"Funeral or Hatefest?"

Michael Reagan writing in FrontPageMag this morning revisits the funeral for Coretta Scott King.

In a tear-streaked story in the New York Times bemoaning the inability of the Democrats to exploit what they see as the GOP’s many weaknesses and use them to win back control of Congress in this year’s congressional elections, Sen. Chris Dodd, D-CT, sobbed that the health of his far-Left Democratic Party is "A lot worse than it should be. This has not been a very good two months."

"We seem to be losing our voice when it comes to the basic things people worry about," Dodd said.

Senator Dodd, along with the outraged leftists who now dominate his party, is dead wrong; it’s not their voice they are losing, it’s their minds.

The hate goes on. They cannot hold themselves back, even at a funeral for someone like Coretta Scott King. It’s interesting that her late husband Dr. Martin Luther King talked about content of character, yet some of those who spoke at the funeral displayed no character at all.

The more I listen to Democrats the more they sound as if they are being driven totally by anger and hatred. I tend to vote Republican because I am a conservative. However, I have voted for Democrats in the past and will again if one is able to articulate ideas and policies that I agree with. Right now, however, the Democrats aren't even voicing ideas or policy that I don't agree with -- because it is hard to agree or disagree with something that doesn't exist.

All I am left to listen to and watch is the hatred. It is ugly, and it is leaving a mark.
