About those memorial T-Shirts

Adding to the political rally atmosphere instead of memorial mood for the victims of the Tucson tragedy by a deranged assassin, were the t-shirts handed out to participants as they entered the University of Arizona's arena.

The apparel didn't focus on the dead/injured nor were they the idea of the University of Arizona administration but instead were emblazoned with a President Barack Obama (D) campaign theme, "Together We Thrive." And so it should come as no surprise that they were distributed by...Obama's own Organzing for America, reports Judi McLeod of the Canada Free Press.

The "Together We Thrive" T-shirts that starred at Wednesday's Arizona `Memorial' originated from Organizing for America (here), a sad fact unearthed by The Drumbeat of Liberty and the Preservation of Freedom editor and Canada Free Press (CFP) columnist Robert Rohlfing.

(snip)

the mainstream media reported that the "Together We Thrive: Tucson & America" T-shirt given to mourners as they entered McKate Center was the idea of University of Arizona brass, not the Obama administration.

Yet the "Together We Thrive" slogan dates back to a post to Obama's own Organizing for America in a Feb. 11, 2008 post by self-described "globalist" John Berry IV.

More than passing strange that the Obama campaign message of civility was the same on Feb. 11, 2008 as it was in his Wednesday Memorial speech, and the same one, too carried by the mainstream media in coverage of the Memorial.

And for those in attendance

If you were a mourner who took home a "Together We Thrive" T-shirt have a look at the bottom of your shirt. "Rocking America and Rocking the Vote" is a common theme of the DNC, and it's right there on your Memorial T-shirt memento.

No mention if there was also a tag on the t-shirt reading Made In China.

I saw a picture of them sitting on the chairs somewhere

“No mention if there was also a tag on the t-shirt reading Made In China.”

LOL! Figures.

What a surprise </sarcasm >

I’ve decided that they were already made for an upcoming immigration rally in Tucson.

The logistics of it make it pretty much impossible for a tiny 3 and a half month old company like Youth Monumen to do it all in 3 days.

Considering the source of the shirts, it isn’t too far of a reach to envision the shooter wearing one, and supporting 0bama.

That slogan is creepy, Commie sounding

Obama is a stinking POS! And I would be happy to say it to his marxist anti-American face!

Instead of “Arbiet Macht Frei” it’s “Zusammen Machen Frei”

People Died, Obama Thrived.

(Were those shirts made in the USA with Union Labor, or in China? Think carefully, he's damned either way.)

Cheers!

Crapola.

Instead of “Arbeit Macht Frei” it’s “Zusammen Machen Frei”

we regret the error.

By the way, who PAID for those T-shirts?

As I said from hour #1, if those shirts were not fair trade, made from recycled fibers and hemp, they were not from the university but Obammites.

Sicko's.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly need to read the details of these Tee-shirts. Or, they can listen to Rush’s show from yesterday to get the full story. Then Beck and BOR can quit their gushing.

[FlingWingFlyer]

ROTFL!

Looks like it's always going to be "Tuscon" to the "progressive" commie libs. You just can't fix stupid.

[DGHoodini]

That’s pretty ‘no class’ and slimy to campaign at a funeral service.

[lurk]

Liberals love the corpses of the slain. They use them as decor while they dance in morbid celebration.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

The democrats politicize a memorial service? That’s never happened before!
