'W. RIGHT TO USE 9/11'

NY Post ^ | 3/5/04 | VINCENT MORRIS

[jimbo123]

WASHINGTON - Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Mayor Bloomberg yesterday came to President Bush's defense as the White House moved to contain a flap over Sept. 11 images in the president's new re-election ads.

Democrats, a firefighters union and some family members of victims charged that the commercials - which show quick glimpses of the destroyed World Trade Center with a flag flying and firemen removing a body from Ground Zero - were a callous attempt to exploit the tragedy for political ends.

Of course the ads are "disgraceful and should be pulled from the air." They begin, and barely begin mind you, to point out the fatuousness and implausibility of the liberals' claims to have anything to offer but more 9/11's. The counterattack which will sweep Kerry and pre 9/11 liberal thinking into justly earned oblivion has begun.

[angkor]

Kristen Breitweiser ... said Bush should not use 9/11 "political propaganda."

And here we have Ms. Breitweiser expressing some of her own propaganda:

"Bush is a man of action; in fact, he is an action hero. Except, of course, when it really counts, like in those early morning hours when this country was under attack and our Commander in Chief was drinking milk and eating cookies with second graders."
Showtime's "DC 9/11: Time of Crisis"

[RightthinkinAmerican]

CNN.com included the disclaimer: "Giuliani is a Republican and a supporter of Bush's re-election."

Why don't you ever see anything similar when it's a Bush-bashing quote?

"Michael Moore is a rabid liberal and a supporter of Kerry's attempt to undo the war on terror and take our guns."

[BB2]

What a shameful statement on your part.

What a shameful statement on your part.

huh?

[anniegetyourgun]

Ms. Breitweiser was probably shaving her underarms during the attack. Furthermore, I wish she'd tell Kerry to stop politicking on the graves of dead VN vets.

[cricket]

"Three thousand people were murdered on President Bush's watch," Breitweiser said. :

The more they say, the worse they look.

Watched exchange this morning of 'Fox&Friends First' and it is clear from the Dem attack 'strategist' that taste is not the issue of this ad; it is simply that Bush has gone where they cannot; and they do not want any reminders of his leadership.

Obviously, these Dem henchmen have been ready for this. Can only hope Bush cadre will not give an inch;

. . .in fact, the lockstepped protest so wildly, I hope Bush will have more Sept 11 images/messages, which remind us as well, why this Country needs George Bush as President.

[borisbob69]

"Three thousand people were murdered on President Bush's watch," Breitweiser said.

Yeah...they were murdered by people who expected America to respond like we did under the Clinton watch. When libs start holding themselves accountable for the mess they left Dubya in 2000, then maybe I'll listen to their whining without wanting to puke. Until then...take a hike!

[SkyPilot]

What a shameful statement on your part.

He/she was quoting someone who is a DNC hack--didn't you understand that?

[cricket]

Thanks. . .great reminder of the enemy within. . .

[Lion in Winter]

That is a quote of that sick Breitweiser woman's words.

She is one angry "nut case" !! She needs to see her shrink more often... I KNOW she can afford it. She GOTS MILLIONS AND MILLIONS from insurance AND the victim compensation fund!!

[Celtic Conservative]

"CNN.com included the disclaimer: "Giuliani is a Republican and a supporter of Bush's re-election." Why don't you ever see anything similar when it's a Bush-bashing quote? "

Just this morning I was listening to WJR, a local ABC affiliate, Which was playing soundbites of the IAFF union leader lambasting Bush. After the clip was over the announcer said " it should be noted that the IAFF has endorsed Kerry for president". I must say you are normally right, but on this A.M. I was pleasantly surprised.

[mewzilla]

Wow. I hadn't seen that before. I'm sorry for her loss, but that comment is despicable.

[MEG33]

Guilliani is coming on Fox any minute.

[cricket]

"Why don't you ever see anything similar when it's a Bush-bashing quote? "

for sure. . .why don't they give a background comment on Breitweiser; obviously, more than a wido. . .how about the Dem strategist/Union goon et al.

make the IAFF.

[eeriegeno]

And here we have Ms. Breitweiser expressing some of her own propaganda: "Bush is a man of action; in fact, he is an action hero. Except, of course, when it really counts, like in those early morning hours when this country was under attack and our Commander in Chief was drinking milk and eating cookies with second graders." Showtime's "DC 9/11: Time of Crisis"

And if Clinton (or Kerry) had been in charge, on 9/12 they would have been drinking milk and eating cookies with second graders. And on 9/13 they would have been drinking milk and eating cookies with second graders. And on 9/14 they would have been drinking milk and eating cookies with second graders.

etc etc etc...................

[Conspiracy Guy]

Why doesn't the media interview me? I could tell them how offended I am by John Kerry's traitorous activities since coming home from Nam. I could discuss the fact that I have no idea where Kerry stands on any given issue at any given time since he appears to have no stand.

Though I feel for the families who lost someone on 9/11, the attacks are not their private property. The attacks were aimed at every American. I am sick of people acting like because they lost someone, this is private. Their loss is private but the attacks were not. I will never forget it that it was an attack on me, my family, my friends, may nation. I take it personal as should every American.

