HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!! Standing Ovation for Clinton!!! VERY, VERY LOUD

[in_cog_ni_to]

ovation! These people are sending a BIG MESSAGE to the Bush family!:rofl::rofl:

[MissB]

1. Has Bush spoken yet?

I'm just tuning in.

[in_cog_ni_to]

3. I don't know. I just tuned in during Kennedy. Daddy Bush just spoke

and the people couldn't wait until he sat down.:rofl:

[FreedomAngel82]

34. Oh how wonderful!

Yay! Of course the "first black president" would get the standing ovation. :D

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. Yes, he went early on

[lonestarnot]

7. Did the bitch get boooooooed?

[GreenPartyVoter]

21. Sadly no :^(

[EFerrari]

2. Sh!t! Even I'm crying and I'm a tough old bird.

I hope That Felon in the WH took his meds today. He's gonna need them.

lol

[in_cog_ni_to]

6. They are certainly sending the ass a MESSAGE he'll not soon forget!

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

9. LOL!

Yep. Pretty soon we'll have to call him the Prisoner of the WH! :)

[liveoaktx]

54. VIDEO

42

Say, 42 is the ultimate answer to life.

[elf]

61. for later

must have been brilliant!!!!!!
I will watch it later

[im10ashus]

57. Do they have meds for that?

I mean, having ones head stuck so far up ones ass isn't a medical condition, right? :-)

[Kagemusha]

4. It's a funeral...

It shouldn't take a funeral to be able to get a crack at telling the President off to his face. The perceived necessity and desirability of doing so is a little disturbing to me.

[dave29]

I think they've all just had it.

Sad that it took this long. Some of them, it hasn't... for example, Jimmy Carter.

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. Right. I wonder how many of those people in attendance have ever been

allowed within 10 feet of the idiot-in-chief?

Now, Clinton? He has ALWAYS embraced the AA community and THEY know it.

[FreedomAngel82]

36. Yep

I watched on CSPAN last year a rerun of the voting rights march from 2000 and Clinton was there and after it was over he went around and talked to people and hugged them and just took time with them. It was great!

[in_cog_ni_to]

47. He has always done that. That's why he's so loved.

He use to drive his SS NUTS because he would always mingle with the people. :) He's a true people person and it shows.:)

[Ladyhawk]

13. Yeah, but what are we going to do?

Bubble Boy doesn't have to face the music at any other time. :shrug: But yeah, I hear what you're saying.

[FreedomAngel82]

37. That's why stuff like this is so nice

Because other wise he'd get none of it. I remember at Clinton's library opening when Bush spoke hardly anybody clapped and when Clinton mentioned Kerry's name people cheered wildley. I loved it!

[EFerrari]

14. Well, a funeral is also a celebration of a life.

Not any life, but a particular life.

Mrs. King would probably be offended if that man weren't sent a clear message. She spent her life fighting the blight he represents.

[Wordie]

15. I think Coretta Scott King (in heaven) is laughing along with them...

she would be proud, I think.

And please take the "heaven" comment either literally or figuratively, depending on your POV.

[TahitiNut]

32. Remember... it's the one of the few times he couldn't fully screen guests.

Such times are rarer than hen's teeth in C-czar Disgustsus' exclusive little world.

[Kagemusha]

51. That's why I said perceived necessity...

Shouldn't have to take a funeral. But point made, moving on.

[WinkyDink]

53. This isn't just any funeral.

And it isn't ONLY a funeral.

[bluerum]

56. One of the few venues that the * cabal cannot shut free speech

out of.

They can't control the audience and they cna't control what they say.

It's called freedom of speech. Its an endangered species, but it survives in certain environments.

[spuddonna]

59. If you spent your entire life speaking truth to power...

... why should your funeral be any different? :shrug:

I would hope that those who are following in her calling would do just that...

[Nabia2004]

8. You gave us Who, but What, Why and Where?

more info please

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. Mrs. King's funeral, on CNN, Clinton now speaking.

:hi: When he got up to speak, the place ROARED with claps and a standing Ovation! When daddy Bush stood up....just the opposite reaction. :7

[Nabia2004]

23. Thank you - nt

[Wordie]

20. The funeral of Coretta Scott King. On C-Span and CNN. eom

[butterfly77]

11. Notice no speech prepared ....

talking from the heart.

[NightOwwl]

12. Look at Chimpster slouching in his chair....

while watching Clinton. Asshole frat-boy.

[mdmc]

16. must be the King funeral...

[butterfly77]

19. he's jealous time for more budget cuts for the blacks ...

and other dumb decisions for america

[malaise]

28. Thnk about it

this is the first time since 2001 that he's in a place with a crowd that his boys didn't hand pick.

[Ksec]

17. Hillary will be your next President

I have some differences with her but she is gonna be the next President of the US. Itll be a huge difference to what we have now.

[EFerrari]

25. It won't happen. If you run her, she will get creamed

and that would be a waste of a perfectly good senator.

And, don't mistake me. She won't get creamed because she's not good or big or able enough. She will get creamed because the bigots in the Thuggery have spent years whipping up bigotry in this country and because they own the media and the machines.

[Danieljay]

30. You are right...Hillary Clinton would be solidly defeated...

the propaganda has already begun and the mind washing of the sheeple is in full force. I don't believe she can win.

[Ksec]

33. I agree somewhat

What I disagree with is your assumption that smear always works . It didnt work on Bill. He was smeared beyond belief and he had a hugely successful 8 yrs.

Im a Clark guy but I have a suspicion that Hillary will win.

