RNC Exploits 9/11, Olbermann Reacts

[wavaso]

Scaring Americas for their own political purpose is the Karl Rove's political tactics which devastated The United States of America for the last 8 years. Enough is Enough.

[velerephon]

its obvious they want to attack iran and no way mccain is a hero.

such evil these us politicians support...

[RRSAlabama]

This video is just a big appeal to emotion.

[stevekoeppelbiz]

Typical opinion of the Traitor of The United States of America, Olbermann is!

[tmh2939]

I think that this video should be shown every day!!

[mehrows]

Damn this propaganda video forgot one major truth, that America started the whole thing.

Iran didn't have anything to do with 9/11 and with the hostage video shown at the beginning, it was because of Americas blatant selfish desire to replace a democratically elected leader with one it desires, it was held hostage because of its actions. Good one Iran... but hopefully no stupid Americans will believe this shit.

[stevekoeppelbiz]

Hey mehrows, Carter enabled the situation in Iran to explode, and turn against us with their Islamic Law. So, yes, blame Jimmy Carter!!

[Joeofiowa]

This is precisely why we need to elect Obama-Biden. Even for you Republicans who value "straight talk" so much, is this not obvious fear-mongering? I do not want an administration so vengeful, do drenched in blind and angry patriotism, that it would use emotional footage like this to further it's agenda of war. We need a smarter, objective, considered patriotism to dig us out of the rut of the last 8 years.

[BruisedTaint]

Wow! God forbid we actually remember what happened on 9/11! You can't just forget! And sweeping it under the rug just won't do. Toughen up Americans! History is bound to repeat itself, especially if you pussies "choose" not to remember! Damn, where have all the Americans gone!

[SirTimbo]

So should a rape victim be shown a video of herself being raped everyday so she doesn't forget?

[0lord0kinbote0]

Ah, the soviet propaganda wasn't even this twisted.

It's really to bad americans don't care.

[ScottMasson]

you're incorrect. americans like me do care, and agree that this is propaganda of the sickest kind. unfortunately, our country is split in half, and the ones who are evil have all the money, power, and control of the media. we're trying the best we can. don't give up. get active. stay active.

[burtbaxter]

All lies - good summary on the Huffington Post website.

Sooo blatant I hope the international media pick up on it.

[ghostswa]

good for him for saying what is true. republicunts seem to think it their given right to jump on the 9/11 bandwagon whenever they feel threatened.

[stevekoeppelbiz]

I hope you die in the next terrorist attack!!

[mmusser19]

You should be ashamed of yourself.

[mmusser19]

The dude who keeps saying stupid shit that is.

[mrburningone]

If you need more proof that conservatives have no message other than playing on the countries fears by continuosly reopening wounds of the american people, then here it is.

They make me sick.

They are truly the 'Lost Americans' and there is no hope for them.

[elucify]

"It is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

--Hermann Goering, Nuremburg 1946

[notgustav]

I'm speechless. Did they resurrect Goebbels to edit this? This is disgusting. Blatant emotional manipulation to draw false associations and continue with their politics of fear. Same with the McCain 'mini-movie'

[LucindaLC]

ummmm, the Iranians had NOTHING to do with al queda in 1979, so this video is full of lies. And its disgusting how they expolited a tragedy for their own benefit. Sick.

[makfran1]

Oberman, Communist piece of.........

[supercharger5150]

Why is it that when someone, anyone speaks out against the GOP they get called a communist or socialist.

The Republicans might as well be called Nazis...

[TomSwirly]

Astonishing. Utterly astonishing. First they tried to pin it on Iraq. The US destroyed Iraq and killed a million people - but there was nothing there. Now they try to pin it on Iran.

Earth to GOP: Bin Laden was a Saudi Arabian. Saudis blew up the USS Cole. Saudis planted the bomb in the WTC in 1993. 16 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis. The FBI and CIA both say that Al Qaeda runs off Saudi money. But Bush has been buddies with the Saudis for his whole life... so nothing will happen.

[deepsixthis]

I believe that it's critical that we remember what happened and this was a terrific tribute to those who fell that day. "Never forget" is more than a slogan.

Putting your head in the sand (or other places) and denying the reality that people want to "break" America is unconscionable and painfully short-sighted.

And so is Oberman.

[wreckerpecker]

America is comprised of neighbors, bankers and brothers that will kill each other, steal your labor for some fanatical cause etc.. As well, this land does have some peaceful inhabitants that do care for others. One thing you can write on the wall is that "This land was once free before America".

How do you feel about the blacks and indians? where's their video about their families being raped and killed?

Unfortunately you appear part of the short sighted marching choir.

[BlackKnight03]

We accept the reality, you connies seem to want to substitue reality and replace it with your own deluded version.

Plus I'll just say you're damn hypocrites because if the Democrats posted something like this at their convention, you'd be up in arms and demanding torches and pitchforks.

Republican requisites

Massive double standards

Pandering to Corporations and the Religious Right

Using any sort of 'card' possible to smear opponents

Win at any cost

Prove me wrong

[peep237]

I agree.

(And why didn't they go after Bin Laden in Afghanistan? Why did they focus on Iraq???)

[theCrapture]

are we at all suprised? look at old Rudy 9iu1ian1...he spent the entirety of his campaign invoking 9/11 (conveniently leaving out how he milked that day to get out of being written off by history as a crotchwaffle) like some pervertedd mantra to the point where he himself damned near rendered it meaningless

[sevadaj]

The RNC should be ashamed of themselves for exploiting 9/11, shame, shame on them!

[GT35RK20Z1]

Agreed, it's so shameful and just so snake-like.

[Lanthanideatoms]

"This is a war we did not choose to fight... this is a war america will win... we have a president who knows how"??? LOL, fuck this propaganda bullshit. WTF!

What happened in 911 is a terrible tragedy, but leave it out in this election. That's how bush got himself reelected in 2004.

[pennyddreadful]

The so called "tribute" was just a disgusting propaganda piece to win votes. So Republicans are going to keep us safe by keeping terrorists out of the US? They couldn't even keep protesters out of their convention hall!

[supercharger5150]

I actually don't see how this is a tribute to 9/11 at all. It's a video to incite fear

"Kill us they did.", "Bodies falling."

WTF?

[alexn159]

shameless these assholes. Fuck them. does anyone still believe this kinda shit?

[hutchdoc]

Tasteless!

[TainaAtheist1]

A McCain/Palin presidency would move the capitalist nation of the United States that much more close to a nation of tyrant leaders.

.

[shutupdave69]

THIS is exactly what MORE OF THE SAME means! Good show McCain, you just showed anyone watching you really do think like the crazy's Bush and Cheney!

[taidun]

The RNC using IMAGES of 9/11 for Partisan politics. Noting is sacred to them. Simply disgusting.

[mt3355]

I agree.
