Crassness at Political Funerals – New Leftist Legacy?

I made a short-sweet statement the other day about the ill behaviour of the Democratic politicians at Coretta Scott King’s funeral. It irritated me a lot, but what about today’s hard-left Dems doesn’t? This AM, the Anchoress takes a longer look at the implications of the Left’s position that because King was a political figure, then it was not only ok, but a virtue for the pols to come out swinging against Bush and his administration, and makes a challenge to proponents of this kind of outrage.
I mean, chances are highly unlikely it would happen – conservatives tend not to do that sort of stuff – but if it ever did happen – then what? If, let’s just say, someday we’re watching the fumeral of a former Democrat president, fer instance – and a conservative gets up and moves away from tribute and into politically charged speech…makes sneering remarks about 17% mortgage rates, or Iranian hostages, or bombing aspirin factories, or talking for years and years about WMD’s, or ignoring Rwanda, or lying under oath, or accessing FBI files, or whatever – that will be okay, right?
You won’t have a problem with it, because the funeral of a “political” person is now simply one more “political event,” right? And sometimes crassness is called for? Can even be touted as a virtue?
Well. If those are the new rules, don’t forget who made ‘em up.
Sorry Anchoress, but you know the drill all too well. Along with a lack of class, the Left suffers from premeditated memory loss. Besides, if it ever happens to them — it’ll all be George Bush’s fault! (db)
