last night the democratic party held a republican fund raiser, during the 4 hour wellstone "memorial" the Min repubs had $150,000 in contributions.

gee I could swear I saw a bunch of democrats all weekend blaming the republicans for politicizing his death.

Guess I was right when I thought they all looked like a bunch of hypocrite snakes. ~~To Ventura and Lott....~~

What else would you expect from the party of Clinton? Shameless, ambitious, tacky.

If the Clintons hadn't showed up, you'd be calling them selfish, irresponsible, and disloyal to their own party member and his family during their time of mourning. Big surprise you found something to whine about anyway.

It's the entire Democratic party I'm criticizing, not just the Clintons. And your definition of 'whine' is weak. That rally disguised as a memorial was downright ghoulish. Power hungry scum, the whole lot.

disgusting but not surprising - kudos to ventura for bailing early.

I wonder what Wellstone and his wife would have felt. Maybe you ought to ask his family how much a disservice to the dead the event was. But they're probably just dumb Democrats anyway.

No one has any right to critise this expect the dead guy, his family, and his friends.

His sons were there.

A disgrace........

Quote

the service, which featured speeches from Wellstone family members and friends who urged the crowd to remember Wellstone when they cast their votes next week

Imagine that... his family and friends urging everyone to continue Wellstone's fight.

I'm not at all surprised that a memorial for a politician turned into a political rally.

I'm not a big Wellstone follower, but from what I've read about him, I doubt that he would have disapproved. Not that it matters. Funerals/memorials/wakes are for the living, not for the dead.

Of course... maybe the view from that high horse is a bit different than mine.

And look at you all making political hay over someones death. What hypocracy.
