Wow, I believe Gibson is now in the running for "Asshole of the Century"...
Gibson just mocked Jon Stewart's grief? What the hell? Making fun of a New Yorker for his sorrow over 9/11, that's just bullshit! The guy pours out his heart and soul on national television, breaks down in tears and they just... wow... that was just wrong... Also this "Angry Rich" guy, calling Stewart a phony because he cracks jokes at Bush's expense, you know I actually felt a little nausea after hearing these idiots BSing like that, just terrible... Fuck him and fuck Gibson. (Please pardon my french.)
To make fun of a guy's grief and sorrow over 9/11... you're right Kat this was just sickening. Does everyone at Fox News act like this when they're on the radio? (I know that Hannity, O'Reilly, Gibson, and Colmes have radio talk shows, I'm not sure if anyone else from Fox does though.)
I loved Jon Stewart's thoughts on 9/11, they were raw and uninhibited, yet truly inspiring. I believe he was dead on with what he told his audience. (I mean, what better view from your home in America, than The Statue of Liberty. You honestly IMO can't top that. Especially when that's the view after the towers fell!) He was right when he said that while "any fool can destroy", our unity, our fellow Americans coming together to unite and to rebuild after such a horror, was extraordinary. We weren't exactly holding hands on 9/10.
The guy who called in Gibson's show made a good point IMO; we were united on 9/12. We were still united when we went after the Taliban and bin Laden in Afghanistan. There wasn't such a thing as "Two Americas", just one U.S. of A. If Bush didn't even try to get us into Iraq, if we caught Bin Laden while fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan, if we were actually fighting Al-Qaeda with all of our will and determination, who knows? We may have still held on to that sense of unity, just for a little longer at least.
I think, and I'm sure all of you would agree, that we really don't need another 9/11; we don't need another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. We don't need another mass murder of innocent civilians to bring back that sense of unity, and anyone who thinks otherwise should seriously ask themselves if the ends justify the means. Hmmmm, I wonder if they would mind being one of the victims... Everything I say is a lie, and that is the truth. |
