About Those 9/11 Widows...

[MrLars]

...remember how they were trashed here as being under the control of the DNC and their talking points?

Rush slamed them but here's the details and a copy n paste of one of the letters to Rush.


Mr. Limbaugh,

For your information, I am one of the widows you are wrongly accusing of being "schooled" by the Democratic Party.
 
My name is Kristen Breitweiser.  I am not a Democrat.  I voted for President Bush.  So did my husband who was killed on 9/11.
 
I would encourage you to educate yourself on who I am, prior to your making erroneous statements about me on your radio show.
 
I would also encourage you to visit the website of the 9/11 Family Steering Committee(911independentcommission.org) of which I am a founding member.
 
The members of the Family Steering Committee (a non-partisan, completely self-funded organization) have been tireless advocates working to get answers as to why our loved ones were killed on the morning of 9/11 and why this nation was so very vulnerable to terrorism on that horrible day.  In order to make this nation safer and to ensure that our loved ones were not killed in vain, we believe that we must learn from the tragic failures that occurred leading up to and on 9/11.
 
The only way we can be safe in the future is to learn from the past.  The only way we can have a thorough examination of the past is with a cooperative government.  Sadly, President Bush has been our biggest adversary in trying to find out what happened on 9/11.  And, after voting for him in the last election, I am gravely disappointed in his behavior in fighting this commission and their noble efforts to explain why we as a nation were so vulnerable to terrorism on 9/11.
 
I look forward to your apology.

Many thanks,

Kristen Breitweiser.
 
And, as an aside, you failed to mention the following actual fact in your show:  that Mayor Giuliani, Police Commissioner Kerik, Former Fire Commissioner Von-Essen, and 9/11 Widow Deena Burnett were "BOOKED" BY THE GOP to go on those shows.  (See Washington Post article on Friday).  I, on the other hand, was "booked" by no one other than myself.  Frankly, Mr. Limbaugh, I expected better from you.

What Rush was slamming was the fact that all these people going on the talk shows were saying almost the same exact things, the same exact way...

[straffo]

Perhaps because they had the exact same feeling ?

sry for her husband and the other 3000+ dead that morning

now she needs to sit down and shut up

she is being used as a tool for the dnc if she realizes it or not, it doesn't matter

does she think ANYONE else in the whitehouse on 9/11 would have stop her husband from dying?  gore/kerry?

it boils down to the 2 sec image on the commercial, ridiculous if you think it shouldn't be shown. same way with movies, sit coms, reality shows - has anyone seen ground zero on the tele in any of these? makes me sick to see the towers in reruns of Seinfeld and old movies

Show the hole in the ground!

Reading her statement, it seems her beef is with the investigation afterwards and the administrations role in, by her perception, holding back what may be vital information.

[Martlet]

Yeah.  They should have started the investigation and given the committee 24 hours to return their findings.

Stop Stonewalling.

[john9001]

the question is not why 9/11 happened, but why it didn't happen sooner.
it bothers me when people say"why did it happen?" i have been expecting it to happen for 20 years.

of course cutting the CIA budget and telling the CIA not to use "bad people" as informers did not help, whose fault was that?

we need to know who decided because the "cold war" was over  we did not need the CIA anymore.

[Eagler]

the "investigation" is a witch hunt - a 20/20 hindsight blame the POTUS for 9/11, after all "he just sat there reading childrens stories as the towers burned"

wise move avoiding the "investigation" as long as possible

[Lizking]

My heart goes out to all of the Widows and Widowers, they have had a rough row to hoe, but Tragedy does not make you smarter, better looking or more qualified in International affairs.

Looks to me like Rush is a Big Fat Idiot.... Oh wait, thats been proven already.

Now that's a well thought out position.  Way to prove your point.

There was an interesting bit of research done by the Wall Street Journal on part of this subject. It's on the editorial page.

I heartily recommend it to people on both sides of this discussion.

As you may suspect, it appears there is both truth and deceit on both sides of this question.

Among the widows featured on TV news shows last week were Monica Gabrielle and Mindy Kleinberg. These women are members of a group called "September Eleventh Families for a Peaceful Tomorrow."

Article with accusations in it.

As a 501c3 nonprofit project of The Tides Center, we cannot, and do not, endorse any candidate for political office

The non-profit, tax-exempt organization representing the families of September 11 victims who are critical of campaign ads by President Bush is a project of the Tides Center, which has received millions of dollars in charitable contributions from foundations chaired by Teresa Heinz Kerry
