The whole thing was so over-scripted and market-focused (Democrats reading from the Bible in public, as though ANYONE believes that?), well...

this is the only thing it brought to mind:

NO cheers, unfortunately. Pray for the families.

disgusting...... I’m so so glad I didn’t watch this manure-fest.....

Obama, Dupnik, Holder, Pelosi, Napolitano, & co. are some of the most vicious, dishonest, and malicious people in our public life. No way am I going to humor these malignant narcissists preening themselves at a mass memorial service.

oh, wait, is Obama the one who says the most vicious things ANY US President has EVER said in our history? “punish” your domestic political “enemies” (but not Islamo-fascist terrorists of course)..... bring a gun to a knife-fight because after all liberals are so peace-loving and would never “incite” anyone?? Is this the same Obozo who honors Al Sharpton, one of the most vicious riot-inciters in recent history?

Please, I could never watch these clowns pretending to “grieve” while piously calling for a decency they have never offered us before.

Many of the most vicious comments of the past many years have come from liberal Demagogues and Obama is one of the worst.

I worked at ESL when Richard Farley killed 7 of my co-workers and injured 5 others. It didn’t get as much press, and it wasn’t made as political. Our memorial service was very quiet and nice. It was a lovely event that honored our co-workers and highlighted the good in our company.

It could have easily been turned political because it was a defense firm.

I’m so thankful it was not turned into a political circus.

I feel sorry for the victims that needed a real memorial service.

"...he made no effort to quell the outburst of applause, whistling, cheers, and shout-outs - nothing to quiet the crowd into the solemnity the memorial warranted."

And why should he. He thinks he was born for this moment. The great healer and peacemaker. If ever Barack Obama were in his element, it was tonight, and thus it must be celebrated. Tonight he will sleep like never before.

Tonight, the great redeemer was born.

This will be hailed as Obama's Gettysburg Address.

One thing is certain, at least to me. His run for a second term, his campaign, started with that speech.

He is playing the civil discourse card.

Yup, the essense of his overall argument:

The country needs togetherness ("Together We Thrive").

If you criticize obama or dems, you are not showing togetherness.

Therefore, you must not criticize obama or dems.

Obama didn’t make this much to-do after the massacre at Ft. Hood when his Muslim bro slaughted 12 service men and women including a pregnant woman.

This has been swept under the rug!
Has that monster even been brought to trial?
WILL he be?

No doubt, planning began moments after the initial reports of the massacre...

While the Wellstone Memorial was disgusting in its own way, at least Paul and those who died were not the victims of a senseless act of violence.

Tonight’s ‘show’ simply baffles me. I’ll be listening to Rush tomorrow at 9:06am PST, that’s for sure. I remember listening to his commentary after the Wellstone pep rally. This massacre is nothing like the Wellstone plane crash, though.

I missed the beginning of Welstone II, so I'm just now watching the Mestizo pagan feather blessing...

I don't even know what to say.

Did you hear the part where the Dear Leader’s presence at Gifford’s bedside resulted in her opening her eyes for the first time?

Same thing happened on Saturday after the massacre by Loughner. Either FR is being overloaded, or it is getting a DOS attack from somebody who wants to slow our chain of information.

If it’s the latter, well, it’s working.

FOX said there would not be a traditional pastor or minister at this memorial.

I have nothing against a Native American medicine man leading some prayers but he should not be front and center. There is nothing Christian, Jewish or traditional here because the libs despise Christianity. So that's out the window

Unbelievable! I assume the Obama-trons organized this travesty
I saw Obama for two seconds and flushed him

I'm glad I turned it off and missed the vacuous Fox commentary

That Indian/Mexican shaman or whatever he was, was incredibly inappropriate. Note a Christian minister wasn’t asked to participate in the pep rall... er memorial service.

Then Obamabi states he doesn’t want this gamed for political purposes and has his new campaign slogan printed on shirts and handed out to ever attendee. Not only that, the phrase was printed on the back of the seats, so everyone could read it over and over during the program.

Obama stated that good citizen put their hand over their heart and say the Pledge of Allegiance. Well hell, he sure doesn’t.

If you look at the things presented in this program, and gave them individual thought, you’d see it as one of the most disgusting memorial services in the history of our nation.

Honestly, the Tucsonians revealed themselves to be some of the most shallow people I’ve ever observed. Perhaps it was just the university students, but it was terrible.

The university president said the name of the school as if he was getting ready to introduce the home basketball team. The roar was deafening.

This was the most shameful event I’ve ever witnessed.
