Don't those people know how to behave?

You could see this one coming, but I have to admit that the brazenness of the racist undertones is stunning.

Imagine, at a funeral for a women who spent her life battling racism, violence, and war, speakers had the temerity -- no, the uppitiness -- to speak out about racism, violence, and war.

And, as ReddHead writes, "Behold the mighty Wurlitzer:"

Jeff Greenfield on CNN this morning explained clearly how it worked. He pointed out that Drudge had the whining up on his website before the service was even finished. Hannity and Limbaugh then picked it up. Kate OBeirne then whined on MSNBC with Tweety. That's how the story was developed.
Mehlman and Rove are laughing all the way to the polls: "angry, disrespectful Democrats trash dignified funeral!"
If there's a Heaven, Paul Wellstone is there shaking his head.
