Families of 9-11 Victims Rally Against Bush Warmongering
Village Voice ^ | 9/11/03 | Sarah Furguson

Posted on 03/05/2004 8:05:36 PM PST by William McKinley

This week, the media will converge on ground zero, ready to milk the anniversary of 9-11. While the Bush administration claims to be acting on behalf of all Americans hurt by the attacks, a small but steadfast group of relatives of those killed on 9-11 continues to oppose the wars of retaliation being fought in their name. In simple, moving prose, writer David Potorti, who lost a brother at the World Trade Center, tells how this group of 80 grieving strangers came together as Peaceful Tomorrows, bound by the conviction that the deaths of their loved ones should not be used to justify the killing of innocent civilians abroad. Taking their name from a speech by Martin Luther King Jr. ("Wars are a poor choice for carving out peaceful tomorrows"), the group spoke out at anti-war rallies and traveled to Afghanistan and Iraq to meet with families torn apart by U.S. bombing raids.

Pundits have accused the group of being "naïve, unpatriotic pawns"; Potorti includes some of the remarkably cruel e-mails sent to the group's website (peacefultomorrows.org), screeds that underscore how brave their anti-war effort has been. In one chapter, Kelly Campbell, whose partner's brother was killed at the Pentagon, describes the sorrow expressed to her by an Afghan mother whose whole family was killed when a U.S. bomb flattened her house. "How incredible that they could feel compassion for Americans," Campbell remarks. "How important that we build on this mutual sympathy." As the violence escalates in both Iraq and Afghanistan, Peaceful Tomorrows offers a roadmap for other activists seeking peace against all odds. (On Wednesday, September 10, members of Peaceful Tomorrows will lead a candlelight vigil encircling the World Trade Center. Call 212-603-3700 for more information.)

Are you sure you didn't miss a news source that is following the Democrapt news release.

I heard many calls on Sean Hannity today from deceased fireman's families that praised Bush for the ad.

It just shows that the Dems know they can't survive an election based upon the will to defend this country instead of letting it be destroyed.

I pity anyone who lets victims' families determine who they vote for. The tragedy has a place in our past, present, and future, but should never determine the presidency based on the views of this select few unfortunate people.

As Oklahomans pointed out, New Yorkers didn't seem particularly outraged after Oklahoma City.

"It almost feels like they're messing with my head," said David Potorti of North Carolina, whose brother was killed in the attacks on New York.

"We're not ready to move on and think about everything wonderful that's happened since 9/11. I want to know what happened on that day."

Dear David

They flew a plane into the World Trade Tower!

a little slow posting your news ain'tcha?

A couple of questions:
1) Why did you feel it necessary to post every paper that picked up the the guy's little speech as if it were a separate item? Did you want to make it seem as if there were more than one story?
2) Given that there were roughly 3000 deaths and many more than that victims of the 9/11 tragedy and each of them had family and friends. We'll say 10 friends and or family per victim - a very conservative number, wouldn't you agree? Now out of that number what percentage do you suppose this group of 80 is?

And one observation:
Taking their name from a speech by Martin Luther King Jr. ("Wars are a poor choice for carving out peaceful tomorrows")

A few years before MLK another orator had this to say: "We give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as we go to war in order that we may have peace." - Aristotle

It makes me sick," said Colleen Kelly, who lost her brother Bill Kelly Jr., in the attacks and leads a victims families group called Peaceful Tomorrows. "Would you ever go to someone's grave site and use that as an instrument of politics? That truly is what Ground Zero represents to me."

Did you ever hear of the Gettysburg Address?

A couple of answers.
a little slow posting your news ain'tcha?
Not at all. Mr. Potorti decided to come out today and blast the Bush ads. I went back to find out what else he has been involved in.
Why did you feel it necessary to post every paper that picked up the the guy's little speech as if it were a separate item?
I found it instructive to show how his agitprop was echoed by the media. Odds are that he had some help in this endeavor. I am sure Mr. Soros is pleased.
Did you want to make it seem as if there were more than one story?
I wanted to show how the media's echo chamber works when they want something to get widespread attention.
Given that there were roughly 3000 deaths and many more than that victims of the 9/11 tragedy and each of them had family and friends. We'll say 10 friends and or family per victim - a very conservative number, wouldn't you agree? Now out of that number what percentage do you suppose this group of 80 is?
A small percentage. A very vocal small percentage, with rich friends who have a very distinct (and abominable) political agenda.

Any other questions?

I think his point was the same as yours -- Media is making it seem like an extremely small number of people are larger and more important than they are by running the same story over and over again with minor changes.

You could find more than eighty people, loosely connected to 9/11 victims, who worship the 3 toed sloth by coating themselves with green slime and hanging upside down from trees.

And while I'm on the subject - Can you imagine a group like this after Pearl Harbor demanding peace with Japan? They'd have probably been hung. Which, come to think of it, isn't a bad idea.

I believe President Bush is using some great "stratergy" here. He knows this will get the libs panties in a bunch and make them shoot their mouths off, giving him more ammunition.

Meanwhile he gets LOTS of media attention, and he can pummell the rat bastards when ever he wants.
