From Salon--Conservative writer: Obama plans "to desecrate 9/11"

[KatyaR]

This is absolutely vile. Note the author of the AS article refers to 9/11 as a "day of fear."

You might think that President Obama and Congress designated Sept. 11th as a "National Day of Service" in order to commemorate the people who lost their lives in the terror attacks of 2001, and the spirit of volunteerism that followed. But Matthew Vadum is here to tell you different. In an article for the American Spectator titled "Obama's Plan to Desecrate 9/11," he says he knows what it's really about:

The Obama White House is behind a cynical, coldly calculated political effort to erase the meaning of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks from the American psyche and convert Sept. 11 into a day of leftist celebration and statist idolatry.

This effort to reshape the American psyche has nothing to do with healing the nation and everything to do with easing the nation along in the ongoing radical transformation of America that President Obama promised during last year's election campaign. The president signed into law a measure in April that designated Sept. 11 as a National Day of Service, but it's not likely many lawmakers thought this meant that day was going to be turned into a celebration of ethanol, carbon emission controls, and radical community organizing ....

The plan is to turn a "day of fear" that helps Republicans into a day of activism called the National Day of Service that helps the left. In other words, nihilistic liberals are planning to drain 9/11 of all meaning.

1. How can one desecrate something that is not sacred?

Like the Johny Wingnuts that claimed that Sarah Palin's picture of her with the baby had been "desecrated" when someone photoshopped Limbuagh (or whoever it was) onto the baby's face.

Impossible to desecrate something that isn't sacred.

Look up words in your dictionaries, you rightwing shitfucks, before you use them.

9. I feel the same way about

"flag desecration." No matter what you feel about the flag, it is NOT a sacred item, therefore it cannot be subjected to desecration. Disrespect, perhaps...

"I sing of Olaf, great and proud..."

2. Ohhhhh, we can't have *that*

The nerve of those nasty liberals, trying to turn our cynical manipulation of people's fears into something positive and uplifting...BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!

3. I lost someone that day, in those towers.

It makes me sick, really, when people do this.

4. My husband almost died there

He was in the subway under the towers when it was it. The train had to go back to the previous station.

I still get chills, and people who write garbage like this have no idea what they are talking about.

Edited to correct typo.

5. Republicans need fear in order to control the public.

They need fear to screw the nation, and make billions of dollars for a few.

6. 9/11? Does he mean "Bush Day?"

Does he mean the day Bush sat and did nothing while America was attacked resulting in the murders of 3,000 of our citizens?

Does he mean, "Bush Day?"

[Proud Liberal Dem]

7. "......leftist celebration and statist idolatry"

:wow: just :wow:

I REALLY don't want to know where he pulled THAT from!

8. Is this an actual quote from that writer?

"The plan is to turn a "day of fear" that helps Republicans into a day of activism called the National Day of Service that helps the left. In other words, nihilistic liberals are planning to drain 9/11 of all meaning."

WTF?????
