Crush Liberalism

Night and Day

That was then…:

Remember when the Democrats screamed bloody murder, like this time and that time, charging that Republicans were seeking to “politicize 9/11″? 

And this is now…:

Hillary Clinton thinks she’s come up with an ideal counterweight to offset Rudy Giuliani‘s post-9/11 popularity – but actually, she’s only revealed yet again what 9/11 means most to her: more victims for Uncle Sam to take care of.
…
Clinton’s effort to best Giuliani on this score came in a TV ad she unveiled Thursday focusing on health care.

The ad shows images of 9/11 and says Clinton “stood by Ground Zero workers who sacrificed their health after so many sacrificed their lives – and kept standing ’til this administration took action.”

In so doing, New York’s junior senator becomes the first 2008 presidential candidate from either party to use 9/11 footage to hawk a political message.

Not that there’s necessarily anything wrong with that. But who would’ve thought the first 9/11 message from a candidate would be about . . . health care?
…
Last month, for example, she said: “From the first moment that I came to Ground Zero on the day of the evil attacks . . . I knew we were going to have problems . . . That people were going to get sick and people were going to die from what they were exposed to.”

The moral of the story?  You’re not allowed to reference 9/11 in political ads or messages unless you’re (1) a Democrat; or (2) pimping universal health care.  Got it.  Thanks for the clarification, Hilldawg.
