 Speaking about the politics and what Paul Weldstone stood for  is
 not what was objectionable. It was the political attacking the 
 chanting the  ranting and raving and the booing that normal people 
 found objectionable. It was  not a time of peace and reflection on 
 his accomplishments. It turned into attack  on his political 
 opponents. No class, cheap,and  despirate.

For an *accurate* account of what went on at the
Wellstone (not Weldstone) service and how
egregiously the right-wingers distorted it, plus
some comments on Coretta Scott King's funeral,
see this piece from the Huffington Post:

Right, nice try at justifying the chanting of a son and crowd

far from exaggerated, I saw it and heard it and it wasn't just a few. It was 
loud and rude.  Who booed Clinton when he came to Ronald Reagan's funeral 
where he and wife coped a few *z's* on the front row? The only remark I heard 
about that was from some comedian that commented late that it was probably the

I explicitly said he should not have done it.

Then I pointed out that he underwent a major

Do you deny either of those points?

How can I do that?  The administration certainly
isn't going to tell me, nor has it informed the
innocent people that they've been illegally spied
upon.

However, those in a position to know say many
thousands of Americans have been surveilled, and
in almost all cases no connection to terrorism has
been found.

 Perhaps Al Qaida needs a *bill of rights*. I 
 really believe in my heart of hearts that America's most liberal 
 are really pissed that terrorism  
 hasn't hit home again big time just so they can blame it on  Bush.

If you really believe that, you're *deeply* disturbed.

In any case, the conclusive rebuttal to the right-
wingers who claim the administration should be
allowed to spy on Americans is:

President Hillary Rodham Clinton.

As I said: The *commentary* on the funeral significantly
exaggerated and distorted what actually went on.  Plus
which, the notion that people should not say anything
political at the funeral of a popular politician who
had been running for reelection when he was tragically
killed is so downright *stupid* it's almost impossible
to imagine anybody actually thinking it made any sense.

I don't believe that was the kind of service I said
was very common, actually.  But then your description
doesn't fit the Wellstone service either. What hatred
and venom towards their political foes was spewed?

From what I read and saw, the politically oriented
portion of the service (about 20 minutes out of several
hours, BTW) was pro-liberal, not anti-conservative.

 Since it's so common I'm  sure you can tell 
 us about 2 or 3 of them you personally witnessed.

Obviously services for popular politicians tragically
killed right before an election don't happen very
often.  Services for politicians and activists who
die in other contexts, however, in which speakers
talk about the deceased's goals and express the hope
that those goals will continue to be pursued are, as
I noted, very common.  In fact, it would be *unusual*
if they did not.




 Abby Hoffman  or Bobby Seal 
 maybe?

Fox News has been showing a clip a black preacher speaking at the

Obviously Kennedy shouldn't have approved the wiretaps
   in the  first  place--at least morally; it was legal for
   him to do  so--and apparently he  did so reluctantly.
   
   But how  MDixon thinks the FBI's vastly worse  behavior
   reflects badly on  *Teddy* Kennedy, who has been  outspokenly
   opposed to Bush's  ILLEGAL wiretapping of many thousands  of
   Americans, is really  hard to figure.
   
   
   
   
   Absolutely  incredible.
  
  
  Not so incredible once you know the way this woman  thinks.
  
  She supports old racist and segregationists like Al Gore Sr.  
who 
  voted against the Civil Rights Act because she'll defend 
Democrats  
  uber alles.
  
  What I found incredible was that She can defend to the hilt or 
  apologize for Robert Kennedy who was allowing the spying on of 
an 
  American civil  rights leader who did no harm to anybody but 
became 
  the closest thing to an  American saint.
 
 I explicitly said he should not have done it.
 
 Then I pointed out that he underwent a major
 transformation in his character after his
 brother's death.
 
 Do you deny either of those points?
 
  Yet, bash Bush using his authority to protect American citizens  
  from acts of terrorism like we saw on 911 and for years prior to 
  that.
 
