[MissB]

[quispquake]

2. This is finally sending me over the edge...

I've watched this (background only), but these goddamned PARASITES trying to suck any advantage they can from this tragedy are seriously pissing me off...FUCK THEM!!!

[AnewerWay]

38. These people lost family on 9/11

I think we can be sensitive to that fact. Not just Dems lost family on 9/11.

[lolly]

64. These People?

The delegates to the convention? They lost family on 9/11? The ones who keep talking about how icky and scary and stupid New Yorkers are? Yeah, they feel for the victims of 9/11 all right.

[AnewerWay]

65. No, the ones on the stage

The Widows.

[minkyboodle]

[phish420]

12. Thats ok...it merritted that repeated response!!

[foo_bar]

its all 9/11 all the time apparently

[minkyboodle]

60. LOL

BTW I love your avator... I think I would prefer being ruled by giant tyrant ants compared to what I'm seeing tonight

[napi21]

7. Wait ! Think of the speakers for the next 3 days.

I'm reasonably sure there will be some insinuations by someone before this all comes to an end. I'm also sure it will be cloaked very well by inference.

[Ready4Change]

30. Yeah. Zell Miller.

He'll apologize for how Democrates caused 9/11 or something.

I've no idea why Democrates haven't tossed that man out of your party.

[jab105]

8. Cough.

.

[phish420]

10. In a BIG way

With all due respect to the widow and her loss, I would LOVE to hear the GOPs explaination for what the FUCK she has to do with Bush

[restorefreedom]

15. this blatant and constant exploitation of 9/11

is truly repugnant.

This shows their desperation. They truly have nothing to go on, so they have to exploit this country's greatest tragedy.

And he even managed to f*ck THAT up, too.

unless you count the choolchildren who enjoyed "my pet goat" while the towers burned.....

[hatrack]

57. Simple - my husband was courageous, and I support Bush

Therefore, Bush is courageous.

Similar to "If God is love, and love is blind, and Ray Charles is blind, therefore Ray Charles is God."

[cthrumatrix]

11. no...you are wrong....It's all about 911

the world has changed since then ya know.... ask the corporate owned media that forgot how to ask questions

[MissB]

14. I know. I was being facetious

Somehow I expected them to be a little bit more subtle about it, not just have a black screen with "September 11th" on it and have a couple of widows up there.

Jesus.

[phish420]

13. THEY'RE DOING IT AGAIN!!

:puke: :puke:

[imax2268]

16. I heard Janeane going off about it so I turned it on...

this is without a doubt the shallowest thing right now...Milking 9/11 for all it's worth...this is disgraceful...

[Placebo]

17. The Tie 9/11 Into ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING @ the RNC!

Michael Moore was/is right.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

18. The RETHUGLIHITLERNAZIFACSISTS are the second....

coming of Goebells!

:puke:

:grr:

[DemWitch]

19. Oh yes they are...

Ya know it's funny that everyone is considered a hero on flight 93, which I agree... but one of the passengers was a gay man, so I guess he would be considered hero-lite... and I wonder how many democrats dies on 9/11, and how many non-xtians, and how many anti-bushies...

They make it sound like evryone who was "heroic" or dies were card carrying x-tian repugs... they weren't... fuck... don't get me goiung again...

[michigandem2]

didn't we just do a memorial like thing

no speakers just images??? at the dnc? or just a song?? it was very subtle but meaningful....

[phish420]

44. Actually... (link to another post)

[MissB]

20. Do they have anything else other than

fear, terror, fear, terror, Sept 11th?

I am stunned. I did not expect them to be so blatant.

[Reverend_Smitty]

21. Yeah we won't politicize 9/11

I fucking hate these people...we didn't parade out all the 9/11 widows who support Kerry (trust me there are many!!) but this is just sickening...there are no words to express my anger now! :mad:

[phish420]

Actually...

I believe we did have a segment with the families of 9/11 victims, but there was a purpose...to challenge Bush's decisions and actions after 9/11. These widows are just reliving their pain for the political gain of Bush. No act of bravery on those flights were a result of Bush - in fact quite the opposite - they had to be brave BECAUSE Bush WASNT. This is shear shameful politics of the worst kind and I am just SICK!

[billkurtmeyer]

22. Someone needs to tell this poor women

that Osama Bin Laden was responsible for 9/11 and not Saddam, and by the way where is Osama (or Usama for the Faux idiots - why do they do that). Any guess as to how many times Osama name will be mentioned during the Repub lie feast - I would pick zero, zip, and zilch!!

[Reverend_Smitty]

28. Osama who??

seriously...I vaguely recall someone with that name but that was like 2 years ago...my memory doesn't go back that far...I thought it was Saddam who caused 9/11

<sarcasm off>

[Papa]

23. They are going for the emotions. That's their only way.

IT's sickening. Jesus fucking Christ, As Im typing this is non-fucking stop 911.

[restorefreedom]

24. why don't they just roll out the tape of the planes

going into the WTC

This is f*cking bullsh*T!!!


I want to totally puke

[Vladimir]

25. Sick and wrong n/t

[noamnety]

26. can't decide ...

... if I should drink or donate each time they bring it up.

[MissB]

27. Both would work. (nt)

[Papa]

29. Be sick, you can't afford that much

It's non-stop

[Reverend_Smitty]

33. Yeah this thug convention is driving me to drink...

I'm breaking out the vodka now!!!

[restorefreedom]

31. these fascist bastards

are applauding like they are at a f*cking rock concert.

I don't know whether to get drunk or cry.

