Republicans defile the dead
Here's the infamous, ghoulish video that ran during the Republican National Convention. This is republicans ripping the remains of the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks from their graves and rubbing them in the faces of the electorate in their desperate plea to stay relevant.
Dead Americans, dead New Yorkers, used, dishonored, exploited. It's shameful. Republicans think they died to give them dramatic footage.
They weren't murdered in their thousands, on the watch of a republican administration, to be a tool of sleazy republican operatives. On 9/11 itself, it didn't matter what your party affiliation was; not to the hijackers of the planes, not to the victims in the towers, not to the police officers and firemen who died trying to save lives.
It shouldn't matter now. So what to do?
The best way to stop republicans from dishonoring our dead is to hold them to account. Call them, and demand that they repudiate their nominee's sickeningly cynical exploitation of dead Americans. Contact info for New York City republican Senators and Majority Leader Skelos is over the fold.

Bouldin Hypocracy
Now who is playing politics using 9/11? On 9/11, no less.
"Hypocrisy".

2004 Repub Convention
My wife and I were so disgusted by the exploitation of 9/11 by Republicans at the 2004 Repub Convention that we protested extensively even though my wife was 8 months pregnant. I will never forget the image of my very pregnant wife chasing frightened delegates down the street shouting "Shame on you for using our tragedy for your photo op." Boy did they run from her!
One of my finer moments
as a political artist (no false modesty here!) was the poster I carried in that big demo in 2004: a large b&w graphic portrait of a smiling George Bush, with a thought balloon emerging from his head saying, "Thank Heaven for 9-11!", with 9-11 rendered, in color, as the 7-11 logo. At the bottom, "Stop playing politics with our tragedy!"
Your wife and I were evidently on the same wavelength.
