Forgive me if I am splitting hairs, but I have no issue with the Bush campaign referencing 9/11. It is a seminal event in U.S. history. Whether I like him or not, President Bush rose to the occation and led this country through an incredibly trying time.
What I do have an issue with is the image of a body, draped in the flag, being carried by rescuers. It is only flashed for a second, as though they thought it would be subliminal. I find it disgraceful that they would use the image of an American who lost their life to further their political fortunes. This is the same White House that (rightfully) forbade the T.V. Networks from filming the return of slain soldiers from Afganistan and Iraq. Apparently it is not permissible to record the return of deceased U.S. servicemen and women, but we can show victims of terrorism for political gain.
