"We are not as ugly as our political differences would indicate". Said by someone talking about the Kobe/Gianni memorial service. WHAT?

Both Republicans and Democrats will attend so that makes everything KUMBAYAH? Oh c'mon. Grieving the loss of the same someone does nothing to mitigate hate among the mourners. Hate survives anything and everything including grief. There is no pause for reflection or redemption to be found anywhere. Pretending otherwise is ridiculous!
