While looking for Blogger coverage of Rosa Parks death I found the following quote on Conservative Blog, Pardon My English.

"While today is a day to celebrate her life and her contributions to the Civil Rights movement, I fear that certain "de facto" leaders of the black community will use Rosa Parks' memory in vain, and launch unfounded race-baiting attacks that have regretfully become all too familiar. Certainly, such "leaders" like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan couldn't hold a candle to Rosa Parks and should never be held in the same grandeur as she, which makes her passing even more regrettable."

Pardon my English

"Rosa Parks has shown the awesome power of right over might in history's long journey for peace and freedom."
The Reverend Jesse Jackson

"I think Rosa Parks was truly a historic figure who singularly on December 1, 1955, tore down the walls of American segregation and apartheid."
The Reverend Al Sharpton

Hmmmm... Things that make me want to scratch my nappy head and wonder....

(Quotes of Jackson and Sharpton taken from the comments to the above post) This was one of the few Conservative Blogs that I read which had to spoil a great moment of bipartisan praise for an American hero.
