'Real America' wasn't attacked on 9/11

Excuse Me, But Didn't McCain and Palin Just Say That the Victims of 9/11 Weren't 'Real Americans'?
Some questions about a colleague's work came up yesterday during a business call. We couldn't ask her about them, though. Why? Because she was somewhere between the 95th and 99th tower of the World Trade Center's North Tower on the morning of September 11, 2001.

Sarah Palin says that the 'real America' is in small towns and formerly red states. She says the people in the cities and in the North aren't 'pro-American.' Yet most of the people who lost their lives at the World Trade Center lived in the cities and suburbs.

Not real Americans? The firefighters who sacrificed their lives by going back into a burning building to save lives? Not real Americans? The friends and colleagues who died in pitch black crowded stairwells in some Boschean vision of hell? Or broke a window and jumped from the 101st floor rather than continue to feel their skin grow hotter and hotter?

Not real Americans? The wives and husbands who continue to grieve, the parents who lost sons and daughters, the children whose healing is yet to come?

They're saying that Northern Virginia isn't the real America, either. Joe McCain says it's "communist." Another McCain spokesperson says it's not even the real South.

Nothern Virginia. You know - where the Pentagon is

This is low class and immoral. Real Americans are better people than these people. We are above this kind of low class Carl Rove manipulation.

[TamaraReilly]

IT IS ALL OBVISOULY TRUE! WHY WOULD THEY LET 1000'S OF INNOCENT PEOPLE DIE JUST BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THAT WASNT REAL! GET A LIFE AND NOTHING ABOUT SEPTEMBER 11TH IS FUNNY!

Right Wing Nut Jobs. They just don't know how "Un-American" they really are - until they open their mouth.

@gkhelsinki

Well but you have to realize, Finland have high population of atheists so they can understand what is good for themselves and everyone.

Here in America, we have such a Christian dominant populations that the extremists rather listen to God and pray instead of having a good health care system. It is not a small population either, and these extremists are violating the Constitution to put God into the Government.

I hope we can evolve into Finland one day.

@trolololoz GDP? You don't have a clue what you are talking about.

[Joe11Blue]

@gkhelsinki Yeah with $370+ Billion of debt for only 5.2 Million people. A shrinking water reserve, and a stagnant economy. Yeah, you guy's are doing great.

[trolololoz]

@mizzoulibertarian Size does not matter, you simply have to upscale things to work in USA. USA in fact has a higher per capita GDP, so paying for universal healthcare would hurt the upper classes' pocketbooks less then it does in Finland.

[gkhelsinki]

@mizzoulibertarian after seeing his politics for over a year, I definately agree with you.

[mizzoulibertarian]

@gkhelsinki Obama doesn't want the US to be like Finland. He is just like mcain. and Finland is smaller country.
