9/11 families coached?

[dooz]

VOICE ONE: I think for someone like President Bush who has not cooperated with this commission, who has stonewalled this commission.

VOICE TWO: This president and his administration blocked the creation of the commission, have stonewalled the commission.

VOICE ONE: If this was realistic from the morning of September 11th, it would show President Bush before a group of children listening to them read while, uh, the Twin Towers were burning.

VOICE TWO: If he wants to show a picture of 9/11 depicting what he was doing, it should be a picture of him sitting and reading in a classroom to school children. That's where he was on 9/11.

VOICE ONE: And we need to find out why 3,000 people were murdered on his watch.

VOICE TWO: You know, this happened on his watch.


Anybody else regularly use the word "stonewalling"? I guess it just isn't part of my normal vocabulary.

does it matter if they're coached, if they agree with the points they are being coached on?

[WinstonSmith]

Reminds me of "gravitas."

There will be no logic in this thread!

Rush Limbaugh suggested this.

I think anyone who believes it is making a huge assumption. I think the most likely scenario is that these people have heard the arguments in the media and repeat what they've heard since it fits their point of view.

I'm not buying this conspiracy. Nor do I buy many of the arguments these people are making.

[dooz]

Not only does it appear coached, but pre-meditated coaching. The very night the Bush ad came out, they were ready! Already lined up and the media just happened to find these families..

[Dr.Gonzo]

The first point, about not co-operating is valid.

The other two are just shit. 9/11 would have happened on anyone's "watch". And the whole 10-15 minutes of not acting is really reaching. WTF does it matter? Honestly was there anything in that timeframe he could have done to make the situation better?

And I'm not even a GWB supporter, but this is weak.

Is it true or not? That's the question!

Hell, Paula Jones was dug up, financed, and coached! For 4 years, yet!

Let the games begin!

Careful what you wish for.

why should anything rush limbaugh says be taken as gospel? the guy is a fucking imbicile to the core. of course anything he says will have a severe right leaning slant.

I hope you're equally as honest when it comes to David Corn or Michael Kinsley.

[glen a richter]

political radio talk shows usually make me laugh my fucking ass off. They're all assholes, but Limbaugh is among the very worst of the lot.

[Damtoft]

The "widows of 9/11" that objected to Bush's commercials are all members of an anti-war left-wing activist group funded by.... drum roll..... Teresa Heinz-Kerry!

Imagine that.

[Moe_Szyslak]

Hilarious and pathetic.

Bush gets called on something he's clearly "good for," and the spinmeisters find a way to deflect blame toward the victims' families? One more example of Rush ignoring facts that don't fit his (and his followers') world view.

Rush didn't have his pills this morning.

Hey, it's a viable excuse.