I guess I could do both.....

[Sydnie]

32. Heard Dole on Larry King

say that we sometimes forget about 9/11. How can we forget when they remind us everyday. King asked him how they were going to connect 9/11 and Iraq. Dole gave some non answer about being proactive. My brain was bleeding at that point so I couldn't hear and retain anymore of the interview.

Why don't they have the women that testified in the latest hearings? The ones that fought for the 9/11 commission in the first place?

John Prine is going through my head again ... "and your flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore!"

[TheWebHead]

34. I won't put any fault in the widows

It is completely the RNC's decision to exploit this situation and only Bush/Rove/RNC & Co. should be faulted. This remembrance should be next Saturday, not at the convention.

[Zen Democrat]

35. This kind of cheap emotionalism is really sick.

[Catherine Vincent]

36. They're milking it, aren't they?

What are they doing? I'm not watching.

[spanone]

37. This is absofuckinglutelyamazing. Exploitation at it's lowest.

[drscm]

39. Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick, Sick,

[Cooley Hurd]

40. "Amazing Grace??" At a political convention???

This is a parody of a parody, isn't it? :crazy:

[MissB]

47. Actually, I'm pretty sure we used Amazing Grace at our convention

It's just that we had some wonderkid play a violin instead of some guy singing it. IIRC, that is.

[phish420]

50. Yep

Correct

[AnewerWay]

55. Yes but then there is this...

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/miami/sfl-csharpton30aug30,0,7558890,print.story?coll=sfla-news-miami

hey danced, clapped, shouted and sang, and that was before the Rev. Al Sharpton even opened his mouth.

By the time the former presidential candidate finished his sermon to more than a thousand people gathered in a Miami church Sunday, blending politics and religion into a call to action to South Florida's black community, congregation members churned with energy.

They left determined, they said, to turn out in unprecedented numbers during the upcoming elections.

They will have to, Sharpton warned, if they don't want a replay of the 2000 presidential race. He said he was "returning to the scene of the crime" in Florida, while the Republican National Convention gets under way, so people remember how President Bush "got here in the first place."

[phish420]

58. I cant BELIEVE I missed this!!

Im in orlando and found out he was here and just got done with the rally when I got home!! GRR!

[restorefreedom]

41. this is the most revolting thing I have ever seen

and if kerry was doing it, they'd be ripping on his ass.

f*cking twisted bastards.

[Behind the Aegis]

42. Yuck!

Now "Amazing Grace!" I was really going to try to watch the RNC just to see what lies I could catch, but this is foul! I wonder if anyone with a stronger stomach than mine can count the number of times 9-11 is invoked by each speaker!

If I watch anymore it will be a game..like count the number of minorities...it will be like a rousing game of "Where's Waldo?!"

[RadiDem]

43. It's been renamed the Reichstag Nationale Convention ! -nt-

nt

[Neshanic]

45. Come to the river, wash your focus groups in the blood of people

who would be horrified that their death is so cravenly used.

[phish420]

46. Guiliani is going Justify it

Watch...these people ake me sick...lifetime democrat got bought out and is going to sell out his country.

[Algorem]

48. a hispanic who sings black.2 for 1 pandering.genius.

[phish420]

52. LOL

[dignan27]

49. This all makes me feel uncomfortable and sad that they...

are using 9/11 like this. I'm not saying this in response to these women speaking right now, I'm talking about what I've seen of the tone so far. Just in one night the constant references to 9/11 and the 'steady leadership' since. All these references to 9/11 really cheapen the whole thing to me especially when we consider the course we've taken since. I don't know. I'm not trying to just lash out at the republicans, I'm sure I would've found something to dislike regardless, but it just makes me uncomfortable and sad to see it used this way. And if anyone says 'oh you don't understand 9/11' I was living in Manhattan at the time and the years that followed. I'm not sure that gave me any special insight into all this than if i were home in Oklahoma but who knows. It just makes me sad. It really does.

[Jack_Dawson]

62. I completely agree

It is sad and exploitive and shameful.

Come to think of it, why are we watching?

[cynatnite]

51. Sick Jerkwads! n/t

[deadparrot]

53. Slime. Hanging my head in shame at what's become rampant in America.

Luckily, I'll have the Cardinals to watch for the next few days. And homework to do. Anything to keep me from watching this trash.

[tridim]

54. They will NOT get away with this

This is easily the most shameful display of bullshit I've seen in my entire life. Fuck all of them. My hate grows by the minute.

[drscm]

56. And tomorrow we'll hear how great *Bush is for NOT politicizing 9/11. eom

eom

[flaminbats]

59. This is great...

the more voters are reminded that Bush did nothing to prevent 9/11, the more it helps Kerry. I think Republcans deserve all the credit for showing no leadership during 9/11, and announcing that Terrorism should never be defeated.

[AntiCoup2K4]

61. If anyone actually believed this wasn't planned all along.

Deliberately delaying the convention until September - holding it in NYC. This slimefest has been the plan all along.

If only we had a responsible media to call them on it.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

63. It's all they've got. I can't blame them.

After 9/11- the fact that Bush was the idiot who let it happen on his watch, and maybe for some reason we should feel sorry for him and rally around his pathetic run-around-the-country-and-hide ass, and cheerlead on the unilateral invasion of a run down country with no air force that maybe had some very slight connection to the whole attck IF you read the horoscope the right way backwards on the right day of the week.
After 9/11, the only thing they've got is tax cuts.
It's all pretty vacuous.
And predictable. :puke:
