I don't know if Mike did but BCM did. Battle Chief Moran (BCM) died in the World Trade Center. Mrs. BCM did post on some of the memorial threads. I'll look around.

I think his screen name was Royal IA, and BCM's father-in-law was BCM-FIL.

Rush played it to point out there's no firestorm over Kerry's touting his record. Its only when President Bush attempts to highlight his own record, that its suddenly off-limits. A good look at what the libs are trying to do.

I understand that.

I'm looking for the ad or transcript of the ad to remind others what imagery Kerry used in his own ads.

A transcript should be on Rush's website later today.

Asking about hillary being booed at the rally!

He said people didn't want to hear her feel good touchy feelly words that didn't mean anything.

He says how slimy can you get about the dems reaction.

What a great call! He is so very inspirational! God Bless him and his family in their grief and loss.

He says he is not supporting the union. He said he would not want to play poker with Bush after seeing him at that school that day when Andrew Card whispered in his ear.

Man, he nailed what the election of Kerry would mean. All the soldiers and Marines would have died in vain, and we would have to kow-tow to the French and international community. Rush said "I can't add more to that." Neither can I.

Well said, Mr. Moran.

New York Post ^ | 10/22/01 | LARRY CELONA
October 22, 2001 -- A New York City firefighter's fightin' Irish words for Osama bin Laden were the surprise hit of the benefit Concert for New York. Wild applause shook Madison Square Garden when Michael Moran, 38, delivered his in-your-face patriotic message to the terror chief: "Kiss my royal Irish ass!" But the rave reviews didn't stop there. Moran's fiancée, Donna, was moved to tears. And when he got home, the Ladder Co. 3 veteran found a congratulatory note on his door. His answering machine was full - with messages from people who watched the live event on television. "Mike, ...

Irish Tribute dot com ^ | 3-21-02 | Doug from Upland
Through IrishAbroad.com, I found a WTC tribute site. Please take the time to go add a tribute to John Moran who was known as FReeper BCM -- Battalion Chief Moran. WTC TRIBUTE PAGE From NY Times Oct 25 'Firefighter With Law Degree' John Moran was a Fire Department battalion chief and his cousin Joseph Crowley was a congressman. But when they united their voices that last Saturday afternoon, at the block party in the Rockaways -- well, "The Star of the County Down" never sounded sweeter. At 42, Chief Moran was a kayaking, tin- whistle-playing firefighter with a law degree....

The bone-chilling wail of bagpipe playing "Amazing Grace" echoed through a Queens church yesterday as yet another fallen firefighter from the World Trade Center tragedy was memorialized in death. It was yet another day — of many more to come — for Masses and memorial services for both heroic rescue workers and innocent civilians lost in the flames and collapsing towers. At the memorial Mass for 49th Battalion Chief John Moran, his younger brother, Firefighter Michael Moran of Ladder 3, recalled how he spoke to his brother by cell phone after the second plane crashed into the Trade Center.

John Moran was my son-inlaw. John truly was a Gentle Giant.He is terribly missed by us all! I was completely overwhelmed when I first discoverd this website and read all the postings on John's tribute.John and I shared conservative views (The Constition)which I thought was very unusual for a New Yorker. I'm an Idaho Redneck. I can't express what it meant to me when I read all the postings on John's tribute.It really choked me up! Thanks for all the expressions of condolences and encouragement. God Bless You All!BCM-FILI simply added FIL(father in-law)to his name.

From the Sun Tzu section called "Laying Plans"

18. All warfare is based on deception.
19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
20. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.
21. If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him.

I'm told that Karl Rove reads "The Art of War" religiously. 22. If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.