 You are going to croak from Kool-Aid poisoning.
 
  I would  just 
  like Judy to tell me the name of one American citizen that has 
been 
  spied on illegally.
 
 How can I do that?  The administration certainly
 isn't going to tell me, nor has it informed the
 innocent people that they've been illegally spied
 upon.
 
 However, those in a position to know say many
 thousands of Americans have been surveilled, and
 in almost all cases no connection to terrorism has
 been found.
 
  Perhaps Al Qaida needs a *bill of rights*. I 
  really believe in my heart of hearts that America's most liberal 
  are really pissed that terrorism  
  hasn't hit home again big time just so they can blame it on  
Bush.
 
 If you really believe that, you're *deeply* disturbed.
 
 In any case, the conclusive rebuttal to the right-
 wingers who claim the administration should be
 allowed to spy on Americans is:
 
 President Hillary Rodham Clinton.


If her presidency will be anything like her husband's, I would 
support her 100%.

Bill Clinton's presidency was characterized by the implementation of 
conservative principals we haven't seen since Reagan.  Certainly, no 
one can say that the present Bush administration -- and Republican 
House and Senate! -- with its tax and spend $2.4 trillion deficit 
and intact Social Security program and still intact progressive 
income tax system is conservative...it isn't.

So why not try another Clinton administration along with a 
Republican House and Senate, as was the case for 6 of 8 Bill Clinton 
years?

Of course, it irks me that a woman whose only claim to fame is that 
she is a wife of a somebody and is a nobody in her own right can 
aspire to the presidency...especially when a MUCH more qualified and 
self-made woman like Condi Rice will be available...

 Relying on hearsay?

Relying on what's been reported in the newspapers
of what these people have said.  There was a major
story in the NY Times last week.  And even Gonzales
has said he couldn't guarantee the program wouldn't
spy on innocent Americans.

Have you heard the whole story? Do you  have all the 
 facts?

I don't believe there is anything more to the facts
of what I stated: thousands of Americans have been
surveilled, and in almost all cases no connection
to terrorism has been found.

   The  booing of Trent Lott was  far from 
   exaggerated, I saw it and  heard it and it wasn't just a few.
   It was loud and rude.
  
  The sound was turned up on the clips to exaggerate it.
  Those  who were actually *there* at the rally are very

  Nice try again Judy. I saw it live and it was shown on  different

due to the scandal.  But he did speak...and because of the acoustics 
of the House or Senate (not sure which is the one in which the 
president gives the address), even just one person cheering or

And this went a long way towards Clinton saving his presidency 
because the impression it gave was that many, many people were 
cheering him regardless of the actual number who were because of the 
acoustics.

 This was right at the time that the scandal broke.

Right, when his job approval rating was 59. Following
the disclosure in February it went up to 65, and then
for the rest of his term--right through impeachment--
it went up and down by a few points, hovering around
65 for most of that period, with a couple of very brief
slippages down to 58.

Just as I said.

 Indeed, that 
 Sunday on ABC's This Week Sam Donaldson predicted that Clinton 
 would resign that week.

Is that your idea of serious discussion, a
prediction from Sam Donaldson?

 Easy to say nonsense in hindsight.  There was serious discussion 
 that his presidency was over at the time.

No, there was discussion by know-it-all pundits
and hopeful right-wingers.  The public was behind
Clinton all along, did not want him impeached, by
huge majorities, did not want him removed from
office.

And as I said, there was *no* serious discussion--
i.e., by anybody who counted--that he should not
deliver the State of the Union in 1998.

To claim that speech saved his presidency is
just silly.

