Bill Clinton skipped Harry Blackmun's and Thurgood Marshall's and they were both liberals (Blackmun was Nixon's Souter, turned out to be more liberal than he thought).

Why after dodging the press and giving non answers did they eventually come up with the "security" horseshit?

righties need to find comedy acts to be the straight-men for. Just like with Benghazi, before anyone really knew what happened, and the dead Americans bodies were barely cold, Romney jumped in with both feet, politicizing their deaths. Now, the same thing with Scalia. Barely is his body cold and Mitch McConnell jumps in with both feet, and politicizes his death. So, we may never know, but perhaps the the President, or Scalia's family, or both did not wish do anything, relating to his funeral, which is a family affair, that continued the politicization of his death. As others have said, there would be criticisms from the right, and perhaps even from the left, if he had had attended. And, I can easily imagine that neither the family, nor Obama wanted that to occur. The family is going through enough suffering. There's no reason for them to suffer through that. And, I could easily imagine, if that were the case, Obama would have used the security issue, to help the family save face; sparing them any criticism for wishing the President not attend.

Can you imagine how much shit the low life Obamas will steal from the White House when they leave?  They'll beat the Clinton record.  Let's hear it for affirmative action!

Bad source. Don't think Mr. Bill was at Blackmun's funeral, though.

You do get if he was honest about why he didn't attend the funeral that would have been at least ten times as divisive as what you're accusing him of?

when libs go there, they have lost the argument and know it.

the FIRST President in history to miss a Supreme Court Justice funeral

and changing the subject to regular politics doesn't address the lack of class of the POS in the White House and the lib dirtbags that defend that lack of class.  it just shows who they really are

did anything but change the subject, lie, or make really lame excuses

...have any facts to back up your bullshit claim that Obama was "the FIRST President in history to miss a Supreme Court Justice funeral."  You provided no link at all to back up your FALSE statement.  But that has never stopped ignorant, uninformed, uneducated righties in the past and it never will.  Facts just get in the way of their lies.

...at the first opportunity to jump down someone's throat for mistakenly saying Blackmun & Marshall, could you?  

That was my first question when this tripe was first introduced. It was a remark made partially 'tongue in cheek," but also seriously. The viewing is public, hence 'the public viewing', while the funeral is personal, and the families wishes, regarding who attends trumps everything else.

No, the Press Secretary did not say Mr. Obama was not attending because of “security” reasons but implied that the President was concerned that his security detail would be too much of a distraction. We already have the VP security detail there and who knows what other dignitaries with security attended. So rather than block access to the free parking and cause a massive traffic jam on Michigan Avenue, the president opted to pay his respects Friday night when the Justice was lying in repose.

...that Obama was "...the FIRST President in history to miss a Supreme Court Justice funeral."

...equal time for this righty?

catchy, huh?

Vox hahahahahahahaha

is be a typical lib - call names and insult

..."dcporboy" admitted his faux pas after you pointed it out.  But when brooks5, one of your righty buddies, lied about Obama being the first president not to attend a Supreme Court justice's funeral, you let that go by without deeming it necessary to correct him.  Why is that, when you appear to be such a stickler for the truth?

Totally no substance behind it, like trash talkin another persons team. Nothing whatsoever to back it up, so of course there's no link!

Take the other six days off too, so he would not be fucking things up so much.

He is like laffy, bigguy and you all rolled up in one package.

I wasn't on the board last night to point out the stupidity of any of the posts, but there was PLENTY to go around, and it wasn't limited to just the right wing trolls like brooks and Rommel. Check out some of the incredibly stupid things said by your fellow lefties bigguy and laffy.  

Getting down on your hands and knees begging, pleading for someone to post.

but you read them . . . .

You argue like a pissy woman trying to sound like a guy.  Funny.  BigPapasan is my favorite of your monikers.

I’ll concede my inarticulate combination of the use of “totally” and the plural “facts” does leave room for grammatical correction. In reality only one of his two facts was totally WRONG.
