I dont remember it being called a 9-11 tribute during the convention . only the left wing cooks who hate republicans even more than they hate the Islamic terrorist who attacked us did that .
This has everything to do with Mccain and the entire gaggle of republican elites - they are telling the world very clearly what they have in store: holy war on islam and all muslims.
This is truly the most disgusting piece of hate speech I have ever seen, and I hope that those who engineered, approved and stood before this piece of Hitlerian crap will all stand trial for incitement to genocide.
Freefall, he tried 3x; at least he didn't ignore the warning like Bush. One of these persons actions caused the deaths of more than 3K ppl. Thank you very much. Wake the hell up.
Galling. Sickening. BOO! Be afraid and vote stupid.
Shameful. Shameless. Disgusting. I'd say the GOP should be ashamed of themselves but they have no shame, none at all.
Also, wasn't Bush in the White House when 9/11 happened? Hello? Didn't he get a briefing from the CIA warning about terrorist attacks using airplanes? Meanwhile... back in REALITY... and not the delusional fantasies you space cadets cling to...
BLAME Mr. AUGUST 2001 VACATION "WISH YOU WERE HERE" BUSH!!!
and to the people blaming bill clinton... this actually started WAY back when we gave money and weapons to osama ... so maybe you should blame the president who was in charge when we did that... OH WAIT it was the republican savour REAGAN. ope! guess who put the bathist in iraq in power too and then funded their war with iran ? OPE! thats right, republicans! sorry, my republican friends, your hands are the bloodiest... and it will forever be known that way. epic fail.
Disgusting propoganda film, the RNC should be ashamed. That is, if they were capable of shame. It's amazing that the OBL bogeyman can be paraded around every two years by Republicans looking for votes, but those who vote for them still don't realize they're being played. Fear must be an awful thing to live with.
For those that want to blame Clinton for 9/11, remember that Bush has been president almost as long as Clinton was...and OBL is *still* free. And 9/11 happened on Bush's watch.
9/11 courtesy of the Bush regime. I feel much safer. NOT!!!! This is what republican leadership gets you. Don't drink the kool-aid. Where is Bin Laden? Why did Bush let him get away?
My corporation is currently under serious competitive pressures and I've been thinking about hiring a new CEO, I've narrowed my choices down to Carly Fiorina, Bernie Ebbers, and Jeff Skilling. When I spoke to each of them on the phone they told me that they were the best choices to help my company avoid bankruptcy and a declining share price.
What is this the "Red Scare" now? The GOP is full of heartless bastards. Let there be no doubt that Bush knew. Cheney knew and they let it happen so they could start their oil war.
He tried on several occasions and was criticized for doing so. Remember them whining "wag the dog"? Wolfowitz and others tried to get Clinton to invade Iraq, but he refused. He said his target is al Qaeda. When bush took office he shut down the al Osama bin Laden CIA mission and transferred them to the Iraq office.
they also stopped the Saudi office too, and they were 15 of the 19 hijackers. GW bush's Arbusto was financed by Salem bin Laden. GHWB was in business with the bin ladens.
Again, I urge you to read "Imperial Hubris." It's one of the most important books on the WOT. I can vouch for his insights into Arab culture. Without knowing the enemy, we will be defeated. Don't listen to those who say we don't need to know their culture. Our ignorance and arrogance has killed our soldiers. and ensured defeat. Our arrogance caused the stalemate in Iraq. We could have won, but it is lost, and we are losing in Afghanistan.
If the Republicans hadn't blocked the airline security measures, the hijackers wouldn't have gotten access to the cockpit. The Republicans and the airlines spiked Clinton and Gore's guidelines. We would have had the same level of security that has kept Israel's airlines safe.

bush wouldn't listen to Clinton's warnings about Osama. Over and over again, they refused to listen. Iraq was all that mattered to bush Inc. Osama wanted to goad us into fighting on his turf on his terms. He wants to do to us what was done to the USSR in Afghanistan. It's working. Read history books, stop listening to Rush and Savage. They don't know, and if they did, they wouldn't tell you the truth.
Take it from a veteran of Army Intelligence. My mission was the Mideast. Read the two books
"First of all, probably nothing but liberals here so far lol"
"as someone who was there on 9/11, was caught in the dust cloud, and knew two people that died as emergency responders, I find this video pandering and offensive."
RideWitChrist: SHUT THE FUCK UP. Don't you ever DARE try to justify politicizing such a horrible event like 9/11. EVER. They do remember the people lost that day every single day. They don't like YOU remember it when it's useful for your party. Fuck you and fuck the GOP.

First of all, probably nothing but liberals here so far lol, anyways, no the Conservatives did not use this for political gain or points it was a reminder for the loved ones that were lost that day and 9/11 will be here in 6 days, ok for those that lost people show them respect they deserve and never let there memory die.
"it was a reminder for the loved ones that were lost that day and 9/11 will be here in 6 days,"
---- So the Republican party thinks Americans are so fucking stupid that they had to "remind" us all about it. They weren't looking for political gain, they were just offering the courtesy to America of "reminding" us all about it, because you know, we're just a bunch of fucking idiots who vote for "values".
Well thanks GOP, thanks for "reminding" us that you failed in your fucking job.
Yeah, that's what I call respect. Should I die a tragic death, I sure hope someone creates a propaganda film for use at a political rally for MY benefit. How vacuous are you??
(CNN) -- A Florida man is using billboards with an image of the burning World Trade Center to encourage votes for a Republican presidential candidate and politicize the 9/11attacks.
"Please Don't Vote for a Democrat" reads the type over the picture of the twin towers after hijacked airliners hit them on September, 11, 2001.
Mike Meehan, a St. Cloud, Florida, businessman who paid to post the billboards in the Orlando area, said "I believe 9/11 could have been prevented if we'd had a Republican president at the time."
A foundation built on the backs of the dead. What a cynical use of a tragedy to score political points. The people that came up with this "tribute" should hang their heads in shame. By the way, where is Osama Bin Laden?
Wow. Talk about shameful. This iss so crass and tasteless-- I even believe these manipulative pricks had the nerve to pull to use a tragedy like this so blatantly. Absolutely sickening.
This was the tackiest, most tasteless "tribute" I've ever seen. And the Republicans howl about politicizing 9/11, and they're all more guilty of it than anyone.
Shameful. Absolutely shameful.
McCain should lose this election anyway, but yes, this should be the kicker.
That's the Republicans for you -- always ready, willing, and able to exploit tragedy for political gain! To use the tragedy of 9/11 at the RNC is too disgusting for words. There is NOTHING they won't stoop to, nothing.
I feel this opened up a lot of pain for people who lost a loved one during 9/11 and for those who knew someone affected by 9/11. This kind of "tribute" does not belong in a political campaign. This was unnecessary and should not be tolerated. McCain should lose the election for allowing this video to be shown.
