"One jerk pronounced that 09/11 was an event that wouldn't rank in the first tier of attacks from his perspective, if compared to the Revolutionary War, the Civil War or World War II."
I heard that and just about tossed a brick at the TV. He even included the Great Depression as a greater threat than 1/11. This guy, some author who wrote a book about George Washington, impressed me as being so full of himself--to the point of hubris. He posed his 9/11 remark as a question, including a remark about how all of Europe thinks the US "overreacted" to 9/11. I wish there had been enough time to hear others on the panel answer, for I can't believe that even most liberal rats would have agreed with him.
I agree. This show was so bad, that it would be a good exercise to disect every sentence and critique them for what they were.
