Default Republican Convention shows clips of 911

What a disgrace! I was watching the Republican convention and before I know it, I see the twin towers footage of 911. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!! I personally have lost family and friends on this tragic day and to be reminded of this pain leaves me speechless. Is this how low the Republicans will go? Scare people for their votes? Yes, it happened, yes, it's tragic and NO, we don't need to be reminded of 911. We obviously know we can be attacked by terrorist at any given moment but we don't need to see this footage all over again to remind us.

You must understand,that's one of the cards they play to try and gain leverage around election time. They pull that one every time,as well as raising the terror alert and catering to the religious right.

To remind them and the convention center that Republicans were in the charge of the White House, House and Senate on 9-11.

We need to be reminded of 9-11 every day. Most of us have already forgotten what those sons of ******* did to us, and too many in this country are bending over asking them to do it again.

Invoking the Twin Towers....they actually did it. Remember that Family Guy ep. where Lois runs for mayor against Adam West and she keeps saying the words 9/11 even though it has no bearing on the topic, yet keeps getting applause? Fiction has become reality.
