Un-FUCKING-believable! The righties are politicizing the WTC memorial!
I can't believe this shit!

Oh, wait, I can. Stupid one-track mind motherfuckers.

WAKE UP GOVERNOR PATAKI! “Blame America” groups will have a venue - on top of a mass grave site - to express their sympathy for terrorists, and complaints about their treatment.

Governor Pataki, surely you don’t believe Ground Zero is an appropriate venue for political activism. Surely you don’t believe it is appropriate to open Ground Zero to anti-war rallies and flag burning events!

Governor Pataki, surely you don’t believe an IFC at Ground Zero is an appropriate venue for those who would show sympathy for TERRORISTS!

The IFC represents the wrong people telling the wrong story. Sacred ground has been handed to people who plan to use Ground Zero to push a political agenda, while pushing aside a fitting and respectful memorial for the victims. This is even more scurrilous than those Ground Zero street vendors and con artists fleecing unsuspecting tourists.

We need to control political dissent, just like the fascists and communists! That will show the terrorists how much we love freedom!

2. According to a netsol whois
The admin contact of that website doesn't live in NYC, and so as a native NY'er, I shout out my heartiest "Fuck you and your worthless opinion!" to him.

3. I'm not signing that sh*t
Politicization is exactly what belongs in this memorial. As the event itself was very political, and events stemming from it are very political. The only way to memorialize the victims properly is to provide a history lesson on what led up to it and what has transpired since.

Truth is the best memorial.

4. Suprised? WTC has been politicized since day 1.
it's the only reason right wingers have given NYC any thought at all in the last 20 years, and it's disgusting.
