Democrats and their distasteful politicization of funerals (obama’s John Lewis eulogy)

Obama just used a funeral eulogy to push for ending legislative filibuster and a bunch of other pet causes.
This isn’t the first time dems have done this. Just going back to the 2000s, you had the embarrassing Paul Wellstone funeral. McCain’s funeral was a partisan joke as well
If trump used a eulogy to rail against immigration or some other issue, media would explode
Yet media has a boner at obama’s Provocative John Lewis eulogy. Comparing trump to George Wallace, calling for an end to more than 150 years of congressional precedent.
Just a double standard
Reagan died in the middle of the 2004 election and not a single republican who attended used it as a weapon against John Kerry
donald trump was blasted for bringing up a political issue at a boy scout rally for goodness sake.

For progressives, their ideology is religion. That's why it's fitting they invoke it at funerals.

How are you still surprised?

it used to be the norm that funerals weren't venues for political rallies and partisan volleys.

Honestly I’m sure a lifelong politician and activist would expect nothing less at their funerals, especially if it’s a topic they believed in. I think it’s in poor taste, myself. I have no idea if this is just a dem thing or if it’s a politician thing. I don’t really get rustled up about what an ex-politician does.

Damn. If only that guy could have 8 years as President.

One of the eulogists even complained about Ronald Reagan.

The double standard in politics never ceases to amaze me. The left literally can do no wrong

I HATE Democrats

President Obama gave a magnificent speech.

Why do people keep saying this anytime someone points out the left hypocrisy? No one is surprised anymore by the left's bs.

Re: the Wellstone funeral. For those who didn't watch it live, the highlight (or lowlight) was Tom Harkin, congressman from Kansas. He started crying as he implored everyone to go out and vote Dem in the coming election. His climax line:
'DO IT FOR PAUL!'
'DO IT FOR PAUL!'

Democrats are completely devoid of class and grace.
It’s not in their makeup.
They are vile, disgusting people.

Staying inside all day here in Atlanta with all these race baiting fricks working up the mob today.

Progressiveness is a religion unto itself for them.

I remember at the Wellstone Funeral some gross Democrat frick was literally screaming on stage “WE’RE GONNA WIN WE’RE GONNA WIN WE’RE GONNA WIN“ as the mob in attendance began to jump and holler and clap.
A few Republicans in attendance had to be escorted out of the funeral because the Democrats began to attack them.
It was such gross behavior.
