What I was referring to earlier was Rev. Joseph Lowery of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, who said (as transcibed by a professional): “She extended Martin’s message against poverty, racism, and war. She deplored the terror of our smart bombs and missiles way afar. We now know there were no weapons of mass destruction over there… [24 second or so standing ovation] but Coretta knew, and we know that there are weapons of misdirection right down here. (More applause and “whooping.”) Millions without health insurance, poverty abounds. For war, millions more. But no more for the poor.”
