9/11 Families Update

Richard J. Tofel explains that there's plenty of room in the acreage made available by terrorist attacks of 9/11 for his organization to build it's Hate America First Center. Most notable in Tofel's carefully worded pacification attempt is the complete lack of denial that his organization's site is anything other than what it has been accused of being. Instead he offers this: If you oppose us, you're un-American! He quotes both Lincoln and George Bush for the benefit of all you ignernt red Staters too.

Tim Sumner of 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America responds. WARNING: Sumner's post includes photographs that TV Networks have determined can evoke violent responses from Americans, read with caution, and remember we brought it on ourselves!!!!

This post from Lileks on a different topic seems even more apt today:

I can imagine in late 2001 asking a question of myself in 2005:

What?s the main story? The smallpox quarantine? Fallout from the Iranian ? Israeli exchange contaminating Indian crops? A series of bombings in heartland malls?

"Well, no ? the big story today has to do with soldiers mishandling terrorists' holy texts at a detention center."

Mishandling? How? Like, you mean, they opened it up without first checking to see if it was ticking, and it blew up ?

"No, they handled it in a way that disrespected it. Infidels are supposed to use gloves."

Oh. So we lost, then.
