Though it was billed as a memorial service, many irate viewers and Republican leaders said the gathering for U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone and five others degenerated at times into a blatant political rally.
"What a complete, total, absolute sham," said Vin Weber, a former U.S. representative from Minnesota. "The DFL clearly intends to exploit Wellstone's memory totally, completely and shamelessly for political gain. To them, Wellstone's death, apparently, was just another campaign event."

Oh Lord, PLEASE let this be true! It has seemed for 10 years that the rats could never go too far for the sheeple, no matter what evil they got up to. I am SO hoping you are right. All that needs to happen is for the independents to be the pissed-off ones and not just the Republicans. The swing voters are the key in the vast, vast majority of elections. I hope this made them SICK.
It is strange, I agree. We can also say the sons are so hopped upon mood altering drugs to dull the pain, they're lead around like dogs on a leash.
I don't know the sons, although I'd assume they followed their parents politically, but their coolness over their deaths is hard to explain.
That's why I think they're still in shock. They don't know what they're doing right now. I have to give them the benifit of the doubt. Like I said, I've never met them.
I can't tell you how much these people make me so sick. I saw one shot of Tommy Thompson and actually felt sorry for him that he had to stand right in the mist of all this crap while trying to maintain some sense of respect and dignity. Pity these poor fools...ah forget about it! ... there's no way I could ever pity any fool who supports these demonic pieces of rat. [gosh, I'm angry...and disgusted...deeply sickened...and why I do this to myself, only the good Lord knows.]
And we know what they may have done. The last Zogby poll had Welstone losing.
I suspect that the offspring were flying high on some calming-type medication, like valium or similar...to me it's the only way to explain how they could have been part-n-parcel to the circus that took place.
What's that old saying,
Even a blind squirrel can find his nuts?
Oh, that's right, can find a nut. But in this case...
Wellstone doesn't equal Kennedy. After Nov. 6, that will be the last anyone ever hears of a Wellstone.
Learn what ? How to be an asshole ?
Politics is (are?) war. The RATs realize this and more often than not, capitilize on it. The GOP doesn't have to come off as a bunch of insensitive a$$holes, partisan, opportunistic, etc. But until they come to grips with the fact that the RATs will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING necessary to win an election, they are at a distinct disadvantage.
For example, "On the" Fritz Mundane has had 3 or 4 days of "free" campaigning without even officially becoming a candidate. With the race as close as it is/was, that may be all of the edge the democRATs need.
That Tommy T and Trent L went was good. That when their faces were showed on the jumbo-tron and they were massively BOOED by the audience was CRUEL. VILE. And I am SO GLAD to know that Trent had the dignity to leave. Imagine going to a MEMORIAL SERVICE, to honor and respect a fellow colleague, and being BOOED while there......HORRENDOUS! HORRENDOUS!!!!!!!!!
This was a pathetic gathering was formed by legions from hell. I doubt most knew what was to occur there, in fact, I suspect most thought it was going to be a loving, respectful memorial service where they could all share their memories and respect. Alas-the joke was on them. And they were swept up into a McAuliffe-klintonian mission to gain advantage from a good man's death.
The queen and king of immoral, disgusting vice reigned supreme, the newly annointed would be next senator beamed from ear to ear, the speakers distorted and drove the crowds to near hysterics with their political banter, the money bag man for the klinton's flying monkeys grinned with vile sneers, jess jackson, glistened in the spot light, hovering like a demon with power on his mind, and the crowd leaped and shouted and swooned as a demonic legion shaking the gates of hell....because all of this was being done on the tragic event of one man's death.
One might almost think these sick people were GLAD that Paul was killed in that horrific crash.
Was his wife mentioned, the pilots, the staffers?
Were others mocked and jeered at, or only Trent Lott and Tommy Thompson?
This disgraceful event was the culmination of the klintonian drive to usurp and take over the late great dem party. Their ilk reveled in the sick display, the orgasmic quality of their cheering and rock star like basking seemed to come straight from hell, imho.
the klintons want to destroy our culture and our rule of law-it seems fitting that their appearances are taking on the quality of a staged, choreographed venue of mass cultish-like hysteria. They must have felt supreme to finally be in a place where people were not booing them....ie a major league baseball game in NY or a FReeping out on the streets.
These people are not sad Wellstone passed away. Not by a long shot.
In fact- I did not see mourning or grief or love or respect at this event....I saw meaness, I saw GLOATING and LOTS OF IT!
I need to know....when Wellstone was living, and the race was being fought for the vote, was the vote considered close at the time?
There was something going on in that arena....my guess is....everyone with a hint of decency felt the shadow of hell.
