6. I don't think people are that upset about it.

Not unless they are told they are upset.

The 9/11 family anger will not be passed along in nightly newscasts, and wasn't. Even if it were passed, Republicans would find some supporter to parade.

Bothers us because we find Bush complicit with 9/11's loss. For those who don't, dark commercials with bright red flags look dignified enough.

Hiding it reinforces "it must be Clinton's fault."

The 9/11 comission will produce thick gobledegook. Then, PR will hit us from a hundred directions at once.

In the confusion, darkend 9/11 sights with a comforting bright flag will feel welcome, unless listeners are convinced that enough people think it's not.

7. I take some of this back. This might have legs.

TV Guide: 9/11 Families condemn Bush on American prime time.

Sorry, I'm new to ineractive politics.

8. This is getting a LOT of press....

Which I think is great. Their opening salvo winds up being several million dollars wasted on what turns out to be bad press.

11. Kerry should WELCOME Bush's use of 9-11....

And start counter attacking. Kerry could show scenes from 9-11, INCLUDING the Booker Elementary video. While providing the following commentary:

Before 9-11 the Bush Administration ordered the FBI and CIA to lay off the bin Laden family.

Before 9-11 the Bush Administration received briefings warning of terrorists plans to hijack American commercial planes.

Yet, on that fateful day, when Bush was told of the first plane hitting one of the Wotld trade towers he joked about the pilkot being horrible. Then, when Andrew Card informed Bush of the second hit, Bush went on to read a book to children for half an hour.
Afterwards, during this country's worst day of crisis in decades, the "President" was whisked all around the country to different hiding places.

Since that day, Bush's "leadership" has resulted in two illegal, immoral and unjust Wars based on fabricated evidence and the use of fear as a propaganda tool designed to manipulate U.S. citizens into supporting pre-emptive invasions of sovereign countries and the violent overthrow of their leaders - elected or not.

All this time, the Bush Administration has done everything they can to hamstring and sronewall the 9-11 commission.

President Bush. If you don't have anything to hide, why do you act like you do?

These are just some ideas of how Kerry can make 9-11 the issue that takes Bush down. Indeed, it may be the only way, as I've told you before.

We will soon find out just how far John F Kerry is in the pocket of the military industrial complex.

12. Funny, I thought they PULLED the ads...

But I just saw it an hour ago on FAUX....And no, it was NOT as part of a story.

Oh, what a freakin' genius! All this free air-play of their ad. Who cares if it's offensive? it's getting the "Product" name out there.

Hope it back-fires on them.

And what happened to Karen Hughes' family that she wanted to spend more time with? Did she get dumped and he took the kids? Nothing to do with her useless life but go back to what she loves best, shillin' for the Shrub?

13. It's been big news in Canada too...

and the reporting has not been favourable to Bush re the ads. I notice how the US media doesn't mention that citizens from 60 countries died on 9/11. He is not only insulting his own citizens but all the others as well. Geez, I despise him beyond words!

14. Not surprising that the repuke callers on Washington Journal

this morning didn't think it was that bad. Whatever Bush* does is A-OK to them. Will at least 1 honest republican admit that this is in poor taste?
