Pro-McCain yard sign shows burning twin towers


A group of Republican activists is displaying signs in Florida with a provocative image of the burning World Trade Center to argue on behalf of John McCain's presidential campaign.

The yard sign, which was spotted outside a McCain campaign appearance in Jacksonville, displays the message "Keep America Safe! Vote McCain Palin." The signs were produced by the Ronald Reagan Republican Assembly of Central Florida, a chapter of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies, which appears to be a conservative activist organization unconnected to the party itself.

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann noted the sign's existence in a segment in which he also condemned a separate group of conservative activists who are purchasing newspaper insert advertisements including DVDs of the right-wing movie "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West."

Olbermann referred to the DVD as "neocon pornography" and accused the right of using 9/11 as a political tool, a practice he himself has occasionally engaged.

"Remind yourself that when we were attacked the government that let us down was Republican and that their new candidate has a secret plan to capture the guy who masterminded 9/11, but he won't tell anybody about it until we elect him president," Olbermann said to end his Monday night segment.

1. Change "vote" to "from" and you've got a deal.

2. I would ask them, "So who kept you safe on 9/11?"

3. Good idea, since it was a REPUBLICAN that FAILED to prevent 911.
Good idea, since it was a REPUBLICAN that IGNORED the pre-911 warnings.

Good idea, since it was a REPUBLICAN that shrugged and said "ok you've covered your ass" ...and then went on a month-long vacation.

Good idea, since it was on the REPUBLICAN watch that 911 happened.

7. The solution was to give the same crowd
of corrupt officials MORE POWER! Vast unchecked power! And then suggest anyone who had issue with the unitary executive (aka dictatorial power) was an unpatriotic, al Qaeda sympathizer. Yet it was the President who classified 28 pages of the Joint Inquiry report which dealt with Saudi support for al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar in San Diego. Pattern: Cover up Saudi links to al Qaeda and push non existent links between Iraq and al Qaeda.

The GOP motto: Patriotism is authoritarianism.

6. Should be the golden arches....
That is more representative of the GOP's entire philosophy.
