- kebinusan, on 09/05/2008, -16/+287Pretty disgusted by this and certainly agree with the Olbermann commentary
- apothekari, on 09/05/2008, -10/+252They'll show this carnage but not the Dead Soldiers and Damaged soldiers coming home from Iraq.
Not the Horror of Katrina or the housing crisis or the dead civilians from Afghanistan earlier in the week.
Put that on the goddamn Jumbotron you ***** vampires. - inactive, on 09/05/2008, -12/+193These RNC people are really sick in the head.
- KurtK9, on 09/05/2008, -14/+156The sad thing is I bet the average American expects nothing better from the Republican party. Why not just go all the way and blatantly tie yourself to 9/11 with a video tribute.
- twiztidsinz, on 09/05/2008, -12/+139When do we get to out these guys as terrorists?
"Terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorist#Key_criteri ... Psychological impact and fear – The attack was carried out in such a way as to maximize the severity and length of the psychological impact. Each act of terrorism is a “performance,” devised to have an impact on many large audiences. Terrorists also attack national symbols to show their power and to shake the foundation of the country or society they are opposed to. This may negatively affect a government's legitimacy, while increasing the legitimacy of the given terrorist organization and/or ideology behind a terrorist act.[10]
Perpetrated for a political goal – Something all terrorist attacks have in common is their perpetration for a political purpose. Terrorism is a political tactic, not unlike letter writing or protesting, that is used by activists when they believe no other means will effect the kind of change they desire. The change is desired so badly that failure is seen as a worse outcome than the deaths of civilians. This is often where the interrelationship between terrorism and religion occurs. When a political struggle is integrated into the framework of a religious or "cosmic"[11] struggle, such as over the control of an ancestral homeland or holy site such as Israel and Jerusalem, failing in the political goal (nationalism) becomes equated with spiritual failure, which, for the highly committed, is worse than their own death or the deaths of innocent civilians. - e3boy, on 09/05/2008, -17/+134in 1938 the crowd chanted
Sieg Heil! ... Sieg Heil! ... Sieg Heil!
in 2008 the crowd chanted
USA! ... USA! ... USA! - NKDN8, on 09/05/2008, -10/+122If it is fear-mongering they are after, please inform them that they can stop - mission accomplished. I have no greater fear than the thought of the republican party winning this upcoming election.
- matt70, on 09/05/2008, -14/+124[sarcasm] Wow...I'm sure glad that John McCain recommended just two months later (Dec 2001) that we invade Iraq...we needed to get the people that did this...what, Iraq didn't have anything to do with 9/11 you say? The real guys who did this are hiding in the mountains of Pakistan and Afghanistan???? We ignored them to go after that mustachioed fella who didn't have weapons of mass destruction after all???[/sarcasm]
That's not change we can believe in...that's more of the McSame.
Si se puede!! - monker1980, on 09/05/2008, -10/+89First post on Digg - and I've been lurking for a LONG time. This disturbed me enough to finally register so I could digg it.
America please make the right choice - what you guys decide in November will affect all of us.
Monk. - HarrisonBn, on 09/05/2008, -9/+74This is absolutely disgusting.
- mattmccarty, on 09/05/2008, -10/+74I love the Republicans say that we, the democrats, are in a state on denial when it comes to 9/11 and the answer is no we are not.
We Americans have these images burned in our memories and we will/can never forget them. We don't need to see the videos again.
Thank you and you should be ashamed of yourselves for using this to boost your ratings, not NBC but the RNC.
-Matt - dancameron, on 09/05/2008, -4/+60I gaged when I heard, "and McCain will not let this happen again".
WTF is that? - inactive, on 09/05/2008, -24/+74I guess they didn't put the dancing israelis in it because there were already so many in the crowd at the convention.
- waydee, on 09/05/2008, -5/+47Thats ***** awful, I don't understand how anybody could stand up and applause that - people that fail to recognise a piece of blatant propaganda, scaremongering and a campaign ad for a political party exploiting the dead.
Disgusting and the fact that I know millions ate it up willingly is even more disgusting, these people should be ***** ashamed of themselves. - phuzzy3d, on 09/05/2008, -9/+51Where's Cheney been hiding? Oh I forgot, October Suprise. He must be in the war room prepping for the attack on Iran.
- Idietired, on 09/05/2008, -3/+39You know what's funny? I don't even care for Olbermann that much. As a journalist, I get pretty offended by the 24-hour "news" pundits on both sides of the Left/Right spectrum.
That said, I think he was absolutely right about that video. It had no business being shown at that convention. It was disgusting, and it was very poor taste for the Republicans to try and use something like that to fish for votes.
It proves nothing is sacred to them, and that sickens me. - delvallenate, on 09/05/2008, -9/+45Good ol GOP.
Doing what they do best...... scare the crap out of you to vote for them.
Heads up GOP.....
You are NOT the only one who loves & will defend this country!!! - zip000, on 09/05/2008, -2/+37What is with the chanting USA anyway? I mean, it's not like they're competing against another country, yet the dumbass republicans just keep chanting USA.
It makes sense at the Olympics; at a national political convention it makes you look like a moron. - HopeMonger, on 09/05/2008, -11/+45wow
- pdurod, on 09/05/2008, -8/+42GOP: The party of exploitation, social stratification and projecting fear to a recovering American populous. The main stream media needs to expose and stamp these scum out of existence.
- dragonDC, on 09/05/2008, -5/+38The first attack was in IRAN???? WTF? Is there a link between the Hostage crisis in Iran and Al Queda? They can't align the attacks of 9/11 with the Iranians...oh wait, they just did.
