Is that NK dictator’s fat-ass son, Kim Jong-Dumb?
Obama, friend of Weathermen bombers, commie poets and racist preachers, the Black Panthers' choice, is leading a rally called 'together we thrive'.
How can ANYONE outside the media take these people seriously?
At least two of the dead were Catholics, one of the dead was a minister and Giffords herself is Jewish. How about asking for the blessing of the God of the Bible?
Amen. Who put this memorial together? Do we know?
agreed... they have got to be kidding.. overflow to a football stadium ?? what the hell ?
and zero with top billing, like a rock concert ? man, these people are disgusting..
this should be held at a church with immediate family.
Amazing. Months ago, Obama, Holder and Napolitano were basically calling Arizona the Land of Evil because of S.B. 1070, and now they are flying down there to speak empty words about tolerance, unity, peace and healing.
Utter hypocrisy.
I dunno... it’s one of the plug-compatible NoKo dicktaters. How do you tell ‘em apart?
For that matter, how do you tell Odumbo and Holder apart from any commie dicktater? Certainly not by the nonsense they spew.
“Together we thrive”. Would’ve made George Orwell nod with respect.
Word has already been circulating in the media that Obama may want to turn this event into a turning point for his re-election. If he treads too heavily, it could backfire and just look like the blatant exploitation that it is. We can only hope.
Good one, Moose4.
One could make a case that Wellstone would have wanted it that way, but there’s no way to imply that about the victims of this shooting.
Apparently in the New America it takes a backseat to paganism.
What, no Sheriff Dupe(sic)nik?
Together We Jive.
Will there be any french fries available for Mrs. Obama?
Wellstone Rally. Um, I mean funeral.
Wellstone Rally. Um, I mean funeral.
Maybe, like Sarah Palin's video speech, Governor Brewer can show these clown's what real AMERICAN leadership is all about.
This event is guaranteed to cure leftists of their habit of defaming and insulting conservatives at every turn. No more false accusations, no more nasty and obscene comments, no more violent and inflammatory rhetoric.
SURE it will.
ABC reporting they are lined up outside to come and see the “Anointed One.” Figures, the U of A was a liberal institution back in the Vietnam era. That and a party school.
His mug shot is so different from his earlier pics that maybe this guy did the screw loose makeover of himself to appear nuts for a trial defense. His complete makeover needs to be explained.