 IV. ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING AND THE 
 SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
 Introduction and Summary 
 
 In October 1963, Attorney General Robert Kennedy approved an FBI 
 request for permission to install wiretaps on phones in Dr. King's 
 home and in the SCLC's New York and Atlanta offices to determine 
the 
 extent, if any, of communist influence in the racial situation. 
 The FBI construed this authorization to extend to Dr. King's hotel 
 rooms and the home of a friend. No further authorization was sought 
 until mid-1965, after Attorney General Katzenbach required the FBI 
 for the first time to seek renewed authorization for all existing 
 wiretaps. The wiretaps on Dr. King's home were apparently 
terminated 
 at that time by Attorney General Katzenbach; the SCLC wiretaps were 
 terminated by Attorney General Ramsay Clark in June 1966. 
 
 In December, 1963 -- three months after Attorney General Kennedy 
 approved the wiretaps -- the FBI, without informing the Attorney 
 General, planned and implemented a secret effort to discredit Dr. 
 King and to neutralize him as the leader of the civil rights 
 movement. One of the first steps in this effort involved hiding 
 microphones in Dr. King's hotel rooms. Those microphones were 
 installed without Attorney General Kennedy's prior authorization or 
 subsequent notification, neither of which were required under 
 practices then current. The FBI continued to place microphones in 
 Dr. King's hotel rooms until November 1965. Attorney General 
 Katzenbach was apparently notified immediately after the fact of 
the 
 placement of three microphones between May and November 1965. It is 
 not clear why the FBI stopped its microphone surveillance of Dr. 
 King, although its decision may have been related to concern about 
 public exposure during the Long Committee's investigation of 
 electronic surveillance. 
 
 This chapter examines the legal basis for the wiretaps and 
 microphones, the evidence surrounding the motives for their use, 
and 
 the degree to which Justice Department and White House officials 
 were aware of the FBI's electronic surveillance of Dr. King. 
 
 A. Legal Standards Governing the FBI's Duty to Inform the Justice 
 Department of Wiretaps and Microphones During the Period of the 
 Martin Luther King Investigation 
 
 The FBI's use of wiretaps and microphones to follow Dr. King's 
 activities must be examined in light of the accepted legal 
standards 
 and practices of the time. Before March 1965, the FBI followed 
 different procedures for the authorization of wiretaps and 
 microphones. Wiretaps required the approval of the Attorney General 
 in advance. However, once the Attorney General had authorized the 
 FBI to initiate wiretap coverage of a subject, the Bureau generally 
 continued the wiretap for as long as it judged necessary. As former 
 Attorney General Katzenbach testified: 
 
 The custom was not to put a time limit on a tap, or any wiretap 
 authorization. Indeed, I think the Bureau would have felt free in 
 1965 to put a tap on a phone authorized by Attorney General Jackson 
 before World War II. 130 
 
 In national security cases, the FBI was free to carry out 
 microphone surveillances without first seeking the approval of the 
 Attorney General or informing him afterward. The Bureau apparently 
 derived authority for its microphone practice from a 1954 
memorandum 
 sent by Attorney General Brownell to Director Hoover, stating: 
 
 It is clear that in

Judy Stein, Democratic Party apologist.

Fact is that Robert Kennedy was one of the counsels for Joe McCarthy 
and HUAC...and a very agressive one, to boot.

Indeed, if you look closely at George Clooney's movie Good Night 
and Good Luck in the segments in which he uses actual footage from 
the hearings you will see RFK sitting right up there on the 
committee dias 3 or 4 seats down from McCarthy.  Of course, Clooney 
doesn't dwell on this fact or mention it as he much prefers to 
concentrate on the involvement of those with the assumed evil 
reputation of right-wingism such as Ray Cohn...and you have to look 
very closely to see RFK there...I believe it is because it is not 
politically correct to show a Kennedy on the side of McCarthy.

Another reality: when the U.S. Senate voted to censure McCarthy, 
only one Senator refused to vote for the censure.  His name?  John 
F. Kennedy, who was one of McCarthy's best friends... 






 
 But how MDixon thinks the FBI's vastly worse behavior
 reflects badly on *Teddy* Kennedy, who has been outspokenly
 opposed to Bush's ILLEGAL wiretapping of many thousands of
 Americans, is really hard to figure.