- thebigsix, on 09/05/2008, -8/+40They must have stole that from Rudi because that's the only thing that came out of his mouth during his campaign...9/11, 9/11, 9/11. When you have nothing else to run on, I guess you can alway conjure up images of 9/11.
- Daedalus81, on 09/05/2008, -2/+32That is what got me. That those people actually stood up and cheered that *****. I want to puke.
- Rotzooi, on 09/05/2008, -7/+36Let me translate this into Republican for you: "Muslim terrorist Barack Hussein Obama is plotting another 9/11 against the children of America"
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -10/+39Sick bunch of freaks
- Seaton, on 09/05/2008, -7/+36Bush was overheard saying "This is a great movie, the special effects are awesome..."
- jefuchs, on 09/05/2008, -7/+36Terrorists cannot destroy America. They can, however, get us to destroy ourselves.
Bush has killed more Americans than the terrorists did. He's destroyed our economy, and our international good will. Are these not the goals of terrorism.
Who is the real terrorist? - darthjure, on 09/05/2008, -5/+32Republican strategy:
1. Be at war*
2. Ask: which party can lead through this difficult time of war? (implication: only Republicans)
* if we're not in a war, start one - mranderson86, on 09/05/2008, -10/+37Pure Evil.
- BulletsforRingo, on 09/05/2008, -2/+27I want to go live on a bloody island where none of this ***** matters...
- RadioKBWS, on 09/05/2008, -6/+30Brainwashed Party crowd going crazy looking at destructive images juxtaposed with one of the archenemy Bin Laden on a huge screen while a narrator dictates who is the enemy and how they attack us (neglecting that at one point some of those groups all lumped together were our allies)?
Jeez, I mean all that's missing is McCain's face superimposed over all of it. - apextek, on 09/05/2008, -8/+31couldnt even watch all of it, thought I was going to vomit
- SigmaDraconis, on 09/05/2008, -9/+32That was disgusting, yet unsurprising. I see I didn't miss much by not watching any of the RNC convention this week. Also, say what you want about Olbermann, but he was right -- that video was made purely to re-open old wounds.
And did anyone else get some deja vu from that tribute video?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlofjKEkSrA - Obamaisourhope, on 09/05/2008, -13/+359/11 Brought to you by the party who helped make it happen. By the party of ignorant scumbags who love to profit off death and destruction..
Man i love Keith Olbermann.. a real voice amongst assclowns - AndrewDB, on 09/05/2008, -6/+26I don't think I've ever been more disgusted by the republican party.
- TNmary, on 09/05/2008, -4/+23Here we go one more time - FEAR, FEAR, and yes, more FEAR. Hey it got Bush elected in 2004 why not try it in 08. McCain is running on these issues; only these: POW and 9/11. What does either have to do with experience/judgment to be our POTUS?
- thakur01, on 04/27/2009, -5/+24I remember shortly after 9/11 being heckled in Sydney for being a '***** terrorist Muslim' by ignorant white Australians. Yup, that's what fear breeds, Hindus being attacked for looking like Muslims.
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -4/+21Yeah, more soldiers have died in Iraq than those who died on 9/11. They also didn't mention all those from around the world who died in the towers. Never mind the 10's of thousands of innocent civilians who have died and the millions who have had their lives destroyed. This video almost makes me glad for all the republicans that died on 9/11 but I won't stoop to their level of petty hate.
- ScrewedThePooch, on 09/05/2008, -2/+19Sorry, but I care more about my own country than Israel. Not saying I hate Israel, but we need to get our own ***** together before dancing off to the rest of the world. I would have hoped we'd learned this by now.
- toonworld, on 09/05/2008, -1/+17It means that he let it happen the first time, so he won't let it happen again.
There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again
~George Bush - IamNOTmrT, on 09/05/2008, -5/+21They hate freedom? Arrggghhh! Don't insult people's intelligence.
- vladin, on 09/05/2008, -1/+16Welcome to Digg.
- JoeHammer, on 09/05/2008, -3/+17Dugg for mention of the "Jumbotron"
- dmadip, on 09/05/2008, -1/+15as a real republican, i am embarrassed for the whole party by this tripe.
- acis1, on 09/05/2008, -7/+21what the *****
- pintomp3, on 09/05/2008, -1/+14"rabid kaffiyeh-wearing pseudo-leftists" maybe some of us just want to stop sending billions of US taxpayer dollars to israel every year. is that anti-semetic?
- hillwalker, on 09/05/2008, -1/+14It's the new 911 religion:
Sarah Palin: War in Iraq is "God's Plan"

Sarah Palin: Alaskan Pipeline is "God's Will"
http://64.191.203.30/2008_us_elections/Sarah_Palin ... - ParaSwarm, on 09/05/2008, -3/+15You have strong ties to the military, cgraivnes? I am in the military, and will be a veteran when I get out very soon after serving my time. That video disgusted me. It's a patriotism-pandering, disgusting propaganda attempt. The republican party has reached an incredible new low. Yes, we all remember 9/11, but keep the deceased out of an election campaign.
I can't even put this into words properly. It was disgusting. - DavidGX, on 09/05/2008, -4/+16Someone's quite angry.. a little buyers remorse over your undead nominee and his bimbo running mate?
It's ok, let it all out. - fluxion, on 09/05/2008, -3/+15Barack Obama didnt, and is he not McCain's opponent here?
McCain is also one of the few (the rest being the Bush administration) who still claim Iraq was a great decision in retrospect, and that they would have done the exact same thing if they got a do-over.
"my friends, that's not change we can believe in, that's ***** stupid!" -
