Even before the first words were spoken at this evening's memorial service for the victims of Saturday's massacre in Tucson, the atmosphere turned overtly political.
White House operatives passed out t-shirts to the crowd with Obama's new campaign logo, 'Together We Thrive.' The words were also taped to the seats in which mourners would sit during the service.
WireUpdate reported the following:
During Wednesday night’s memorial service of the fallen and wounded in the Arizona shooting tragedy attendees received a free t-shirt with a “Together We Thrive” logo emblazon on the front. Many conservatives were outraged that the President and university organizers politicized the event.
Conservative writer Michelle Malkin wrote, “President Obama used to preach that there was no “Red America” and no “Blue America,” just one America. But tonight at the memorial for the Tucson massacre victims, it will be a sea of blue as the White House unveils the “Together We Thrive” logo and slogan. Yes, the Tucson massacre is being branded.”

Anybody hear of any feedback from the family members ?
This is where the logo originated. Organizing for America.

To paraphrase Ann Richards....Obama “jist can’t he’p it”...even with the Wellstone Memorial, they had to do the t-shirts...the whoops and hollers...the imagery.
Low class, ticky-tacky.
No finesse whatsoever. None.
” No Clergy “ at the political pep rally.
Anyone surprised?
Who needs Clergy when the messiah was there and he induced a miracle, she opened her eye “ for the very first time “ .
Wonder how long that link will work.
I wonder just who they think is going to pay for every deadbeat in America to have the American Dream for nothing. Do they think that far?
OMG, right out of Communist Manifesto! I had no idea . . . I don’t even think most democrats have any idea of the depths of the treachery of this treasonous catastrophe.
do I really have to say it???
And as far as a "culture of violence"?
