The following is an email just sent to the communications director of the IAFF regarding their demands to pull the ad. This has gone beyond partisanship. This is an attempt to completely discredit this administration. Enough is enough.
Perhaps you are not personally responsible for the demands of the IAFF for President Bush's re-election team to pull television ads which show, in a dignified manner, a brief reference to the attack on the World Trade Center. But such frivolous statements demonstrate your willingness to become pawns in what the Democrats consider a game. Well, my friends, this is not a game, and you, most of all should realize that.
Your candidate, John Kerry, has said terrorism has been exaggerated. Perhaps he should tell that to the families of your brothers. Or the families that lost husbands, wives, brothers and sisters on 9/11. The Democrats and those who buy into their hyperbole would love to run away from the fact that Mr. Kerry believes terrorism is a law enforcement issue. Perhaps he'd like to serve papers to the rest of the gang that murdered your firefighters. John Kerry has said he'd go all over the world to apologize for what this country has done to defend itself. Maybe you'd like to go with him and make nice with the murderers and thugs who laugh as your brothers lay dying in New York.
The events of 9/11 changed the landscape of this country forever. It changed the vision and mission of President Bush. It is part of our collective psyche and should not be forgotten. If you choose not to support him, that is your prerogative. But to make demands of a President who is willing to deal with these animals rather than play nice with them is beneath a dignified profession such as yours.
Stand with John Kerry today, you, your brothers and this country will be brought to its knees if he becomes president.

So the man is attempting to parlay the unfortunate death of his son into a financial windfall.

Bill Doyle is a first class
jerk:
Two days later, Christy Ferer, Bloomberg's liaison to the victims, declared in a Times op-ed piece: "I find my e-mail box holds mostly moderate messages from a silent majority who do not belong to organized groups. Many people do not ever want to see Ground Zero, much less participate in any of the ceremonial milestones." ("I question what people she represents," Bill Doyle, a leader of Give Your Voice, retorted in the Daily News a few weeks later.)
Ferer -- who lost her husband, Port Authority director Neil Levin, on September 11 . . .

This is pure crap. Vastly more relatives of victims are doubtless proud of the fact that Bush actually did something to prevent more 9/11s, and destroyed the training infrastructure of the terrorists guilty of the atrocity, than are in any way outraged enough to become mindless shills for the political party that enabled Bin Laden to commit this heinous crime in the first place. Mr. Rove please note: these ads hit the spot! Do more and more and more and more! Watch the cowardly anti-American UN sucking left squirm!

Ed Koch nearly lost his life, and he's been a vociferous supporter of Bush's re-election, specifically for the very same reason these people are outraged about.

People that protest this ad would rather forget about 9/11. Guess what? It did happen and during Bush's presidency. Not only does he have a RIGHT to reference the event, he has an OBLIGATION to do so.!

I'm sure these families claiming to be disgusted with the Bush ads are just a bunch of da*n democrats!Bush can and should use these ads,after all this happened on his watch and he did'nt ask for it.Because of this it DOES SHOW HE HAS TRUE LEADERSHIP ABILITIES!Truth is,the democrats were afraid he would use these ads because it would trounce them.
To: The_Victor
What about the rest of the US population? WE are OUTRAGED too but NOT at the President, WE are outraged at the maniacs that ATTACKED our country and our people and we are DAMN GLAD to have a President that responded properly to those attacks instead of bombing an aspirin factory!

Something tells me this is a political ploy the Dems have been waiting to use, as soon as Bush invoked Sept 11th during this election year. I have not heard nor seen anything offensive from Bush invoking the attacks of Sept 11th in his television ads. And the fact is, he did show strong leadership after the attacks. If the families of the victims of the Sept 11th tragedy want to focus their anger on a particular President, it should be focused on none other than Bill Clinton, who's lack of leadership brought us the terrorist attacks. They should further focus there anger on politicians like John Kerry who voted to erode our intelligence infrastructure during his Senate career, which again allowed the attacks to happen.

It's clear that Doyle and Willett pretend to speak for all the victims and their families.

LOL! Great line. It seems the Demorats are hoping voters will forget about 9-11 when it comes time to vote. I wonder why?

This is what needs to be said in our ads. Heck, if the Rats and the media are going to criticize Bush for a mild ad like the one they're complainging about, we may as well go for the jugular, get the truth out and get some results.
To: BigSkyFreeper; Dog
What's so outrageous is that Willett has been politically active before this and any half-wit reporter should know it. Doyle seems to have found his fame upon the death of his son.
To: The_Victor
Of course, Kerry and the Dems won't try using the deaths of American soldiers in Iraq for political gain.
Nor will they try turning the personal tragedies of America's unemployed to their advantage.

At least they bothered to include one pro-Bush quoteI was listening to the ABC radio news today when they covered this story. They started out by saying many are outraged, quoted some guy and went on to say "at least one person" wasn't.
LOL. No bias there!

This reporter knows this response has been orchestrated in advance by the demoncrats. He is a willing accomplice.