But, of course, Teddy is only a senator in the first place because

Ladies and Gentlemen: I'm only going to talk to you just for a minute 
or so this evening, because I have some very sad news for all of you -
- Could you lower those signs, please? -- I have some very sad news 
for all of you, and, I think, sad news for all of our fellow 
citizens, and people who love peace all over the world; and that is 
that Martin Luther King was shot and was killed tonight in Memphis, 
Tennessee.

Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice between 
fellow human beings. He died in the cause of that effort. In this 
difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it's 
perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction 
we want to move in. For those of you who are black -- considering the 
evidence evidently is that there were white people who were 
responsible -- you can be filled with bitterness, and with hatred, 
and a desire for revenge.

We can move in that direction as a country, in greater polarization --
 black people amongst blacks, and white amongst whites, filled with 
hatred toward one another. Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther 
King did, to understand, and to comprehend, and replace that 
violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, 
with an effort to understand, compassion and love.

For those of you who are black and are tempted to be filled with 
hatred and mistrust of the injustice of such an act, against all 
white people, I would only say that I can also feel in my own heart 
the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed, but he 
was killed by a white man.

But we have to make an effort in the United States, we have to make 
an effort to understand, to get beyond, or go beyond these rather 
difficult times.

My favorite poem, my favorite poet was Aeschylus. And he once wrote:

Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
until, in our own despair,
against our will,
comes wisdom
through the awful grace of God.

What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in 
the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is 
not violence and lawlessness, but is love and wisdom, and compassion 
toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still 
suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be 
black.

So I ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family 
of Martin Luther King -- yeah, it's true -- but  more importantly to 
say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love -- a prayer 
for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke.

We can do well in this country. We will have difficult times. We've 
had difficult times in the past. And we will have difficult times in 
the future. It is not the end of violence; it is not the end of 
lawlessness; and it's not the end of disorder.

But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black 
people in this country want to live together, want to improve the 
quality of our life, and want justice for all human beings that abide 
in our land.

Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: 
to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world. 
Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country 
and for our people.

Thank you very much.

--Robert F. Kennedy, April 4, 1968, Indianapolis

 That was in 1955, and it doesn't necessarily negate

 In any case, most people who have been paying attention
 are aware that Bobby Kennedy went through a major
 transformation after JFK was killed.



You mean like the transformation George Wallace undertook after he 
was governor for several terms and ended up garnering more than 90% 
of the African-American vote?

Will you also acknowledge Wallace as transformed, too, and that he 
turned into a good Democrat, too?

The Senator that died in the airplane crash just before the

Oh, lets not forget the transformation of the Grand Kleegle

Wellstone.

 Remember the 
 son getting up at the mic and chanting: We will win, We  will win!

Right.  As you noted, it was right before the
election. Wellstone had been running for reelection,
you see.  Wellstone was an exceptionally popular
crusading senator in Minnesota and among progressives.
We will win was an expression of hope that his
legacy would be carried on.  Such expressions are
quite common at funerals.

 And the 
 booing of republicans that attended the funeral. Such  Class!

This was *wildly* exaggerated by the right wing.
There were only a few people who booed Trent Lott.
The right wing pretended it had been the whole
audience.

I wonder how many would have booed had it been the
funeral of a wildly popular Republican senator who
had been tragically killed just before running for
reelection, and former president Clinton had walked
in.

Not so incredible once you know the way this woman thinks.

She supports old racist and segregationists like Al Gore Sr. who 
voted against the Civil Rights Act because she'll defend Democrats 
uber alles.

Yes, a lot of people actually *believed* the
extraordinary exaggerations and distortions 
spread by the right wing about the funeral.

Shemp knows Al Gore Sr. was neither a segregationist
nor a racist.  It's been explained to him in detail
and very well documented.

Yes, I'm glad you've now seen how ridiculous your
position was.  I thought it was pretty incredible
myself.
