"perhaps even trying to evoke that pain again"

Perhaps.

I think the kreepy kats described these people best as "half-wit hokels who keep voting like the planes on 9/11 were point at them"

How about we blame the g*&damn Islamic terrorists? Oh yeah, that would likely involve courage.

The Homer-esque meatheaded chants of "U-S-A! U-S-A!" that punctuated a lot of RNC speeches told *me* everything I needed to know about that crowd.

Just more fear mongering and tasteless pandering from the party that has the audacity to parade and exploit at the RNC the same veterans that they so cruelly have turned their backs on through their merciless troop deployments, budget cuts, and active duty policy changes. Country first? Patriotism?? Courage???

It's time for HOPE as well as change.

For how many conventions can we talk about 9/11? We already had a convention in NYC in 2004; will we have to hear about this in 2012? 2016?

We need to hear it from both the Dems and Repubs! Lest we forget that tragic day, it was a beautiful and touching piece of art. Thank you from a fiercely independent.

jsucese - you are as independent as McCain - you know the maverick that votes with Bush 90% of the time.

Oh yes, it takes a lot of courage to blame a group of people that we don't know anything about, and to lump "them" in with every middle eastern person. But the video does much worse than do the really cowardly and asinine thing of blaming "them" without defining who, precisely--not vaguely and generally--"they" are; it opens a "911 tribute" with images and voiceover regarding the Iran hostage crisis, which has absolutely no relation, connection, or parallel to 911. And it suggests that "they" were behind BOTH events. Small groups of politically-motivated individuals perpetrate acts like the taking of hostages or the bombing of buildings. The RNC video purposely obscures that fact and tries to terrify the American people into hating others--and getting us ready to bomb Iran, a country that is doing nothing to threaten us in any way. I have never seen anything so blatantly and terrifyingly propagandistic and incorrect as this RNC "tribute" video. A tribute to American fear, if there is anyone in America who does not reject this video and its messages outright.

'They' are precisely radical Islamic terrorists and 'their' philosophy and followers have been at de facto war with the United States since the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979.
The connection is linear and quite solid.
Bombing and killing across the globe for decades.
And we are not scared of them either.

Please wait...
