just as many would be complaining if 9/11 were not mentioned, as if it never happened, a bad dream, preventable if only goron was in charge :rolleyes:

It's a little naive to believe neither side would mention 9/11. It's a little thick to believe they haven't already been doing so before this particular set of commercials. Don't you guys think the debate is pretty well defined by now?

1. Viet Nam
2. 9/11
3. Economy/jobs
4. Health care
5. Education

and now

6. Same-sex marriage

The players are set, the match has been defined. I guess I can pretend shock, but these are going to be the issues, and have been for some time.

“I would be less offended if he showed a picture of himself in front of the Statue of Liberty,” said Tom Roger, whose daughter perished on the plane that crashed into the north tower....”  


Less offended but still offended maybe?

A president running for re-election and using the image of Statue of Liberty could be offensive? How about in front of the Stars and Stripes?

The commercial shows maybe 2 seconds of WTC image in what I thought rather respectful manner.

So all the hundreds of partially related (family head had multiple wives)  Bin Laden family are evil terrorists? You do undrestand that Osama bin laden prolly has over a dozen half siblings....

and also are you trying to suggest that Bush let 911 happend because of his business dealings with the Bin Laden compannies?

You guys are certifiable...

If I were Bush I'd be splashing 9-11 all over my commercials. Lots of pictures of me with those brave firefighters... It was his political high point. He should use it to his advantage.

Seriously, both sides need to think about this:

A) 9/11/2001 happened.

B) It was not prevented.

C) **** load of Americans died.

D) Its idiotic to us the Twin Tower and Pentagon attacks as a promotion for something that was not prevented and that a **** load of Americans died in.

E) If you think its a worthwhile commerical, then you deserve a sign.

Game Over, I win - you lose.
