Bringing It On" By Vincent Fiore Senator Kerry has lately taken to using a line that President Bush had used in early July of 2003 while taking questions from the White House press pool in the Roosevelt room. Mr. Bush's declaration of "bring it on” {actually, he said "bring’em on”} in reference to Iraq being overrun by Islamic extremists and terrorists is now, thanks to Senator Kerry, as infamous as the "axis of evil" line in the 2002 State of the Union address. On March 4, 2004, two days after John Kerry punched John Edwards’s ticket to become the presumptive Democratic nominee to face Mr. Bush on November, the President did indeed "bring in on,” and the Democrats and their candidate did not like it. It seems the “fire in the belly” that Senator Kerry boasts of has instead turned out to be Jell-O in the knees, as he and his party bewailed the Presidents official entry into the campaign of 2004. Unveiling three campaign commercials with a theme that is both positive in its message and defiant in its convictions, Democrats and their surrogates in the media reacted with fluctuating anger and superimposed outrage. The talk of the morning of March 4 was the headline run by the New York Daily News which blared on its front page, "Furor over Bush's 9/11 ad." The "furor" is from about a dozen families of firefighters and relatives who lost family that day. Their anger is centered on the impression that President Bush is politicizing 9/11 for personal gain. Though this makes for another supposed outrage and scandal to use against Mr. Bush, it is one that is falsely and grossly misrepresented. If the complaint is "politicizing", as the media contends and Mr. Kerry tactfully demurs to, then how do they explain a commercial that he ran two days before 9/11 during his campaigning in Iowa? In the ad, Mr. Kerry asks: “How do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake”? At that point, the announcer cuts in with, among other things, how Senator Kerry “sounded the alarm on terrorism years before 9/11” www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_030504/content/truth_ detector_2.member.html This ad not only “politicizes” 9/11, as he is referencing it {horror of horrors!}, but Vietnam as well, embarrassingly so. Might the “angered” families seem swayed to “politicizing” the events of 9/11? Here is a statement from the “aggrieved” Kristen Breitweiser of New Jersey, who sadly, lost her husband during the attacks: “Three thousand people were murdered on President Bush’s watch. He has not cooperated with the investigation to find out why that happened.” How about the 262,000 member International Association of Fire Fighters {IAFF} union in Florida, who endorsed Senator Kerry 5 months prior to the ads now being run by the Bush campaign? They have seen fit to push a resolution asking Mr. Bush to pull the ads, and to “apologize to the families of firefighters killed on 9/11 for demeaning the memory of their loved ones in an attempt to curry support for his re-election.” No, no “politicizing” there. Throughout this campaign season, it is the Democrats who have all but completely omitted 9/11 from the discussion, wishing instead to reference it only when attempting to disfigure Mr. Bush’s honor and character. It is the same Democratic Party that none too secretly regret that 9/11 had not happened on President Clinton's watch, thereby denying him an honorable legacy. Further, it is these same democrats today, including Senator Kerry, who are sorely preoccupied with the worldwide “quagmire” Mr. Bush has gotten the country into via his “reckless and arrogant” policies of defending it. A sensible follower of events would ask: What are the intentions of John Kerry and an elite media that condemn a war time President for simply reminding the electorate of what he has done since 9/11 and what he will do? Well, principally it is because they did not do it, and seek to undermine any attempts of the President who has. Have they forgotten that we were attacked? Or would they like you to forget? I opt for the latter sentiment. From a personal standpoint, living in New York and working for the FDNY has given me some insight others do not have. I plainly state that all the members that I have talked to have no problem with Mr. Bush’s use of imagery from 9/11, imagery that every one of them will never forget. Nor do they want you to forget. New York City Firefighter Mike Moran, who lost his brother Chief John Moran on that fateful day, reacted to the media outrage. He summed up the country’s feeling’s in what has to be one of the most poignant reminder’s of 9/11 that I have ever heard: “The big thing that was being written in the dust in the windows, putting on the bumper stickers, was that "We Will Never Forget." And not only has John Kerry and all these people seem to have forgotten already, but they don't want any images shown that will remind you.” I was there. You were there. We were all there, together. The Democrats and their candidate were there too. It is beyond the pale that a party so desperate for the acquisition of power would erase the events of 9/11 for their sole purpose of, you guessed it, political gain. Funny how that works, isn’t it? bushcountry.org

There's nothing wrong with protesting, but there is something very wrong with slandering all the troops in Vietnam, falsely claiming they've done atrocities to the local nationalist civilian population... that POS Hanoi john still has not made any effort to correct himself... GZ
