During CNN’s coronavirus town hall on Thursday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) reacted to President Trump’s planned rally in Oklahoma by stating that he wouldn’t allow a large political rally in the state of New York. Host Anderson Cooper asked, “We’re seeing this now, this rally this weekend in Oklahoma, the president’s going to, theoretically, pack 19,000 people into an indoor arena. Doesn’t seem like there’s any social distancing. No one’s required to wear a mask, though they’ll probably hand them out. Would you allow a large political rally in New York, in these circumstances, in this time?”

Former Vice President Joe Biden delivered remarks at the funeral for George Floyd on Tuesday, calling on his family to turn his death into “purpose.” “Unlike most, you must grieve in public and it’s a burden. A burden that is now your purpose to change the world for the better, in the name of George Floyd,” the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said via a video message. “Looking through your eyes, we should also be asking ourselves why the answer is so often too cruel and painful,” he added. “Why, in this nation, do too many black Americans wake up knowing...

Sharpton wants them to rise up and overthrow the government.

From: Leni Riefenstahl To: Barack Obama und Frau Obama Subject: Politische Kundgebung getarnt als eine Gedenkfeier (Political rally masquerading as a memorial service) It's been two years since I last wrote. Then it was about the Invesco Field Rally in Denver. Now it's about that rally in Tucson. If you don't mind a few harsh words from someone seasoned in such things, no matter that you tried hard, the tragic incident in Tucson was no Reichstag Fire, and while you made as much of it as you could, you need to hone your shtick a bit better in future. I...

Just as they did following the memorial service for Sen. Paul Wellstone in 2002, Republican operatives and their acolytes in the media are now claiming that there was something inappropriate about the manner of how those who best knew Coretta Scott King mourned her passing. So great is the determination to protect George Bush from even the mildest expressions of dissent that commentators rushed to television studios Tuesday even before the service for King was over to denounce former President Jimmy Carter, the Rev. Joseph Lowery and Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin for expressing sentiments not usually heard by this president....

Michael Moore has never been afraid to offend. He didn't disappoint Saturday night in an appearance at Fountain Street Church in Grand Rapids, as more than 2,000 people jammed inside to hear him take on President Bush, Rush Limbaugh, war with Iraq -- and just about everything else on the political right. Several hundred more were turned away when the church ran out of space in its sanctuary and overflow rooms. They came to hear the brash, outspoken author and award-winning documentary filmmaker, who is also famous for denouncing Bush in March before a national television audience at the Oscars....

Rally may have soured voters Wellstone memorial turned into political event, analysts say 11/27/2002 Associated Press ST. PAUL, Minn. - In hindsight, the first mistake might have been holding a memorial service in a big basketball arena. Then there was the bank of Jumbotron screens, live on C-SPAN. The Oct. 29 service for Sen. Paul Wellstone after he was killed in a plane crash turned into a political pep rally that turned off many voters. Analysts say it not only led to the defeat of Mr. Wellstone's stand-in, Walter Mondale, but also might have contributed to the Democrats' setbacks...

Use of Military Unjustified in Wellstone "Memorial"By Scott WheelerOct. 30, 2002 Insight Magazine  http://www.insightmag.com/news/311012.htmlA memorial service that was turned into a political rally for the late Sen. Paul Wellstone, killed with his wife and daughter in the crash of his campaign plane Friday, has raised questions about whether taxpayers should be reimbursed for the cost of flying a large delegation of mostly Democratic congressmen, senators and their spouses and staffs from Washington to Minnesota aboard U.S. Air Force jets. The NBC affiliate KARE-TV in Minneapolis reported this morning: "The event, begun as a poignant farewell to the late Sen. Paul...

Shut them down FREEPERS for this piece of garbage.

A political rally turned deadly in northern India Saturday after thousands of panicked people stampeded, crushing 14 protesters and injuring at least 19 others.
