have to address him about the problems of his administration in a forum where they can't be shuffled off to a remote "free speech" zone or arrested for wearing a T-shirt.

Is George W. Bush the guy that gets by with stuff because people feel sorry for him. Yesterday Mr. Bush went to Mrs Kings funeral and pretty much got the needle because his administration is not the friendliest to the plight of black people in our country. It's to bad that Mr. Bush and those of his kind have to feel guilt over their record on civil rights, all they really have to do is change their positions and then they don't have to be embarassed. Of course while Mr. Bush was giving his speech he could have blunted any critics by saying that as chief law enforcement officer in the country that he was going to throw the book at who ever is burning Black churches in Alabama. He would have mentioned those churches if they had been Pat Robertson's or Jerry Falwells church's.

Mr. Bush deserved every word said against him and more.

Why do we care what Rush thinks or said? I'd much rather have read a piece on what the speakers said. Having to work during the day I wasn't able to watch the funeral on TV. Last night's TV broadcasts & many of the news sites I'm visiting are doing just as The War Room did...pick apart what others said about it & how "the opposition" reacted. It's get tiresome that the news these days is purely how the other guys react or are going to react to something.

Is Limbaugh truly unhinged? Some of his comments simply don't scan, they make no sense. Is he still doing drugs? Or is he dealing badly with not doing them? He and his soul brother Chris Mathews need to be locked up.

More seriously, can you imagine the vitriol these folks would have unleashed on Eli Wiesel if he said to Bush what he'd said to Reagan? Nobody is allowed to speak truth to power or to even speak truth on their watch.

George Bush was at Coretta Scott-King's funeral for the same reason that he paid his "respects" to Rosa Parks. It was a photo-op, nothing more, nothing less. If he thought he was going to be in one of his "immune from criticism" zones because it was a funeral, then he obviously doesn't know a thing about Baptist funerals. When I'm not outraged at some of the racist posts I've seen from the Bushies who are up in arms about Rev. Lowery's remarks, I'm amused at their complete indignation. Hey, those of us who watched the State of the Union address had to listen to 60 minutes of George Bush telling one lie after another. What's so terrible about George Bush having to listen to about 60 seconds of truth from Rev. Lowery?

Rush Limbaugh stopped being relavant years ago, somewhere around the time he began to take himself seriously while popping more pills than a New York socialite. That he's a contradictory, hypocritical and deeply flawed commentator is not news. To observe this fact, one hardly has to choose to transcribe an isolated incident in his daily broadcast; one just needs to tune in anytime he's on the air and listen for about 5 minutes.

Why bother giving this clown any print space at all? Its like writing an essay on how a mosquito bit the person sitting next to you at the bus stop.

On one hand I hate to see the cockroach Rush, the drug addict and not the great Canadian rock band, get any press. On the other hand it is good to see light being shined on him and his words. Remember. cockroaches are scared of the light because they become exposed. Maybe it would be best if all Americans were exposed to this "mainstream" conservative commentator- remember what happened when they put him on Moday Night Football. Hell, I think it would be great if all Americans were sent to read the "mainstream" conservative blogs like Free Republic and Little Green Footballs as well. Lets let the people see who they are really supporting.

He might have been stoned out of his fucking mind while he was saying all that stuff.

I actually 'guffawed' at the end of that entry.

Nice one.

Rush Limbaugh? Are you kidding me? Nowhere have I yet seen an article on what the learned, respected and, apparently in this case, wholly accurate speakers had to say, but, instead, Rush Limbaugh is front-and-center in Salon?

There's a show on Air America which uses a huge amount of its airtime playing several very long recordings of the insane ramblings of one extremist right idiot after another. I can listen to Dumbya or Fred Phelps or any number of other people to whom I would NEVER listen by tuning into this "progressive" show. Why would anyone think I want to hear that?

What is with the progressive media? They practically give more exposure to the so-called thoughts of people who don't have any than the media that I avoid whose job it is to do that. A quote here and there, okay, but I get it already; they're stupid, they're evil, they're hateful, they're wrong. And this is news how?

People speaking the truth: that, sadly is news. How about more coverage of that and less free publicity for Rush Limbaugh -- of all people! -- to an audience who isn't listening to him to begin with?

What the normal people said is news. Rush Limbaugh (!) hasn't said anything new in decades. So how come the people we care about were pushed aside in his favor in this article?

a fat-assed, draft-dodging, drug-addicted, multiply-divorced cretin? I keep waiting for the district attorney in Florida to indict for doctor shopping, passing phony script and distributing scheduled substances.

More importantly, the service was a King family event, and if their invited guests want to point out to the assemblage that George Bush is 100 pounds of manure in a 50 pound sack, it's nobody else's business. If Martin had been there I'm sure he would have had some things to say to the Crawford Chimp that would have left blisters on Bush's ugly mug.
