I don’t know if I have ever seen a more disgusting example of fear-mongering than the RNC’s 9/11 tribute video below. They actually use the words “and kill us they did’ (watch at your own discretion)
Beyond being an alarmist, below the belt way to scare people, that video is also quite inappropriate - as Keith Olbermann pointed out:
I’m all for the Republicans making their points clear and for their arguing that John McCain has more foreign policy experience, but this goes too far. It is disrespectful and low.
I’m still somewhat speechless.
Please takepart to help victims of torture and to learn more about what fear mongering has allowed the US to justify.

I can’t watch it either.
It makes me sad that people of this continent think the rest of the world is trying to take us down because they are jealous and they want what we have.
That is not true. What many here do not realize is the rest of the world knows most of its resources have been channeled here to give us the LALA Life.
Then we threw them the garbage.
Wouldn’t you want to stop us if you thought we were killing the planet, which of course, we are?
Remember how wealthy Africa and India made the Europeans.
Who helped US? All those living elsewhere that had resources they were not using.
We handed out the guns, and probably bibles, and took the resources while they were busy.
I want Mr. McCain or Mr. Bush to answer this: Do you think they did Manhattan because we did the Congo??
