Now let's see what we have. A pair of people, out of perhaps 6,000 family members of people who were killed on 9/11 have claimed it is wrong for President Bush to mention that subject. There are many more family members of soldiers who have been killed or injured in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere. If two of those object, should Bush not make any mention of what hs has done as Commander in Chief of the war there and elsewhere?

Heck, let's not just stop there. If two recipients of Social Security think it's wrong for Bush to make any reference to SS, should that be off limits, too? Under the idea that the US Constitution contains a clause that guarantees the "freedom not to be offended," ANY subject that ANY two people object to, should be off limits for President Bush's campaign and its commercials.

Should Bush start appearing in public with a piece of duct tape across his mouth, regardless of where he is, what the audience is, and what subject they want him to talk about?

In short, this is an exceptionally stupid article, that was written by a reporter who is incapable of seeing the forest for the trees, much less the ability of seeing any fact IN CONTEXT. And BTW, the editor on this piece had to be "a maroon" also, not to notice the gaping holes in this story as written.

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.!
