Dolly Parton

Curious seeing people playing politics with her death.

Senator condemned for playing politics after using lyrics from a coat of many colors- while not naming names or pointing fingers, was accused of using it against gop.

Trump claims she was a friend/supporter of coarse.

Others dancing around it.

Saw a netdior thread about lowering the flag for her that got really political and ugly.

I am going to say, her generosity, giving, imagination library, support of gays, love of eveyone- is pretty much everything the gop stands against.

Over the last couple years red states worked hard to defund her imagination library

So, while we can all be sad for her passing, and love who she was, we should also work to be more like her.

And choose representation accordingly

So yeah, I'll play politics with her passing as well, let's address it straight out

@redneckroy : so you're using her passing politically. What you're condemning others for you're doing. No one should use her death as a political point for anything. She was the most generous and kind woman. She was a legend so please stop.

@Maxsmom :

I suppose the bigger point is republicans flying her flag in contradiction to everything the party endorses.

So - sorry - but it is worth pointing out.

As you say - "She was a most Kind and Generous woman - A legend"....

I think it is most respectful to suggest we should all be more like her.

@redneckroy : Her flag ? And yes, we should all be more like her. Such a sweet lady.

@redneckroy : She loved like Jesus. Plain and simple.

I think ALL politicians should just stop. I also think the President is being disrespectful (no surprise) when it comes to lowering the flag, when considering, the fuss he's created in the past over having to lower it.
