"Everything I saw at that memorial service last night disgusted me. First, there was the fact that this event, which was supposed to be a memorial service, was given a slogan. It was branded. The brand was stamped all over university buses preceding the event to advertise, as well as free t-shirts handed out to people who attended the service.
Oh, and the concession stands were open, too. Because you can’t pay your respects to those murdered by a madman without a large Coke and some popcorn, right?
Yet we’re somehow surprised at the pep rally-like atmosphere? Please. Add in some styrofoam Greek columns and you’d have Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention all over again. The disgusting, disrespectful whooping and cheering was infuriating — but not surprising. Obama played into it."Via Hamp, SWR
When I heard it on the radio, I thought how disrepectful! The other people who died and were wounded and Congresswoman Giffords fighting for her life... Not exactly appropriate platform to be campaigning IMO. But maybe that is because I was rasised Southern Baptist. :0) Oh well, this is the Pepsi generation I guess. Everything's a commercial.
ReplyDeleteHopefully this will backfire. Can you just imagine Hussein pulling over to the side of the road when a funeral passes by? Fat chance.
