Exactly.....bringing up grudges from four or eight years ago won't be effective. Its 2004, and its Kerry who's running this campaign to keep Bush's triumphs off the air (as Rush said, 9/11's a positive for Bush which is the reason they're howling).

Maybe the Bush campaign advisors should just ask the press, as representatives of the dem's "grievance committee" to give them a list of all areas we need to avoid talking about in an election year. Everything that could "cause pain" to someone....somewhere!

By the way, speaking of causing pain......those 9/11 families who objected to Bush using images and reminders of the twin towers tragedy.........are they the same people who have been lobbying for a "tasteful" memorial, hanging out at the 9/11 commission hearings to make sure all the info gets out, and generally wallowing in the tragedy all day--every day? Are they the ones who object to this "blink of an eye" reminder?

I would not be too insulting to 9/11 families. The "professional victim" segment of this group is actually very small. Unfortunately, they are the ones that get all the face time on TV. The 9/11 widows that I know are uniformly dignified and determined to raise their families and get on with their lives. I haven't had a chance to talk to them about these TV spots, but I do not think they would have any problem with them at all.

Groups like "The September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows" are a vanisingly small group, and probably contain no 9/11 family members at all.
