According to Elizabeth Greenspan, author of the up coming book Battle for Ground Zero (St. Martin’s Press), Michael Shulan, creative director of the 9/11 Memorial Museum, thought about cutting the famed photo from Ground Zero of three firefighters raising the American flag amidst the rubble of the World Trade Center…because he thought it was too “rah-rah America.” Shulan said, “I really believe that the way America will look best, the way we can really do best, is to not be Americans so vigilantly and so vehemently.”

The chief curator of the museum, Jan Ramirez, eventually minimized the photograph in favor of three other camera angles of the scene. “Several images undercut the myth of ‘one iconic moment,’ Ramirez said,

They attacked America on 9.11. they attacked symbols of America because we are America. They hate us because we are America. What exactly is wrong with this expression of our being American on that horrific day?

The 911 monument must praise al Qaeda (now supported by
the US gov’t against the functionally ‘naked’ American
people whom the gov’t has betrayed with treason).

What is it with these people?  It's as if they're embarrassed about our nation.  Man, if they're that upset, just move away.  Leave the rest of us in peace.

What a load of carp. If someone were to tell me this museum was CAIR approved, I would beleive it.

How quickly the revisionists have moved to re-write history!

Freaking shame.

He is “getting his.” His name is all over the Internet and he is being bashed on conservative blogs.

I wouldn't want to be him right now.

AntiAmerican asshats infest every corner of our society. There is no way a tree, with the trunk so rotted, can stand for long.

“My concern, as it always was, is that we not reduce [9/11] down to something that was too simple, and in its simplicity would actually distort the complexity of the event, the meaning of the event,”

A bloody OUTRAGE!! There was nothing complex about 9-11. It was very simple.

Muslim terrorists attacked America, and killed 3,000 civilians without provocation. End of story. It was only a complex event in the delusional mind of progressive leftists, who have to jump through all kinds of Orwellian mental hoops in a disgusting attempt to mold reality to their totalitarian worldview.

I’m waiting to tour the 9/11 Museum, to discover the following sections:

1) Why America is Hated So
2) Provocational Acts of America Against Islam
3) Allah Is The Only True God
4) We Deserved It
5) How Bad We Got Creamed, Look At The Bodies Of The Infidels
6) How To Convert To Islam

Yet these are the same people that think Zimmerman killed Trayvon just because Trayvon was black.
