Much ado about nothing.. unless a Republican did it.
I too saw the Wellstone memorial and it was nothing short of repulsive. Funerals/memorials are solemn events to remember the people who have passed, nothing more. Using it for political gain by turning it into a pep rally or putting words in their cold dead mouths is disgusting and should infuriate anyone of any political affiliation that has any sense of morality. The responses here clearly show another case of people looking the other way when someone of their political leaning does something this obscene.
I watched the Reagan funeral and heard much talk of America being a "shining city on a hill" which is something Reagan said on several occasions. Never did I see anyone claiming that X policy was right or that Reagan would have approved of Y or Z. A figure that is being memorialized should be powerful enough without having to stuff words in the mouth of a corpse to justify or rebuke current events.
