Re: 9-11-07 General Strike (none / 1)

Two (or more) wrongs don't make it right.
I would agree that whomever the President is must always say or do something but on that day it should remain non-political. Obviously my comment has nothing to do with the day before or the day after or any other day. People are free to do what they wish.

Of course, but it speaks to your wider point: exploitation of 9/11 is not automatically a losing proposition.

Re: 9-11-07 General Strike (none / 1)

As with any event it is always political fodder for either side, just not on the day of 9/11. That's a day when this should all take a day off and allow the families of these victims a day to themselves.

Regarding the politicization of 9/11 I think Republicans took it too far and now are paying a price for over-exploitation, such as the lack of action on the 9/11 Commission recommendations and the fact that the tall bearded skinny guy is still hanging around.
