Taxpayers to Pay for Wellstone Rally !!

World Net Daily ^ | 10/30/02

Who rented the arena? That's a big place. If it was donated, doesn't that violate some campaign finance law?

Did Terry McAuliffe rent it?

Geraldine Ferraro and John Corzine have assured us that the DNC had NOTHING to do with this - it was the 'boys'. Did the 'boys' ante up the money for the arena?

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Oh yea, does everyone know Trent Lott was BOOED at "The Memorial Service"...???

[Teacher317]

I want my money back

[Concerned]

I just sent the following email to the 4 FCC people listed above:

Dear Chairman Powell and Commissioners Abernathy, Copps, and Martin:

I am OUTRAGED!

And I am DEMANDING that the Republican Party IMMEDIATELY be granted EQUAL TIME or the stations/networks be DENIED their license renewals.

Television stations/networks broadcast a LIVE, THREE-and a HALF HOUR POLITICAL PEP RALLY in the FRAUDULENT name of a "Memorial" service for the late MN Senator Paul Wellstone!

Republicans were BOOED, as was INDEPENDENT MN Gov. Jesse Ventura!---At a "MEMORIAL" service?

And the purely POLITICAL chants to vote (and work) to elect former Vice President Walter Mondale to replace Wellstone and to abandon the Republican causes were OUTRAGEOUS at a TRUE "MEMORIAL."

I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

(Me)

That was really ugly and I apologize. :(

No it wasn't "ugly", a dead socialist is a beautiful thing for America. If they all died we could have a free country again.

Trust your instincts.

Thank you for helping Coleman's campaign. Living here in NJ is becoming a trial almost beyond endurance.

Can you tell me the inside skinny on this Haitians suddenly appearing alongside the causeway. There are stories about this being a set up against Jeb.

Well since this was SUPPOSE to be a Memorial Service for a deceased Senator, at least that is what the local stations were told .. I am going to guess that the arena might have been donated for that reason alone ..

However, I am sure that there was high security that was needed along with all the other services that were given .. plus I am sure extra police were called in to handle the traffic

I also heard that many many folks were bused in to attend this service, which would explain all the rally signs

As for Geraldine Ferraro and John Corzine .. BULLSHEET ..

And for them to turn running with their tail between their legs just shows how low and petty the Democrats are. As usual they can not take responsiblity of their OWN actions

Tell me .. how was it the son's fault that Bill and Hillary were dancing in the aisle ..

How was it their fault that Tom Harkin threw off his jacket and onto the floor ..

Are the trying to tell me that the sons now speak for Senator Harkin??

Are they telling me that the son's made everyone boo Trent Lent so bad to force him to leave???

GIVE ME A BREAK

Okay, e-mail addy for the Star Tribune IS: Opinion@startribune.com. Tell them what you think. The WORST one to get into is pioneerplanet.com. They, in typical Democrat fashion, make it as difficult as possible to tell them anything. Disgusting picture on their homepage of a very somber hill and bill. THROW UP. I asked them why didn't they use a more honest picture of them dancing, laughing, singing and celebrating. BARF. WCCO.com is bspope@wcco.cbs.com. HAVE A GOOD TIME FOLKS, it's only our money.

Yes,it is accurate! traffic was way backed up in St. Paul where the rally was! I didn't make it to the rally in time, but this whole circus spectacle has got the base here very energized and fired up!

Tell the blacks in Mn that they got their REPARATIONS last night!

[Billthedrill]

Seems to me this article fails to say who DID request the planes.

Let me tell you how the real world works. Some Congressional aide called some poor unit PAO and told her "kick the tire, light the fire, the Senator's on the way. Your CO will confirm later." And he'd better. The only really non-partisan thing about D.C. is that They Are To Be Obeyed.

[rwfromkansas]

wow.....any Freepers at the rally......I would like to hear their reports....:)

Good Post. This whole thing is sick! I’ve been to funerals, memorials, wakes, viewings, and burials, and never saw anything like the Wellstone bash. But mostly as I watched and listened to the replays of the rally, I was struck by the similarity of Nazi-Germany youths shouting slogans and demanding change (for reasons they knew not), and the crowd last night shouting for war(s) on something / anything (for reasons they knew not). Liberals are bad enough, but outrageously RADICAL liberals can be a national security concern.

[Catspaw]

The solution: divvy up the cost & let each Senator & other various poobahs pay for the plane.

But *someone* must've authorized this. It shouldn't be that hard to find out who did it.

Send the bill to Terrence F. MacAulife with love from the United States Tax Payers.

[Letitring]

Hummmm, this is interesting. I have a little e-mail conversation going with the star trib opinion person. :) Write them, you'll hear back, real quick. I got to tell them a little more about how I FEEL. :)

I just emailed your post to Bill O'Rielly. I pasted in all the 'news' adresses listed below, but my email would not send them!?
