Actually, it is interesting how close the words chosen by some interviewed were exactly the same. Rush ran a combination of interviews from TV, and because of unique wording, it did make one wonder how many are being coached to say what they say. Then you can also listen to family members that have no problem whatsoever with it. It is a democrat and republican perspective. If one wants to look at the ads of the opponent they will always find something to hook onto to. 9-11 is very sensitive to the families and ourselves. I really do not think the ad is very good, but I am not insulted by it, it is history. It is much like the people that are overly upset about Kerry's anti war activities. How insensitive he was describing the rape and murder commited by our own in Vietnam, while body bags and armless, legless heroes were coming home. If one wants to make an issue out of something, they will. In most cases it is blown way out of proportion.

That is all staged demolib talking points. Did you think it would be un-noticed that they all said nearly the same thing with nearly identical words? As it turns out, this group of 9/11 families is funded by the Heinz foundation, controled by none other than Teresa. It is this group, aligned with Kerry that is using the families for political gain. As far as the firefighters go, I hear the Union leadership saying they find it offensive, but they do not represent their membership very well. Mike Moran and others are now speaking out in favor of the ads. Gerry NYC Firefighter who lost friends and his sister-in-law in 9/11 : "The union has nothing to do with the membership" "There is not one member that I know of" (that agrees with the union). It is the union leadership that is politicizing the issue. 9/11 and terrorism and GWB's record on terrorism are legitimate topics for the election. It is understood very well that demolibs do not want GWB to use any 9/11 themes. It paints GWB in too good a light. Too bad for you. RE: The grieving families and co workers of firefighters find Bush's taste in airing that for political gain as very offensive.
