1. How does the right dare to speak ill of this man

So you don't like his agenda. So what, we see things differently. But this man stood above all of us in his dignity, character and love for all people. All of us could only hope to be half the man he was. To speak ill of Teddy is to show ignorance, evil and blind mindless babbling. Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter and the rest of you idiots, ya I'm talking to you.

7. A heartfelt tribute and beautiful eulogy- brought tears to my eyes.

Obama captured the spirit of the man, his unprecedented legacy as a legislator, his disarming personality, his triumph over overwhelming personal tragedy. The final touch of leaving his family and friends with the image of him doing what he loved- sailing, smiling at the helm, facing any storm that came his way- was beautiful poetry, very personal and a brilliant metaphor for his life.

I'm amazed at the demonic cartoon image that the right wing and fox media zealots are painting of this great man. They are really showing how out of touch, misinformed, cynical, and inhumane they are. They should all watch this eulogy, review his accomplishments, and take a hard look in the mirror.
