I love you, Keith...

[YvonneCa]

...Olbermann. Thank you for your words. Thank you for saying them NOW. That footage was NOT appropriate. The RNC is shameless.


I am sorry for your pain at seeing that.:patriot:

“We are the party of Roosevelt. We are the party of Kennedy. So don't tell me that Democrats won't defend this country. Don't tell me that Democrats won't keep us safe.” ~ Barack Obama

2. what did the people at CNN say?

Welcome to DU.


Glad that I didn't see the video. They are fucking shameless bastards.

[mscuedawg]

9. Wolf B agreed the video was tasteless...

Campbell Brown did also...and both said that it had NO PLACE in a political arena. They didnt use the term "scare tactic"...but thats what was alluded to...

And thank you for the welcome...its great to be in such great company! : )

[PatSeg]

24. Welcome to DU!

[Cha]

30. Thankfully, they didn't go along with it and spoke the obvious!

Thanks from me too for the recap, mscuedawg, and Welcome Aboard:bounce: :kick: :party:

[mscuedawg]

11. Anyone notice that BUSH and his bullhorn...

...standing on the rubble WAS NOT included in the video?? Who thinks that wasnt on purpose...

[Cha]

34. bush was edited outta the 9/11 video..that's got

make bush feel Dissed!

[Berry Cool]

3. Damn, I missed that part!

Someone post it, please!! I switched to Project Runway because I couldn't bear even the thought of that video!

[YvonneCa]

4. Fear. That's what worked in 2004...

...and they are using it AGAIN. Shameless.

[napi21]

5. I saw KO's appology, but I had the TV on mute earlier. I take it the RNC

showed a fairly long video of 911?

Sorry, I can't stand listening to those Pubs. After screaming obscenities at my TV I decided it just wasn't worth it to even hear what the opposition had to say!

[YvonneCa]

7. Yes. Brokaw talked about their 'plan'...

...and then they cut to KO and he reacted to the video. Thank goodness someone did.

[melody]

6. One of the only honest people on TV n/t

[msallied]

8. Christ... what am I missing? The people who are not with TV need to know!!

[K8-EEE]

19. The asshats were showing explicit 9/11 footage THAT HAPPENED ON BUSH'S WATCH BTW

In order to exploit & politicize Bush's huge fuck up.

[Cha]

33. 9/11 Happened on bushrovecheneywatch and they're up there

showing it like they have something to be proud of.

[Pisces]

10. My sentiments exactly!!

[YvonneCa]

29. We Pisceans think ...

...alike! :7

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. What video?

Is there a link?

[asdjrocky]

13. We lost a family member in those towers.

It makes me sick when people try to capitalize on that tragedy.

[Marnieworld]

25. So sorry for your loss

It makes people sick even when they didn't lose someone directly. We all lost a lot that day and that they exploit it to their benefit is disgusting. Not to mention the cognitive dissonance since it was a colossal unexplained failure of security on their watch. You'd think they'd hide from it like Katrina?

[asdjrocky]

32. You would think.

But these people have no moral compass. Unfortunately, the American people have been so easily fooled so many times, these asswipes only give it half effort these days.

[Mad_Dem_X]

37. My condolences.

We need to stop these despicable people from exploiting the tragedy, that happened on *their* watch!

[Errrica]

14. What did he say?

I completely missed the video & any reactions... I was watching the Colbert rerun. :D
But sounds like I should be glad I missed it...

[YvonneCa]

20. He basically said he needed to say something...

...and he needed to say it now. He said it upset him, that he had lost friends on 9/11, and that if any viewers were feeling like he did, he appologized for the showing of it.

[senseandsensibility]

21. But what was in the video?

Details, please.

[YvonneCa]

23. 9/11 footage...

...for several minutes.

[senseandsensibility]

28. Thanks. I am soooo glad I'm not watching these creeps

I'd probably burst a blood vessel. However, I am surprised that anyone besides Keith is calling them on it. So that's good.

[Cha]

35. I bet New York City Peeps are PISSED

as they should be!

[mzmolly]

22. I missed it. I'm sorry for Keith and everyone who lost

family to the incompetence of this administration via their ignoring repeated warnings that the US was about to be struck by terrorists.

[YvonneCa]

26. EXACTLY. n/t

[NotThisTime]

31. Also wanted to say I'm sorry to those who lost loved ones....

[mb7588a]

38. I'm ashamed of their shame.

And they say they're more American... huh.
