After watching this debacle tonight, I am convinced Democrats are spawns of Satan.

And it took this to convince you. The're not called the "evil" party for nothing.

[Bernard]

Apparently he was. Enough of his close friends and followers at the service said so, so it must be true.

I find it sad, but that's what they wanted to do. After all, a person's memory is based on what people remember about him, not what he actually did. And this is how people will remember Paul Wellstone (RIP).

Just Lot leaving Sodom.

This event was the single most defining moment summarizing the value of Paul Wellstone. In the very end, his life wasn't a testament to God's love, his family nor his children (who didn't seem to be mourning), it was about one moment in a political campaign after which he will become a footnote in the 2002 elections.

The rats sized him up and in the end they decided he was worth a good political rally. I guess they'll truly mourn later.

How sad and pathetic.

"In a circumstance in which the situation were reversed, close to an election, a Republicn Senator tragically lost his life. A funeral attended by strong Republican supporters would likely also react unkindly to the appearance of prominent Democrats... "

So you think the Republicans would have behaved just like these low-class shmucks if the situation was reversed? Why am I not suprised to find that you registered on Freerepublic yesterday?

How does the saying go? ... ' When you lie down with dogs, expect to get up with fleas.

exxxxxxxcactly.... what a great way to sum up the loss of your father..... have Blow Job Bill and Hillary come with fake smiles and "love" all around.... Wellstone's sons must have hated daddy...

[GRRRRR]

So is it OK for the GOP to start campaigning against Mondull now>? Can we remind everyone what a tax and spendus that Mondull was? How about that he was Jimmi's Veep and helped preside over the WORST admin of the last 50 years??? Gas Lines...Hostages...etc>>>>???

GRRRRRollin'

[demlosers]

I doubt it.

[William McKinley]

The answer to your question is a bit difficult to explain. The answer is both.

Wellstone was a sincere guy, but his was a sincerity of leftism. What you saw tonight was, to the core, the face of leftism in the populist spasms it endows before cascading into violence.

He sincerely believed what he believed. But the sick thing is, they believe what they were saying last night. Paul Wellstone would have loved what he saw last night.

"If Paul Wellstone's legacy comes to an end, then our spirits will be crushed and we will drown in a river of tears," a clearly emotional Kahn said.

I hope this a-hole chokes on his own vomit. What a sham!

NJ and MO are close races and now the dems have to take Mondale out of mothballs to hold on to Minnesota!

They are collectively putting on their “Depends”. They fear for the worst!

[TheExploited]

This rally is an example of the Clintonization of the Democratic Party. The individual (Wellstone) is meaningless. The Party is king. Win at all costs. Do anything to keep power. The only real power is held in the hands of select few with the rest of the people just mindless automotons following their orders. I think they may have shown a little too much of their true Communist tendancies here.

That would explain why they want to exile God from public life. They're rather like Lucifer in Marlowe's "Doctor Faustus" - "Think of the devil and nothing else!"

"Partisan" is too kind a description. This sounds ghoulish.

[Chunga]

That's complete unadulterated crap.

When Senator Paul Coverdell (R-GA) died, hundreds of Democrats attended his memorial service and not one of them was booed or treated with the least amount of disrespect or hostility.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

[Budge]

I saw a little (very little) of the "service" on Fox when Wellstone's son took the microphone and started talking about "getting on the stage at the victory ralley next week."

One of the few times I turned Fox off to watch something else.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

In a circumstance in which the situation were reversed, close to an election, a Republicn Senator tragically lost his life. A funeral attended by strong Republican supporters would likely also react unkindly to the appearance of prominent Democrats of the Clinton and Kennedy persuasion.

Most of us Republicans know how to behave ourselves in public and would know how to act at a memorial service, unlike Democrats.

[Fresh Wind]

How about that he was Jimmi's Veep and helped preside over the WORST admin of the last 50 years???

How can you say that? Thanks to BJ Bill, Jimmy Crapper's administration has faded back to second worst.
