And David Rockefeller will give a speech about the obsolescence of autodetermination and the glories of a World Government. Complimentary Kool Aid provided by the Council on Foreign Relations.

It's a nice gesture, actually. Generic and contrived, but a nice gesture nonetheless on both their parts.

And Rudy will 9/11.

Wrong, subby. My candidate will lead a tasteful and solemn remembrance, while his opponent will crassly use the occasion for partisan political purposes.

9/11

 
HowlingFrog [TotalFark] 2008-09-06 02:48:50 PM  
Meanwhile, carefully left off-camera, NYPD will be using Gestapo tactics against the thousands of Truthers who are also going to be there.

Should be interesting.

You know, it's really sad that while my candidate has the decency and strength to respectfully remember our brave and strong heroes, your guy has to horn in and shamelessly play politics, spinning tragedy for political gain...sickening.

 
keiverarrow [TotalFark] 2008-09-06 03:17:58 PM  
Your guy is such a passive aggressive elitist. This is such a cynical move, obvious pandering.

 
what_now [TotalFark] 2008-09-06 03:23:31 PM  
This was clearly MY candidate's idea, and his obtuse opponent forced his way into it. My candidate, however, has the dignity and grace to share the stage with this buffoon.

Wake up, BOTH candidates are doing that. Their styles are just different.
Both have almost identical foreign policies.
What's really sad is that neither candidate has spoken up for an independent investigation into who was behind the attacks.
Watch for Osama in the crowd; he'll be wearing a goatee, bandana on his head, and Oakley shades.

I hope they're all like, "Step aside, I want to honor the dead first..." "No way, I already called it." "But you lost the coin toss!" "But I'm ahead in the polls this week!" "Give me the damn flag!" *shove* *elbow* *shove*

Wasn't there a link just yesterday by Fark's left deriding McCain for using images of 9/11 for political gain?

And now it's suddenly okay because Barry's joining in?

No matter where you put a pile of shiat, a Democrat will always find a way to step in it.

there's no difference between the republican national convention and a bipartisan commemoration. gotcha

I hope Rudy does the right thing and stays away.

There's a great comment in this article that I'm going to echo here...I'm so sick of the 9/11 patriots that rail on democrats for being progressive, liberal, elitists. They attack us for living in big cities and they attack New York in particular and deride it's citizens as rude and obnoxious (we're obnoxious but we aren't rude...we just don't engage in phony small-talk). Suddenly these same people drive around with their WTC bumper stickers and pretend that they actually give a crap about New York or New Yorkers. If 3000 people in New York were killed in a subway accident these people wouldn't give a damn. The ultimate irony - is that Rudy "Mayor of 9/11" seems to have joined this crowd for political purposes. Just stay home, Rudy.

9/3/2008: Never Forget

 
Mugato [TotalFark] 2008-09-06 03:58:09 PM  
Now is Obama's chance to call out McCain and this "war" as having nothing to do with 9/11.

 
Il Douchey [TotalFark] 2008-09-06 04:02:20 PM  
Howling Frog: Oh, and your candidate sucks.

Look pallie, your guy is a raging fraud and crazy. You know it, I know it, he knows it. Not only does my candidate not suck, he is trying to SAVE AMERICA FROM DEATH. But you and your funboys would just love that, wouldn't you?

Believe me...New Yorkers remember who was President on 9/11 (even though we didn't see his face here until 3 days later). Rudy showed far greater strength, courage, and leadership on 9/11 - which is why he's such a disappointment now. And we remember that it was the Republican controlled Congress that actually tried to cut terrorism funding for NYC after 9/11 so they could spread their pork to states that al Qaeda couldn't even find on a map of the US.

Like when he put the brakes on the victim rescue/recovery work to concentrate on the gold rescue/recovery work?

HowlingFrog: Like when he put the brakes on the victim rescue/recovery work to concentrate on the gold rescue/recovery work?

I was only referring to his Weeners and press conferences. He seemed genuine - he was there in the street trying to help people. Bush was circling the country while Cheney was hiding in a cave. Don't get me wrong - Rudy is a self-serving asshat of the highest order and after the other night I hate his farking guts - but for one day in his life he showed some leadership at a time when people here needed it.

Because that's probably where the reporter is at the moment.

No, I was ragging on the old core joke, Jacksonville Fl, instead of jacksonville NC, where the rest of the marine core soldiers hang out.

You think? He had a post 2 1/2 hours earlier bylined Middletown, NJ. I'd usually expect to see that one of the candidates was at the location, or some darn thing.

It's easier then we might think. All McCain is going to do is change the meaning of the word capture.

Wait, they're going to be showing graphic images of death and destruction during the commemoration?

And they're going to be doing it in a partisan manner that will net each of them some points against the other?

And have you always been a lying sack of crap?

Obama's in Terre Haute today, according to a Yahoo News story I just saw. Maybe he was in New Jersey earlier? Dunno.
