I am sick of the left wing media using the "non partisan" familys of 9-11 victims as political puppets. They just ran a story on the radio that was sickening. it was about how the 9-11 families are so sure that we are not prepared for another attack. tel me, how does being related to somone killed on 9-11 make you an instant expert on national secuirty? then they play a quote form one of the guys saying "as far as I am concerned thre should be no republicans or democrats, only americans regarding our secuirty" this seemingly innocent quote was quickly followed up by the reporter saying the 9-11 familys say the white house isnt doing enough to make us secure. WTF? the slimy democrats always get the people who they feel are uncriticizeable to do their dirty work for them. Why, no one can question the credibility of a 9-11 victim! we have to believe everything they say! Bull crap. another case of the DEMOCRAT media giving free time to the democrats. sure, we can pass campaign finaince reform to stop the republicans, but the media can "report" on things, and if they happen to all be sublte swipes at bush so be it.

thats right, you got all scared and started foaming at the mouth. you know 9-11 is a lose lose for your side so any reference to it will be met with all kinds of fake outrage and concern in an atempt to stop it. lets pretend it never happened shall we? its off limits, lets all focus on vietnam.

Trav, I’m showing you that you can attack the Democrats for using 9/11 as an advantage point. Yet, your Republican President used it in a television ad. That is what I was trying to say, and you didn’t understand it. That’s too bad…

Is it ok for the right-wing media to do it?

They just ran a story on the radio that was sickening. it was about how the 9-11 families are so sure that we are not prepared for another attack. tel me, how does being related to somone killed on 9-11 make you an instant expert on national secuirty?

Since the relatives of the victims of 9-11 have a powerful motive to enlighten themselves on national security issues, and have had nearly three years to do it, I question your referring to them as "instant experts".

then they play a quote form one of the guys saying "as far as I am concerned thre should be no republicans or democrats, only americans regarding our secuirty"

A noble sentiment.

this seemingly innocent quote was quickly followed up by the reporter saying the 9-11 familys say the white house isnt doing enough to make us secure. WTF? the slimy democrats always get the people who they feel are uncriticizeable to do their dirty work for them.

Why was the reporter speaking, or the families?

And how dare you call us scummy democrats slimy....it's an outrage I tell you!

Why, no one can question the credibility of a 9-11 victim! we have to believe everything they say!

I think it would be a bit tasteless to question the credibility of a 9-11 victim, but I certainly wouldn't believe anything they say because,... you know....they're dead and all.

Bull crap. another case of the DEMOCRAT media giving free time to the democrats. sure, we can pass campaign finaince reform to stop the republicans, but the media can "report" on things, and if they happen to all be sublte swipes at bush so be it.

I thought it was the "liberal media"...damn Trav, make up your mind which simplistic generalization you're going to apply to the media will you?...I'm having trouble keeping up...:rolleyes:

Are you kidding? The inference was totally made by the media, and Trav pointed it out.

We all have a powerful motive to "enlighten" ourselves on issues regarding national security. What makes their testimony more poignant than any other American, and how does their experience with 9-11 make them "more credible" then it would any other citizen who gets their news the same way you or I do? If it solely deals with the fact that they lost loved ones, then it has no credence. If you feel that it does, then maybe we should appoint them all to the de facto position of dictating security protocol in Washington.

I hope you see my point...

Why was the reporter speaking?
POLITICAL AGENDUM.

That's not what he meant, and you know it. The "victims" can be the families as well, and his point was simple: who the hell are they, other than a select few Americans who just so happened to be very directly affected by the atrocity, to make judgment calls on national security? It was an incredibly logical question, and one I'd expect most of you to dodge on this forum.

Your opening post was all about criticizing the democrats for using 9-11 and the victims of 9-11 in a radio ad, then you turn around and give the above quote about 9-11 being a lose-lose for the democrats and that they pretend it never happened. Which is it, are they using 9-11 or ignoring it? Once again your hypocrisy cancells out any point you were trying to make.

read it again genius. I dont care if the democrats use the twin towers blowing up on thier ads, what gets me is the so called "objective" media using it covertly for the dems, who know they could never pull it off in a straight up ad.
