Sept. 11 Families Disgusted by Bush Campaign Ads

Anyone with an AOL account, please vote on the ads in their front-page poll...thus far the "ads are exploitative" side is winning.

[Trueblackman]

That is too damn funny.

>> Mr. Doyle is in the liberal media rolodex. Every time they need a quote attacking Bush, he's there with fresh new material ...

So is Mindy Kleinberg, Ron Willet, and Monica Gabrielle (Gabrielle and Kleinberg were quoted in a similar hit-piece in the New York Daily News). Willet's brother, John, who was killed at the WTC, was a registered Democrat who, at one time, had falsely charged two Republican county officials with corruption. Mindy Kleinberg has been interviewed in the past by the extreme left-wing program, "NOW", to give you an idea where her heart lies. Monica Gabrielle has been interviewed by media worldwide (including the BBC) on her crusade on skyscraper safety (she is crusading, of course, for just what the world needs: a skyscraper that can withstand a direct hit by a huge, fully-fueled, inter-continental airliner traveling over 500 miles per hour).

Oh. You are. Didn't look to see your handle before I posted. Where did you get all these images? They are great! Hard to fathom and difficult to look at, but a great record of the event.

John Gibson did have 2 women on - one from each side of the fence. John put the Bush person on last, and ended up staying with her longer.

Somebody needs to talk to the Firefighters and Police who BOOOED The Witch off the stage, right after 9/11.

That was then. Now they're supporting Kerry. Those unions will stick together and vote as they are told.

According to Brit Hume there are many firefighters who are not in the least offended by the ad. The small group making waves are Kerry supporters who have been campaigning with him from the start. Tell us again who is exploiting 9/11?

would vote for Saddam Hussein before I would vote for Bush

I am so disgusted by this comment. I'm sorry she lost someone but a lot of us have family still in harms way concerning the aftermath of 9/11. This mom is sick and tired of listening to 9/11 families for a a peaceful tomorrow. These families are also helping to sponsor a march from Dover to Walter Reid. I guess they aren't happy enough exploiting their own dead but they have to include themselves in speaking out for our military too. Enough is enough!!!

[sport]

All of them.

It would be tempting to guess it never occured to the minority of right wing news outlets to put out "9/11 Families Support Bush Ads"

The reality is that the left has been played,the reaction anticipated and the the GOP the winner of this skirmish.

Socialists and com symps have been outed, and the GIGOLO's days are numbered.

"...This will turn out much like "The Passion of the Christ".
People will want to see the ads to see what all the fuss is about - and then when they do, they'll comment on how ridiculous the Dems look trying to make something out of absolutely nothing. They've shot themselves in the foot - AGAIN! I love it."

Yeah, I just watched all the ads on the Bush Cheney web site. What IS THE BIG DEAL????

This is why I canceled my local newspaper. The editorials would have screaming headlines about some supposedly terrible dirt on Bush. I'd read it, and say to myself, "So What?"

I don't mind a good disagreement that challenges my thinking, but lately big media has been a big case of The Emperor's New Clothes. Lots of fuss over nothing, turning off more and more people.

Pre-Canned DNC outrage.

This was planned and the useful idiots are parrots.

That's another thing that really sets me off. The death benefits for 9/11 victims' families are unprecedented -- they're literally getting millions of dollars, tax free, courtesy of you and me. Compare that to the 250 grand a soldier's family gets if he is killed overseas. And the 9/11 victims' families also all received money from us in the form of a billion dollars of donations Americans made after 9/11.

But if you listen to the rhetoric of these professional victims, 9/11 families have suffered more, and been treated worse, than any other families in the history of mankind. Never mind all the outpouring of support they've received from their fellow citizens for the past 2 1/2 years. It's never enough for these folks, and I'm sick and tired of hearing from them.

bttt

[Travis McGee]

Give us 24 hours, and we could round up a dozen 9-11 victim survivors who would swear that America had it coming. These handful of 'rats mean nothing.

[Jeff Head]

'tis only I

[Dante3]

My first reaction to this headline was: "How much money did those relatives make off the deaths of 9/11 victims?" None, and they are furious? Or millions and want more?

[Jeff Head]

Kerry is a pure charlatain IMHO, a complete self-serving opportunist who is in reality an enemy to this nation and all it is founded upon and the free way of life it has stood for historically.

[Jeff Head]

In reality they do, of course, mean nothing. But a willing and abetting group of politicians and major media are trumpeting them about and artificially trying to increase their relative impact. It is shameful and they are enemies to all we hold dear.

...but we already knew that.
