The professional victims among the 9/11 families have co-opted the victimization of all the families, and have set themselves up as the only "legitimate" (or media-recognized) spokespersons of those who lost people on 9/11. Despite their howls of protest over the first Bush ad, it is they who have politicized the loss of their family members. We all feel for their loss, but we are getting sick of their act.

They're literally the most well-compensated victims in the history of the world, but it's still not enough. It just makes me sick.

Dare I say it, that some of us anonymous Americans probably grieve more for the loss of the victims of 9/11 than these reputed "family members"? These despicable people have cheapened the loss of their own loved ones. They have earned our distain.

It's a way of clinging to the biggest thing that ever happened to them.
