I have no problems with critisims of the rants by our (s)elected democratic rulers. All I'm saying is that a son deserves to mourn his father as he pleases.

Poor taste does not excuse poor taste.

Sorry, but when a dead politician's colleagues (of any party) turn his memorial service into a openly partisan get-out-the-vote rally, I consider that to be ghoulish. When his sons do not object to such ghoulishness, and not only support it, but participate in it, they are just as much ghouls as the others involved in it.
