Let's not go nuts. The Wellstone memorial at least had at its core a tribute to a rare unapologetic liberal. The problem with the Wellstone memorial wasn't obscenity, it was the inappropriate fist-pumping campaigning and the bizarre public request to the Republicans to concede Wellstone's seat to Walter Mondale out of compassion for his family and his constituency.
OTOH, Kerry's thing was a Bush bashfest from beginning to end. Nobody expected reverence, but nobody expected Kerry to act like the Hollywood values on display equaled the American values he claims to champion.
The Wellstone "memorial" wasn't obscene so far as them shouting filthy words but as far as "memorials" go it was an obscene, bizarre, nutty, angry affair.
I think Beav is drawing a distinction between "profane," which the Kerry fundraiser was, and "obscene," which both events were.
RATS booed a republican right off the stage when he tried to give a eulogy at Wellstone's memorial. What seems to have happened is an escalation of vulgar behavior and flat out lies on the part of RATS. Clinton opened the floodgates. Lies are okay as long as RATS are doing the lying. With the active connivance of the media, they're more than getting away with it. They're dictating the terms of any and all discussions, from soup to nuts. Unfortunately dumbbells vote, and they hear some idiot celebrity say Bush is bad, and they'll vote for Kerry because he's busily filming Kennedyesque moments for campaign commercials. Did you know, by the way, that he copied the first JFK's signature endlessly so he'd get it down pat? If Kerry has no core beliefs, why should anyone in his/her right mind respect him? Kerry as President is unthinkable.
