Arizona pep rally delayed - polling data hadn't come out & T-shirts needed to be printed
Rush Limbaugh .com ^ | 1/13/11 | The Maha

Posted on 01/13/2011 8:35:00 PM PST by Libloather

RUSH: Oh, come on. It was everything we knew it would be. It became everything we knew it would be, and that is attacking talk radio, attacking Sarah Palin. We knew. It was utterly predictable. I tell you, the reason why they waited as long to do this was they were waiting for polling data. The polling data shows the American people do not associate political rhetoric with anything that happened in this incident. That's what they were waiting on. If the polling data had been different the speech would have been different, but because the polling data says the American people don't associate political give and take, the political rhetoric in the media with what happened here, that pretty much dictated how the speech had to go. So they had to wait for the polling data to come in. That's why they waited -- I have no doubt -- plus, plus, my friends, they needed time to print those T-shirts to give away at the rally.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I'm not making it up. They were waiting on the T-shirt to be printed and the logo to be designed, and you'll notice that the logo has one color: Blue. Blue states. I kid... Well, you want my observations; I'm sharing with you my observations. But I know they had to wait on the T-shirts to get printed and a logo designer to finish his work. That's one reason, along with the polling data, this thing was moved last night.

The t-shirts were incredibly tacky and wholly inappropriate for such a solemn occasion. Imagine Reagan’s entourage passing out t-shirts for his Challenger speech.

This was about Obama and the Dem 2012 campaign. The victims were just a excuse to make him look good.

The event was gaudy, garish and tawdry.

That these poor souls will forever have their memorial marred by this ghetto trash is a disgrace. A National Disgrace.

Obama brought the Merry Springer Show to the White House...and then took it on the road.

They didn’t need that much time because the slogan was recycled from the election campaign...

As someone commented on Gateway Pundit, Hussein's performance was "a campaign speech given while standing on six coffins."

And then there were the security details that had to be worked out with an advance team sent in and what not. This shooting happened on Saturday morning. There was a memorial/rally four days later with a basketball game in between. The basketball game happened on Sunday though it was scheduled for Saturday. The first I noticed SS helicopter was on Tuesday.

And Obama will try to ride the coattails of Giffords recovery.

If Giffords is recovered a year from now they will probably call for Biden to be dumped with Giffords the replacement for ‘12.

Actually if she does return the Congress it will be a remarkable story of strength and she will be an inspiration to others who have had traumatic injuries. How tawdry the Dems are in exploiting this is another issue though.
