If you haven’t heard about this by now — put down your drink — because I am physically and emotionally sick by this.

From Drudge:

Today’s memorial service for civil rights activist Coretta Scott King — billed as a “celebration” of her life — turned suddenly political as one former president took a swipe at the current president, who was also lashed by an outspoken black pastor!

The outspoken Rev. Joseph Lowery, co-founder of Southern Christian Leadership Conference, ripped into President Bush during his short speech, ostensibly about the wife of Martin Luther King Jr.

“She extended Martin’s message against poverty, racism and war. She deplored the terror inflicted by our smart bombs on missions way afar. We know now that there were no weapons of mass destruction over there,” Lowery said.

The mostly black crowd applauded, then rose to its feet and cheered in a two-minute-long standing ovation.

A closed-circuit television in the mega-church outside Atlanta showed the president smiling uncomfortably.

“But Coretta knew, and we know,” Lowery continued, “That there are weapons of misdirection right down here,” he said, nodding his head toward the row of presidents past and present. “For war, billions more, but no more for the poor!” The crowd again cheered wildly.

Former President Jimmy Carter later swung at Bush as well, not once but twice. As he talked about the Kings, he said: “It was difficult for them then personally with the civil liberties of both husband and wife violated as they became the target of secret government wiretaps.” The crowd cheered as Bush, under fire for a secret wiretapping program he ordered after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, again smiled weakly.

Later, Carter said Hurricane Katrina showed that all are not yet equal in America. Some black leaders have blamed Bush for the poor federal response, and rapper Kayne West said that Bush “hates” black people.

If you people out there support this kind of childish actions at the funeral of a great lady — to use like they did with Senator Wellstone’s funeral, the time for honor to slam and abuse, I don’t want to be called a fellow American with you. You people are sick and twisted and I’m ashamed to be counted among you as a citizen of this country.

You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Do you really believe what you did today was right? You are adults — start acting like one. You sick people that get your jollies out of slamming the President of the United States while he and his lovely wife watch should be horsewhipped. Who taught you your manners?

You people that follow these asswipes from today make me sick.

The only thing I can do is ask God to forgive me for thinking about the things I’d love to do to you people and to ask him to further forgive your actions and hate. Maybe through his love you can one day be classified as human.
