Looney Lefties Invoke Terror Attacks to Slander Cops, Giuliani and Bush A group planning to march against police brutality later this month has compared New York City policemen, 23 of whom died in the Twin Towers attacks, to the terrorists who perpetrated the Sept. 11 atrocity. "October 22nd Coalition" organizer Flaco Scott told a Manhattan press conference Tuesday that the NYPD was more sinister than Osama bin Laden, reports the New York Post. "We must not let the [NYPD] exploit our grief and other emotions to legitimize even more backward, repressive measures against us," Scott claimed, adding that U.S. retalliation for the Twin Towers attacks exposed "fundamental links between the stolen lives here and those in Afghanistan." Scott, whose group asserts bizarrely that NYPD has murdered 2,000 people in the last 10 years, also attacked New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and President Bush. "They have never stood for justice or against the taking of innocent lives," he complained. Not to be outdone, coalition supporter Juanita Young told the gathering that the Twin Towers attacks were "just another form of [NYPD] policing." Young praised the terrorists for their relative bravery, noting that they "gave up their lives in taking inocent lives. ... But when the police take our children away from us, they don't risk their lives." Separately, stand-up comic Kate Clinton, who was entertaining at a fundraiser for New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Fernando Ferrer Tuesday, referred to President Bush as "George bin Bush." Ferrer, who was not present at the time, denounced the "bin Bush" reference when told of it later. Comedienne Clinton is apparently no relation to ex-President Clintonnewsmax.com