If George W. Bush wants to use 9/11 in his campaign, that is his right. He was attacked too. His response to the attacks shows the character and courage his predecessor did not have when we were attacked so many times during those 8 dark years.

God Bless America and George W. Bush.

[BB2]

Sorry, didn't notice the "..." . That sentence !@$%@%^ed me off so much I fired back out of anger. Please excuse my enthusiasm.

[elfman2]

"And if Clinton (or Kerry) had been in charge, on 9/12 they would have been drinking milk and eating cookies with second graders."

And since Bush holds this office, in 10 years second graders will still be drinking milk and eating cookies.

That is a pleasant surprise! Thanks for sharing.

[Americathy]

Excellent remarks! I'm with you 100 percent!!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Thanks. I later caught my boo boos such as "may nation = my nation". I now cut and paste it everytime the subject of the ads come up.

It is short but to my point.

CG

[randita]

IMO, the Dems are way overplaying their hand on this one.

Why go all out on the first ad that's released? That's silly. What are you going to do when even more hard-hitting and effective ads come out? How are you going to scream louder than you are now?

You know there is going to a steady drumbeat of ads coming from the Bush campaign and about 99.9% of them are going to reference Bush's leadership and resolve on the War on Terror. Are Dems going to blow a gasket each and every time a new ad appears?

Don't get me wrong. I'd love to see the Dems on the defensive, red-faced, angry, hysterical and screaming 24/7, but are they so stupid or blind with hate that they don't see the picture of themselves they are showing to the American people?

[alaskanfan]

G.W. has earned the right to use those clips. IMO he should show more of the same, remind the electorate what has not happened since 9-11. I don't think I could make that same statement had Al Gore won the election.

WOOOO!!! just had a small earthquake.......hope it wasn't anyting I said.

[Tarheel]

Just heard on Fox & Friends that the IFFA is using 9/11 images in its fund raising letters for Kerry. Can you say hypocrites?

This qualifies for the Mastercard---"priceless". Thanks.

[angkor]

All I did was post her quote. How is that shameful on my part.

[Rummyfan]

They are seeking to control the debate. If they can succeed in getting certain topics defined as off-limits, they'll win with all their jobs-health care-education BS, while the elephant in the room that is national security goes unmentioned.

The election choice is already clear: Kerry is running as a 9/10 candidate, whereas the Presdient is living in the present and looking to the future.

[Redleg Duke]

I think that BB2, like me, missed the quotes on the first read. I was initially offended by your post until I reread it and realized you were merely quoting that money-grubbing nutcase.

[LucyJo]

Though I feel for the families who lost someone on 9/11, the attacks are not their private property. The attacks were aimed at every American. I am sick of people acting like because they lost someone, this is private. Their loss is private but the attacks were not. I will never forget it that it was an attack on me, my family, my friends, may nation. I take it personal as should every American.

Ditto. I think the majority of those who lost friends and loved ones that day understand that and truly do mourn and honor the memory of their individual loved ones respectfully and privately while joining with the nation as we remember and honor those lost as a group. But,it has begun to grate on me that the very ones who claim that President Bush is exploiting their loved ones are the ones who seem to be doing the exploiting by trying to achieve some sort of celebrity because of their relationship to a victim of 9/11. It's as if they aren't truly offended by exploitation as long as they can chose who does the exploitation, and who benefits from it.

All of this haranguing may cause more people to notice the ads than would have in the first place, and reasonable people will see for themselves that they serve more to remind, unify, and honor than to exploit.

If George W. Bush wants to use 9/11 in his campaign, that is his right. He was attacked too.

I was hearing some liberal callers to the Michael Medved radio show FROTHING about
the commercials yesterday.

I finally listened to that cynical little voice in my head and it said:
"Karl Rove would NEVER release a commercial that hadn't been tested with focus groups
and by the best political analysts he could find. These commercials were released
first as good campaign adverts...and the possibility of flushing out the Democrats
that would sound like polarizing, raging, unbalanced wackos."

So far, it sounds like Dubya/Rove have gotten the "two-fer".

[Conspiracy Guy]

Correct.

Thanks for the info on Breitweiser. (Her name should be Dimdummer)

I am sorry for her loss with the death of her mealticket, er, husband. She is only looking for somebody to blame.

This is the type of woman that thinks the Iraqi War is all about enriching Bush, Cheney and Halliburton. "It's all about oil, folks"!

Morons.

[cricket]

"The counterattack which will sweep Kerry and pre 9/11 liberal thinking into justly earned oblivion has begun."

So any reasonable minded person would think . .

As for this ad; the demrats protest too much and they lie too much.

We need to get off 'defensive' mode; and explain why they are offended by this message; they cannot stand being reminded that no Dem can match Bush for genuine leadership."

And they don't want America to be reminded either.

[Datom]

I hope Bush starts using the Pentagon in some of his ads. That will really drive them nuts. Not only would they have to speak out against Bush but they would have to insult the military also.
