Branding the Tucson massacre: “Together We Thrive” in white and blue; Updated: Liveblogging the bizarre pep rally; Gov. Brewer booed; in sum: right speech, too late, boneheaded venue (WOOT!)

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 12, 2011 06:21 PM

President Obama used to preach that there was no “Red America” and no “Blue America,” just one America.

But tonight at the memorial for the Tucson massacre victims, it will be a sea of blue as the White House unveils the “Together We Thrive” logo and slogan.

Yes, the Tucson massacre is being branded:

--break--

Isn’t the churning of the instant messaging machine a bit, well, unseemly?

Can’t the Democrat political stage managers give it a break just once?

Update: As noted above, the University of Arizona announced the Together We Thrive event — and a few readers write in to say that the campus initiated the logo/campaign. Given U of A president Robert Shelton’s embarrassing, thinly-veiled partisan cheerleading for Obama tonight, it may indeed be a 100 percent-campus-initiated campaign. Given the Obama White House’s meticulous attention to stage prop details, however, I would say the odds of involvement by Axelrod/Plouffe & Co. are high.

Thanks! I do not know how to get phots posted.

At Michell Malkins site ... There is a photo that shows the T-Shirts... Someone is holding a T-Shirt & on the backs of every Chair there is a T-Shirt with Obama’s New Slogan.

Can you imagine if Pres. Bush had T-Shirts passed out as he addressed the people at the Tragidy of the Twin Towers in NY...... He would have been impeached!

This should have been a Solem Memorial... Not an Obama Pep Ralley!!

Do you have any evidence these were Obama t-shirts? “Together We Thrive” doesn’t appear to be an Obama campaign slogan, and some people are saying the university initiated it.

If Brewer was booed at the memorial, it must surely have been that most of the audience was paid to attend and bussed in, Obummer’s lackeys for hire.

A spokeswoman for the University says it was their idea, they contracted and paid for the shirts.

Not the WH.

Don’t kid yourself. Of course the White House knew full well, and probably had say so over the entire rally.

Yep -- so much for the "civility" thing that Zero was preaching from his pulpit.
