What About Dr. King's Message Don't They Get?

Can someone explain to me what about the message of Dr. King that former President Carter and several other Bush haters have missed?

Carter and others stretched any definition of common decency. Coretta Scott King was not removed from the funeral before the attacks on the sitting President began.

Carter is one person who should never criticize a sitting President. He was the worst President in US history while in office. They invented a "misery index" to reflect how bad the country was doing. Nothing Bush I or Bush II have done or could ever do would reach to the ineptitude of this former President. You couple his poor performance in office with his insistence of late in providing credibility to some of the world's greatest dictators and he has proven he lives in a glass house and should not be casting stones.

Equally bad in my opinion were the comments by right Reverend Joseph Lowery took his shots at in appropriate times. In my opinion, this "speaking out" as Mrs. Bill Clinton calls it, is causing more of a rift than a vehicle of support. Look at Carter's comments about what the Dems are calling "domestic spying" and then look at the latest poll numbers. The more shrill the Dems are becoming, the higher the polls in favor of the wiretapping of Al Quaida contacts in the US become.

Regardless, there is something known as tact and a sense of chivalry that the Left have lost with all their recent elections. Where is the America of Dr. King's dream? Certainly not in the party being led by Howard Dean and Mrs. Clinton.
