>>>Who paid for the shirts?

According to: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2656495/posts it’s not going to be paid with tuition, fees, or tax $$... but appears the U is paying for them somehow. Exactly how not disclosed.

If they were fair trade hemp teeshirts I buy the comment. Check the label. College free enterprise is quite predictable.

“Our intention was to have something to remember after the event”

THE EVENT WAS NOT ABOUT YOU. Yet you made it about you, the President and every living liberal and not about the victims.

So who paid for them. That is the big question.

Memorials, funerals and even religion itself, leftists debase everything. They cannot do otherwise because for them nothing is sacred but their dehumanizing leftist dogmas and ambitions.

Liberals are boycotting AZ.

The shirts must have been made elsewhere.

Together we divide and boycott would be a more accurate DNC slogan.

Ok, I’ll pretend I’m a reporter. What would my next question to Jennifer be?

Jennifer, who paid the $60,000 to purchase these shirts?

Jennifer, you said these shirts would help people remember the ceremony. Isn’t it also true that this particular style of ‘momento’ shows up very well on television?

I wish I wuz smart enuf to bes a journalist.

They had stickers and bumper stickers printed as well. I saw folks walking around with them. They looked like typical college aged political ops. The student body president who spoke seemed to me to be a Democrat, but I could be wrong. I am making an assumption based on her friendliness with the intern who helped save Gabby’s life. I’m betting they worked on the local Obama campaign together in 2008. Campaigning is what they know how to do. They don’t know memorials or funerals or dignified events. Just parties.

...leftists debase everything...

Ain't that the truth!

I speculated on another thread that these shirts were sitting in a closet at an ACORN office, because creating so many thousands of T-shirts in three days over a weekend seemed to be a pretty tall task. I think the shirts were gonna be the next voter drive uniforms.

What university has $60,000 laying around for this type of thing?

If they wanted something that would be remembered in honor of the victims how about a scholarship fund in memory of the little girl that was killed? T-shirts? Give me a break.

Those shirts had nothing to do with the victims and everything to do with Obama and the dems. If it was about the victims their names would have been printed on it.

Even the local city busses were flashing the Together We Thrive slogan on their destination signs all day.
