Remember, Remember The Eleventh Of September

Wes Comer doesn’t think Republicans should be chastised for showing the footage from the Trade Center and Pentagon attacks during their Convention:

This isn’t a Republican, Democratic, Libertarian, or Constitution Party issue. It’s not a black thing, a white thing, a man thing, or a woman thing. This is an American thing. We should watch it every year just like we watch the footage of the Pearl Harbor attack. Every American should count on having a lump in their throat each September, and should give pause to remember that we face a very real, no matter how faceless, enemy.

If every time there’s a gray cloud in the sky we’re forced to watch footage of the Katrina disaster, complete with bodies floating in the water, should we be satisfied when we’re told that “out of respect for the dead we’re not going to air the 9/11 footage?”

Remember. Remember. Remember.
