how indymedia remembers 9/11
While I sit here collecting heartbreaking stories about that day, reading very personal and very bittersweet details of the emotions that people went through on 9/11/01 and the resulting affect it had on their lives in the two years after, there are people with bitter hearts and depraved minds making efforts to remember the day as the day that Bush=Hitler became the mantra of the far left.
I used to pity some of the people on Indymedia. I used to laugh at some of them. Since last month, I've been feeling this outright disgust bordering on hatred for all the denizens of that sewer of the internet.
Never let anyone tell you that it's not all the people at Indymedia who feel that way - people don't hang out there and post there and take part in their activities (activism, if you will) if they don't fall for the whole ideology.
This is the picture, just in case it disappears. Remember, even though posts of this kind are taken down from time to time, it's not because the editors are horrified at the thoughts of the posters. It's because they don't want people like me making posts like this, making public what the collective cretins of Indymedia really are.
[Nevermind about the picture, I don't have Photoshop here and can't optimize it. If anyone would like to do that for me, I would appreciate it. As it is now, the photo is 1.04MB and that's just huge].
UPDATE: Thanks to Stacy, the picture can be seen here, in the even of its removal from Indymedia.

I don't see the picture you refer to. If I could get ahold of it I would be more than happy to modify it for you.

Don't I feel like a poopyhead. I didn't even click on the indymedia link. I try to avoid that site unless I need a good laugh.

I'd like to know if these ... people ... actually believe "Bush = Hitler" and, if so, just when did Bush plunge the world into war and kill tens of millions of people? Perhaps I should pay more attention, but I just never noticed it.
Actually, I really do wonder if this type of claim is just bombast, if the writer doesn't have a clue about the real Hitler, or is living in a fantasy world where only his special media contains "The Truth."
Ultimately, there is little point in wasting time with them - you can't reason with people like that. Just leave them to their fantasy club.

Just when you think people can't go any lower....I have a talk show host here saying that she was exhilerated that the Bush Administration might not have acted as quickly as they could have....What's wrong with these people.

On a somewhat related note, I was jogging this evening and saw some grafitti painted on a bridge to the effect of "Meat is murder", and I had a fun illusion where I would add to that so that it said "meat is murder..ously delicious..mmm mmmm"

tsk, tsk. Don't they realize it? Why, any good paranoid worth his/her salt knows: Reichstag = Murrah Building.

That's just sick. How anyone can celebrate that day is beyond me.
