GOP Senate candidate yanks video showing smoldering 9/11 site

[Scurrilous]

"This one is ugly.

GOP Senate candidate Roy Blunt's campaign has pulled down a Web video displaying the smoldering remains of the 9/11 attacks alongside audio of his Democratic opponent saying the location of the Islamic center should be up to New Yorkers to decide.

And now the Dem, Robin Carnahan, is going on the offensive over the issue, demanding that Blunt apologize to the families of 9/11 victims for exploiting the tragedy for political gain."

"The Blunt campaign yanked the video, and Blunt says he wasn't aware it had been posted. But Carnahan is making it an issue in the Missouri Senate race, demanding an apology:

"Congressman Blunt should immediately own up to what he did, take responsibility for it, and apologize to the families of the 9-11 victims, whose tragedy he exploited for his own personal political benefit."

1. 9/11 just reminds Americans about how pathetically Republicons failed

in protecting America.

Eschew Republicon chickenhawks in any and all roles having to do with defense. Or finance. Or protecting our natural resources.

Hell, eschew Republicon chickenhawks altogether.
