Republicans Exploited Wellstone's Funeral

[chieftain]

where there was very little provocation . We just witnessed 4 days of lies , smears and boorish behavior but for some reason we either can't or won't use their convention to our benefit . I don't suggest we lie the way they do , but where are the Democratic talking heads expressing outrage that is justified from the various insults that emanated from the speakers ?
Why isn't someone making a big deal about the slur on the honor of the Purple Heart ?
Why isn't someone going to bat for the countless numbers of workers who have lost their jobs but are derided by millionaires as " girly men "
Why can the Republicans boo the thought of offering prayers for Bill Clinton and not wear the well earned honor of haters ?
Folks , we are going to get a whole heck of a lot tougher and quicker to combat these people .

1. You are right on the money! We keep trying to play nice even when

they are kicking us in the teeth. We damn well start to play the "an eye for an eye" game with these reThuglicans. Better yet it should be "a head for an eye" response.

2. Yes, they exploited it shamelessly, including Jesse Ventura.

3. Yes

They exploited by saying we were exploiting it.

4. Democratic spokespeople should be expressing similar outrage

That's an example of what's wrong with us. We should be as "Shocked and offended" by the GOP convention as they were by the Wellstone funeral (which was not worthy of any outrage).
