Unbelievable! Souvenir 'Together We Thrive' Logo T-Shirts Placed on Chairs at "Memorial"
Wednesday, January 12, 2011 | Kristinn

Is it a memorial or an Obama rally? Souvenir t-shirts emblazoned with the logo for the 'Together We Thrive' gathering at the University of Arizona were placed on chairs at the arena ahead of the memorial.

It's odd for a memorial to a mass murder to have a logo, but it's crass to hand out souvenir t-shirts.

Restricted Arizona Republic photo at link.

Thanks. Here's another photo from the Arizona Republic. This one shows logo t-shirts being placed on the coveted floor seats of the arena.

Hello,

I watched the Wellstone Funeral/Pep Rally live. It took my breath away that a death could/would be used in such a cheap and pathetic way. T-Shirts? This is looking to be the Wellstone Funeral/Pep Rally on steroids. If so the backlash will be huge.

Just when you think they can’t be any more crass and disgusting....they go and outdo themselves again.

“Together We Thrive.” Sounds a little like “United We Stand.”

Where does that leave “Diversity is our Strength.”

You should see them lined up... at least all the footage I’m watching (on all three local channels) -— they fit the classic stereotype of the O-Zombie. Sloppily dressed and not lacking for food... some camped out since this morning (and maybe even overnight, I thought I heard that once).

marked Paul Wellstone Memorial Tribute.

And every attendee who cries will be issued a Chia Obama, so that their tears may cause this unifying figure to thrive...

I hope this footage doesn’t air nationally.

I hope it does -- and not to bring dishonor to your town. So the nation can see how narrow Hussein's base really is.

It’s not a *hate speech rant*. I feel exactly the same way. Campaigning begins in one hour....I can’t deal with it.

Never let a good memorial go to waste!

You know, if Democrats and the media would have kept their mouth shut about vitriol, rhetoric, etc., Obama might have got a really good bounce out of this.

He still might, people are warped that way...

"I’m sorry about the shootings, certainly a tragedy but I have to ask, did this require a presidential event?"

The murder of 13 by a radical Muslim terrorist at Fort Hood wasn't made this big of a deal..........

Save that pic on your hard drive.
And as many as you can.
Once this backfires, they’ll likeley attempt to rewrite history...again.

This goes for all FReepers.
