I was watching CNN's coverage of the RNC when the RNC started showing a video about remembering 9/11. The CNN crew, not only their liberal commentators but even their anchors started making comments about how "some people" will say that a video about 9/11 with "powerful images" has no place in a political convention. Blitzer said that "some" say that there is no need to bring these images into this hall. John King noted that "some" will say that a video about 9/11 is "playing politics out of a tragedy." Brown added that the message from the RNC is "fear" and made a rhetorical question that "is that what Republicans want?"
Obviously, these types of comments and criticisms against Republicans are nothing new. That's what the libs said in 2004 and now they are saying again in 2008. Libs want to pretend that 9/11 never occurred. But they do so not because they want to be "sensitive" to the victims of 9/11. Rather, they want 9/11 to disappear from the memories of the American people, because the American people have typically perceived the libs that make up the Democratic Party as "weak" on defense/foreign policy since the Jimmy Carter days. So these libs and their media lackeys (i.e. CNN) cry out foul every time someone talks about the war on terror, or 9/11, or how no more attacks on American soil have occurred since President Bush took the war on terror onto foreign soil.
Libs can so easily diffuse the perception of being "weak" by adopting a tougher policy. Instead, libs choose to chant their usual mantra of moral relativism while singing kumbaya with people who don't particularly like America. Instead of adopting a tougher policy against the "bad guys," libs want to say that America needs to have "clean hands" before telling those Russian invaders that they are "bad." And ultimately, instead of telling the American people that they, the libs of the Democratic Party, will lead America to victory over terrorism, libs would rather pretend that there is no war against terror, and that America should just leave 9/11 alone in Vol. III, page 439 of Encyclopedia Brittanica.
I wonder why libs in the Democratic Party are so afraid of being tough.
