Not sure what forum to put this one in, but I thought I'd post it here.
This guy is a nut. As a conservative, I disagree with this 100%. 9/11 should not be used in a political campaign by a candidate, and what this guy did was really, really tasteless. I saw him interviewed on FOX News by Jane Skinner on "Happening Now" and she didn't give this guy a pass at all. She took issue with him singling out Democrats and suggested stated that 9/11 shouldn't be used this way. I think even the most intellectually dishonest FOX News bashers might actually applaud FOX News for beating the guy up a bit.
It was nice to see people from both sides of the aisle speak out against the billboards. It's almost the silly season and we're going to see all the nutbags crawl out of the woodwork this election season. It's going to come from both sides, and it is my hope that we can pick out the fruit loops and discard them regardless of who our horse is in the race.

Awards: | Re: Billboards in Florida Link Democrats to Burning World Trade Center What Meehan has done comes close to what Ann Coulter busted the Jersey Girls for. But not quite. From reading the article I got the impression this guy actually thinks in that way. And because of his sincerity I'd give him a tsk, tsk but that's all.
The fact is that he does have a point.
9/11 was the result of a Democratic under response to repeated attacks.
And Democrats are and have been making noises that they believe our own government is a bigger threat to our safety than Jihadists and terrorists. And too many damn people have, well, they haven't exactly forgotten 9/11, but they act as if it was a fluke. 'The danger is past. Jihadists have been licked in Iraq. We can go back to our old way of life and elect a Democrat who feels the same way as we do.'
His sign says what I just did in fewer words and more succinctly.
Hell, maybe we do need to be reminded.
I take back my Tsk, tsk!
Hell yeah!
I'd vote for him! |

I'd vote for him! | I take it you didn't see the guy interviewed then. He is nothing short of a buffoon. He couldn't even make his point in a complete sentence. He fits the profile of what a "dumb southern republican" would look like to a 't'. |
