As if there isn't enough of a reason to dislike Tim Roember, his web site,
www.timroemer.com, crassly manipulates 9/11 imagery.
That's the image from his web site. This is the same outragious fearmongering tactic that Bush uses to push his agenda. Unbelievable.
The issue for me in this Chair race is who can craft a message that plays to our values. If we try to use the same tactics as the GOP, we will lose. We must appeal to the instincts of the American public that believes in hope and progress, not cynicism, fear, and division. Roemer's web site shows that this is not the race he intends to run. He intends to run as the 9/11 Commissioner, and constantly shove it in others' face that they have no claim to that tragic event.
Well fuck that.
I'm an American, and all of us as Americans have claim to that event. If you want to sentimentalize that, fine. If you want to use it as a latent attack on others' patriotism, fuck off.
