pfft

not only was that so tiny i could hardly read the text, but i stand by what i said.

people would be outraged if shots of arlington were used in ads, I would be outraged if columbine were to be used in ads, and i am outraged that he is using the images of the WTC, where thousands of people died, for political gain.

just for reference, i don't have television service (of any
sort), nor do i participate in most major studio media
(movies, Britney, etc).
this does place me at a disadvantage as far as critiquing
these ads, but also i did not have any family members perish
in the 9/11 tragedy.
i think a little sensitivity towards their grieving is in
order. or is that too old fashioned?

as a Compassionate Conservative, i am actually a bit shocked
that he would stoop to this level. and not much shocks me
anymore. but i do like to bitch about the media and its abuses, tho.

so we are just supposed to pretend that it didn't happen and wasn't
the core focus of this president's agenda? the image shown is also
brief and nothing horrific. i really can't see the problem
in this.
if you haven't seen the ads you really should take a look.

the content is of no importance, the fact that the images of those
attacks are being used for political gain is heinous and i
would bash
ANY canidate that used them.

its unexcusable.

"I find it offensive that he has used 9/11 as a pretext for the
election," said Colleen Kelly, whose brother, Bill Kelly
Jr., died
in the World Trade Center and who has become a leader of the
victims'
movement. For her, "9/11 was a failure of this President to act."

Ron Willett of Walnut Shade, Mo., was quoted by Reuters
as saying
he was disgusted when he saw the ads. Mr. Willett, whose
29-year-old son John Charles was killed, said he is now
so upset,
"I would vote for Saddam Hussein before I would vote for Bush."
