Nothing is “sacred” or off-limits anymore. In my mind, funerals should be dignified and respectful services to honor the life of the deceased and help family and friends say goodbye, not political events. But the King family turned it into one, and bloggers became participants in the sideshow by adding to the partisanship. In my opinion, bloggers were just as disrespectful as the family and the politicians.
Addendum: Please don’t misunderstand this post. The focus is on bloggers on both sides of the aisle, not leftists, politicians, or the family.
Update (3:53 p.m.):I just watched four clips from Coretta Scott King’s funeral. Some speakers were respectful, as I suspected they would be. Others were not. In light of the clips and the stories I read this morning, my opinion on the matter stands.
