They DID refrain from having the University of Arizona cheerleaders with their pom-poms....so obviously it was a very pious and somber event.

So you are calling the people of Tuscon "tasteless and tacky"? No one forced them to clap. No forced them to give all the speakers a warm reception. What is tasteless and tacky is the attempt to lessen Obama's image at the expense of the city of Tuscon who hosting and attended this event.

I talked to a friend in the area. I was told there was outside seating.

That crowd was respectful.

No, we are calling the students and the U of A themselves tasteless and tacky.

I am calling the entire event tasteless and tacky....
what we saw and what was held was NOT a memorial service it was a pep rally.

obama doesn't need anyone on this board to lessen his image, he does that fine on his own.

Well it didn't go un-noticed that a very liberal environment was chosen.

Do you really think any college kids attending were less effected by the traumatic shooting in their town than the adults in attendance? How arrogant to think young people can't feel every bit as moved by the stories of heroes told at the memorial, of the stories about those who had died. That's what 14,000 people of Tucson was cheering...the inspiring stories of hope and unity.
