    To everyone speaking ill of Carter's words. Go read history, please. Coretta Scott King was brave and would appreciate Jimmy Carter speaking truth to power today in the same vein as MLK did. "Silence is betrayal." When honoring Coretta and Martin's legacy, the notion that politics(which involves the poor today) should be kept quiet about is simply ignorant of their long struggle and what she had to put up with in her whole lifetime and this was spoken of elegantly and with truth by Jimmy Carter.

    Man, I wished they showed Bush's face when Carter mentioned the wiretapping done against Martin & Coretta! Was that a subtle dig at the then-President's own wiretapping program?

    I guess some of you don't know that it was JFK who did the wire tapping?

    Did you see Maya Angelou's remarks about her chosen sister? Did you see Bill Clinton's remarks about "there's a woman" lying in that box that they were honoring? Did you see him wondering what the King children were thinking, asking if maybe they were thinking as he thought when he lost a parent? Wondering if they were thinking about when their parents used to read them bedtime stories, etc.? As far as what you will or won't tolerate, it seems your tolerance is based on a portion of the picture.

    For starters, Jimmy Carter pointed out some of the obstacles overcome, and due to the nature of the lives they lived, the service they were committed to, and the time they lived in, part of those obstacles were due to the government's response to their work. I hardly think he was suggesting that George W. or today's GOP was wiretapping the King Family in the 1960's. Also, he was drawing comparisons between their lives and dream and circumstances today. And did you see more besides this 1:19?

    You don't seem to be taking into account the life that Coretta lived - a life of service to others and activism. Nothing in her life seems to indicate that she would have wanted her homegoing to be utterly self-centered. It seems she would have wanted even that moment to be of service to others, standing for what she believed was right. It seems quite fitting for the woman and her legacy to be honored as such. This was a fine celebration of an outstanding woman and what she stood for.
