New word I saw on Wikipedia: "wellstoning"
Edited on Thu Feb-09-06 10:22 AM by LoZoccolo
Wellstoning is the accusation by conservatives of politicizing a funeral or memorial service of a liberal political figure in order to deflect criticism of the conservative agenda by speakers at the service, or offset any political value the service might have to liberals.

2. To this liberal Wellstoning means knocking off a liberal with
real integrity and leadership potential so as to maintain the corporate (fascist) grip on power!

3. I thought it meant killing a political opponent in a plane crash
Or would that be "Carnahaning"?

4. Remember documentary "Outfoxed" and how Fox managed Reagan's funeral?
I'd research a link to something about it, but my computer is slowing down and needs to re-boot. Working on closing my open browser-tabs.
