I've been to a lot of memorials and funerals in my life, so many that every time I attend one, I swear it will be the last until my own. I've never been to one that was marketed like a sporting event, with slogans, t-shirts, special logos, and had a pep rally atmosphere.
Last night's event in Arizona was the Wellstone Memorial on steroids, complete with nifty slogans and T-shirts.
People actually thought the funeral for Senator Paul Wellstone was the lowest the democrat party could ever sink in their continuing efforts to exploit tragedy and suffering, but that was before America was introduced to Barack Obama's democrat party.
For those not familiar, Fred Barnes started off his piece about Wellstone in the Weekly Standard by saying:
A memorial service for Paul Wellstone becomes a DNC pep rally as the Democratic party reaches a new low.

Of course, I don't know why this is either surprising or remarkable. Before the first responders even arrived on the scene to tend to the wounded, prominent democrats, and their left wing media partners, chose the event to conduct a blood libel against Sarah Palin, accusing her of mass murder, and viciously attack the entire Conservative movement.
This was before any victim had received medical attention, or anyone even knew who the real mass murderer, Jared Lee Loughner, was.
The left has used the tragedy from the second it happened as some sort of opportunity to bash political opponents as stir up hatred among their followers. Besides inciting the zombies who hang on their every word, the left hoped to use this tragedy to silence their critics through legislation, and take away many First and Second Amendment rights.
It's despicable, but as we have been reminded since the tragic events on Saturday, this is who these people are, and it's who they have always been.

Pat Dollard broke the story:
Step right up, ladies and gentleman, the tragedy campaign tour starts right here…Indians, poetry readings, visual aid gimmick made out of public letters, he’s managed to turn a memorial service into a three-ring circus…a logo and slogan for a memorial service? Really?
And "Together We Thrive"?
Just another coded political slogan for his upcoming political "tragedy agenda", having nothing to do with mourning or a tribute to the victims, and worse, clearly, he’s debuting his replacement slogan for "Yes We Can".
Jonathan Alter recently advised Obama to treat this shooting like any other crisis that can be capitalized on for political gain. "Never let a good crisis go to waste", reminded Alter. Well, I guess Obama took his advice.
This is just the warm-up. Here's an update:
This post originally went up in the early evening of January 11. In it, in the headline above, and the commentary below, I revealed that this alleged memorial service was a total sham, a political rally disguised as memorial service.
I debuted what was to be the slogan and logo, as you can see. What’s worse, and what I will be writing about in a forthcoming post, is that Obama’s speech was a declaration of war on America, Conservatives in particular, promising a broad push on gun rights, free speech and even an expansion of government health care.
The rest was obligatory, phony "mourning". Because the Conservative intelligentsia don’t how to de-code Obama’s speeches (it’s very basic, really), and because they continuously make the fatal mistake of thinking that he’s ever sincere when saying anything conciliatory, they continuously are sucker-punched by this guy, and find themselves on the defense, and catching up.
Pat has the complete details of this shameful display here.
Sorry Fred, you only though the democrats hit rock bottom with Wellstone. As the past week has shown, they were no where near it. They are gettin' there though.
