Sessions keeps talking about 3000 with "no civil rights"

[annabanana]

because they died on 9/11
What the hell is he going to do when the death toll of servicemen and women in Iraq exceeds that number?

[drm604]

1. Sounds like a new talking point.

We'll probably be hearing that a lot.

[annabanana]

2. I've already had righties spew that at me

The steam will go out of it soon enough..When the death toll of Americans in Iraq reaches 3001.

[marmar]

3. They've tied their whole agenda around 9/11...

One day it's going to blow up in their faces.

[Dr.Phool]

4. With the new Patriot Act, illegal spying, and everything else going on.

There's going to be aver 200 million without civil rights.

Sessions turns my stomach every time he opens his mouth.

[sharp_stick]

5. Duct tape and bungee cord

It would do a wonderful job of reducing the amount of bullshit that we have to hear from these repuke losers in the senate. Sessions is a worthless waste of skin.

[annabanana]

8. lol... that was my exact comment

to Mr. banana sitting over on the sofa... "waste of skin"

[formercia]

6. The missing of NOLA go well beyond that

and they have none to speak for them.

[annabanana]

11. It's heartbreaking isn't it..

nowhere is published that shameful number, that sorrowful number..

Not naming it doesn't lessen the pain..

[atommom]

7. Pat Roberts was the first I heard using that line.

I'm sure we're going to hear it 20 times a day from now on. :banghead:

9. "Waving the Bloody Shirt"

This has become SOP for radical Republican demagogues.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_shirt

It is a totally illogical statement, but Sessions invokes the emotion of 9/11 to distract from Bush's criminality. He's implying that anyone who questions Bush's actions is to blame for 'terrorism'.

Pretty sleazy tactic ... but then, what to you expect from these fascists?

[Rocknrule]

10. Someone should respond "Give me liberty or give me death!"

[endarkenment]

12. This is a play on the victims rights meme.

I wish they weren't so good at coming up with this shit.

[MrBenchley]

13. So the rest of us shouldn't have any either?

What a frigging idiot he is.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

14. Sessions is a moronic, Henry Gibson looking shill for the * Admin

who does nothing for the state of Alabama, but lines his pockets via the Repug machine.

[ComerPerro]

15. What will the Republicans do, in general, when the death toll exceeds 3000

[kskiska]

16. They love that "3,000" figure

Not all the 2,752 people who died 9/11 were American citizens. All told, nearly 500 foreigners from 91 countries lost their lives in the Sept. 11 attack.

[formercia]

20. Nice round numbers take the individuality out of it all

something easy for a kool-aid drinker to remember.

[bluedog]

17. bush should have read the DAMN memo.aug6 2001

and possibly we might have not been attacked..........if bush had not sat on his dead vacationing ass and did his job.....

[guruoo]

18. Here's your comeback

the '04 Presidential campaign:

[Yollam]

19. Nobody who has been murdered can enjoy civil rights.

Oh, and the millions who die of heart disease can't enjoy their civil rights.

Are we to spy on what foods people buy and in what amounts? Are we going to declare preemptive war on Philip Morris Tobacco and Hostess Twinkie Corp?

What an idiot. Why are wingnuts so totally unable to make a logical point?

I would like to know exactly when Iraq attacked New York, and how the government invading the privacy of American civilians without a warrant or probable cause is supposed to prevent such an attack.

[Rocknrule]

21. Republicans truly believed

that 3000 people lost their lives that day so that they could have absolute power

[FreedomAngel82]

22. It's clear to me

they care more about someone who has died than they do me.

[Solly Mack]

23. Actually, they died with more civil rights than we have now

so one can truthfully say they died more free than Americans are today. Sort of the last "free" Americans.

So I guess that means they died for nothing - since rights and freedoms were eroded and government blames that on the events of September 11, 2001. The actions of the government suggest those people died in vain - and for nothing.(well, except for a power grab - they did come from their deaths - so we can conclude the government used those deaths to abuse power)

So really, government is making a mockery of those who died that day. And each and every single time government uses those deaths to justify the abuses of power, the bigger the mockery grows.

America dishonors those who died by eroding civil rights and liberties.
