In case you forgot - the ReTHUG 2004 convention was all 9/11

in New York.

Fuck the fucking hypocrites who are bawling now.
Obama did take out Osama.

<snip>
Venue

The choice of Madison Square Garden on January 31, 2003 by all 165 members of the Republican National Committee as the venue for the 2004 Republican National Convention meant that New York City would host a major Republican nominating convention for the first time in the nation's history. On July 19, control of Madison Square Garden was officially handed over to the Republican Party under the administration of Chief Executive Officer of the Convention, Bill Harris. Mayor Michael Bloomberg thanked the party for their choice, for which he had vigorously lobbied, noting it as a significant display of support for the city and an economic boom.

Timing
The convention took place in New York City a week before the third anniversary of September 11. The attacks were a primary theme of the convention, from the choice of speakers to repeated invocations of the attacks. At the convention, there was a performance of "Amazing Grace" by Daniel Rodriguez, a tribute to those killed on September 11. Relatives of three of the victims spoke and talked about how September 11 brought the country together. Also contributing musically were Brooks & Dunn, Sara Evans, Lee Ann Womack, Darryl Worley.

because in a time of war, you mock purple hearts if the Democratic nominee was given three by the Navy.

destroy them. What's more M$Greedia allowed them to mock Kerry's service while hiding the truth about Bush's service.
Only ReTHUGs have the right to use 9/11. They even claimed that they kept America safe when the worst attack ever happened under their watch.
Up is down - in is out - lies are truth!!

The good news is that Obama is in front of them and not afraid to call the fuckers. How dare they suggest that Obama should not include his foreign policy success in his own campaign.

That entitled prick Rmoney actually believes that no one should call him on his own words. Fuck him!
