Boy, that's right between the eyes! Excellent. Excusing the "speakers" would be one thing, but what about the behavior of the 20,000 "mourners"?

To say it was disgusting would be too kind.

Reading this article, it dawned on me what has been nagging at me since I watched that bizarre performance -- Adolph Hitler riling up the masses. It was like watching a movie and I don't excuse any of the speakers including his sons.

His sons showed not one bit of emotion until the youngest son starting his chant and when he sat down couldn't have been prouder of himself. No one talks about their parents passing away when they were killed in a horrific plane crash.

Something is wrong with the whole bunch and personally believe that the speeches were scripted as it ended right before the nightly news on purpose -- well timed and orchestrated and not spontaneous -- they knew what they were doing including the sons IMHO! I could be wrong but this had the fingerprints of the Clinton DemocRAT Party all over it.

It was totalitarian. I'm waiting for the Paul Wellstone Lied to come out of this.

In the world that Wellstone wanted where the government runs everything, he would still be waiting for a coffin. His sons would be spending hours each day filling out forms, requests, and personal inventories. They would be trotting down to the local assessors office to hand over 95% of their fathers assetts to the tax collector. The government would be putting up "For Sale" signs on the Wellstone house so they could sell it and give the proceeds to a federal project for teaching art to the homeless.

Very nicely written. Christopher Caldwell understands exactly where this stuff is coming from, and it isn't pretty.

Yes, Paul Wellstone's sons were as guilty as any of the rest of them. If they repent afterwards, well and good. But it was a horrible spectacle of inhumanity run rampant. A Maoist re-education camp indeed.
