Michelle has a stark reminder about the difference between the political Right and the political Left.

Here’s how bloggers are marking the 5th anniversary of 9/11:

On the left, DU’ers prepare a mass Google-bombing campaign against ABC’s 9/11 docu-drama, “The Path to 9/11,” because of its critical look at the Clinton years…

On the right, Dale Roe organizes 2,996 bloggers to honor the memory of each and every one of the innocent men, women, and children murdered five years ago by jihadi hijackers…

Michelle calls it a “rather striking contrast”… I call it a reminder of what we’re facing on November 7th.

1. […] Update: Texas Rainmaker rather cogently reminds us of another upcoming date…. in November, at the polls. Posted by Jim Filed in Media Watch, Culture War, Moonbats […]

2. Using our nation’s greatest tragedy as an excuse to attack Democrats? Disrespecting those 2,996 people who perished that fateful morning for an excuse to add political spin to their deaths in an election year? Using public broadcast airwaves to launch a production of lies and fact ommissions and then falsly claim that it is based upon the 9/11 Commission report when all the Commission members claim that this simply is not true?

   Yeah….remind yourselves again about November douchebag! Ya got nobody to blame but yourselves. I’m voting Democrat for the first time since 1976 and if you look in the mirror, you’ll know why.

3. Err, Syntax, which lies and fact ommissions would that be? I’m curious. Also, did even ever noticed that Jamie “the wall” Gorelick was on the 9/11 Commission panel? If you want bias, that would be it.

   Really? Looking in the mirror will tell me why you’re voting Democrat? Hmmm…a-ha! You’re voting Democrat because…I’m bald! No? You’re voting Democrat because…I’ve got that small mole at the base of my neck, just above my collarbone! No?

   Damn…introspection is HARD!!!

   Idiot…

5. Sin-tax, there is a fine line between honoring and exploiting, isn’t there? The right understands honoring and remembering those and the families of those neighbors who were killed just because they lived and worked in America. Because the left didn’t come up with some sort of plan to honor anyone, they have to discredit those who do by labelling it “exploitation”. Nice try, but no prise.

   “I’m voting Democrat for the first time since 1976…”

   And you actually expect us to believe this as factual? There is no chance in Hell after reading the liberal talking point screed preceeding it!

6. Syntax:

   I think you got it wrong on the comparison of how the left and right approach the understanding of how 9/11 needs to be remembered and analyzed. I agree with the commentator above (Old Soldier) that the “honoring the memory” approach of the right seems to be more appropriate than the “cover our rears by obfuscating the facts” approach of the left. The reaction of the left to a critical, and I hope honest, look at the events leading to 9/11, (by a left leaning network!!!), demonstrates that they are afraid of what might be shown or discovered or revealed.

   We are all going to be safer if the mistakes of the past are acknowledged. I personally have no interest in beating up on the decision makers who made mistakes, but I do have an interest in exposing any flaws in our collective ability to make those decisions. For example, if we elect leaders who are unwilling to deal with our enemies at any level, including attacking them, then we will fail again and more of our own countrymen will die.

   It has seemed to me for some time that the left’s leaders would be unwilling to kill Bin Laden if they could. And that is one of the reasons to vote against the Dems.

7. Syntax, so, you’re saying that Clinton was wrong and a coward for not going after Bin Laden when he had the opportunities (plural)?

   Just wanna hear you say it.

8. The movie doesn’t go back far enough (or did it?). Terrorists against the United States began in Tehran during the Carter administration with the hostages. Every so often terrorists would invite the U.S. into war by bombing. In 1993, the World Trade Center. U.S.S. Cole. U.S. Embassy, Khobar, and so on until 2001 with the two attacks on the World Trade Center. It was younger President Bush who accepted the invitation to fight the terrorists and this was something that he didn’t give up on. The U.S. could no longer at that time ignore these terrorist attacks. Clinton tried to ignore them throughout his two terms but it was ultimately Bush’s decision to finally take the fight to the terrorists. Bush has the balls to do so. Clinton wimped out and he still want to rewrite or cover the truth of his own history from the 9/11 movie. Unreal.

   Will the next president have as much resolve to fight as Bush? If the next president is a Democratic, then a big no. You see, many Liberals continue to help the terrorists’ side with their actions and idiocy that having a Democratic president in 2008 will only serve to witness real quagmires by an undecisive administration.
