For the record, at least one prominent black leader praised Bush for attending: “President Bush was where he should have been,” said Bruce S. Gordon, the new president of the NAACP. “Coretta Scott King is a very important figure in black American history and American history. I thought it was appropriate for the president to be there to honor her.” [...] [...] Bruce Gordon NAACP President As we’ve been discussing in other threads, there is some disagreement over whether the activities at King’s funeral yesterday were disrespectful, inappropriate, meanspirited, or any and all of the above.

I may not have been clear on who my anger was vented toward. It was toward those who would hijack a funereal for personal gain, such as that Phelps guy who sets up protests at the funerals of soldiers. It was towards Jimmy Carter and anyone else who acted in the same fashion - and those who, rather than admit that act in itself was wrong, skipped that aspect of it and went on to defend what Carter said. Now I'll head back to the other thread and see if I ruffled the wrong feathers. I want to apologize for my outburst yesterday on the previous thread.

I have a memory that he actually liked the State of the Union, too. Gordon is a pretty good guy–he’s reasonable and doesn’t share Julian Bond’s penchant for offensive hyperbole.