[EFerrari]

35. It's the combo that works.

Smear + media + vaporizing votes.

I remember what they tried to do with Big Dog. Hell, my brother lent him the sax that he played on Arsenio, lol. He set the Thugs back a decade. But since then, there's been a growing problem with hackable votes. There's too much evidence now to just dismiss this as over zealousness or tin foil hattedness.

You want to run Hilary? Clean up our elections. You know, I remember what it was like to work your @ss off in a campaign and have the winner take the spot. It felt GREAT. :)

/spellin'

[FreedomAngel82]

38. How neat with your brother

Did he wipe the spit off it? ;)

[EFerrari]

41. I think his wife collected it!

:rofl:

[A Simple Game]

60. I suspect she would too.

She has a secret weapon, the female voters. How many women would go in and pull the lever knowing a woman can do a better job than a man? Many would not admit it, but they would do it.

[ikojo]

67. I would not vote for someone based soley upon

that person's gender. No one gender has a monopoly on virtue or have we forgotten Margaret Thatcher and Condoleezza Rice? Madeleine (collateral damage) Albright?

[Toots]

62. My wife said she would love to vote for Hillary

She is very much a Liberal but not political at all. She doesn't want to hear it. Every time I start mentioning anything about politics or Bush* she just up and leaves the room. She finds it all just too depressing. She was very emphatic about her desire to vote for Hillary though so I think you may very well have a better insight on things than a lot of folks around here. We could run the local dogcatcher and still do better than what we have...

[Stephanie]

42. She's not going to get the nomination

She's a sure-fire loser, and she probably knows it.

[MODemocrat]

58. Why is she a sure-fire loser? because you want her to be?

If you say anything loud enough and long enough, it's probably going to happen. If investigating the Clintons for 12 years, spending nearly 100 Million Dollars, even going through the woman's lingerie drawers, and every other thing they could think of, and it still didn't bring the fascists what they wanted so badly; they'll have to think up a lot more crap to get her with.

[Nimrod2005]

22. Was this for Hillary or Bill Clinton?

[Wordie]

24. Bill...but Hillary is speaking now. She was standing at the podium next

to Bill all during his comments. Now she is speaking, and her talk is quite serious. Some clapping, but not like the response to Bill.

[in_cog_ni_to]

26. BILL! You should have seen it! It was sweet! The idiot is sitting right

right behind them. OMG...it was SWEET!

[Nimrod2005]

29. WOW!!! I hope someone posts a link ot the Video soon!!!

Damn..

[Bluzmann57]

27. Not to be a smart ass but...

A lot of people considered Bill Clinton to be the first "Black" President. He empowered all people and certainly came from a humble background, like a lot of African-Americans.

[Orion The Hunter]

31. Mrs. King's funeral

Great quote from live Q&A from the Washington Post (with Eugene Robinson):

<<( Question) Glenview, Ill., transplant from New Orleans: Isn't it extremely hypocritical for Bush 43 to turn up at Mrs. King's funeral? I hope it doesn't delude my black brothers and sisters into thinking that he actually cares about them.

(Answer) Eugene Robinson: I think that in light of all the questions raised about the president's concern (or lack thereof) for African Americans, he couldn't possibly have missed this funeral. I notice that he even made reference to an old Gospel song (Leaning on the Everlasting Arm). But in terms of fitting in at a black Baptist church, he's no Clinton... >>

[Ava]

40. i think Rev. Lowery’s Standing Ovation was more important than

clinton's. he said this and recieved a standing ovation.

quote:
We know now there were no weapons of mass destruction over there. But Coretta knew and we know that there are weapons of misdirection right down here. Millions without health insurance. Poverty abounds. For war billions more but no more for the poor.

Think Progress has the video:

[in_cog_ni_to]

48. That was AWESOME! He pissed daddy Bush off too!

:thumbsup: That's a GOOD thing.:)

[Wordie]

52. Welcome to DU, ava!

:hi:

[Rainscents]

39. Clinton was true AA president!!!

[chat_noir]

43. pictures

[Rainscents]

44. Beautiful picture!!! Thank you!

[lonestarnot]

45. fantastic pics!

[in_cog_ni_to]

46. GREAT pictures!

That was so unbelievable. I still have chills!

[snacker]

55. Thank you for posting those. n/t

[robbedvoter]

49. Especially stood out at the end - none for W, all for Big Dog! Poll THIS!

[madmom]

50. I'm surprised they didn't make them sign a loyalty oath to get in....

[Spazito]

63. What an absolutely wonderful, heartwarming, humorous speech!

So very appropriate in celebrating the woman he was there to honor.


Thanks, liveoaktx, for the clip. Without it I would have missed this entirely!

[Chimichurri]

64. there's a clip? would you mind directing me to it? Can't find the post :(

[Spazito]

65. Here is the link, thanks to liveoaktx of canofun

http://www.canofun.com/cof/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=16325

[Maat]

68. Wow. Thanks for the clip.

As my little sister always says (she's 41), "I miss Clinton." I do too. That man has such a way with people - he could sell ice cubes to someone living in Antartica. He just always knows what to say. I know that Coretta is on a higher plane smiling down as she watches him honor her. And I hope she is laughing at the tepid response the Boooshies got.

[bluerum]

69. Thanks for link. Great clip. Loved seeing the slouch in the background

with his "you ain't shit" body language. What a dickhead our presnident is.

[Spazito]

66. Kick for those who may have missed Clinton

Liveoaktx's video clip is a MUST WATCH, imo!

(I am also kicking because just the mere mention of Clinton will make the lurking freepers froth at the mouth, lol)
