I have two photographer friends in New York, both work for a large magazine (which will remain unnamed/conspiracy theories be damned). I was shown the photos, privately, by them. The magazine will not release these photos as they have been deemed too grotesque. My point being, I don't need to have a poster of WTC jumpers hanging over my bed in order to get my rocks off remembering 9/11. I will never forget. Those in support of the War, and Bush in general (and Santoro specifically), seem to think that just by the mere act of disagreeing with you (ie: Bush SUX! Iraq=No WMD), a person somehow "forgets" about 9/11. How stupid is that?
I'm all for splattering the terrorists all over the sand. But, the latest OBL tape shows how much of a failure Bush really is, so he needs to go. It has NOTHING to do with lack of remembering the horrors of 9/11. In fact, it's exactly WHY BUSH NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS FAILURES.

Riight. Nice extrapolation though. If I've argued for Bush to held responsible, I've done it with researched arguments based on inductive reasoning, not appeals to pity and prejudicial language (Santoro's post includes two of the main logical fallicies of Motive). Have I ever posted pictures of bloodied, wounded, or dying soldiers? Have I ever posted pictures of massacred Iraqi children? Burned/charred civilians? They exist, as much as you'd like to ignore them.
Didn't think so. You have no point.

Santoro wanted strong words...he got them. Don't play the fool. He only cares about peoples 9/11 remembrances insofar as they can be used to paint Bush as some type of avenging angel/war hero.
To answer your final question, given the fact that I don't feel the need to sink to emotional blackmail and debased pandering...yeah, I am really that much better than those who would, and those who'd support them (You/Santoro). Glad we could finally clear that up.
The thread is back anways you big whiners.

I would consider my post antagonistic in nature. My bad, and I am considering myself warned.
MrC, we can make up after today. :-*
Even if Kerry wins.
If Bush wins, naturally I'd be extra nice to you, kinda like killing you with insincere kindness, but either way, your passion is encouraging - people care! - although you encourage far more riff-raff than I care to hear from ;)

Hey Saint, I was listening to Lewis Black today....do you happen to be a fan of his work? You strike me as exactly how he was portraying himself.....can't remember the CD, but it was the one where he is in Minnesota.
